Deputy director of department apologizes to people for inappropriate statements

Ninh Binh Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung, Deputy Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, went to the residents' homes to apologize for using inappropriate forms of address at work.

Vice Chairman of Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Cao Son said on the afternoon of October 17 that after receiving feedback about Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung's inappropriate behavior towards people while performing official duties, the provincial leaders requested verification and rectification.

At a meeting with leaders of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment that morning, Mr. Dung admitted his rude behavior when dealing with Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuong, 32 years old, in Phu Son commune, Nho Quan district.

"Mr. Dung showed an open-minded attitude, realizing that his mistake was due to public work, he got angry and could not control his words," said the Vice Chairman of the Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee, adding that at the meeting, Mr. Dung asked permission to go to Ms. Thuong's house to apologize. Ninh Binh Provincial leaders requested that Mr. Dung, when going to the locality, should be accompanied by district and commune leaders so that they could witness.

Mr. Dung then went to Ms. Thuong's house but she was not home. He went to the Phu Son Commune People's Committee headquarters to write a letter of apology, hoping that the family would forgive him for his inappropriate actions. He asked the Commune Party Secretary to forward the letter to Ms. Thuong's family and promised that when the family returned, he would come to meet them in person to apologize again.

According to Mr. Son, Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung is an official under the management of the Standing Committee of the Ninh Binh Provincial Party Committee, so he was asked to write an explanation to the provincial leaders to ask for opinions on the next steps.
