Shouting and binding
(Baonghean.vn) - In the 4.0 era, a disciplined society must have a compatible and strong legal system. No need to shout too much. Enforce it resolutely, immediately and always - as the Nghe people say, "show" then it will be strict!
Human cognition goes from perception, listening, seeing, reading, learning; processed through brain thinking, then action.
To implement the Party's policies and guidelines, the State's laws and regulations of the political system, localities and units, we often put information on the mass media; along with that is propaganda, study, discussion, explanation, appeal,... so that everyone knows and responds. When everyone (subject) fully understands, they will trust, agree and realize it in social life.
Such preliminary points show that the activities of dissemination, propaganda, explanation, appeal, recommendation,... have important significance in implementing the policies, guidelines, regulations,... of the Party and State, and regulations of localities and units into real life.
Along with propaganda and appeals, competent authorities also have a system of sanctions that require members to comply. These are specific documents of the Party, Government, People's Councils, People's Committees of localities, etc. When propaganda, explanation, and appeals are made but still not implemented properly, penalties must be imposed. There are many forms of penalties, according to the Charter, regulations, and laws, including administrative sanctions, criminal prosecution, compensation, imprisonment, etc.
Society has many rich and diverse activities. Each activity is guided, regulated and managed by laws and sub-law documents. These are the “swords and shields” that ensure a stable, peaceful and developed society.
Our fight against corruption has achieved encouraging results. Many officials have had to stand trial and be “brought to light”. This demonstrates the strong determination of our Party, State and People. However, there are still many difficulties and complications ahead.
Most corrupt people are those in power, those who control the resources of the country, the locality, and the unit. They are educated, knowledgeable, have university degrees, even post-graduate degrees, and have gone through selection and election processes. When “not yet exposed”, they are the ones propagandizing, explaining, and calling on everyone to implement policies, guidelines, laws, and regulations. They even have the qualifications to write books to preach to cadres, party members, and the people. It can be said that their actions are all ambitious and calculated, not spontaneous or ignorant. The appeals to them are just “I know! It’s so hard, keep saying it!”

For a long time, the whole society has been discussing “What is the use of having a lot of money?”. The answer is: A lot of things to do! Human desires are one and two. If you ride a motorbike, you want to ride a car. If you have a car, you want a more luxurious car. If you have a villa, you want to have a farm. If you want a villa, a foreign household registration for your children and grandchildren,... How much is enough?
For such subjects, all the appeals and slogans have become saturated, “immune”, and even “outdated”. They no longer “love their country and people”, have no honor, no shame, and no integrity. Appeals and slogans are not enough to persuade and bring them back to integrity and honesty. To prevent corruption, it is important to have strict sanctions.
It is known that in Cambodia, there is also a phenomenon of "rich kids" - the "uneducated" noblemen who race aggressively and recklessly. Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered: If any state official lets his child race, his parents will be fired immediately. If he cannot do this, he will resign. He said he would do it. Races will end!
In Singapore, people practice “three no’s” against corruption. “Cannot” because state money and assets are very strictly managed; “Don’t dare” because if exposed, there will be a heavy fine; “No need” because salaries are high, corruption is shameful,...
According to the agreement, when Singaporean civil servants start working, their first month's salary must be deducted 5% of their salary. Every year, the deduction increases by 1%, until it stops at 20%/month. This amount belongs to the civil servant, is deposited into a card, and is calculated with interest. This amount will be received upon retirement. During the course of work, if a civil servant commits a minor corruption crime, in addition to the sanctions, this savings card will also be confiscated. This is one of the agreements between the State and civil servants when they are recruited. Their salaries are very high, the amount of money is increasing, so they are not foolish enough to violate the law and have this money confiscated!
At a seminar on “Social Management” at Nayang University – Singapore, the Professor – Member of Parliament guided us in a discussion. He smiled and said happily: Do you think Vietnam or Singapore is more free? You have to be careful, it is easy to get fined here. For example: Throwing cigarette butts or chewing gum on the street will result in a fine of 100 USD. If you don’t have money, they will find you a job, and you have to pay the fine before you can go home!
Once in Shenzhen, at a red light, the taxi driver stopped us, waited to go straight but stopped on the right side of the road, causing the right turn to get stuck. The police officer gently tapped on the car window and stuck a yellow ticket on the front. The driver turned pale because he considered that day as a free day!
