Will petty corruption be punished?

- Recently, everyone knows, but in the residential area where we live, it is true that "waiting for news about the Party's anti-corruption campaign is like waiting for rain in a drought" sir! Recently, we just wait for the news, for the time the newspaper comes out to read, to follow the anti-corruption campaign of our Party. And, every time a major case is brought to light and strictly handled, it feels extremely satisfying. Not only that, on January 22, we heard new directives from the respected General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, and our hearts were filled with joy! It is true that the anti-corruption campaign of our Party is very popular with the people.

- Are you talking about the content of the conclusion of the 13th meeting of the Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong requested to effectively prevent harassment and "petty corruption"?

- Oh, there, what else! Besides handling the "big cases" and other big and medium-sized cases, I felt extremely happy when I heard the General Secretary mention fighting "petty corruption". Oh my gosh, we've been waiting for this for a long time, do you know why?

- When we say "petty corruption", we mean small-scale corruption at the grassroots level, right?

- Yes, although it is small and low-level, "petty corruption" is very dangerous, sir! Because although it is small, it is widespread, the scale and level are small, but the scope is wide. That is, it can happen anywhere. Corruption ranges from doing an auxiliary project, to buying a cabinet or a table... From asking for each job position, to transferring, rotating, raising salary... From asking for a transfer, asking for points, asking for admission to a selective class, to reducing student meals... From asking for a stamp, asking for a signature, asking for paperwork, to doing the procedures correctly, in time, avoiding being "soaked", avoiding being "soaked", being "stalled"... From the difference in drug prices, to the issue of the quality of drugs not being guaranteed, to the issue of the hidden compensation envelopes when treating patients...

- That's right, as a leader once said, corruption is as rampant as a termite, it eats everything. Therefore, our Party's "anti-corruption furnace" this time is expected to burn everything, wipe out all corruption, from big to small, from outside society to even within the anti-corruption apparatus.

- It is indeed "trivial" but not "trivial" at all. The major cases reveal major incidents, causing the loss of a large amount of assets, greatly affecting the national treasury, and delaying the development of the entire country, but anyway, it is still something somewhere, only those who have extensive knowledge, full awareness, and a relatively high position and vision can clearly imagine its harmful effects. Unfortunately, “petty corruption” is something that “hits” people’s eyes and ears, it directly affects their wallets, salaries, income, food, water, medicine, and all aspects of people’s lives… “Petty corruption” is not large in scale and extent, but it is extremely painful because it is something that can be seen, detected, and it can exist in every organization, agency, unit, school, hospital, neighborhood… Therefore, it greatly reduces people’s trust. Therefore, if petty corruption can be fought, then society will be truly clean and healthy. That is what the whole people are eagerly waiting for.

- I believe that when the Party's will is in line with the people's will, the fight against "petty corruption" will also be successful. Because "petty corruption" is the enemy of every cadre, party member, and the masses, so if everyone supports it, everything will have good results. I strongly believe in this!
