Biography

Peng Pai-hsien (Chinese: 彭百顯; born 14 June 1949) is a Taiwanese politician.

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. 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. Peng was indicted in January 2001, but returned to his duties as magistrate. The Supreme Court halted appeals on the case in July 2010, ending legal proceedings against Peng.

After he retired from politics, Peng became an instructor at Kainan University. He is married to Wu Wen-wan.
