Lin Yi-shih (Chinese: 林益世; pinyin: Lín Yìshì; born 19 August 1968) is a Taiwanese politician. He was the Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan in 2012.[1][2]

Early life

Lin studied dentistry at Taipei Medical College and later graduated from National Sun Yat-sen University.[3]

Political career

Lin served as a legislator from 1999 to 2012, and as vice chairman of the Kuomintang from 2006 to 2008.

In January 2012, Lin was appointed as the Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan, making him the youngest person to ever hold the position.[4] On 27 June 2012, local media reported that Lin had accepted a bribe of NT$63 million from Chen Chi-hsiang in exchange for helping Ti Yung secure a contract from China Steel Corporation in 2010.[5] The Taipei District Court sentenced Lin to seven years and four months in prison, stripped him of civil rights for five years, and ordered him to pay a fine of NT$15.8 million.[6] Lin appealed the ruling to the Taiwan High Court, which lengthened his prison term to 13 years and six months.[7]
