Kwan Yuk-noan (Chinese: 關沃暖; born 27 March 1945) is a Taiwanese engineer and politician.
Education
editKwan studied civil engineering at National Cheng Kung University and Tulane University.[1][2]
Political career
editKwan joined the Kuomintang in 1972 and was involved in several organizations for overseas Chinese. He represented overseas Chinese on behalf of the party while serving as a member of the Legislative Yuan from 1999 to 2005.[1][2] In 2002, he criticized the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission for keeping a list of anonymous members, which was eventually publicized.[3] After five cadets at the Republic of China Military Academy were expelled for cheating in May 2003, Kwan organized a press conference on their behalf.[4] Shortly thereafter, Jason Hu chastised the group of people who aided and defended the expelled cadets.[5] Later that year, Special Report announced plans to publish a VCD parodying Kwan, as part of a series of political parodies.[6]
In 2009, Kwan expressed opposition to a proposal that the Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission merge with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[7] In August 2010, Kwan was indicted on charges of corruption, and suspected of embezzling payments set aside for legislative aides.[8][9]
