(大同) should be discharged from her position for abusing her power. In a highly controversial shareholders meeting on June 30, Lin Kuo Wen-yen (林郭文艷), one of the founders of Tatung, retained full control of the nine-member board by blocking several shareholders, who collectively hold a 53-percent stake in the company, from exercising their right to vote. She accused them of illegally receiving funding from China.
