監委抵金訪視離島基金執行情形

Controllers Shen, Mei-Zhen (沈美真), and Du, Shan-Liang (杜善良) arrived at the Kinmen County Government office to monitor the execution of the Offshore Island Development Fund Plan. They listened to the briefing presented by Chen, Chao-Jin (陳朝金), Director of Research, Development and Evaluation Office, Kinmen County Government. Shen, Mei-Zhen expressed that in comparison to other cases in Taiwan, Kinmen performed relatively well in executing the Offshore Island Development Fund Plan. Nevertheless, Shen emphasized since Kinmen is located at the gateway of the Mini-Three-Links and serves as Taiwan's facade (1), Taiwan-Kinmen transportation needs improving. She advised the related authority to list transportation planning as priority (2) in the offshore construction in the future in order for transportation to become more convenient, and the price of Taiwan-Kinmen air flights to be more affordable. Only with these changes, it would be likely to facilitate the development of Kinmen's tourism industry and economy.
　 監察委員沈美真、杜善良18日抵縣府訪視離島建設基金補助計畫執行情形，並聽取縣府研考室主任陳朝金簡報。沈美真表示，在全國各縣市離島建設基金案件當中，金門的表現不俗，但沈美真強調，金門位處小三通出入口，稱得上是台灣的門面，台金交通確有需要改善。她表示，離島建設未來將把交通規劃列為重點，希望讓交通更便利，台金機票價格更平民化，對促進金門觀光發展與經濟發展才有幫助。
Shen, Mei-Zhen pointed out that the number of passengers of the Mini-Three-Links increases every year, but since the infrastructure of the harbor is insufficient, expansion would be needed. Shen also stated specifically that Kinmen harbor's infrastructure cannot afford to fall far behind (3) that of Xiamen. Controller Du, Shan-Liang, who has experienced Mini-Three-Links himself, expressed that since the Kinmen harbor infrastructure is obviously behind Xiamen's, Kinmen should facilitate the expansion of its infrastructure to improve the quality of its visitor service.
沈美真指出，小三通旅客年年增加，但水頭碼頭硬體設施不足，應針對實際需求進行擴建，尤其不能落後廈門太多，應朝著打造國家門面來做。曾兩度親身體驗過小三通的監委杜善良也表示，水頭碼頭的硬體設施，比廈門港差很多，應加速來推動擴建，以提升服務品質。
