Yang Sui-sheng (Chinese: 楊綏生; pinyin: Yáng Suīshēng; Foochow Romanized: Iòng Chŭi-sĕng; born 10 November 1954) is a Taiwanese politician. He was the Magistrate of Lienchiang County from 20 December 2009 until 25 December 2014.[2]
In 1996, while he was flying to Matsu Nangan Airport on Nangan Island, the airplane made an emergency landing at sea due to bad weather. A doctor by profession, Yang and his wife assisted the other passengers. From this experience, Yang began focusing his time on improving transportation infrastructure.[3]
Responding to the referendum result on the establishment of casino in Matsu and that the result showed 56% voted in favor against 42% who opposed in July 2012, Yang said that he welcomed the result, saying that the establishment of casino will bring change for Matsu Islands. It would improve the transportation infrastructure and could bring in more tourists.[4]
In December 2013, he urged the Legislative Yuan to pass the Gaming Act (Chinese: 觀光賭場管理條例) as soon as possible so that it can bring job opportunities to Matsu residents and benefit Taiwan's economy as a whole. He also added that there is an urgency to modernize the transportation infrastructures of the county, such as airports and harbors. However, due to the limited funding by the central government, such a proposal is not yet feasible.[5]
