Feng Ting-kuo (; 24 September 1950 – 5 June 2018) was a Taiwanese politician. He served on the Taipei City Council from 1985 to 1988, and was a member of the National Assembly between 1992 and 1996, then represented Taichung County in the Legislative Yuan until 2008.
Feng obtained a bachelor's degree in law from Chinese Culture University before earning a master's degree in computer science from the State University of New York and a doctorate in education at the University of Denver.[1] [2]
Feng was first elected to the Taipei City Council and later sat on the National Assembly.[3] [4] He was a New Party candidate for Taichung County in the 1995 legislative elections and won. Feng was reelected in 1998, and switched political affiliations to the People First Party in April 2001,[5] eight months before a second successful reelection bid. Feng supported a 2004 proposal for the People First Party to merge with the Kuomintang,[6] though plans fell through. He backed efforts to simplify the process foreign nationals married to native Taiwanese had to go through to obtain a work permit.[7] The People First Party suggested Feng fill a vacancy on the Control Yuan in 2007, but he did not receive an official nomination.[8] [9] Later that year, Feng suspended his legislative campaign in favor of Kuomintang candidate Chiang Lien-fu.[10]
Feng was charged with bribery in 2008, for accepting a sum of money traced to the National Chinese Herbal Apothecary Association in 1998.[11] The Taipei District Court acquitted Feng in January 2009,[12] but the ruling was overturned by the Taiwan High Court in September 2010, which sentenced Feng to seven years and two months imprisonment.[13] [14] The Taiwan High Court ruled in September 2017 that Feng was not guilty, and his sentence was revoked.[15]
The Taiwan High Court ruled on a separate case involving Feng in 2012, finding him not guilty of breaching the Assembly and Parade Act in a March 2004 protest of presidential election results.[16] [17]
In the early morning of 5 June 2018, Feng died of myocardial infarction at the age of 67.[18] [19]
