The Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) has just continued to post 2,008 pages of statements from Vietinbank (previously 12,028 pages of statements from Vietcombank) regarding the amount of money donated to people affected by storms and floods.
According to the spokesperson of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, this is a recognition of the sympathy of people across the country sent to those who have suffered losses.
When the statements were made public, many tragic and comical stories were revealed. Along with the community's hearts, there were countless "dramas" of forgery, deception, and "backdrops" that were exposed.
When comparing with the statement of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, there are some transfer transactions of only a few hundred thousand VND, but when posted on social networks, they are edited to be 100 million VND, 500 million VND. There are even contents on behalf of the collective donation, the amount sent is only 10,000 VND, 20,000 VND...
Talking to Lao Dong reporter, Associate Professor Dr. Le Quy Duc - former Deputy Director of the Institute of Culture and Development, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics shared: "Those who take advantage of people's difficulties to polish their reputation are acting uncultured. Because they want their name to be recognized, they are aware that what they are doing is dishonest but still do it, that is something that should be condemned.
If you don't have money, there are still many ways to support. Above all, honesty is better than contributing 1 dollar but saying it's 5 or 10 dollars."
Associate Professor Dr. Le Quy Duc also emphasized: "Regarding the story of "canvas" on social networks, this is a big lesson. Many people do not gain fame but on the contrary are criticized when everything is exposed. Meanwhile, people still face many difficulties but a group of famous people take advantage of that pain to benefit themselves. That action is very sad".
Meanwhile, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Thanh Nam (graduated in Clinical Psychology from Vanderbilt University, USA), currently Vice Principal of the University of Education - Vietnam National University, Hanoi - said: "I think it is a social disease that we must find the cause and cure, otherwise it will become more and more serious.
Behind that, they are "addicted" to being in the spotlight. Of course, if they have enough talent, qualities, and values to attract the crowd, then there is no need to discuss. But in this case, they use tricks and tricks to try to attract attention, which is a deviation in perception and a lack of value.
Associate Professor Dr. Tran Thanh Nam analyzed: "With this problem, I think part of the fault lies with our community. Why do we keep being amazed by the numbers and the huge amount of money that this person has contributed, and then compare it with those who have contributed less? In fact, everyone contributes according to their ability.
Many people can donate a large amount of money, but the purpose of spending is just to shout to everyone that 'I have participated in activities, I am very charitable, I am always at the forefront of volunteer movements'... Behind that, it can also be a way for them to sell products, unable to convey value or share anything.
There is a trend in the world of 'silent rich people'. That is, people who have conditions but do not want to show it to be able to integrate with everyone. In addition, the movement of doing charity anonymously and hiding oneself is also popular.
When you do good deeds, there is no need to shout that you have done this good deed or that good deed. If we agree on such a code of conduct, then in the future, if you volunteer, just do it quietly, contributing your human and financial resources. This is like a fragrance that will automatically spread around and that is the right way to volunteer."
