Overview of the voter outreach event.

During the meeting, voters raised several prominent issues, such as localized flooding on many roads during high tides or heavy rains, along with frequent traffic congestion.

Voters expressed their opinions at the meeting.

Voter Ngo Minh Thao Chau (Dien Hong ward) reported that a flood control project in Ho Chi Minh City has been ongoing for many years without completion, causing localized flooding to continue. Therefore, the voter requested that the city expedite the project's progress to mitigate flooding.

Sharing the same concern, voter Huynh Thi Kim Tuyet (Vuon Lai ward) said that Ho Chi Minh City has a high population density. In recent years, the city has renovated and built many roads and alleys, but traffic congestion and flooding during heavy rains are becoming increasingly common.

Voters express their opinions.

Voter Le Thi Hong Hoa (Vuon Lai Ward) requested that the local government and relevant agencies closely coordinate with the social insurance agency to review and ensure the rights of citizens, especially regarding the 100% financial support for health insurance premiums for children and people over 65 who have not yet received other benefits, as stipulated in the resolution of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council.

On behalf of the delegation, Comrade Tran Van Bay thanked the voters for their opinions, affirming that these were practical issues directly related to people's lives.
