Taiwan - Candidate buying votes with Viagra pills: paper
Hong Kong Standard
September 26 1998

STORY: TAIPEI: A Taiwanese candidate running for a seat in the Kaohsiung
city council was giving away the male anti-impotency pill Viagra in exchange for
votes, the China Times Express reported Friday.

The candidate gave out the pills when campaigning in his constituency in the
southern Taiwan city, where Viagra was reportedly a popular topic of discussion
among senior citizens, the paper said.

The candidate, whose name was not disclosed, had bought boxes of Viagra to
hand out to supporters ahead of the 5 December municipal elections, the paper
said.

Viagra, which sells at NT$2,500 (HK$565) a tablet on the black market, has
not yet been approved by Taiwan's health authority.

According to a poll, 53 per cent of 160 men and 15 women surveyed in July
said they would try Viagra once it became legally available.

More than 220 volunteers have been involved in clinical tests of the drug. - AFP
