KMT lawmaker Su Qing Quan has apologized over comments he made in his bid to become the next magistrate of Pingtung County.
He yesterday accused his opponent, current magistrate Zhou Chun Mi, of not knowing the pain of raising a child due to having none herself.
Su's comments incited much discussion and he ultimately took to Facebook last night saying that "if his comments made his opponent uncomfortable then he's sorry."
Zhou's offices said that the issue of having kids is a personal one, and should not be a political tool.
They added that Su's comments represented a serious lack of empathy and they requested that he apologize.
