Mr. Hai was assigned as Vice President in charge of urban areas since March 2016. Because District 1 is the face of the city, while sidewalks and roadsides are seriously occupied, he is determined to "take back the sidewalks for pedestrians". Through many direct trips to the streets, he has punished many cases.
According to the Vice Chairman of District 1, the process of handling him affected the huge benefits of thousands of billions of dong of parking lot owners, restaurants, hotels, street-front businesses... "and a large number of officials living in symbiosis with them".
On January 8, Mr. Hai suddenly submitted a resignation letter because he "could not fulfill his promise to the people". However, 4 months later, in a letter sent to the City Party Committee, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and the leaders of the District 1 People's Committee, he expressed his wish to withdraw his resignation letter.
The reason given by Mr. Hai is that he has received much encouragement, consolation, expectation and persuasion from leaders at all levels. He has thought carefully and wishes to continue to contribute, is ready to work in difficult and dangerous places... and accept any assigned tasks.
