Speaking with Lao Dong reporter, Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son - full-time member of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Society - acknowledged that our country is in a period of rapid growth and strong transformation, requiring the effective use of resources for sustainable development. If resources such as land, human resources and finance are wasted, it will seriously affect the competitiveness of the country, slowing down the development process.
If we continue to waste resources, it will not only create negative impacts on the environment but also increase the burden on future generations. Building a culture of preventing and combating waste is a way to ensure long-term development, minimizing losses in terms of resources and environment" - Mr. Son analyzed.
According to delegate Bui Hoai Son, waste in public asset management, public investment... is a negative manifestation that causes loss of confidence in the state management system. Therefore, the determination to prevent and combat waste helps strengthen people's trust in the state, creating an open, transparent and responsible environment.
National Assembly delegate Pham Van Hoa (Dong Thap delegation) analyzed that recently, General Secretary To Lam and Party and State leaders have mentioned many messages about fighting waste as well as assessing the current situation, pointing out the causes and proposing many solutions. This creates a huge change in awareness for the entire political system in preventing and combating waste to bring the country into a new stage of development.
According to delegate Pham Van Hoa, in the past, there were a group of cadres who took the fight against waste lightly in management activities. Many people only consider waste as an behavior that needs to be overcome, but not to the point of being serious, not considering waste as a dangerous behavior for society.
According to the delegate, some officials still believe that waste is just the ineffective management and use of State capital and assets. In fact, there is waste of opportunities and time.
Wasting opportunities and time is the greatest waste of invisible assets of human beings. When opportunities and time pass, they will never return" - delegate Hoa analyzed and said that these things need to be overcome.
