Taiwan’s parliament witnessed unruly scenes and scuffle involving lawmakers as a controversial reform package was passed.
The parliament reforms give lawmakers the power to ask the military, private companies or individuals to disclose information deemed relevant by parliamentarians.
They also criminalise contempt of parliament by government officials and need the president to give regular reports to parliament and answer lawmakers' questions, which would be a first for Taiwan.
The reform, driven by the opposition, faced resistance from the ruling party which lacked the votes to prevent its passage.
The Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) Lai Ching-te won the presidency in January elections but doesn't have a majority in parliament.
Taiwan's main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), along with the Taiwan People's Party, together have the most seats.
The DPP says the reforms were forced through without proper consultation and their content either vague or an overreach of power
The KMT has denounced the DPP for trying to "paint them red," the colour of China's Communist Party.
The Opposition claims the DPP is trying to stymie efforts to investigate corruption cases.
And the drama is playing out amid broader concerns over China's attempts to influence Taiwan's politics.
And protesters who had gathered outside parliament say Taiwanese should stand in unison.
