The working session of the Ho Chi Minh City National Assembly Delegation Group with voters in District 2 lasted until nearly 9:00 p.m. on May 9.
Project planning boundaries;
People fainted when talking about the frustration of having their real estate confiscated illegally.
After the final voters’ presentation, Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Hung (Chairman of District 2 People’s Committee) said he did not expect such a large number of voters to come, otherwise it would have been held in a more spacious and convenient place for the people.
Mr. Hung said that among those affected by the Thu Thiem New Urban Area project, some filed complaints, but there were also those who filed complaints at higher levels.
As soon as the Chairman of District 2 finished speaking, the whole hall echoed: `The People’s Committee of District 2 is the unit that recovers people’s land without determining the boundaries and what type of recovery.`
City People’s Council Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Quyet Tam had to repeatedly ask voters to calm down before the hall became quiet again.
`You asked me if I was worried. Please tell me I was very sad. Hearing you say that, it was very painful. The government solved a big problem and you still haven’t agreed and complained, which means you still believe in us.
Ms. Quyet Tam talked to voters.
Report people’s frustrations with Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan
Also according to Ms. Tam, immediately after the meeting, the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee will direct the City People’s Committee to review all legal issues of the Thu Thiem Urban Area project to have a clear report for the people.
`Before going to contact people, I consulted with the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee. After a series of information about the map that the press mentioned, I’m sure you will mention a lot. I said I would listen and report everything.
Ms. Quyet Tam also asked District 2 to meet with the people again after the meeting to hear conflicting opinions about the legal basis for project implementation.
The Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council is worried about the people of Thu Thiem
The National Assembly delegation noted 4 pressing issues that people were concerned about.
Firstly, what is the legal basis for the city to organize the recovery of people’s land and must answer publicly and transparently.
Second, the policies and basis for counting, documenting, compensation… are not in accordance with the law;
Third, the people requested the National Assembly delegation to report to the Central Government and the National Assembly for a comprehensive inspection of the Thu Thiem Urban Area project.
Fourth, the 4 roads in Thu Thiem Urban Area are priced very high, nearly 12,000 billion VND, and the city must pay with a very valuable land fund (BT Contract)… so please clarify.
Mr. Phan Nguyen Nhu Khue (Deputy Head of the City’s National Assembly Delegation) looked at the Thu Thiem planning map, which did not include land belonging to the people but was still revoked.
People no longer trust the Ho Chi Minh City government
As one of the people who has participated in the lawsuit for many years, Mr. Doan Van Phuong is frank, if the authorities make violations in Thu Thiem, it is definitely corruption and group interests.
`Honestly, we no longer trust any officials in District 2, in the city. Money has caused the previous planning to be completely destroyed, deformed into a semi-subdivided lot area,` said Mr.
Voter Tran Thi My (77 years old, living in An Khanh ward) said that for the past 13 years she has been complaining because the government pushed the resettlement area away from the center.
When the organizers of the voter contact meeting reminded her to keep her presentation brief and spend time with other people, Ms. My said in a miserable voice: `Let me speak, I’m about to die, I need to speak.`
And Mr. Nguyen Tien Thinh (Thanh My Loi ward) said that in 2012 his family received a decision to recover land.
In addition, after more than 15 years of the project starting, people have not seen squares, amusement parks, hospitals, schools… but only seen high-rise buildings and villas.
`I also ask the city to clarify the project of 4 roads less than 12 km but costing 12,000 billion VND in Thu Thiem New Urban Area. People want to know clearly because the land paid to investors is public land,
4 main roads in Thu Thiem Urban Area are deployed in the form of BT (build – transfer), including: Arc boulevard (6 lanes), Central lakeside road (4 lanes),
The total length of the routes is nearly 12 km, including 10 bridges, including 2 viaducts.
Located on the East bank of the Saigon River, opposite District 1, the 657-hectare Thu Thiem Urban Area is expected to be the most beautiful in Southeast Asia.
Currently, Thu Thiem Urban Area has cleared more than 99% of the land.
