Don't worry about rumors

- I heard that my commune is about to merge with some communes there.

Mr. Hoa said while pouring a cup of strong tea, his mysterious voice made many people curious.

- Really? I just heard it vaguely on the internet and there is no official information, teacher Minh asked, startled when she heard Mr. Hoa say that.

- There you go, one person shares with another. Many people have a complete map of the merged communes. They said their commune will merge with 5 communes, then add new names, the cadres also messed everything up.

Nam - a young man heard the story, quickly put down his glass of iced tea and said:

- I find it strange. There is a lot of information on social media, but everyone says something different. This morning, I saw someone post a “province-wide merger map”, it makes me dizzy.

Mr. Dung, a civil servant in the commune, slowly spoke up:

- The maps circulating on the internet are not official information. Whoever spread them hasn't considered carefully...

- This morning when I went to school, I saw the teachers talking excitedly. Some even said they were preparing to teach students from the neighboring commune, said Ms. Minh.

- Everything is still under review. If there is a merger, it must follow the rules and procedures. It cannot be done arbitrarily, said Mr. Dung.

Mr. Hoa nodded but still not reassured and said:

- But now, whenever our people hear about “merging”, they are scared. They lose the commune name. Officials are worried about confusion, complicated paperwork… It is not clear so many people are guessing.

Ms. Minh continued:

- That's right, I'm a teacher myself and I'm worried if I have to change schools. Information on the internet is confusing.

Mr. Dung reassured:

- When there is a clear policy, the commune leaders will direct full propaganda so that people understand and agree. It is really tiring to let rumors go ahead like this.

Nam smiled:

- I think everything is easy to spread nowadays. There is a photo collage of a commune map with the font not yet adjusted but thousands of people have shared it. It is hard to tell what is real and what is fake.

Mr. Hoa sipped his tea, his voice lowered:

- It is not advisable to post something that is not official yet and create rumors online. Both the government and the people suffer.

Mr. Dung smiled:

- Yes, if there is anything unclear, please ask me, don't be quick to believe those "commune-merged maps" that come from unknown sources. Wrong information, wrong understanding, will affect the general spirit.
