Quang Binh: Controversy over how the village got the money back after Thuy Tien was released

According to preliminary information, in Ngoa Cuong Village, Canh Hoa Commune, Quang Trach, Quang Binh, 69 households received a total of 414 million dong. After that, the village staff board rallied and caused public frustration.

On the morning of October 29, Facebook, called Nguyen Thi Hang Nguyen, published an article: “My house was flooded and supported by Thuy Tien, but the people recovered. I really do not agree. I will go and ask in person.” . However, this account is no longer accessible.

This information has attracted a lot of public attention. Many people commented, shared and expressed their dissatisfaction, disagreeing with the local authorities and saying that it was an act of “good leaves to win torn leaves”, setting a bad precedent and causing offense. people.

Regarding the authenticity of the above information, Quang Binh Online newspaper is considered an agency of the Party Committee, the authorities and the people of Quang Binh province have had articles confirming the collection of money from the people.

“On October 28, 2020, singer Thuy Tien returned to Canh Hoa Commune (Quang Trach) to give gifts to people affected by the October 2020 floods to 703 households, each home of VND 6 million. Only 69 households were supported in Ngo Ngo Cuong village. Once the above numbers were given to the households, the Ngo Ngo Cuong staff board got them all back. “

However, the article explains that the collection is “to guarantee equity, harmony and preserve solidarity, adhering to the love of the people and of neighbor.” Specifically, the policy of the staff and people of Ngoa Cuong is that when there are flood relief activities, the people will enjoy them and the village will collect cash. Consequently, the amount of support from singer Thuy Tien also applies as before.

“At the end of the session, the village personnel committee will have a meeting with the people to review, balance and redistribute each household, prioritizing households with high losses,” this person wrote.

Regarding the frustration of people online, author Ky Son said: “Due to a lack of understanding and understanding of the information, Facebook account owner Nguyen Thi Hang Nguyen hastily posted the information, leading to misunderstandings , the reaction in After the village staff explained in detail at 14:30 on the same day, the owner of the Facebook account “Nguyen Thi Hang Nguyen” deleted the posting information and posted the corrections. “

However, the incident caused a wave of outrage in public opinion. Specifically, on his personal Facebook, journalist Duong Minh Phong (Cu Lang Cat) in Quang Trach, Quang Binh, who constantly reports on the situation of floods and storms, questioned:

“It is important to understand that donating money to the entire Ngoa Cuong village of Thuy Tien is a clear stake for all households in the village … Village officials agree to discuss with the consent of the people or by themselves .In the Ngoa Cuong committee by the way? … “

Mr. Minh Phong said that the explanation of “fairness” is lax because the redistribution of money from the village boards can complicate people’s hearts, not to mention that the “kindness” case of the staff board will lead to the unfair distribution of money. At the same time, the journalist also said that this is the policy of “disapproval of both the giver and the recipient.”

He explained: “Because the village has created a list before so that Thuy Tien’s team can have a base to distribute the money, now that the village has collected it means that the list is a list of lies to receive money, so which is more damaging. I need to quickly return the money to the people to maintain the gratitude of the village. “

Many people also commented that the staff raised money from people, especially the one who donated money to Thuy Tien. Facebook Nguyen Ngoc Minh wrote: “The government did not respect the power of the donation of the people, the merits of Thuy Tien and despised the public opinion. We donated to Thuy Tien because she came to the place, delivered it and Now, the cadres take the excuse retrograde politics and they get them back. That is why, from the beginning, we did not choose to raise money for the Frente Patria “.

Someone even questioned the law, saying that Thuy Tien donated money to people, it was people’s legal property. Therefore, the fact that officials only focus on the policy of recovering people’s money is an act of property infringement.

In 2016, Trung Thon Village, Ba Don Commune, Quang Binh Province, also withdrew 400,000 VND from the village after receiving 500,000 VND from an aid team from Ho Chi Minh City on the grounds that they were redistributed. to other homes. damage to the village.

However, after facing a harsh reaction from the public, the Ba Don city government ordered to return the old money to households.

Although many people strongly opposed the methods and policies of Ngoa Cuong commune officials, the issue of Thuy Tien’s delivery of VND 6 million to 10 million cash also sparked mixed reactions, saying that this. it will easily lead to “people getting the money.”

A longtime volunteer told the BBC: “The fact that Thuy Tien has raised more than 150 billion shows the strength of civil society, human love in danger. I also very much appreciate the heart of the singer when he is present. During the floods in many provinces and now I have returned to the central region just after storm No. 9. However, doing a charity to distribute money like Thuy Tien basically eases the mentality at the time, but the lasting effect does not. Although Thuy Tien said that his goal would be to rebuild the houses that collapsed due to the floods and build flood-proof houses for the people, he also stated that 150 billion, thousands of homes that need help, are like ‘salt for remove the tank ‘, so the most necessary. consider carefully “.

Previously, the fact that the singer directly gave an amount of 200 million VND to an elderly man to pay off the bank’s debt for losing money after the flood was also controversial in public opinion.

Specifically, some people think that Thuy Tien is not fair to other households and that Thuy Tien is overly trusting. Some accounts say: “Thuy Tien should have a verification step or let someone take him to the bank to pay the debt. Also, giving 200 million in cash directly to the old man is no longer dangerous.” for you “.

Others commented that she used the money for the wrong purpose: “The money that people donate to Thuy Tien is to help people get rid of hunger and cold and have a little capital to restore their life after the flood. to other people to pay the debt. “

However, most people still support the singer and think that she acts right.

Responding to public opinion, on October 29 the singer published an article confirming that the old man went to the bank to pay the debt of 200 million and said: “I think that when people have entered the impasse, one is to save “. , the second is not … A decision can change people’s lives. But what you should be, the whole town will tell you, when you have 200 million in the whole town, everyone will be happy for you. “

Before that, journalist Hoang Huong wrote on his personal Facebook about Thuy Tien’s charity work:

“In this confusing and falsely confused context, Thuy Tien can be considered (to say a little too big) as” national property “because it has the value of faith. If that value collapses, then Victims of storms and floods not only lose a “Miss Tien”, but the once injured community and “volunteer resources” will not be protected or effectively exploited. Assistance as disaster victims and vulnerable people. ”

For that reason, Ms. Hoang Huong suggested that Thuy Tien establish a team, including lawyers, communicators, accountants … to support me and connect with experts and spread the community network on the arm. To help people be fair and transparent: “As throughout the years, there is still a phenomenon of families near the axis of traffic, or that suddenly emerges in the media with a certain emotional story, immediately. it absorbs most of the funds, while others do not.

Ms. Huong also suggested that Thuy Tien can apply technology, create data maps, homes, heavily flooded areas to make the charity more comprehensive: “Volunteers will mark villages, even The relief team will search for other locations, avoid overlaps The work will be distributed more appropriately and transparently This software will be kept for future use.
