Removed the commune chairman from office for adding accent marks to high school diploma

Without a high school diploma, Mr. Sang borrowed another person's diploma named Sang, added an accent mark to make it his own, then legalized the diploma and became the commune chairman.

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

According to the source, Mr. Sang did not take the high school graduation exam but used the high school diploma of a person named Mai Xuan Sang and added the acute accent to the word Sang to form his own name.

Mr. Sang used this illegal high school diploma to legitimize his civil servant record as a leader of Kien Thanh commune. In addition, Mr. Sang's civil servant record stated his educational level as 12/12 and his Party record stated his educational level as 11/12.

Talking to reporters, Mr. Mai Xuan Sang explained that from 1996 to 1998, he studied high school at Dak R'lap District High School (formerly Dak Lak province), but due to family reasons, he did not graduate. In 1998, he asked an acquaintance at the Dak Lak Department of Education and Training to make him a high school diploma under the name Mai Xuan Sang.

In 1999, Mr. Sang was elected as the deputy head of village 6, Kien Thanh commune. After that, he was transferred to work as a union officer and police officer of the commune. In 2008, he was elected as Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Kien Thanh commune. From 2010 to present, Mr. Sang was elected as a member of the Executive Committee of Dak R'lap District Party Committee, Deputy Secretary and Chairman of the People's Committee of Kien Thanh commune./.
