Being a civil servant in Ho Chi Minh City cannot make you as rich as a businessman, but the salary must be enough to live on, to feel secure in your work, according to Mr. Phan Van Mai.
"The city will have policies to ensure that civil servants can make a living and work with peace of mind," said Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Phan Van Mai at the seminar "Development driving force from Resolution 98" organized by Saigon Giai Phong newspaper on the morning of August 31.
Resolution 98 was passed by the National Assembly on June 24, granting the city a number of special policies. In particular, the City People's Council was allowed to decide to allocate additional income for officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers at a level not exceeding 1.8 times the salary. At the same time, the city also issued a resolution to attract experts, scientists , and excellent students with more incentives than before.

Recently, the Department of Science and Technology has proposed that the heads of public science and technology organizations established by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee receive a salary of 60-120 million VND per month. In addition, deputy heads of public science and technology organizations receive a salary of 50-100 million VND, heads of departments receive 40-80 million VND, and deputy heads of departments receive 30-60 million VND per month.
According to Mr. Mai, the city is developing a project to build an effective and efficient public service system to serve the people and create development. In particular, in selecting civil servants and public employees, Ho Chi Minh City must have its own mechanism to attract highly skilled, dedicated workers who want to contribute to the construction and development of the city.

The city also plans to strengthen the Cadre Academy, promote existing training facilities, and cooperate with international training institutions to train staff. The method is to train by title, depending on each position and job, cadres must have the expertise and skills to meet the needs.
"The locality will organize the selection of people with good expertise and enthusiasm who want to contribute to the city," Mr. Mai said, adding that the training of cadres must be linked to meeting requirements and having a mindset ready to change.
In addition, the head of the Ho Chi Minh City government said that the city will develop a process for handling public administrative procedures, select pilot wards and then expand it to the entire city. "If done well, it will reduce the workload for the grassroots by 15-30%, helping to improve service efficiency to satisfy the people," said Mr. Mai.
