Casino in Lienchiang

Responding to the referendum result on the establishment of casino in Matsu and that the result showed 56% voted in favor against 42% who opposed in July 2012, Yang said that he welcomed the result, saying that the establishment of casino will bring change for Matsu Islands. It would improve the transportation infrastructure and could bring in more tourists.
In December 2013, he urged the Legislative Yuan to pass the Gaming Act as soon as possible so that it can bring job opportunities to Matsu residents and benefit Taiwan's economy as a whole.

However, due to the limited funding by the central government, such a proposal is not yet feasible.
