After Singskout Meat Rebutted Su Tseng-chang's Ractopamine Remarks, Pingtung Fire Department Visited, Sparking 'Water Meter Check' Controversy

The article reports that Premier Su Tseng-chang mistakenly mentioned during a Legislative Yuan inquiry that Pingtung's Singskout Meat 'very much supported' ractopamine pork and noted its owner was a KMT Central Standing Committee member. Singskout Meat immediately issued a statement refuting this, emphasizing their firm opposition to ractopamine pork imports. However, shortly after the statement, the Pingtung Fire Department showed up for an inspection, leading the KMT to question if this was a retaliatory 'Checking the Water Meter' action by the government. Although the Fire Department clarified it was a routine inspection, the event highlights the sensitivity of interactions between enterprises and the government on sensitive political issues.
