In 1985, Huang earned a master's degree in engineering management from the Illinois Institute of Technology.[1][2][3]

Career edit

Huang was employed by the Taiwan Provincial Government as an engineer and consultant, and served on the second convocation of the National Assembly. He was also a member of Taichung's urban development association, as well as the agricultural and hydraulic affairs association, and an evaluator for the Construction and Planning Agency, a division of the Ministry of the Interior. He held lectureships at Tunghai University and the China College of Engineering and Commerce.[1][2][3]

In 1998, Huang was elected to the Legislative Yuan as a Kuomintang representative of Taichung City,[1][2] and also served the Legislative Yuan's Sci-tech and Information Committee as member and convenor.[2][4] In September 2001, he published the results of a review into the use of hands-free mobile phone accessories, such as earpieces.[5] Huang lost reelection in December 2001.[2][3][6] That same year, he had also participated in primaries to determine the Kuomintang's candidate for the Taichung mayoralty, a position that would be contested during the local elections.[7]

During a press conference on 2 January 2002, Huang claimed that he had been kidnapped between 27 and 31 December 2001, and that his captors drugged, restrained, and stole NT$800,000 from him.[2][8] Tsai Hsiang-chun led the investigation into the case,[9] which involved escort Chan Hui-hua, businessman Yu Hung-tsan, and later, Chan's brother Chan Fu-shun.[3][6] Chan Hui-hua claimed that Huang hired her and other women for a sadomasochistic sex party at the Grand Hyatt Taipei, and Chan Fu-shun stated that he had watched Huang take marijuana and MDMA.[8] Chan Hui-hua and Yu Hung-tsan were indicted in April 2001,[10] and Huang made his first testimony to the Taipei District Court that June.[11] Legal proceedings lasted five years, and ended with the Supreme Court sentencing Chan Hui-hua to seven years and six months imprisonment and Yu Hung-tsan to seven years imprisonment.[12]
