Pham Thi Minh Phi, who won the Miss Philanthropy title in the Miss Vietnam Business 2022 contest held in Da Nang, was arrested by Lam Dong police on Wednesday to be investigated for obtaining property by fraud. In October 2022, a man in Da Lat of Lam Dong called Phi, requesting her cooperation to raise capital together and do business. Phi, the general director of the Moc Hoa trade and service company, said she was negotiating to buy two land plots, spanning 1.7 ha in total, at VND22 billion. She said she had found a buyer, who was willing to buy the land plots at VND23.6 billion. This would mean profit of VND1.6 billion.

There were a number of landslides along Cam Mountain in Tinh Bien Town last month following heavy rains. Authorities determined that most of the illegal homestays, built on steep slopes with temporary structures having poor load-bearing capacity, pose safety risks in the rainy season. Illegal construction on the mountain, home to Buddhist pagodas and sacred temples, has flourished since last year. Despite authorities' warnings, these homestays have remained in operation. At the end of 2022, An Giang Province decided to let these projects exist on the condition that the current status quo be maintained and assigned Tinh Bien authorities to manage these homestays. Therefore, when Tinh Bien authorities asked them to stop operating and proposed forced dismantling, the homestay owners objected. According to the Cam Mountain Tourist Area management, the homestays serve around 7,000 visitors a day and cost VND300,000-500,000. Le Trung Hieu, director of the An Giang Investment … [Read more...] about Mekong province to remove 10 homestays built illegally on sacred mountain
