Traffic Jam in Hochiminh City


What a pity for this friendly city where I've been living, studying and working for several years! a better place more than be in hometown, but sorry for not very good place to live in a natural environment of life's quality. One thing we can recognize and value that free immigration of people from places to the city would have helped make it more prosperous in economy, to build a multi-culture city and famous in Vietnam. We all know we hate frequent traffic jam (congestion), let's think of community health, waste time and fuels, slow down the commerces, the trading and affecting economic growth in general.
It's not been changed and improved reasonably though we heard and learnt a lot about this topic via daily activities, newspapers, TV, and leaders' s public forum... We'll be glad that city's admin recently listened to public opinions, surveyed and brought it on national agenda. However, we can base on natural rule of life to solve a social problem, the natural rules are population in growth, people's traffic demands, non-stop commerces. Let's think first about the way whether we had designed master plan for city in civil infra-structures for a long period of 10 ten years, 20 or 50? Unfortunately till present, everything seems to be overloaded, so what should we do now, and how? We can't sit in there and nothing to do from time to time. While we'll wait for new roads, larger street, metro bridges and new design in the future, think if we can rearrange locations of current traffic routes from east to west and from south to north of city for big vehicles, trucks, passenger cars... check if we have enough proper destination stations surrouding city. Let's find and create for more better roads for big vehicles, trucks, buses to enter their habours, their stations that they don't have to go by small streets inner city. Because goods and commodities on transportations are demands in commerce, we should set free time of schedule for them in the future to keep it rolling.
Schools, hospitals, markets... are always necessary, but sorry, many of them were often issued license of their business at the wrong places on small size streets in this city, traffic congestion sometimes happened at rush hours. Water sewage system didn't work well, may cause innundation under the rainy seasons and result in traffic jam too. We need more traffic security officers/workers on their duty in the "street list" at rush hours would be helpful. We'll need serious cooperation from people who live here and all traffic's users in this friendly city. This means we respect each other in every ways we think it's really bad or something good for. TV Program, public news networks should also continue helping to post their cooperative informations about this to all civilians. The city administration needs to create some more really vicinity sub-cities to attract more people who wish living there, they might also find a cheap standard of living, green environment, schools, hospitals, market... not bad civil bridge and roads...Let's rescue this friendly city away from its overloading.

Still Trusting in ODA Program from Japan and France - Dec 15

Vietnam's sponsors and people found that Pr.Minister Dung and his cabinet have done recently good job in anti-corruptions program. Thanks them! Congrats on you. Things you do are to use that fund significantly as its mean (OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE). Continue assistances in the poor rural, build infra-structures: roads, bridges, telecommunication networks, electricity, water supply, schools, hospitals... Please do not forget agricultural facilities and services for farmers who deserve to be helped even upon damage or loss happens in their crops, harvests...Follow-up frequently construction sites, projects, make reports transparently to sponsors and people. Good luck! Good job to you.

Further Congratulation on PNTR for VTNM&US

Bilateral long patience has brought fruitful potentialities in economy from now on. The successful diplomatic policies in friendly negotiations, previous reciprocal visits of willing country leaders, efforts of advance view teams, stable spans of bridge between consulates and embassies, plus deserved aspirations from businessmen, commercial community, the truly healing of Veterans, civilians at large of the two countries and APEC friends, all finally helped U.S. Congress passing the Permanent Normalization Trade Relation. (Dec 9, 2006)
In the near future, you will see many kind of goods in better quality, more favorite products from both sides that are diversified and plentiful. Fairplay tariff for im-exporters would be applied appropriately. Hopefully, new businessmen and investors also needs to learn, to understand and to listen to experienced businessmen, economists who have been doing business with the U.S. partners in order to get common profits without sadness in biz. Vietnam should also continue attracting investment, continue to simplify admin procedures for them, invest more qualified workforces by well-trained methods, widen infra-structures, facilitate spacious environment for them...so they will feel secure about steadfast investment. And hopefully also, generous eco-investors might find the poor rural areas of Vietnam to aid creating more jobs in contribution of economic development at the right necessary places. Thank you.

Vietnam Welcomed Again Former U.S. President Bill Clinton - Dec 5

Such a warmly welcome from the Capital Hanoi's people was great. All found he's a great man who has been continuing to devote his life in spite of retirement in supporting and helping enthusiastically and quietly for people and countries in their poverty and diseases around the world. He's glad and greet everyone there, then he looked sad and emotional to hear about unhappiness and hardships of HIV/AIDS patients. W.H.O should also find and attract more talented medical scientists who would early invent any quick and effective treatment medicines for humankind.

Typhoon 'Durian' scared people there.

Like its thorns, this Durian had harmed a lot of victims in Philippines before it rolled over to a small coastal town where I was born in Phanrang of NinhThuan province and vicinities. Luckily it licked slightly there yesterday evening and moved complicatedly to the Southern West.What a pity for Phuqui Island of BinhThuan province in their damages. Ealier in that afternoon, having searched more an e-map of typhoon warning on U.S.Navy websites, I also believed it could happen. I told some of my colleagues that I crossed my fingers for lucks to them if leaders there in the region would know how to do somethings for villagers, for regional people before it came. And finally they did things at least enthusiasticaly ok that I saw them on the live VTV1 national channel in the evening - (abt. 19:10 local time Dec 4, 2006). In NinhThuan province, they co-ordinated local tele-communication networks to communicate with fishermen' ships/boats for their safe anchorages. Military forces were sent to help villagers to evacuate temporarily away the dangerous areas. Foods and medicines were also prepared readily. It'd rather be so than nothing!
Fortunately next day, storm faded-out before my luncheon here in HoChiMinh city. Thanks to the modern typhoon warning and tracking systems from places, man could do somethings to avoid/limit damages in lives and properties. However, subjectivism in the solved situation is the don't.

Welcome POTUS and APEC's members To Vietnam - Nov2006


I'm glad Vietnam today has been so honored to welcome U.S. President, SecState Dr.Rice and APEC eco-friends. I hope one day, the rich and the poor can be relatively balanced. Some gov leaders of current Vietnam and their offsprings are also being open from their minds and becomimg more friendly to the world community friends. That's good for people and country. Continuing maintenance for developments are necessary. Congrat those with its WTO entry.
