‘SMEAR CAMPAIGN’: The former Academia Sinica head said the charges against him have scared off world-class talent from returning and contributing to the nationBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterFormer Academia Sinica president Wong Chi-huey （翁啟惠） yesterday rejected charges of financial impropriety and corruption relating to OBI Pharma Inc at a hearing at the Shilin District Court in Taipei.“After the character assassination to smear the reputation and personal integrity of a president of Academia Sinica, what has Taiwan gained from this?” Wong said outside the court.“What has happened is that outstanding talent who are recognized internationally will no longer return to Taiwan to contribute their know-how. It has blocked the road for their return home,” he said.“Because of this, industries are stagnating and no longer making progress. These consequences have resulted in much regret and pain for me,” he added.While prosecutors in February dropped insider trading charges against Wong, he is still facing charges of corruption and misconduct.Wong allegedly helped develop the key biotechnology for cancer drugs while conducting research at Academia Sinica, in exchange for shares from OBI Pharma chairman Michael Chang （張念慈）, and later 3,000 shares were transferred to Wong’s daughter Wong Yu-shioh （翁郁秀）.Wong Chi-huey said the 3,000 shares were bought with money from his family’s mutual funds and were not gifts from Chang.He added that he did not sign any technology transfer agreement, nor did he receive financial benefits from OBI Pharma.“As the developer of the key technology, I went to present my professional opinion. How does that qualify as corruption?” he said.“In negotiating the licensing fees for the technology transfer with OBI Pharma, the final figure we received was more than NT$57 million [US$1.92 million at the current exchange rate], which is higher than the initial offer of NT$2.5 million,” he said.“We received a higher amount, which benefited the nation’s coffers. We negotiated a good deal, which has instead been distorted and vilified,” he added.Wong Chi-huey also defended staffers at Academia Sinica’s Department of Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer, who negotiated the licensing fees.“We have these outstanding negotiators, who deserve to be praised. Why have they been accused of selling technologies developed by the nation on the cheap?” he said.He also said that prosecutors had made numerous error in reviewing and citing evidence, such as misidentifying foreign currencies which resulted in inaccurate valuations of OBI Pharma shares.Wong is a world-renowned biochemist and has been touted as a potential Nobel Prize candidate.新聞來源：TAIPEI TIMES

民進黨是否禮讓台北市長柯文哲成外界焦點，有意參選台北市長的民進黨立委姚文智昨日立誓，若由他征戰卻只得到第3名，將永久退出政壇，對此，黨內的競爭對手、前副總統呂秀蓮今（19）日受訪時表示，姚當然不會選第3名，她也不會，「我們要選就要選第一名。」呂更強調，若兼任黨主席的總統蔡英文也能像徵召前台北縣長蘇貞昌那樣來請她，她「一定會選到第一名。」

姚文智昨日受訪表示，年底台北市長選舉，國民黨提名前立委丁守中，最後結果是姚文智變第三名，「我永久退出政壇」，引發外界熱議；但眾多網友大酸，姚文智的「師父」、前行政院長謝長廷過去也有類似承諾，但現在仍在當駐日代表；前台北縣長蘇貞昌也曾發誓不會選第三次新北，結果現在也出來角逐，姚文智的「誓言」恐怕多少也要打點折扣。

呂秀蓮今日舉行記者會說明她對松山機場存廢的立場，她不以為然，認為黨中央長期以來散布失敗主義，明明柯文哲先前勝選的所有因素現在都沒了，「他欺騙大家他是政治素人，他是嗎？他的票在哪裡？」

呂秀蓮更加碼直言，若黨中央能像徵召蘇貞昌去選新北市那樣的規格請她，她「一定會選到第一名。」

至於姚文智的「誓言」，呂秀蓮說，當然可以給他肯定，「他當然不會選第三名，我也不會！我們要選就要選第一名，只要我跟姚文智商量好，團結一致，我們當然要得第一，誰再講第三名，你給我下台，你不配主導這次民進黨選舉。」

不過姚文智主張遷建松山機場，與柯文哲想法一致，呂秀蓮卻認為「松山機場不可廢」，到底如何團結一致，還得看兩人的政治智慧了。

文化大學董事爭議再掀波瀾！文化大學董事會鬥爭不斷，昨天2名董事李傳洪、林國賢提出請辭，會中更通過表決，讓前校長李天任回鍋。袁興夏一派董事因不滿張鏡湖將「解除不適任董事長」提案排除議程外，向教育部申請自行召開董事會獲同意，預計明天開會。張鏡湖日前向士林地方法院聲請假處分，今天遭駁回，明也將召開董事會「互尬」。文大董事會自去年選出新校長盧希鵬以來，因董事各自擁護人選不同，與董事長張鏡湖關係分裂。本月9日召開董事會時，因「解除不適任董事長」提案被張鏡湖排除在議程外，袁興夏等董事抵制不出席，導致未達門檻流會。.inline-ad { position: relative; overflow: hidden; box-sizing: border-box; }
