進入《TAIPEI TIMES 焦點》 King Pu-tsung denies Ma sent him on secret mission
/ Staff writer, with CNA
Former National Security Council secretary-general King Pu-tsung （金溥聰） returned to Taiwan from Japan on Saturday and criticized guests on political TV talk shows who he said had made speculative and false accusations against him.
He said that his visit to Japan was a simple family vacation, and that he would not be influenced by false allegations against him, but would continue to plan for other trips abroad.
King, known to be close to President Ma Ying-jeou （馬英九）, also said it was regrettable that the Chinese-language Next Magazine reported he was in Japan to carry out a secret mission for Ma.
The article on Wednesday said King’s visit was linked to investigations into allegations that Ma accepted a political donation of NT$200 million （US$6.4 million） from Ting Hsin International Group （頂新國際集團） in 2012.
According to King, every time he travels abroad, he files the required application for permission to travel and books a return ticket.
His travel records are available from the airlines, he said.
King resigned from the National Security Council in February for health reasons and has since been spending most of his time with family and undergoing medical treatments, a friend said.
Last month, a guest on a TV political talk show claimed that King was about to fly to the US with seven other unknown people on a secret mission for Ma, but in fact King was in Taipei at the time, as evidenced by media photographs showing him with friends at a restaurant, his friend said.
