About Yang Jen-fu

Yang Jen-fu (Chinese: 楊仁福; pinyin: Yáng Rénfú; 16 February 1942 – 4 September 2024) was a Taiwanese Amis politician. == Early life == Yang graduated from National Taiwan University with a degree in political science, then became a teacher. He was of Amis descent and was active in a Hualien County-based association of Amis people. == Political career == Yang served three terms on the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council before his 1998 election to the Legislative Yuan. Shortly after the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, Yang formed an inter-party parliamentary group which sought to provide disaster relief to aboriginal communities. At the start of his second term, Yang expressed interest in joining the economics and energy committee. He was not offered membership, and as a result, scaled back his participation in Kuomintang caucus activities. In June 2002, Yang was formally admonished for voting against the caucus. Yang won a third term in 2005, and his forth term in 2008, despite a coalition of LGBT rights groups opposing his candidacy. He helped reestablish the aboriginal caucus within the Legislative Yuan in 2009.
