Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 262-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
47,981 on turnover of 19.5-billion N-T.
The market closed sharply higher on Monday as buying was sparked by a big
rally for tech stocks on Wall Street at end of last week.
Analysts says investors opted to pick up tech stocks during the trading day,
and the strong buying continued to benefit semiconductor stocks, led by
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.
Lai touts New Kaohsiung industrial park President Lai Ching-te says Kaohsiung's Baipu Industrial Park will help
strengthen Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem, balance north-south development,
and boost the country's global competitiveness.
Speaking at a groundbreaking ceremony, Lai said the nearly 89-hectare park
would create more than 4,000 jobs and generate about 300-billion N-T in
annual production value, marking a new milestone for Taiwan's semiconductor
industry.
According Lai, the development is expected to shorten the time needed to
introduce new technologies and help Taiwan companies establish a foothold
(立足點) in the global supply chain.
T-S-M-C earlier this month announced plans to develop a 3-hectare site in the
industrial park.
Keelung prison's mooncakes proving big hit Mooncakes made at the Keelung Detention Center are proving a surprise hit
ahead of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
A pair of inmate-bakers are now preparing to ship out around 10,000 of the
traditional pastries over the holiday period.
The two inmates running the kitchen each received training from a
professional baker hired by the detention center.
Word of the mooncakes has spread on social media and the prison's secretary
says orders for the pastries are currently fully booked.
According to the secretary, the prison initially planned to sell the cakes on
a limited-time basis, but if demand continues after the holiday, it will
evaluate (評價) whether to continue production.
UK to offer Saudi Arabia aerial refueling to counter Houthi attacks Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Britain has agreed to provide limited (有限的)

rebels in Yemen.

SAfrica Arrests in Connection with Series of Killings of Women Police in South Africa say they have arrested three suspects in connection
with one of a series of killings of women near Johannesburg.
The nine killings of women in their 20s and 30s in Ekurhuleni over the last
