FTV interviews Ma Ying-jeou, Part 1 of about 8

On the night of December 9, 2008, Taiwan's Formosa Television (FTV/民視) interviewed Taiwan's president, Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九).

Grimace as he struggles to greet the audience using Taiwanese.

Squirm in your seat as he complains about the interviewer judging him based upon what happened after he took office instead of talking about the good stuff that happened in the last few months of his predecessor Chen Shui-bian's (陳水扁) term.

Witness Mr. Ma smile as he talks about quarter after quarter of negative economic growth.

70% of the population speaks Taiwanese??? PLEASE........most younger generation in Taiwan can't even speak proper Taiwanese anymore except for some bad slangs......

[TimMaddog]

Do tell... what do you know about such things?

Perhaps what you call "proper" Taiwanese has suffered from being forced to learn Mandarin in school, being punished for speaking Taiwanese there, and expecting working parents to "teach" their kids the language.

This is a kind of cultural genocide carried out by Mr. Ma "I won't double as party chairman" Ying-jeou's Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). Mr. Ma can't really speak Taiwanese.

a president who cannot even speak the nation's damn language: taiwanese. how bloody pathetic.

[smrvlle]

has Ma's Mandarin accent changed since becoming president? I remember hearing him speak as mayor of Taipei and his Mandarin seemed more characteristically waisheng -- listening to this it sounds much more taiwanese or taiwan guoyu. has he modified his accent over the years to sound more taiwanese and less taipei-waisheng?

Actually,With 85% Taiwanese and 15 % Han chinese(Madarin),Taiwanese should speak Taiwanese language instead of Madarin.

It is unfair when kuomintang ban teach taiwanese in school,and is only teach madarin in school.

Whether kumingtang want when all of Taiwanese speak madarin,kuomingtang will lead Taiwan come back Mainland.

This stupid president only knows how to fight with

DPP. He is a Chinese slave. He is leading Taiwan to the Group of Chinese Communists

and Korean Communists . Taiwan is far away from the Democratic Group ( based by the US and Japan ). He is trying to sell Free Taiwan to Communist China.

馬共正在積極把臺灣帶進以中共和朝鮮共黨為主軸的邪惡集團,而正­在遠離以美日加英法為主軸的民主自由集團,所以馬先生居然發出特­急件通知外館拒絕美日等國的緊急援助(注意中共和朝鮮共黨簽有共­同防禦協定)而臺灣正要加入這個邪惡集團.

I was totally caught off guard when the bloody Chinese Dog tried to speak Taiwanese XD.... Totally made my day...

[Toyokawam]

這群中國奴就是準備把台灣送給中共專政集團,而對主張獨立的前朝­官員全面追殺.

馬先生把一個民主國家送給一個專政集團,是二十一世紀的國際笑話­.
