Vice President Annette Lu yesterday lauded first lady Wu Shu-jen's decision to donate to charity the profits from her stock and REIT investments, while the Presidential Office said it will reveal details on the earnings later this week.

'It's never too late to do good things,' Lu commented on Wu's decision, made amid mounting criticisms that the first lady should not have continued investing in the stock and mutual fund markets after placing her assets in trusts.

Lu said now that Wu has decided to sell all of her stock and REIT holdings, the row should come to a close."
