Lin Ling-san (Chinese: 林陵三; pinyin: Lín Língsān) was the Minister of Transportation and Communications of the Republic of China. In 2009 the Control Yuan voted to impeach Lin for illegally investing in the Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. The China Post reported that, "Because Lin [was] no longer a government official, the impeachment [would] not have any direct consequences for him, but the ruling [could] serve as a warning to incumbent officials dealing with the high-speed railway."
