The mother of Kaohsiung City Councilor Huang passed away, leading to the deployment of police for traffic control due to an expected turnout of over a thousand participants at her funeral. However, some police officers expressed their frustration on social media, claiming the level of traffic management resembled that of 'presidential-level' control, questioning whether the mayor was simply catering to the councilor.

According to the police, traffic control was implemented along the funeral route to prevent congestion and ensure smooth proceedings, despite visible empty seats at the event. Officers compared the operation to a presidential detail, feeling it was unreasonable. Online commenters criticized the police's actions and suggested forming a dedicated team for handling high-profile funerals in Kaohsiung.

In response to the claims, the police maintained that their presence was a necessary precaution due to the scale of the event. Councilor Huang had previously voiced opinions on the mayor's governance, which has sparked debates online, with questions raised about potential political motives behind the councilor's actions.
