New success of Vietnamese media
Hi, everery one. How are you? Let's see our success story
"Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has decided to revoke state funding for an English training course in the UK of former Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Minh Hien. The decision was made at a cabinet meeting held on 15.9.
In early September Mr Hien came to London to attend a four-month English course. After the course, he will stay in the UK for one month more to research higher education in this country.
The problem is the whole expenditure for Mr Hien’s five months in the UK comes from Project 322, including GBP2,000 for the English course, $860 of stipend per month for the first four months and around $3,000 for the last month.
This is considered the exceptional case since Project 322 was implemented in 2000 because to receive scholarship from this project, candidate must be less than 50 years old while Mr Hien is 59 now. And Project 322 only finances state officials to research foreign culture and languages at the level of master and doctor degrees, not to ‘improve foreign language skills’ like the case of Mr Hien. After six years of implementation, the project has never funded any case like this.
After media discovering Mr Hien’s trip, The PM revoke the funds allocated already to Mr Hien’s course".
I don’t know how he can live in UK for 6 months without sponsor. Hihi

It's good to see the media uncovering issues and using its influence. It's great to see that media pressure can work, especially in situations where corruption or rule-breaking is implied.
This should give us all hope that as journalists we can make a difference somehow.
Let us know if there is any follow up on this...
