Taipei, April 5 (CNA) Taiwan's main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) on Monday called on President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) to apologize to the public and for Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) to step down, to take responsibility for a deadly train crash last Friday in which at least 50 people died and 202 were injured.
At a press conference, KMT secretary-general Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) said negligence on the part of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government is to blame for the latest express train accident as the DPP government learned nothing from the last train incident involving state-owned Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) in 2018.
