The Chiayi City Drug Abuse Prevention Center has partnered with Chialo Radio Station this year to produce and broadcast the radio program "Taocheng Drug-Free Chill High High" (桃城無毒chill嗨嗨), which received funding support from the Ministry of Culture. Through on-air conversations, the program aims to introduce the concepts of "recognizing drugs, refusing drugs, and eliminating stigma" into local communities. It allows citizens to understand Chiayi City's efforts and achievements in drug prevention, working together to build a healthy, safe, and friendly living environment.

A special episode featured an exclusive interview with Tsai Tzung-Shi, Chief Prosecutor of the Chiayi District Prosecutors Office. Chief Prosecutor Tsai provided a clear and accessible analysis of the "treatment and rehabilitation system" within Taiwan's drug criminal policy. This included explaining how "deferred prosecution with mandatory addiction treatment" allows individuals to receive professional medical intervention while maintaining their normal lives and employment. Additionally, he introduced the legal procedures for observation, rehabilitation, and compulsory treatment, as well as the correlations between them.

Chief Prosecutor Tsai emphasized that drug use is an addictive disorder; therefore, the purpose of judicial intervention is not merely to punish, but to use public authority to help individuals overcome their addiction, break their cycle of drug dependence, and open up new opportunities for recovery. However, he warned that for those who lack the motivation to quit, repeatedly violate regulations, commit recurring offenses, or even drive under the influence of Class 1 drugs like Etomidate—thereby endangering public safety—severe legal penalties will still be strictly enforced.

Furthermore, with the "5-in-1" local public official elections scheduled for November 28 later this year, Chief Prosecutor Tsai reminded the public that accepting cash, gifts, free meals, or organized trips could all constitute vote-buying. Such offenses carry penalties of up to three years in prison and a concurrent fine of up to NT$300,000.

Chief Prosecutor Tsai encouraged residents to report any instances of vote-buying, phantom registrations (ghost populations moved for voting purposes), or election gambling. Rewards for reporting foreign interference in elections can reach up to NT$20 million, up to NT$10 million for vote-buying, and up to NT$5 million for election gambling. Citizens are welcome to help safeguard democracy while earning substantial rewards.
