Chaos reigns in Taiwanese parliament as lawmakers exchange blows in dispute over reforms

Taipei: Shocking scenes emerged from the Taiwanese parliament as lawmakers shoved, tackled and attacked each other on Friday in a bitter dispute about reforms to the chamber, mere days before President-elect Lai Ching-te is set to take office without a legislative majority. Taiwanese lawmakers were seen screaming and shoving each other outside the legislative chamber before the votes were cast for the reforms, which then moved to the floor of the parliament.
