The scandal over tainted cooking oil continues to escalate, with various sectors launching boycotts against Ting Hsin and Wei Chuan. Today (14th), the Tzu Chi Foundation deemed the "Xiang Ji Noodles" produced by Wei Chuan safe and refused to remove them from shelves. This prompted scholar Yang Chung-hsin to criticize on Facebook, "Venerable Master Cheng Yen, whose side are you on? The side of the people, or the side of unscrupulous devotees?"
In his Facebook post, Yang Chung-hsin pointed out that last year, Ting Hsin was involved in the scandal of adulterating oil with copper chlorophyllin from Chang Chi Foodstuff Factory. At the time, Master Cheng Yen reminded her devotee Wei Ying-chung to "eat well, sleep well, and remember to take your medicine!" Yet now, Wei Ying-chung not only followed her advice but also "remembered to keep treating us like pigs, selling us tainted oil and trampling on us!"
He noted that various sectors have initiated boycott actions, and even the "Ma-Chiang administration" was forced to convene a national security meeting to declare their "resolve" in addressing food safety issues. However, Tzu Chi's attitude and actions remain baffling.
He harshly criticized Tzu Chi, writing, "The Venerable Master remains silent, the 'Great Love' station stays mute, and the tainted noodles stay on the shelves—completely disregarding their image! Venerable Master Cheng Yen, whose side are you on? The side of the people, or the side of unscrupulous devotees?"

Venerable Master Cheng Yen, whose side are you on? The side of the people, or the side of unscrupulous devotees?
Last year, when the Ting Hsin Group was exposed for adulterating oil with copper chlorophyllin from Chang Chi Foodstuff Factory, Tzu Chi’s Master Cheng Yen reminded her devotee Wei Ying-chung to "eat well, sleep well, and remember to take your medicine!" The result? Wei Ying-chung indeed "ate well, slept well, and remembered to take his medicine"—and also remembered to keep treating us like pigs, selling us tainted oil and trampling on us!
Now, as the latest Ting Hsin tainted oil scandal has erupted, the entire nation is outraged, launching boycotts. Retailers have pulled Ting Hsin Group products from shelves, and the Ma-Chiang administration was forced to convene a national security meeting to declare their "resolve" in addressing food safety issues. Yet, Tzu Chi’s attitude and actions remain baffling: the Venerable Master stays silent, the "Great Love" station says nothing, and the tainted noodles remain on sale—completely disregarding their image!

Scholar Yang Chongxin angrily confronted Master Cheng Yen, asking, "Are you standing on the side of all living beings? Or are you standing on the side of unscrupulous believers?"
The Wei family of Ting Hsin has deep ties with Tzu Chi. This time, when the scandal broke, Tzu Chi still seemed to stand firmly by them, refusing to remove the five types of "Xiangji noodles" produced by Wei Chuan from its shelves. A professor, unable to tolerate this, angrily questioned Master Cheng Yen on Facebook: "Are you standing on the side of all living beings? Or are you standing on the side of unscrupulous believers?"
Urban planning scholar Yang Chongxin launched a scathing critique on Facebook: "Last year, when the Ting Hsin Group was exposed for adulterating oil with copper chlorophyllin from Chang Chi, Master Cheng Yen reminded her follower Wei Ying-chung to 'eat well, sleep well, and remember to take your medicine'! The result? Wei Ying-chung 'ate well, slept well, and remembered to take his medicine,' but also remembered to keep treating us like pigs, selling us tainted oil and trampling on us!"
"This time, when the Ting Hsin tainted oil scandal erupted, the whole of Taiwan was outraged and launched a boycott. Related retailers also removed all Ting Hsin Group products from their shelves... Only Tzu Chi’s attitude and actions were bizarre: the Master remained silent, Da Ai TV stayed quiet, and the tainted noodles were not taken off the shelves, completely disregarding its image! Master Cheng Yen, where do you stand? Are you standing on the side of all living beings? Or are you standing on the side of unscrupulous believers?"
Additionally, regarding Tzu Chi’s application to rezone the Neihu protected area, the Department of Urban Development suddenly announced that it would hold the first review meeting for the "Neihu District Urban Plan Comprehensive Review (Detailed Plan)" at 2:30 PM tomorrow (the 15th) in the Urban Planning Committee meeting room of Taipei City Hall. Neihu residents criticized the rushed announcement of the meeting time as a "sneak attack" tactic.
Yang Chongxin also called out to Tzu Chi: "If the Master has come to a realization and is ready to speak, could you also explain why Tzu Chi insists on repeatedly rezoning 'protected land'—which is crucial for water and soil conservation and national land preservation—for Tzu Chi’s development purposes?"
Netizen "Chong Shan Xiao" also left a sarcastic comment targeting Tzu Chi: "Which side do you support? Abandon the poor and stand with the wealthy! A solemn hermitage, a contemplative living goddess, wealthy and devoted followers—how generous the donations are!" (Real-time News Center / Comprehensive Report)
