Ông Huỳnh Tiến Mạnh - Giám đốc Công an tỉnh Đồng Nai.
Mr. Huynh Tien Manh - Director of Dong Nai Provincial Police.

On the morning of October 22, Colonel Huynh Tien Manh, Director of Dong Nai Provincial Police, answered VTC News about information related to the case of Lieutenant Colonel Vo Dinh Thuong, Deputy Head of the Road and Railway Traffic Police Department, which has been attracting public attention in recent days.

- Regarding the case of Lieutenant Colonel Vo Dinh Thuong, how will Dong Nai Provincial Police handle it, sir?

I don't understand what to handle? And why do we need to handle it? Colonel Thuong did the right thing, there's nothing wrong to handle. Regarding information related to Colonel Thuong, we will post it directly on the electronic information portal of Dong Nai Provincial Police.

I will directly respond to the information that public opinion is paying attention to about Lieutenant Colonel Vo Dinh Thuong above.

- As the head of Dong Nai Provincial Police, what is your opinion on the information related to Lieutenant Colonel Thuong that the public is interested in?

In my opinion, the main thing now is to have the right direction. Now, just having information like that cannot call comrade Vo Dinh Thuong up to blame.

In the above case, many things need to be clarified. I affirm that Dong Nai Traffic Police performed their functions and duties correctly, in accordance with the law, and there was nothing wrong.

Inviting some truck drivers to work is in accordance with the law. When the press reported that Dong Nai Province Traffic Police invited people to pay in small change when passing through the BOT toll station, it was not true to the nature of the matter.

Dong Nai Province Traffic Police did not invite the driver to work because of "exchanging and returning small change" but invited him because of signs of violating and disturbing public order.

When the driver passed by, the gate was opened to let him pass, but the driver did not comply, so they invited him to go up. The traffic police invited the driver up for a reason, with evidence and basis.

Those are drivers who do not obey police orders, do not obey the law, have the gate removed and just sit there causing traffic jams.

Thượng tá Võ Đình Thường
Mr. Vo Dinh Thuong.

- You just mentioned that the drivers that the Dong Nai Provincial Traffic Police invited to work "showed signs of violating the law". Does the Traffic Police have evidence to prove this?

Dong Nai Province Traffic Police have full evidence of this. That is the camera installed at the 24/7 BOT toll station. After the Traffic Police have extracted from the camera the drivers who show signs of violations and signs of disturbing public order, they will invite them to work.

I don't understand what to handle? And why do we need to handle it? Colonel Thuong did the right thing, there's nothing wrong to handle.

That is an act of not complying with the law, not inviting "coin-changing drivers" to work as reported in the press.

- What do you think about public opinion regarding the Traffic Police of Dong Nai province in recent days?

In my opinion, the press report about the Dong Nai Province Traffic Police inviting the driver to work with the reason of "exchanging and returning small change" is dishonest and inaccurate.

Reporting like that has misled public opinion into thinking that Dong Nai Traffic Police invited drivers to work because they used small change to pay when passing through the BOT station. Reporting like that is not accurate, but we invited them to work because they showed signs and behaviors of violating the traffic police, not obeying the traffic police's orders, and disturbing public order.

On the internet and social networks, people do not know the nature of the incident, so they think that Dong Nai Traffic Police did wrong. But we are not wrong.

So I think the press needs to provide objective information, true to the nature of the matter. The wording when publishing in the newspaper must be accurate.

- Does Dong Nai Provincial Police have any plans to inform the public about this incident more clearly?

We will provide specific information about the above incident. This afternoon (October 22), everyone can access the electronic information portal of Dong Nai Provincial Police for information.

Dong Nai Provincial Police will provide specific information and I will personally answer questions directly on this page.

Thank you very much.
