The above information was given by Mr. Pham Van Thieu - Chairman of Bac Lieu Provincial People's Committee at the press conference providing periodic information to the press for the third quarter of 2024 held on October 8.
According to the Chairman of Bac Lieu province, the overseas tours and vacations of managers and employees of Bac Lieu Lottery One Member Co., Ltd. (Bac Lieu Lottery Company) are not appropriate when many people are still poor and their lives are still difficult.
What Mr. Pham Van Thieu said is very convincing, we should not travel abroad, but organize domestic tours for workers. This choice is suitable for the organizing unit as well as the local reality.
Lottery companies that do business effectively and have funds to organize tours for their employees are highly encouraged, but traveling to Europe or America is very expensive and needs to be considered.
More worth considering is to take the "learning experience" trip of company staff, combined with staff from provincial and municipal agencies traveling abroad. It's very unsightly.
But unfortunately, there are still many lottery companies that organize study tours, with local officials on the list.
Previously, on February 28, 2024, Bac Lieu Lottery Company submitted a document "requesting permission for managers and employees to go on vacation in 2024". And, the resolute rejection of Bac Lieu Chairman Pham Van Thieu in the reply document dated March 8, 2024 may not have satisfied the members on the list preparing to go on vacation, but it was very popular with the people, especially the street lottery ticket vendors.
Lottery ticket vendors have a very difficult life, suffer a lot, and suffer many disadvantages. The commission they receive is too low, but the problem has not been considered and resolved to have a more suitable commission rate.
The majority of people in the Mekong Delta provinces are still poor, life is still difficult, as Mr. Pham Van Thieu said, "there are still many poor households that need help from the government and the business community". If so, how can state-owned company leaders, officials and civil servants flock to "study" abroad?
These past few days, when public opinion was discussing the story of lottery companies in some provinces of the Mekong Delta organizing delegations of officials to visit and learn from experience and expertise abroad, the story of Bac Lieu Chairman Pham Van Thieu is worth "referring to and learning from".
