Whether the first-ever citizens' questioning [in the official debate of 2008 Taiwan Presidential Election] is success or failure, I hope the Taiwan Broadcasting Service can gain several valuable experiences from this event and do necessity overviews. If a similar event is held in the future, I hope the system of filter on questions can be more fair to prevent suspicions.
