Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has confirmed that former Taiwan’s Representative to Thailand, who took up the post of Taiwan’s Representative in Thailand in July 2022, was asked to leave Thailand, after less than a year in the job, following allegations of sexual harassment of his secretary during a trip to Northern Thailand.

 

Taiwan’s ‘’MeToo’’ movement is developing rapidly and another allegation of sexual harassment against, former Taiwan’s Representative, Chuang Sho-hang has caused bewilderment in both Thailand and Taiwan. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand (TECO) stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has issued a statement regarding this incident.

 

According to a Taiwanese newspaper, Chuang touched his female secretary’s hands in his car during the trip in December. During the business trip to northern Thailand, Chuang also invited the secretary to discuss the itinerary in his hotel room, but she refused. The newspaper claimed that this was not the only case of Chuang sexually harassing his staff.

Another type of grooming... gently gently catchy monkey.

Another sign that the world has gone PC mad. He touched her hand and that is sexual harassment? And invited her to his room to discuss his itinerary. No doubt a very nice room for someone of his stature, with a business seating area.

 

Wasn't long ago in the UK that a woman accused an office colleague of smiling at her without permission as part of her harassment case against him.

Women like to look ' attractive ' , that is what all the make up and high heels are for ...

That is ok .

But complaining when a man feels ' attracted to them as a consequence of their own appearance , is just hypocrisy .

Touching a woman's hand does no harm to her . If she does not like it , she can complain.

No physical violence should be involved .

As long as this is the case all complains should be dismissed .

Perhaps he was inviting her to shake hands with his wife's best friend.
