Police said the smuggling group packed 2,519 grams of cannabis flowers into 24 packets of well-known Thai instant noodles. The drugs were mixed with small amounts of broken noodles and seasoning to make the packets look like normal instant noodles before being resealed and shipped to Taiwan.

Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai (陳其邁) said Thursday the original railings were “ugly” and embarrassing, but said the bridge’s construction quality and safety met standards. Chen said the city would continue making adjustments and should accept public criticism of public works projects.

The playground, built inside part of the former Taiwan Railways Kaohsiung Workshop, is scheduled to open Aug. 8. The main recreation area covers about 1.5 hectares and includes more than 30 attractions, according to city officials and local reports.

UDN reports that three samples contained benzoic acid, a preservative that is not permitted in fresh noodle products under Taiwan’s food-additive rules. Two of the failed samples came from Kaohsiung. One was purchased at Fengshan First Public Market, also known as Bingzai Market. The other came from a manufacturer near Shiquan Market and contained 3.26 grams of benzoic acid per kilogram, the highest level found in the survey. A third sample from Pingtung’s East Market contained the same banned preservative.

The Kaohsiung District Court found that the barrier had reportedly been in place since 1989. It also found that police had handled about 70 reports, complaints, and traffic incidents in the surrounding area over the previous five years, but had still not removed it.
