Tay Ninh: Verify and handle the case of organizing the golf tournament "For children to go to school" without permission and falsifying information

On the afternoon of September 6, the leader of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism (VH-TT-DL) of Tay Ninh province said that the unit is urgently inspecting, verifying and strictly handling organizations and individuals related to the organization of the unauthorized "For Children to Go to School" golf tournament, which took place the same morning at West Lakes Golf & Villas (Hau Nghia commune, Tay Ninh province).

A representative of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tay Ninh province affirmed: "The Department does not grant permission to any individual or organization to organize a golf tournament called "For Children to Go to School". Arbitrarily organizing a golf tournament to raise money without a license is an illegal act."

Previously, an invitation to the golf tournament was circulated on social networks, along with a bank account number and a call for a transfer with the content "Support the charity golf tournament 'For children to go to school'". Notably, the invitation also attached an image of a board printed with the logos of 12 press agencies, labeled " Media sponsor" and " Companion sponsor".

On the same afternoon, leaders of some press agencies such as Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, Nguoi Lao Dong and some press agencies on the above list spoke up to confirm that they would not sponsor or cooperate with the above tournament. The units also said that they would send a document requesting the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tay Ninh province and relevant agencies to verify and strictly handle acts of falsifying information.

The case is currently under further investigation.
