American tourist found dead in Saigon hotel

By VnExpress January 4, 2017 | 10:20 am GMT+7

Hotel staff found the body of Craig Loren Barber, 55, in a state of decay.

A tourist from U.S. was found dead in a hotel room on Pham Ngu Lao Street in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1 on Tuesday afternoon.

The body of Craig Loren Barber, 55, was first discovered by hotel staff in a state of decay, news site Phap Luat Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh (Ho Chi Minh City Law) reported late Tuesday.

Barber reportedly began renting the room (which he occupied alone) in the city’s backpacker area starting in mid-December.

The cause of death remains under investigation.

Pham Ngu Lao is part of the Pho Tay, which means the "foreigner's street" in Vietnamese, an area known for a density of bars, hotels, hostels, restaurants and travel centers favored by budget travelers.

Vietnamese jailed for promising fake jobs in Taiwan, Netherlands

By Hai Binh January 4, 2017 | 11:09 am GMT+7

She cheated 100 jobseekers from the impoverished central region out of more than $80,000.

A court in the central province of Nghe An sentenced a woman to 12 years in jail on Tuesday for swindling over 100 poor job-seekers into paying her $82,700 for non-existent work in Taiwan and the Netherlands.

Hoang Thi Dao, 52, started the scheme after she spent four years working in Taiwan, according to the indictment.

In June 2012, she began telling prospective migrants about vacancies at a food company in Taipei and asked interested candidates to pay her VND5 million ($220) for training and health examinations.

She also advertised more than 50 vacancies at a dairy farm in the Netherlands, promising wages of at least $1,000 a month. Those who wanted the job had to pay her $500 -- a “labor export fee.” Vietnam's average annual income was around $2,200 last year, according to the General Statistics Office.

Although Dao lacked a labor export license, nearly 100 people in Nghe An and neighboring Ha Tinh Province trusted her sales pitch and the small receipts she gave each of them.

She also took all the candidates to Hanoi for health examinations, before asking each person for another $1,300 to cover airline tickets and visa fees.

The victims contacted police after waiting for their flights for months. By the time investigators caught up to her, Dao had sold her house, left the province and could not be reached by phone.

Police arrested Dao in early 2015 in the Central Highlands and ordered her to return VND1.88 billion ($82,700) to her victims.

Vietnamese official labor exporters sent 98,410 workers overseas in the first ten months of 2016, according to reports from the companies. But there are also a large number of those working abroad illegally.

Many of the overseas workers are from the impoverished central region where harsh weather conditions tolerate few business options.

Official government reports show at least a million still live in hunger and roughly 10 percent of the population remains below the poverty line, an average annual income of less than $374.

Did you feel it? New undersea cable boosts Vietnam's internet speed

By Dinh Nam January 3, 2017 | 06:45 pm GMT+7

The $450-million system is much faster than the current unreliable Asia America Gateway.

A new undersea cable connecting Vietnam with neighbors in the Asia-Pacific region was officially put to use Tuesday, promising internet speed twice as fast.

The Asia Pacific Gateway Submarine Cable linking Japan with Hong Kong, Mainland China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam has been completed and gone online after four years of construction.

NEC, a Japanese IT corporation, finished construction of the cable last November.

The cable, with a total length of around 10,900 kilometers, will go through Vietnam’s central city of Da Nang.

It features 100 Gigabit per second (Gbps) optical transmission capabilities that deliver a capacity of more than 54 Tbps.

For now, telecom operators will partly take advantage of the new system by first adding a 4 Tbps capacity, before gradually tapping its full speed.

But that is still faster than the 2.88 Tbps speed of the Asia America Gateway (AAG), the notorious rupture-prone system that connects Vietnam and the U.S.



Vietnam’s two biggest telecom companies Viettel and the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group are among the 13 investors of the new cable.

The military-run Viettel, which funded more than half of the $450-million cable, has also invested in another 25,000-kilometer cable connecting Vietnam with Europe. The Asia Africa Euro 1 is scheduled to go into operation this year.

Vietnamese service providers have been trying to ease their reliance on the AAG. The 20,000-kilometer system, installed in 2009, has broken or been shut down for maintenance many times since 2011.

In 2015, the cable ruptured three times while in 2014, it went down twice.

Last year local users also bemoaned slow connection to international services when the cable broke down in August and then went through a maintenance period in September.

Nearly 49 million people, more than half of Vietnam’s population of 90 million, are online.

Police urge victims of Saigon gas station short-changers to come forward

TUOI TRE NEWS
UPDATED : 01/04/2017 11:43 GMT + 7

Three Ho Chi Minh City gas station employees who short-changed numerous drivers with a magic-like trick have been sacked, but police have said they need official complaints in order to initiate legal proceedings.

Nguyen Dac Hoang Long and Tran Phuoc, who both worked at Filling Station No.1 at 220 National Highway 13 in Binh Thanh District, and Ha Van Thanh, from the 27-7 pump station at 624 Kha Van Can Street in Thu Duc District, were all fired, their employers confirmed on Tuesday.

The decisions came after managers of the two filling stations watched videos filmed by undercover Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reporters, showing the dishonest pump attendants cheating their customers by using ‘magical hands.’

Officials slam Uber, Grab for choking up Saigon streets

By VnExpress January 4, 2017 | 03:15 pm GMT+7



15,300 cars have joined the popular ride-hailing services since their debut in 2014, aggravating Saigon's traffic woes.
The increasing popularity of ride-hailing services in Ho Chi Minh City is thwarting the city’s efforts to limit vehicles on its already overstrained road network, officials have said.

The number of cars registered for Grab and Uber, which both arrived in the city in 2014, have topped 15,300, according to local media reports, which cited new data released by the transport department at a recent conference.

There is no further data breakdown, which means it is unclear how many of those cars are exclusively serving Grab and Uber passengers and thus it is difficult to quantify the impacts of these services on Saigon streets.

But officials said the number is high, considering that the city has been restricting the total number of taxis at roughly 11,000 over the past five years.

Nguyen Thanh Phong, the city chairman, was quoted as saying that the city has successfully controlled the taxi boom, but it is having trouble with the ride-hailing apps.

By the end of November 2016, vehicles in the city increased nearly 6 percent from a year ago to 7.86 million, including 615,400 cars. There were also more than one million motorbikes brought by migrants.

Last year, the city had up to 250 new cars every day.

The growing army of vehicles has taken a toll on traffic. Public buses in December reported that the average travel speed in the city slowed down to only 18 kilometers per hour.

Ngo Hai Duong, head of the Road Infrastructure Development Management Division at the transport department, said the city has 4,155 kilometers of road, but only less than half of the city streets are wide enough for cars and buses.

Work-life balance makes Vietnam one of the best places for expats: HSBC

By VnExpress January 4, 2017 | 04:37 pm GMT+7

The country ranks above Japan and fourth in Asia among the top destinations for foreigners to live and work.
Thinking of a career overseas? Move to Vietnam.

The country has been ranked among the best destinations for a successful expat career thanks to good work-life balance and employment benefits, according to HSBC.

The London-based bank's Expat Explorer survey questioned 26,871 expats from more than 100 countries and territories between March and May 2016 based over their satisfaction with their careers, personal finance as well as economic, culture and life aspects in the host country.

Key findings of the survey were first announced last year, placing Vietnam at 19th overall, right above Japan. On Wednesday HSBC released specific data highlighting career aspects.

Compared to Japan, for instance, Vietnam offers much better work-life balance and higher disposable income, even though job security is an issue for some.

In Asia, it only came after Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with very high satisfaction about savings, disposable income, culture and integration. The country’s healthcare, expectedly, received the lowest score – 18 percent.

In Vietnam, 52 percent of the respondents said they are more fulfilled at work since they made the move, 57 percent said they experience better work-life balance than in their home country and 77 percent said they receive benefit packages.

Yet the career in Vietnam does not seem to make big promises in the long term.

Only 27 percent of the expats questioned said job security is better than at home, while only 35 percent agreed that they have a chance to acquire new skills in Vietnam or a good chance to progress their career.

Now in its ninth year, Expat Explorer is the longest running surveys of expats. Singapore takes the top spot, for the second year in a row, followed by New Zealand and Canada.



The overall rankings put Vietnam ahead of many other Asian destinations.
