Yang served three terms on the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council before his 1998 election to the Legislative Yuan . Shortly after the 1999 Jiji earthquake , Yang formed a inter-party parliamentary group which sought to provide disaster relief to aboriginal communities . At the start of his second term , Yang expressed interest in joining the economics and energy committee . He was not offered membership , and as a result , scaled back his participation in Kuomintang caucus activities . In June 2002 , Yang was formally admonished for voting against the caucus . Yang won a third term in 2005 , and his forth term in 2008 , despite a coalition of LGBT rights groups opposing his candidacy . He helped reestablish the aboriginal caucus within the Legislative Yuan in 2009 . In March 2010 , Yang was named convenor of the legislature 's transportation committee alongside Chu Fong-chi
