Supporters of Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou yesterday encouraged all political figures in Taiwan to learn from Ma, who has donated as much as NT$53 million to charity in recent years.

Ma's family assets became a target of tit-for-tat attacks from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) as more people were shocked by the alleged financial scams involving President Chen Shui-bian's family and relatives.

Ma was forced to renew his clarification, saying that he already donated some NT$47 million in government subsidies from two elections for Taipei mayor."
