Yeh submitted his resignation on Wednesday after lawmakers voted down his ministry's financial restructuring plan for the distressed Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. (THSRC)

Yeh considered the restructuring plan to be the most important task during his tenure, and believes he should be held accountable for its failure.

However, both the president and the premier hope that Yeh can stay on. Premier Mao Chi-kuo (毛治國) has been in talks with Yeh in the last couple of days, trying to persuade him to stay.

But Yeh has remained resolute in his decision, and Mao finally gave in last night. His post will be taken over by MOTC Deputy Minister Chen Chien-yu (陳建宇).

In a press release issued yesterday, Mao affirmed Yeh's efforts for the THSRC financial restructuring plan, and praised Yeh's character and his willingness to take responsibility.

Mao also expressed regret that Yeh's intention was misunderstood by lawmakers and society. In addition, Mao expressed his appreciation of the efforts made by Yeh and others at the MOTC to carry out government work.

MOTC Wants Uber's Registration Revoked

The MOTC said Friday that it has asked the Ministry of Economic Affairs to revoke the company registration of ridesharing service Uber in Taiwan.

The ministry said Uber has registered in Taiwan as an information services business while in reality it is operating a transportation business.

It has also hired drivers who do not have commercial driver's licenses, a requirement for local taxi drivers.

The ministry has asked Uber several times to abide by the law and apply for a transportation business license, but Uber has ignored the requests, it said.

Uber is operating illegally and has not made any improvements, the ministry said, a situation that is unfair to other legal transportation operators and has left its passengers unprotected.

Since September, the Directorate General of Highways has issued Uber 92 fines totaling NT$10.4 million for violating the Highway Act.

It has also issued 91 tickets for NT$4.55 million to drivers who have joined Uber and operate their own cars to carry passengers.

The Directorate General of Highways said the number of fines Uber has paid is in the single digits while simultaneously filing administrative petitions challenging the other fines.

It knows that as long as it has paid one fine, the government cannot enforce payment of the other fines during the petition period, the agency said.

San Francisco-based Uber entered the Taiwan market in mid-2013. As has happened in many other countries where it has launched services, it has faced obstacles to doing business here due to local regulations and taxi drivers worried about losing business.
