On December 6, Leon Yuriar Angela Michelle - Miss Mexico went to the police to report the loss of a handbag containing many valuable assets when attending an event at Lam Vien Square.
The police found the property and returned it to Miss Mexico.
Miss Mexico sent her thanks to the Vietnamese authorities. The local police have shown transparency and efficiency in handling the case.
But on the other hand, Nguyen Lam Thai's actions left a heavy public opinion, affecting the very beautiful image of Da Lat in the eyes of international friends.
The regrettable thing is that Nguyen Lam Thai is not unknown. Born in 2000, having participated in many projects as an actor, young director, content producer, art consultant, etc., Thai is considered a promising face of the new generation of artists.
In 2022, Nguyen Lam Thai was awarded the title of " Global Vietnamese Student Ambassador" by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism - a recognition that was not easy to achieve.
That is a very remarkable effort of a young actor at only 25 years old.
But unfortunately, the illegal act caused Nguyen Lam Thai to fall into a ravine from the top.
The audience who followed Nguyen Lam Thai's journey of striving could not hide their disappointment. From a young man who was a positive inspiration, he became a thief.
Young people once admired and loved him, considering him an example of striving spirit, working artistically to rise up, but now the "idols" have collapsed.
Recently, many artists, beauty queens, and celebrities have violated the law such as producing fake goods, deceiving customers, advertising untruthfully, and now increasingly stealing property.
Regarding the case involving actor Nguyen Lam Thai, the police are clarifying the behavior and handling it according to the provisions of the law.
No matter how serious the violation is, this young artist has lost everything.
Because a handbag or any asset, no matter how large, is not worth exchanging for honor, reputation and career future, especially for those who work in culture, who are expected by society to convey beautiful, standard and humane values.
For celebrities, the spotlight comes not only from talent, but also from ethics. A bag can be found again, but public confidence will not easily recover.
The unfortunate footrest of a young artist was once expected to be a harsh reminder of the responsibility and ethics of those working in the fields of culture, arts and entertainment.
