This male worker had been working in Malaysia for many years. In April 2018, he returned to Vietnam after bringing his brother-in-law, who was injured in an oil tank explosion in Malaysia, back to Vietnam. The victim was married, had a wife and two small children in his hometown (the eldest was in 7th grade, the youngest was 3 years old).

Currently, Mr. Tuyen's body is lying in state at Gerik Provincial Hospital (Gerik Hospital) waiting for relatives to complete procedures to bring him back to Vietnam. Nghe An compatriots in Malaysia are organizing visits and calling for donations to help relatives.
