On the afternoon of September 13, speaking with Lao Dong reporter, businessman Nguyen Hoa Binh (Shark Binh) confirmed that he and his family donated 500 million VND through the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front at 9:12 p.m. on September 10.
On the morning of September 11, a representative of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front contacted Nguyen Hoa Binh's family to thank them and invited them to receive a letter of thanks at 8:30 a.m. on September 12.
According to Shark Binh, bank transactions of 500 million VND or more must be transferred normally and processed during business hours, so the next day (September 11) the transaction will be recorded.
Meanwhile, the list of statistics on donations through Vietcombank accounts of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front recorded transactions from September 1 to September 10.
Previously, when the statement list was published, some social media users said they could not find any transactions of Shark Binh's family. This information caused a stir because a series of celebrities and TikTokers were accused of falsely declaring the amount of money donated to people to overcome the consequences of storm No. 3.
At noon on September 13, actress Phuong Oanh shared photos of Shark Binh receiving a thank you letter from the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.
Sharing with Lao Dong reporter, Shark Binh said: "I think that publicizing and making donations transparent is necessary, in the context that charitable activities are a sensitive issue.
My family's contribution is insignificant compared to the heavy losses that our fellow countrymen in the North are suffering. At a time when people in flood-hit areas are still facing many difficulties, I hope we can spread good things and multiply kindness."
The businessman said that previously, his family and the group had regularly conducted charity activities. However, this time, some inaccurate speculations appeared, so Shark Binh and his family had to share some more information and images to avoid unnecessary noise.
