Irregularities force Vietnamese laborers to bear brunt of working abroad

According to the Government Inspectorate, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs has yet to pay due attention to the legitimate rights and interests of people employed abroad and come up with suitable measures to help reduce worker costs. "For a long period of time, the ministry has not been able to manage or control official and brokerage fees of businesses running the service, which had caused workers (who in fact are all poor) to pay a large amount of money even when the policy of receiving markets (Japan and Taiwan) does not require them to pay." The conclusion of the inspectorate was announced at a Thursday meeting by its deputy head Tran Ngoc Liem. Government inspectors had looked into what had been achieved and what had been done wrong in sending workers abroad under contracts from six provinces in northern and central regions, including Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Nghe An and Ha Tinh, in the 2013-2018 period. They pointed out fee regulations applied to Vietnamese workers in Japan are not in line with Japanese policies or the agreement signed between the two countries, which had affected laborers. Due to the loose management of the ministry’s Overseas Labor Management Department, workers had been made to pay a "very high fee of $7,000-8,000 per month," the inspectorate stated. In many cases, the high fee had forced many Vietnamese to remain abroad after their contracts and visas had expired to recover their costs, it noted. As for the six provinces, the inspectors said authorities there had also failed to fulfill their duties, while companies providing "study abroad" consultancies in fact feeded the foreign labor market. Inspectors also discovered laborers that had voluntarily, or through a broker, gone abroad to "travel, visit relatives or get married", then stayed behind to work illegally. In most cases, destinations include Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Angola and Eastern European countries. In 2019, as …

Vietnamese movie wins Special Jury Award at 71st Berlinale

A scene of "Vi" (Source: cineuropa.org) Berlin (VNA) – Vietnamese movie “Vi” (Taste) by director Le Bao has surpassed 11 other films to win the Special Jury Award in Encounters category - a competitive section devoted to new cinematic vision - at the 71st Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale). “Vi” is the only Vietnamese movie to join the festival, which takes place in two stages, from March 1 to 5 and from June 9 to 20, 2021. “Vi” is about a Nigerian football player playing in the Vietnamese football league. After he breaks his leg, he is forced to leave the team and find a job in a sex parlour to provide for his wife and son back home. Bao got the idea for the film years ago based on his high-school memories. At that time, he saw black men on buses while going to school. Bao was obsessed by these men who seemed to have overcome some significant challenges. First-time filmmaker Bao has composed a delicate, sensory meditation that conjures up many a thought in the viewer’s mind. In “Vi” the actors are amateurs, including the call girls. Earlier, the film won the “Most Potential Project” award at the Singapore International Film Festival in 2020. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Berlinale has developed a new festival format for its 71st edition and is delighted to thus be able to hold the festival for both the industry and the general public. From June 9-20, the Summer Special will give the general public the opportunity to see the majority of the 2021 selected films in Berlin cinemas in the presence of filmmakers./. VNA …
