Topic Reading-Vol.482-8/6/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Taiwan vote on nuclear plant referendum sparks brawl.
Parliament is a place where democratically elected representatives or counselors discuss matters and make decisions and laws for the people of the country. It could have a heated argument or rigid standoff and becomes unable to reach any agreement. That is a saga of democracy, isn’t it? But in some cases, a dispute heats up over the boiling point and erupts, and the members of the parliament start fighting with their hands rather than mouths.
That what exactly happened in the parliament of Taiwan when they were about to vote on whether to hold a referendum on completing construction of their fourth nuclear power plant near its capital city, Taipei. Interestingly, some of the members tried to cool down the heat by throwing cool water over other members who were exchanging punches.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the video how heated parliament could go over a controversial issue.
