The removal of the commune chairman adds an accent mark to the high school diploma.

Without a high school diploma, Mr. Sang borrowed someone else's diploma with the same name, added an accent mark to make it his own name, then legalized the diploma and became the chairman of the commune.

This morning, a leader of the People's Committee of Dak R'lap district (Dak Nong province) stated that the district People's Committee has just issued a decision to dismiss Mr. Mai Xuan Sang (57 years old, Deputy Secretary and Chairman of the People's Committee of Kien Thanh commune) from all his positions due to violations in using an illegal high school diploma and making dishonest declarations in his civil servant application.

According to sources, Mr. Sang did not take the high school graduation exam but used the high school diploma of someone named Mai Xuan Sang, adding an accent mark to the word Sang to make it his own name.

Mr. Sang used this illegal high school diploma to legitimize his civil servant record as a leader in Kien Thanh commune. Furthermore, his civil servant record states a 12/12 education level, while his Party membership record states an 11/12 education level.
