Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân at a regular monthly meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee, which began yesterday. — Photo nhandan.com.vn Viet Nam News HÀ NỘI – The National Assembly Standing Committee (NASC) disagreed with a congressional vote which would mean juveniles are fully subject to criminal charges for rape, deliberately injuring people or kidnapping. During a regular monthly meeting that began yesterday, the NASC debated amendments to the Penal Code 2015 which last year was suspended from going into effect days before implementation due to 90 “technical errors”.

Secrets of start-up success By Brian Spence Brian Spence The Vietnamese Government has set out ambitions of creating a vibrant “start-up nation” and wants to see the number of enterprises nationwide rising to one million by 2020. And the conditions for making a start-up business a success couldn’t be better than they are in Vietnam at the moment. Years of strong economic growth, a young and dynamic population and soaring levels of investment all bode extremely well alongside governmental support. The entrepreneurial spirit is remarkably strong in Vietnam, and the government is right to look to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to serve as the engine of job creation and the country’s further economic growth. For individuals, the opportunities for entrepreneurs today are great, but success is not assured, however. My years in business have taught me that there are a number of lessons all entrepreneurs need to take on board. 1. Never think you “know” your … [Read more...] about Secrets of start-up success

Nearly half of Vietnamese men—some 15 million people—are smokers. — Photo suckhoe.org.vn by Hoàng Anh Last week the Ministry of Health, allied with health experts and policymakers, called for an increase in the consumption tax on cigarettes. Their proposal was to have a flat-rate duty of VNĐ2,000 or US$.08 on a 20-pack of cigarettes. To give readers some context, the health ministry called for a 100 per cent increase over what is being proposed by a draft law on Special Consumption Tax, which is to come into effect in 2020 and sets the tax at VNĐ1,000 or US$.044. Taking into consideration other factors such as inflation, increase in income and purchasing power, the tiny tax proposed in the draft law is almost certainly doomed to fail its original purpose: to reduce the number of smokers. It is likely that by the time the draft law takes effect, a pack of cigarettes may cost less than what it does today in term of real purchasing power. The proposal for a … [Read more...] about Tobacco control is losing ground
