A group seeking to recall a legislator has condemned accusations by two other lawmakers that the group's volunteers are being paid, calling the claims misleading. The group, "Shan Chu Wei Hai," refuted the allegations of high salaries. The accusations came from lawmakers who questioned the funding and alleged high pay for volunteers. The group clarified that volunteers are unpaid and self-funded, motivated by civic duty. The controversy arose as the National Party Chairman visited a separate event, while the recall leader was left to collect signatures. The recall group is demanding a retraction of the claims and an apology.
