Plans to hold warm-up games for the national baseball team at the Hsinchu Baseball Stadium were yesterday scrapped after industrial waste was found to be buried under the turf, prompting local officials to request an investigation into the origin of the waste.

Disposed electrical cords and pieces of brick were on Thursday found at a depth of 15cm to 20cm, raising concern over player safety at the ballpark, which was reopened after renovations in July last year.

Newly elected Hsinchu Mayor Ann Kao (高虹安) of the Taiwan People’s Party yesterday said that no warm-up games for the World Baseball Classic would be held at the ballpark, which was slated to host at least one Taiwan game.

Possible corruption of the contractor and ex-DPP mayor. This stadium is one of the most expensive stadiums in Taiwan, however after the inspection of American Baseball official wires and pebble stone were found 15 cm below the surface…no underground layers of drainage system was built. The investigation needs to be conducted to find out why industrial waste was dumped and who pocketed the money & did nothing.

Possible corruption case.

This is not the first time, whenever there is construction of stadium there are people putting money in own pocket in Taiwan, cost is much higher than usual but quality is crappy.
