Wei Ping-cheng campaign faces backlash over daughter's Disney promise

Wei Ping-cheng, a Kuomintang candidate for Changhua County Magistrate, has faced significant social media backlash following a promotional video posted by his 22-year-old daughter, Wei Ching-lun. In the video, which showcased the campaign headquarters, Wei Ching-lun stated that if the post reached 10,000 comments, her father would take her on a trip to Disney parks around the world.

Netizens criticized the comment as being disconnected from local issues, with some arguing that a campaign for Changhua should focus on regional concerns rather than personal rewards. The controversy also led to scrutiny regarding the family's wealth and business background, specifically questioning the source of funds for such trips.

In response to the criticism, Wei Ching-lun asked followers to maintain positive energy. The campaign has seen involvement from several family members, including her cousin, a law graduate, as the family leverages its business connections to support the candidacy.
