Yu submitted his resignation on 19 March 2004 from his ministerial position to take the responsibility over the 3-19 shooting incident on Chen Shui-bian in Tainan City but was asked by Premier Yu Shyi-kun to stay. He resubmitted his resignation again on 4 April 2004 after the demonstration made by Pan-Blue Coalition over the result of the 2004 presidential election had come under control.{{cite news|title=Pingtung County chief to take over Interior Ministry|url=http://www.chinapost.com.tw/news/2004/04/06/47547/Pingtung-County.htm|access-date=2015-10-31|work=The China Post|date=2004-04-06}}
