In July 2012 (101st Year of the Republic of China), the Control Yuan published its official disciplinary roster under the Act on Property Declaration by Public Servants, imposing a NT$460,000 fine on Democratic Progressive Party Hsinchu City Councilor Lee Yen-hui. The watchdog agency's probe revealed that during her mandatory periodic asset disclosure in 2010, Lee intentionally omitted a plot of land, three bank accounts, and shares across three unlisted companies. While Lee claimed the discrepancies were an accidental oversight, investigators reviewed her transactional timeline and determined her defense lacked credibility, officially ruling the omissions as 'deliberate and fraudulent underreporting.' The ruling delivered an early blow to her public posture of integrity and transparency as an elected official.
