The Quang Ngai Department of Home Affairs has found it difficult to claim back VND10 billion from four individuals who studied abroad with provincial funding but didn’t return to work for provincial agencies as they had previously committed. The director of the Department, Doan Dung, on April 28 told VietNamNet that the department twice sent documents to the four individuals, urging them to reimburse the funding because they did not return to the province to work in state agencies. The individuals were sent overseas for a master’s degree program with the state’s money after they promised that they would return to Vietnam and take the jobs assigned to them. However, they broke their commitments. Dung said if the four individuals don’t pay back the money as requested by the end of the year, the department will advise the provincial people’s committee to take the cases to court.

REAL DEAL: Carlo Ancelotti who this week left Everton to manage Real Madrid. AFP Photo Paul Kennedy There’s an expression I’ve heard a lot that is often, if not always, directed at me. It usually comes in hushed tones after I introduce a girlfriend or a date to someone I know. “He’s punching above his weight,” I can hear being muttered. The origins of this expression need no explaining. They are pretty obvious. But having never stepped foot in a boxing ring in anger, the phrase when uttered about me is simply pointing out the gulf in class between an attractive woman and the overweight, work-obsessed, drinks and smokes too much, burnt-out journalist she is with. I’m not the best of catches. However considering my skin would make that of a rhino look virtually translucent, I don’t particularly lose any sleep over the comment.
