Ho Chi Minh City police bust prostitution ring stealing clients’ possessions via secret tunnel

Ho Chi Minh City police on Friday arrested three members of a prostitution ring that used a secret tunnel to steal the properties of their clients in Go Vap District.

Colonel Van Tra Lao, chief of the Go Vap District Police Department, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper that the agency decided to apply criminal detention to Dinh Thi Thanh, 40, Do Cao Loc, 41, and Huynh Thi Trung, 25, after nabbing them on charges of "prostitution" and "theft of property."

The arrest came after police officers caught the ring red-handed committing their criminal act in a snap swoop at midnight on Friday in Go Vap District after a two-month investigation into the case, seizing all related exhibits.

The ambush was launched after police officers were fed information by local residents on organized prostitution and property thievery in the area.

Trung and a client, T.M.H., 29, were having sex in a house when Loc stole VND3.8 million (US$177) from H.

Police officers rushed in when Loc and Thanh were counting the cash in another room of the house.

The three confessed that Thanh began to rent the house on Tan Son Street to organize prostitution there at the beginning of this year.

She then had a secret passage built from a room of the house to the toilet and cooperated with Loc and Trung to surreptitiously steal money from their clients.

Whenever there was a client in the room, Trung would notify Loc by phone. Loc then sneaked into the room from the passage to steal the properties of the clients having sex with Trung.

Then, the stolen money would be divided among all three. In addition, Trung paid Thanh VND50,000 ($2.33) as room rent each time having a guest for VND150,000-200,000.

Weekend getaway in Ba Ria-Vung Tau
=================================================
VietNamNet Bridge – As Saigon has become hotter recently, we made a trip to Ho Tram in the southern coast province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau to enjoy sea breeze and chill out on the beach.


The tourist site, about 12km from Vung Tau City, has a peaceful white soft sand beach with lots of sports and leisure activities. There is a poplar forest contributing to the romantic view of the site. Tourists can also try some local specialties, including Moc Nui noodles at the price of VND15,000 per bowl or grilled fish costing from VND10,000 to VND15,000 per dish and grilled deo snail with onion. Guests can order live seafood to cook to their favorite taste. They can boil, steam or grill seafood at the price of VND10,000 per portion.

There is an interesting venue nearby which tourists should spend some time to discover. That is Thien That, locally known as Monkey Pagoda, located at the foot of Ky Van Mountain in Phuoc Hai Commune, Long Dat District of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.


The pagoda has simple architecture but the statue of the Buddha sitting on a lotus base looks beautiful. There is a path on a side of the pagoda leading to Ky Van Mountain which is appealing to travelers thanks to numerous stones in unique shapes like dolphin, elephant and turtle.

There is also a stone looking like a snake holding a pearl in its mouth that represents prosperity or a huge stone similar to the Buddha’s head. Tourists might see a stone that looks like a bending elephant or an ancient bo tree with its roots sticking to stones.

The pagoda is also home to around 200 monkeys that usually gather and play together in the daytime. Tourists can give banana to these monkeys but they should pay attention to their belongings as these naughty animals might snatch them.

Vietnam sex worker gets 2 years for stealing from foreigner
================================================== ======================
A Vietnam court has sentenced a woman to two years in prison for stealing assets including a luxury wristwatch, a cellphone, and cash from a foreign man after having sex with him in August last year, local media said.

Tran Thi Thuy Trang, 35, a sex worker in Ho Chi Minh City, received the sentence on charges of stealing property at her trial opened by the municipal People’s Court on Thursday.

According to the indictment, Trang often sought potential foreign customers at bars and restaurants in an area covering such streets as Bui Vien, Pham Ngu Lao, and De Tham in Pham Ngu Lao Ward in District 1.

Local residents usually call this area the “Westerner’s zone” or “backpacker area” as it has long been home to a community of foreigners who visit the city.

At 3:00 am on August 1, 2014, Robert John S., a 72-year-old man of Papua New Guinea nationality, was drinking beer at a bar on Bui Vien Street when he met Trang.

The man then asked Trang if she would agree to spend a night with him at his home in District 2 for VND2 million (US$93), and she consented.

When the two arrived at S.’s house, he handed the cash to her before they began to have sex.

S. fell asleep after sex and Trang then stole a Rolex wristwatch – which was valued at VND180 million ($8,370) – a cellphone, and VND11.5 million ($535) in cash.

Trang left the house and the man discovered the theft when he woke up the next morning, but he did not report the case to police.

She then pawned the watch for VND50 million ($2,330). She gave her mother VND39 million ($1,815) for debt repayment.

The woman spent the remaining money on personal needs.

Several days later, S. met Trang again in the “backpacker area” and asked her to return the items she had stolen from him.

Trang promised the foreigner that she would return them and gave him an indentify card that shows her photo but is in another person’s name.

She, however, broke her promise and S. reported it to police, who then began to search for the woman.

On August 16, police arrested Trang while she was drinking at a bar on Bui Vien Street, according to Ha Noi Moi (New Hanoi) newspaper.

On searching her, police found and seized many fake ID cards. Trang later admitted to stealing assets from the foreigner.

At the court yesterday, Trang told the jury that she committed the theft to get money to pay for her mother’s debts.

Considering that it was her first time committing such an offense and she had shown sincerity in making statements on her crime, the court’s jury decided to give her the above sentence.

Revealed: Ring forces girls to arouse drinkers in cafés in southern Vietnam
================================================== =================================
Based on three distress messages from a young woman to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper’s hotline on Sunday last week, a group of reporters tracked down a ring that forced young women to sexually satisfy customers in dim-light coffee shops and successfully came to the victim’s rescue on Thursday.

A woman named D., 23, who hails from the north-central province of Thanh Hoa, managed to send three SMS messages to the Tuoi Tre hotline in a desperate attempt to get rescued from a coffee shop where attendants are required to let drinkers hug, kiss, and caress them in the southern province of Binh Duong.

Based on the clues D. provided, a group of Tuoi Tre reporters instantly set off on their pursuit of the ring.

Under disguise

On Monday, one day after receiving D.’s distress messages, a female reporter called the phone number 0986012… and talked to a 37-year-old man named Vu.

Vu is the one that has posted recruitment notices on several websites, seeking good-looking girls for coffee shops and karaoke parlors.

To check on the reporter’s looks, Vu came to see her in a businessman-like manner at a café on Cu Lao Street in Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City.

The man introduced himself as the owner of a series of large coffee houses, massage and karaoke parlors in the city’s Tan Binh District.

Vu reassured the reporter that her youthful appearance would earn her at least VND40 million (US$1,864) a month, while the expenses for clothes and makeup would be covered.

On Wednesday, after picking up the reporter near the An Suong Flyover in District 12, Ho Chi Minh City, Vu took her to nearby Binh Duong instead of Tan Binh District as previously agreed.

On the way, he exposed himself as a fraudster by insisting that she sexually arouse customers and allow them to caress and kiss her while working in coffee shops.

Around 8:30 am the same day, Vu “sold” the reporter to another man named Long for VND3.5 million ($163) at a café in Di An Town in Binh Duong before leaving.

She was immediately taken by Long to Xuan Thuy Café, which had around 10 murky, damp sheds in the rear.

The sheds were packed with male clients, who were served by two scantily-clad girls.

After agreeing to pay her VND4 million ($186) each month, Long forced the Tuoi Tre reporter to sign a contract, which required her to serve clients for three months.

She was also required to learn how to arouse customers and not to venture out on streets in any circumstances.

Long also warned that the reporter would have to tempt her clients into ordering at least 30 glasses of drinks each day at VND20,000 ($1) apiece, or she would be denied salaries or bonuses.

During only the first few hours into her first day “at work,” the reporter was coerced into tending to almost 20 male clients, who came in a wide age bracket.

Chi, from the southern province of Kien Giang, who was assigned to show the reporter the way around, advised her to try her best and please customers; otherwise, she would get locked up.

Around 4:00 pm the same day, Long took the reporter to Vang Anh Café, which is some 200 meters from his own, to serve more customers.

The shop owner, who is Long’s elder sister, seized her cellphone.

The reporter was finally “bailed out” the following day by other Tuoi Tre reporters for VND3.5 million.

Long said all such cafés in the neighborhood pay brokerage fees of VND2.5 million ($117) to VND3.5 million, depending on the women’s looks.

Techniques of sourcing country girls

According to the Tuoi Tre reporters’ investigation, Vu has used different pseudonyms to look for young women with good appearance via online recruitment notices.

The notices advertise that the women’s meals and accommodation will all be covered, while they will earn monthly incomes of VND45-50 million ($2,097- 2,330).

Many women have fallen prey to such enticing ads.

The newspaper’s investigation reveals that Vu is the main “distributor” of young women to many dim-light cafés in the Dong Chieu area in Tan Dong Hiep Ward, Di An.

He “sold” women to café owners for VND3-3.5 million each, depending on their looks.

Most of the girls are coerced into sexually satisfying clients and are even beaten.

With no money to bail themselves out, these women have no choice but to come to terms with the situation.

Short on attractive female attendants, these café owners are always on the scour for pretty young girls, and place orders with such intermediaries as Vu.

Trang, the owner of Thuy Trang Café in Dong Chieu, divulged that female workers who have quit their factory jobs due to starving incomes and hard work make a good source of supplies for her coffee shop.

According to Luu, who runs Mi Sa Café in the same area, the neighborhood is home to 19 such dim-light cafés, and thus competition is relentlessly intense.

Rescue

On Thursday, Quan, the owner of Anh Thu Café in Dong Chieu, and his wife demanded VND3.5 million in return for D.’s freedom.

D. is the girl who sent distress messages to Tuoi Tre earlier.

Twelve days after being “sold” by Vu to Anh Thu Café, D. has finally returned to the safety of her home after Tuoi Tre reporters paid the money.

She said that earlier this month, she came across Vu’s recruitment ad for a karaoke parlour attendant.

Tempted by the high salary mentioned in the ad, D. bought into Vu’s words and came to meet him.

Vu then took her straight to Binh Duong and “sold” the woman to Quan.

D. said that she and four other women were forced to serve clients from 6:00 am every day until there were none left.

They were locked up in their room by night and were not allowed to go out under any circumstances.

In southern Vietnam, ‘Taiwanese islanders’ now shake head at foreign marriages
================================================== ======================

Many women on a so-called “Taiwanese island,” located off the southern Vietnamese city of Can Tho, have now given up on their dreams of turning over a new leaf by marrying foreigners and settling in their husbands’ home countries.

Over 10 years ago, a wave of women marrying foreigners hit Tan Loc Island, now known as Tan Loc Ward, which is administered by Thot Not District.

The locality has since been dubbed “Taiwanese island,” as the number of local women getting married to Taiwanese men and living in their husbands’ homeland ranked among the highest compared to others across the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam.

According to Do Trung Ngon, vice chair of the Tan Loc Ward People’s Committee, Tan Loc Island is around 32 square kilometers in area.

Prior to 1990, locals earned their living by growing sugar cane, processing it into sugar, and making honey wine.

However, the craft ended in bankruptcy due to a lack of modern technology.

The fad of marrying foreigners shaped up in this “dark age,” Ngon said.

Girls from families whose business fell apart or from a poor background and with inadequate schooling then ventured out and married Taiwanese men, who were generous enough to provide their in-laws with money to buy motorbikes and build houses.

Rumors soon spread and brought on a new trend.

The local government later shifted the locality’s economy and provided auspicious conditions to develop different crafts and farming businesses in order to create more jobs for local women.

Farmers gradually came up with the island’s new specialty produce including plums, mangos, guavas, and various kinds of vegetables.

Several craft villages of weaving, sewing, seafood processing, and fine arts came into being around the same time.

Nguyen Phuoc Thu, the owner of a two-hectare plum orchard who hires some 10 workers a day, is positive that there are plenty of seasonal jobs on the island now, as crops of rice, guavas, and peanuts keep alternating within a year.

“Labor corporations” are formed and recruit between 70 and 80 hands, who are mostly women.

Abundant, well-paid jobs have considerably improved Tan Loc women’s incomes and boosted their optimism about a bright future within reach right in their hometown.

That has also helped deter them from gambling on their life by marrying foreigners and living far away from home.

“I find it much more reassuring to marry a person from the same locality. I can also stay near my parents and relish the plain yet priceless familial and nuptial bliss,” Kim Trinh, a local woman, said.

She added that she is paid over VND100,000 (US$5) for picking plums for some hours, and joins her husband in growing vegetables on their 1,500m² land plot.

Le Thi Kieu Lam, of Tan Loc Ward’s Women Association, divulged that in the past few years, her association has offered free training and kits for embroidery, cooking, and makeup work to some hundreds of women.

Many of them now work for textile companies or earn over VND250,000 ($11.4) per day as seamstresses, Lam added.

The woman noted that over the past several years, she and other members of her association have been active in providing counseling for women who plan to marry foreigners.

“We’re neither supportive of nor against their intentions to tie the knot with foreigners. We mostly supply them with adequate information and sound advice instead and leave the final decisions to them. Fortunately, around eight out of every 10 women who receive our counseling have been put off the insecure prospect of marrying foreigners so far,” she added.

According to Thot Not District’s Women Association, as of January 2015, over 3,000 women in the district were married to foreigners. Among them, 1,680 wed Taiwanese, while 1,198 others espoused South Koreans.

Thirty-two of the 3,000 brides later returned to their hometown for good or are re-married.

“The number of women marrying foreigners tends to be on the steep decline. Previously over 100 women in the district did so per annum, and the figure dropped to only 45 last year. Over 60 percent of local women give up on their dreams of marrying foreigners each year,” said Nguyen Kim Phuong, the association’s chair.

Le Thi Hang was one of Tan Loc Island’s first women to marry a Taiwanese and moved with him to his country 17 years ago.

Hang, now 40, runs a thriving business in Taiwan and is blissfully married with a 15-year-old son.

Over the years, she has sent home quite a lot of money to help her parents pay off their debts, build their current house, and contribute to the construction of bridges and roads in their neighborhood.

Hang, who said she will move back to her hometown later, said that much of the inherent social stigma against women marrying foreigners has now been removed.

Many other Vietnamese brides are not as fortunate as Hang.

In recent years, there're relentless reportings of such women suffering brutal domestic violence and sexual abuse by their foreign husbands and in-laws, with some even losing their lives.

Swimming – A must-have skill in Vietnam
================================================== ==========

Editor’s Note: Stivi Cooke is an Australian currently based in central Vietnam.

Everyone’s aware of how dangerous the traffic in Vietnam can be. But do you know that between one and 10 children, per day, drown in Vietnam?

It’s an irony that Australians living on one of the driest continents in the world, yet surrounded by 25,000 kilometers of coastline with more than 10,000 beaches, grow up learning the dangers of water and the need to learn to swim well enough to survive in the water.

My mother and my elementary school both insisted on swimming lessons, although swimming is not a compulsory subject in Australian education anymore. Interestingly, official organizations in my country such as the Royal Life Saving Society are calling for the re-introduction of mandatory swimming lessons for all elementary school children.

Vietnam has a 3,260 kilometer-long coastline with hundreds of beaches and 41,900 kilometers of waterways, rivers, streams and so on, so it should place the need to acquire swimming skills squarely in the nation’s curriculum.

It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity to learn. Interaction with the water in Vietnam for children is a daily activity exposing them to the hazard with little knowledge of how to deal with problems in the water.

Children here cross, wade or walk or take river boats at rivers and creeks to go to school. Many children help their parents with fishery or farming activities next to water reservoirs, tanks and ponds. Heavy seasonal rain in the mountains, flash flooding and occasional urban flooding add to all these risks. Adding to the dangers is the extensive lack of safe, strong bridge crossings for the general rural population.

Water safety is mostly taught as a textbook activity but should be a compulsory rural school subject as well. With few educational resources available or money for swimming pools or paid instructors – the problem remains difficult to resolve or improve without outside assistance.

This brings me to the great work being done by Swim Vietnam, a non-governmental organization founded by Joanne Stewart in 2008. Since its inception, over 9,500 children have been taught to swim, over 150 adults trained as swimming teachers and Swim Vietnam is operating seven swim schools, according to its website. Over 20,000 primary school children have attended Swim Vietnam's classroom-based water safety education presentations.

Swim Vietnam is a shining example of what can be done instead of throwing our hands in the air and imagining the problems are too big to overcome. They also run courses for pool lifeguards, First Aid and CPR, which is an emergency technique to help people breathe and pump blood through their bodies until professional medical help can arrive.

As for the schools – got a teacher who loves swimming? Get them trained with Swim Vietnam!

I’d love to see schools develop coloring-in competitions on water safety or perform a school play based on this theme. How about “Know the water before you swim” T-shirts? It would be fantastic to have swimming safety slogans on kids’ helmets! Media! Where are you? It’s your duty to promote the cause of children being safe too! What do you think? Do you have a good idea that can help spread the lesson?

It’s my own opinion and nothing to do with Swim Vietnam – I’d like to see Vietnamese authorities take a stronger legal and patrolling role in checking and insisting on real fencing, or at least strong barriers, around water holes, retaining tanks for agriculture and industry and especially around construction sites where kids are likely to play in their free time. I know the laws are there yet I feel they should be more strictly enforced.

Parents must be diligent in monitoring and reminding their children about water safety, and adults must warn children against or forbid them from swimming in areas they suspect or know to be unsafe. We must break past the wall of not telling other people what to do, at least in the case of kids not obeying rules in traffic and in this case, playing in areas that parents, police and security guards know to be unsafe.

So speak up, help out, spread the lesson, put up a fence and check on where the kids are and what they are doing.

And above all – have a safe and happy summer swimming and having fun!

Vietnam tops Southeast Asia regarding beer, wine consumption growth
================================================== ==============================
Vietnam ranks first in Southeast Asia in terms of beer and wine consumption growth though its GDP just stands at number eight in the region, according to statistics by the Hanoi-based Health Strategy and Policy Institute.

Vietnamese spend around US$3 billion a year on beer and VND16 trillion ($744.2 million) on wine produced in plants, Vu Thi Minh Hanh, deputy head of the institute, said at a conference on the prevention of the bad effects of beer and wine on Thursday.

The spending on wine was counted on the basis of the lowest price, Hanh noted, meaning that the real number may be higher.

The amount of wine distilled at home in Vietnam is estimated to reach tens of millions of liters a year, and was excluded from the above-mentioned number.

The average consumption of beer and wine in the world has not increased in the last ten years, at around 6.2 liters (using wine as the unit) per capita per annum.

Meanwhile, each Vietnamese person drank an average of 3.8 liters of wine a year in the 2003-05 period, and 6.6 liters in 2010, according to Hanh.

It is forecast that each Vietnamese will drink an average of seven liters of wine in 2025.

Tran Thi Trang, deputy head of the legal department under the Ministry of Health, said at the meeting that alcoholic beverages are directly involved in three kinds of cancer and are indirectly associated with seven other cancers.

Trang added that Vietnam is preparing a law to prevent the ill effects of wine and beer.

Vietnam police warn of sex tourism boom as child sex abuse on the rise
================================================== ==================================
The number of child sexual abuse cases in Vietnam increased 6.3 percent in 2014 from a year earlier, police revealed Friday.

The number of such cases known to police has been on the rise over the last few years, Lieutenant Colonel Khong Ngoc Oanh, from the Ministry of Public Security, told a conference on child sexual abuse in Hanoi.

The event was held by the People’s Police Academy and Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation, a Hanoi-based charitably funded non-governmental organization which aims at improving children’s life.

An estimated 1,500 children are victims of child abuse every year, of which 80 percent suffer sexual abuse, Oanh said, citing police’s statistics.

Last year the number of criminal cases related to child sexual abuse rose 6.3 percent compared to a year earlier, he added.

Most of the perpetrators of sexual abuse cases are children’s acquaintances, neighbors, relatives, or stepfathers.

Some of them keep in touch with children through mobile phones and Internet, while the victims lack experience on how to protect themselves from exploitation.

Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation has protected around 30 boys, most of them are street children abused by perpetrators who are fortune tellers or foreign doctors visiting Vietnam.

The laws on the prevention of prostitution and criminal laws consider prostitution as sexual intercourse between men and women while there’s no regulation to protect boys over 16 years old from sexual abuse.

The lieutenant colonel noted that the problem is the first phase of a sex tourism phenomenon in Vietnam. Although there are only few cases so far, sanctions and prevention measures should be considered to avoid a boom in sex tourism, as has been noticed in some neighboring countries.

However, it is hard to deal with the perpetrators as tourists might leave the country immediately after involving in a prostitution or child sexual abuse case, he added.
