Many officials voluntarily applied for early retirement after the administrative unit reorganization, contributing to creating favorable conditions for localities to solve the problem of arranging redundant officials when merging administrative units. That positive action demonstrates the spirit of sacrificing one's own interests to give up positions to capable people and younger people to continue contributing.
Comrade Duong Ngoc Son - Secretary of the Party Committee of Dien Ngoc Commune (Dien Chau District) has 10 more years of work before reaching retirement age. Recently, Comrade Son wrote a letter of application for early retirement with the reason "to facilitate the organization of surplus cadres after the administrative unit reorganization". According to the roadmap, Dien Ngoc Commune will merge with Dien Bich Commune to establish a new administrative unit, Ngoc Bich. After the merger, Ngoc Bich Commune will have 21 surplus cadres and civil servants.
"Writing a voluntary early retirement application is not easy for any cadre or civil servant, especially when I have 10 years of work left. My wife cried when she learned about my decision. But I explained to her. My family has a production facility, and I have skills in the field of electricity, so when I retire from my job at the commune, I have time to develop the family economy, increase income and can create more jobs for local workers. Besides, through studying the regulations and policies on supporting cadres, civil servants, and non-professional workers who are redundant after the merger, I find the support policy for those who retire early very satisfactory..." - comrade Duong Ngoc Son shared.
At the same time, comrade Dau Xuan Thuy - Chairman of the Fatherland Front Committee of Dien Ngoc commune - who held the position of Chairman of the People's Committee of the commune for 2 terms, Secretary of the Party Committee of the commune for 2 terms - also voluntarily wrote a letter of request for early retirement. The reason was clearly stated by comrade Thuy: "Although I am still old enough to structure the positions in the commune, I see that in the agency there are many comrades who are young, well-trained, have working capacity and have many prospects, so I voluntarily asked to retire, creating opportunities for those comrades to contribute. I believe that those comrades will complete their tasks well. My request for early retirement also creates more favorable conditions for the organization in the work of arranging cadres".
“The key local cadres who have just retired early are capable, experienced and prestigious. During their work, they have also been a spiritual support for young cadres like us. Their actions to create conditions for young cadres like us to continue contributing after the commune merger are very noble deeds...”, shared Comrade Cao Duc Nguyen - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Dien Ngoc Commune Party Committee.

I have also encouraged two officials, the President of the Women's Union and the President of the Commune Fatherland Front Committee, to apply for early retirement to give young officials a chance to be considered for placement after the commune merger, while also creating favorable conditions for the organization in arranging officials" - Comrade Pham Huu Hong expressed.
