Ho Chi Minh City court sentences man to death for murdering, robbing co-worker

March 4, 2021 by tuoitrenews.vn

A man has been given capital punishment for robbing and murdering his co-worker in Ho Chi Minh City in 2018.

The municipal People’s Court on Wednesday sentenced Nguyen Hoang Phi, 24, who hails from the southern province of Binh Phuoc, to death for murder and robbery.

His accomplices, Nguyen Dien Tai and Tran Van Tu, both 21, each received an 18-year jail term for murder and robbery.

Tai and Tu were under 18 years old when they committed the offenses.

The fourth defendant, 19-year-old Vuong Minh Tuan, was condemned to one year and a half in prison for robbery but he was given a suspended sentence.

Tuan was under 16 years old when he committed the violation.

According to the indictment, Phi was an employee of a local security guard service company.

He was dispatched to Ngoc Chau Company along with Bui Van Dat and some other people from April 1, 2018.

On the evening of October 5 the same year, Phi and Dat were on duty during the same shift.

Phi then planned on robbing his co-worker and contacted Tai and Tu for their assistance.

The man waited until Dat went out for some errands and let his accomplices enter the place.

At around 9:30 pm that night, Dat was patrolling the venue when he was attacked and tied up by Tai and Tu.

The two also took the victim’s phone and VND1.5 million (US$65), while Phi was in charge of keeping watch.

As Dat screamed for help, Phi arrived and told the other two robbers to kill the victim to prevent him from reporting the case to police.

Despite Dat begging for mercy, the three strangled him to death with an electric wire.

They took Dat’s body to outlying Binh Chanh District and buried it at an empty land plot.

On November 15, 2018, Phi and Tuan stole Tai’s motorbike and sold it to Cambodia for some cash.

In the following month, Tai’s father discovered that Tuan was involved in the motorbike theft and took him to the local police station.

Tuan admitted his wrongdoing to officers, but went on to accuse Phi, Tai, and Tu of murdering and robbing Dat.

Police then launched an investigation into the case and found Dat’s body.

Heat wave strikes southern Vietnam

March 4, 2021 by vov.vn

According to reports by Le Dinh Quyet, deputy head of the forecasting department at the Southern Regional Hydrometeorology Station, the current heat wave is caused by a subtropical high-pressure system crossing the south.

Moving forward over the coming days, Quyet anticipates that the region’s UV Index will remain at a ‘very high’ level, from nine to 10.

He therefore predicts that the next five days will see the average temperature in the southern region remain around 34 to 36 degrees Celsius. In Ho Chi Minh City, average temperatures will be around 35 to 36 degrees Celsius, although the real feel may be higher, around 37 to 38 degrees Celsius.

Local residents are therefore advised to wear sun protective clothing alongside sunglasses, hats, face masks, and sunscreen when going out during the daytime. They are also encouraged to drink more water to avoid dehydration in the scorching sun.

Scientific research wholeheartedly promoted nationwide

March 3, 2021 by sggpnews.org.vn

A survey conducted by Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duc from Vietnam National University – Hanoi reveals that in 10 years from 2009, the number of Vietnamese articles published in international scientific journals increased fivefold (between 1,764 articles in 2009 to 8,234 in 2018).

After the introduction of Resolution No.29 in 2013, which promotes scientific research in different fields, only in 2 years from 2017-2018, leading universities in Vietnam possess around 10,000 research result reports announced internationally.

Statistics of Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS also display that in 2018, the quantity of annual international announcements related to research result reached nearly 10,000, 70 percent of which belongs to tertiary educational institutes. Vietnam National University – Hanoi and Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City are the two with the most articles.

Minister of Education and Training Phung Xuan Nha commented that since 2014, 23 universities in Vietnam have piloted comprehensive autonomy in operation, in accordance with Resolution No.77 by the Government. This means more organizational-scaled prizes and awards for successful research and published articles.

Following that was the implementation of the Law on Higher Education on July 1, 2019. They have become the driving force for bustling scientific research activities among tertiary educational institutes in the country, leading to an impressive breakthrough in both training and researching tasks.

As a consequence, in 2019, Vietnamese tertiary education was ranked 68/196 nations worldwide, an increase of 12 positions compared to 2018. 2019 was also the first year that 4 Vietnamese universities appeared in the list of Top-1000 Global Best Universities and 11 in the list of Top-500 Asian Best Universities.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duc voiced his opinion that there should be different policies for research groups of different fields. These policies should be sensibly adjusted to ensure the highest performance possible. He then shared that basically, research groups are divided into 3 groups of organizational, national, and international levels, with different financial needs.

Prof. Nguyen Van Tuan from New South Wales University (Australia) suggested that Vietnamese higher educational institutes need to clearly identify their research goals to fulfill the ultimate one of socio-economic growth.

Director of Vietnamese National University – Ho Chi Minh City Vu Hai Quan said that national universities must be bolder to apply breakthrough investment mechanisms to boost scientific research, with a clearer vision.

“A true scientist doesn’t conduct research for the sake of awards or prizes. Rather, he or she must treat research as a lifetime mission, a passion. No matter what the motto of a university is, its teaching staff must carry out scientific research to have a sustainable development”, stated Associate Prof. Dr. Bach Long Giang from Nguyen Tat Thanh University.
