Is Ma Ying-jeou unemployed now or what?

From yesterday’s TTimes:

[quote]KMT’s search for new chairman stumbles
…
While Wu Poh-hsiung said he expected the new chairman to be elected within 45 days to assist with the upcoming legislative and presidential elections, Wu Den-yih said the KMT will follow all the required procedures to ensure a fair by-election.

Meanwhile, Ma has not made any public appearances since Monday to concentrate on preparing for his upcoming presidential campaign.

As the KMT does not provide campaign funding until after it chooses a candidate in a presidential primary, the former chairman will have to raise funds through his own office.

Ma will still attend a 228 memorial service held by the KMT tomorrow as a guest and have lunch with family members of 228 victims in Tainan County. [/quote]

How come Ma still has an office? He’s not Mayor. He’s not KMT chair. What position does he hold that gives him an office? He had better watch it, or someone’s libel to call him corrupt again. :smiley:

do you really believe that a politician of Ma’s Status (in almost any part in the world) would be a beggar?

First of all, to go inot politics you need money … or a backer … just as in F1 … and when you’re done you’ve enough money to never have to work again …

I don’t think they are referring to a public office.
They are referring to a physical office used for campaigning and public relations.

Being VIP of a political party who is/was(?) one of the richest in the world does not hurt very much either.
