About Peng Pai-hsien

Peng Pai-hsien (; born 14 June 1949) is a Taiwanese politician.

Political career He served in the Legislative Yuan from 1990 to 1997 as a member of the Democratic Progressive Party. Peng was a member of the DPP's Justice Alliance faction until he left the party in 1997 to run for the Nantou County magistracy as an independent. Peng left the legislature on 20 December 1997 to take office as Nantou County magistrate. Nantou County was hit hard by the 1999 Jiji earthquake, and in November 2000, Peng was charged with corruption while the Nantou District Prosecutors' Office investigated financial improprieties in the aftermath of the rescue effort.

After he left the Nantou County magistracy, Peng became an instructor at Kainan University. He is married to Wu Wen-wan.
