September 11: Profuse apologies
Ye Wenxiang, chairman of Chang Guann, apologises for his company’s part in the gutter oil scandal as the company is fined US$1.6m. Ye explains that the tainted oil was bought from Kuo Liehchen's company in good faith, and insists that the oil from his company has always been of good quality. He attempts to illustrate this by drinking a container of oil in front of a press conference.
