On April 8, Mr. Bui Ngoc Lam - Chairman of the People's Committee of Mui Ne Ward, Phan Thiet City, Binh Thuan Province issued a decision to administratively sanction Tran Ngoc Minh (born in 1989, residing in Mui Ne Ward).
Mr. Minh committed an administrative violation of burying and filling common solid waste in violation of environmental protection regulations in Suoi Nuoc quarter, Mui Ne ward, Phan Thiet city.

Previously, a clip was posted on social media showing tourist area staff burying garbage right on the beach. This clip was recorded by a foreign tourist and expressed his dissatisfaction. The clip, when posted, also caused public outrage about the tour employee's actions.
From the incident's reflection, the People's Committee of Mui Ne Ward has directed the police and the professional department to verify and clarify. The employee who buried the landfill was identified as Mr. Minh and was invited to work.
At the authorities, Mr. Minh admitted his actions and confessed that on April 4, the owner of the facility allowed employees to clean up the beach area. Mr. Minh collects and scraps waste at the beach behind the facility and then conveniently digs a hole to bury the waste.
