>TAIPEI - TAIWAN'S Premier Chang Chun-hsiung and his cabinet resigned en masse on Thursday, less than two weeks after the governing Democratic Progressive Party's crushing defeat in parliamentary elections.
The resignation, seen as a formality, allows President Chen Shui-bian to reshuffle the cabinet with a new line-up expected to be announced on Monday, cabinet secretary-general Chen Chin-jun said.
'Premier Chang's cabinet has resigned en masse today,' he told reporters. 'The cabinet had spared no effort to fulfill its task... of improving the economy and social order.' -- AFP
