Facebook must obey Vietnamese law: Spokesperson

April 24, 2020 by hanoitimes.vn

The Hanoitimes – Vietnam will watch how Facebook fulfills its commitment to complying with Vietnamese law.

Facebook must comply with Vietnamese law and should cooperate with the government in creating a secure and healthy environment, a spokeperson has said.

IT companies like Facebook are required to comply with Vietnamese law

As a foreign-invested company operating in Vietnam, Facebook has commited to complying with Vietnamese law and the government of Vietnam will see how its commitments are fulfilled, Deputy Spokesperson of Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ngo Toan Thang said at a press conference on April 23.

Vietnam has developed digital infrastructure to facilitate the operations of foreign companies and supports them in terms of telecommunications on the condition that they abide by Vietnam’s law and fulfil all tax obligations and social responsibilities, the official noted.

“IT companies should cooperate with the government in creating safe and healthy environment,” Thang said in answering a question by DPA on whether Facebook is required to limit access to contents that are deemed illegal in Vietnam.

On April 21, Reuters reported that Facebook’s local servers in Vietnam were taken offline early this year, slowing local traffic to a crawl until it agreed to significantly increase the censorship of “anti-state” posts for local users.

Vietnam has more than 65 million Facebook users who use this social network as the main platform for both e-commerce and expressions of political dissent, Reuters added.

Vietnam ready for Covid-19 vaccine rollout

March 4, 2021 by sggpnews.org.vn

He added that the Ministry of Health has prepared all for vaccine rollout.
Mentioning the first batch of AstraZeneca/Oxford Covid-19 vaccine including 117,600 doses, Mr. Cuong said that Vietnam basically checked its quality while the health sector is waiting for certification from its South Korean peer. He said Vietnam has been urging the South Korean peer to have result of assessment. It is expected that Vietnam will administer shots of vaccine in the end of the next week.
Head of the Center for Disease Control in the Central City of Da Nang Dr. Nguyen Tam Lam yesterday said that the center has taken 6,700 samples of frontline medical workers for testing. Test results have shown that they were all negative for SARS-CoV-2.
Yesterday evening, the National Steering Board for Covid-19 Prevention and Control said that the country recorded ten more new Covid-19 cases including five in the Northern Province of Hai Duong and five imported cases in the Mekong Delta Province of Kien Giang and the Southern Province of Binh Duong. All Covid-19 immigrants in Kien Giang and Binh Duong provinces were rushed to centralized quarantine facilities soon after they entered into Vietnam.
On the same day, Chairman of the People’s Committee in the Mekong Delta Province of An Giang Nguyen Thanh Binh said that Covid-19 development has been very complicated in Cambodia which shares borderlines with many provinces in Vietnam including An Giang; worse, Dong Thap and Kien Giang provinces have reported positive Covid-19 infection cases. Therefore, it is highly likely that An Giang will have Covid-19 cases without being alert to the pandemic.
Subsequently, the provincial People’s Committee proposed local administrators and agencies together to raise residents’ awareness of the disease. Localities must set up mobile Covid-19 fighting teams who will check strangers to the provinces and impose fine on violators of Covid-19 prevention regulations.
Chairman of the People’s Committee in An Phu District Tran Hoa Hop said that the province has discovered illegal immigrants daily since Tet holiday ( the Lunar New Year) despite competent forces’ efforts in preventing them. Meanwhile, the Steering Board for Covid-19 Prevention and Control in Kien Giang Province said that two additional people were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Both of them entered Kien Giang through the international border gate Ha Tien on February 27 and were soon brought to centralized quarantine facilities. Ha Tien Town maintained 41 stations to prevent illicit immigrants in maritime and road boundaries.
According to statistics from January 1 to March 1, Ha Tien Town has brought 2,270 people to centralized quarantine facilities; presently, 480 people are still in centralized isolation wards.

Two jailed over stolen dogs

March 3, 2021 by e.vnexpress.net

Tran Duc Ngoc received 10 months jail term and Dinh Tien Cong seven months on charges of theft, while Nguyen Van Duc received a suspended sentence for storing or buying illegally obtained property, according to Duc Tho District People’s Court.

On November 10 last year, Ngoc and Cong stole nine dogs from Ha Tinh’s Duc Tho District and the neighboring Nghe An Province’s Nam Dan District using tazers. They then sold these dogs to a restaurant in Duc Tho for VND60,000-70,000 ($2.62-3.05) per kilogram.

The culprits were seized the next day while trying to sell six live dogs weighing a combined 80 kilograms.

Cong and Ngoc spent money from selling dogs on drugs.

Vietnam consumes an estimated five million dogs a year, second only to China’s 20 million. Many dogs served at restaurants are stolen pets sold to small, unregulated abattoirs.

Dog theft is treated as a crime only when the stolen dogs are valued at more than VND2 million ($86). Vietnam has no law against trading in and consuming dog meat.

PM hails role of Vietnam Bank for Social Policies in poverty reduction

March 3, 2021 by en.nhandan.org.vn

Addressing a meeting of standing Government members on March 3 in Hanoi on a draft decision revising regulations for the settlement of debts facing risks at VBSP and a draft resolution on financial regulations for the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), the PM stressed that policies on poverty reduction, which play a major part in the Party and State’s guidelines, contributed to bringing down the rate of poor households to 2.7% from over 30% in 2000.

The Government leader also underlined that poverty reduction is a requirement for sustainable development, demonstrating Vietnam’s orientation towards socialism. Appropriate amendments and supplements are therefore needed to help VBSP fulfil tasks assigned by the Party and State.

The PM ordered VBSP to improve the quality and efficiency of its operation and pay due regard to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on people’s lives, to identify support measures.

More groups of people have been recently named as eligible for taking out loans from the bank, he said.

The revision of the regulation for the settlement of debts facing risks at VBSP is greatly needed, and standing Government members expressed a high level of consensus on the issue, voicing a hope that amendments will facilitate poverty reduction and the bank’s effective operations.

The PM required that the Ministry of Finance (MoF), the State Bank of Vietnam, and VBSP promptly submit a draft decision for consideration, paying attention to businesses and people facing risks posed by COVID-19.

PetroVietnam, meanwhile, contributed VND83 trillion (US$3.48 billion) to the State budget last year.

The PM highlighted the role and position of the oil and gas sector in the country’s development, not only in terms of economy but also in defence and security.

He called for the best conditions possible for the long-term development of the sector, in an effort to raise efficiency at PetroVietnam.

The MoF is tasked with completing the regulation in line with laws on the management of State capital at enterprises and on the oil and gas industry, as well as current accounting mechanisms, thereby ensuring PetroVietnam’s effective, safe, and sustainable development.

HCM CITY — The fifth edition in a series of chick-flick movies will be released in cinemas nationwide next week, after being delayed due to the COVID-19 resurgence earlier this year.

Gái Già Lắm Chiêu V – Những Cuộc Đời Vương Giả (Camellia Sisters – Living Like Royalty) will premiere on March 12, a month after the original date of February 12, the first lunar day of the Year of the Ox.

With the pandemic controlled in much of Viet Nam , the producer MAR6 Pictures feels ready to release the movie in cinemas safely.

“Changing the film release date was a difficult decision because it disturbed the original plan, but we want to keep the audience safe and decide to delay until the viewers can safely go to the theatre to enjoy the movie,” said director Bảo Nhân.

Gái Già Lắm Chiêu V – Những Cuộc Đời Vương Giả is the fifth edition of the chick-flick series called Gái Già Lắm Chiêu (The Tricky Ladies) that was launched in 2016 by young directors Bảo Nhân and Nam Cito.

The third edition on the relationship between a woman and her mother-in-law, played by Lê Khanh and Lan Ngọc, recorded revenue of VND165 billion (US$7 million) and is one of the top 10 highest-grossing Vietnamese films of all time.

The fifth edition features late actor Hoàng Dũng in the role of wealthy Vĩnh Nghị. The film was the last he took part in before dying on February 14 from blood cancer.

Director Bảo Nhân said during the filming period, Dũng endured pain to complete the scenes. His first segment in the film was on Thiên An Hill, requiring Hoàng Dũng to ride a bicycle for many hours at night. After the filming was done, he gasped due to exhaustion.

The main filming location was a white tea garden within an ancient villa and cost more than VND2 billion ($87,000) to set up the European-style garden.

The movie was also filmed in many famous destinations in Huế in an effort to promote the beauty of local culture, tourism as well as the history of the city.

Other well-known artists also contributed to the movie, including famous designer Đỗ Mạnh Cường who worked as the fashion director and singer Bùi Lan Hương who performed the soundtrack.

Camellia Sisters – Living Like Royalty focuses on the three Lý sisters belonging to the Huế aristocracy. Three famous actresses, Lê Khanh, Hồng Vân and Kaity Nguyễn, play the three sisters.

People’s Artist Lê Khanh plays Lý Lệ Hà – the scheming eldest sister in the family with a long history of collecting antiques. To look different from her role as the mother-in-law Thái Tuyết Mai in the third edition, she cut her long hair that she had grown for more than 20 years.

People’s Artist Hồng Vân, as the second eldest sister Lý Lệ Hồng is talkative, seemingly carefree but knows a lot of family secrets. She also starred in the third edition.

Kaity Nguyễn, after the big success of Tiệc Trăng Máu (Blood Moon Party) is the youngest sister, Lý Linh.

With such a lineup of big names on the silver screen, the movie is anticipated to be a bit hit and possibly surpass the success of the third edition. — VNS
