As a voter who has participated in elections for many years, Mr. Sim said that voters always consider carefully before voting.
I have studied the biographies of candidates to choose those who are truly dedicated, qualified, virtuous, and intelligent. They must be people who can represent the people and protect the rights of the people at both central and local levels," Ms. Sim shared.
Mr. Sim expressed his expectation that voters' votes will select worthy delegates to the National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels. According to him, elected delegates need to promote intelligence, contribute opinions and suggestions to build and improve the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws, contributing to the country's development.
We hope that the delegates will work with the National Assembly to plan sound policies so that the country develops more and more prosperously and civilized, people's lives are increasingly improved, and Vietnam's position is increasingly affirmed in the international arena" - Ms. Sim said.
