10 million telephone numbers to change next month
=================================

Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) has announced a change to landline telephone numbers in most provinces nationwide by early next month.


The giant state-owned telco said it would affix a “3” to the beginning of most subscribers’ phone numbers on October 5, without any changes in provincial codes.

“The modification will involve more than 10 million of our subscribers,” said VNPT’s spokesperson Bui Quoc Viet.

The company said the addition was necessary because of growing subscriber numbers.

The modification would be implemented in 55 cities and provinces, excluding the provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nam Dinh, Hai Duong, Kien Giang, Dong Nai, Nghe An and the cities of Hai Phong and Da Nang.

People would be able to dial either the original or modified numbers during a two-week transitional period ending on October 19, excluding subscribers to VNPT’s G-Phone package, for whom changes will take effect fully on October 5.

Viet said the company would be ready to solve any problems that arise from the change, based on Vietnamese laws which protect customer rights.

He said the number changes in Hanoi were the biggest challenge because of the new merger with former Ha Tay Province, which had two changes of numbers and a new provincial code.

After this modification, VNPT’s telephone numbers would have seven digits in all cities and provinces, excluding Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City which would have eight digits.

Statistics from the Ministry of Information and Communications showed VNPT had 11.5 million landline subscribers nationwide by the end of 2007, accounting for 78.6 percent of the domestic market.

Re: Tieng Viet lovers club
 

Hi, I think his meaning is that oneself needs to check out the WORDS in the dictionary first before u post the question.

By the way, some translation posted by other ppl here, i also dun understand after 1st look. I will have to go to the dictionary to lookup it word by word. Some words have many meanings, e.g. "co" it has 13 words, if u write it without the viet sign.

Hope this helps to clear the air :)

HCMC police bust high-class prostitution ring
=============================

Ho Chi Minh City police have arrested the leader of a major prostitution ring that has been providing women for affluent clients since last year.


Lam Thi Ngoc Hue, who was initially found along with two other hired female sex workers “entertaining” customers at a hotel in District 3, was formally arrested Wednesday by District 3 police.

A news source said one of the three sex workers was a model who had previously competed in the Miss Sea 2006 beauty contest in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.

Hue confessed she has been a sex broker since the end of 2007 and she regularly scoured bars and discotheques in HCMC for attractive girls to recruit into her ring.

Hue had between 20-30 young girls in her network, including some who were amateur models.

Supplying sex workers to wealthy men at US$300-500 per encounter, Hue pocketed a “brokering fee” ranging from $100-150 per customer.

For clients who wanted companions on travel tours, the ring leader would provide girls starting at $500 per day per person.

Hue also confessed to serving as a sex worker whenever her girls were in short supply or upon customers’ orders.

Prostitution is illegal in Vietnam.

Women arrested for drugging, robbing men
============================

Local police in southern Can Tho City Thursday arrested two women suspected of illegally drugging and robbing men after luring them to hotels.


Le Thi Thu Hong, 36, and Nghiem Xuan Thao Ly, 40, both from Hau Giang Province were arrested at a hotel on Tran Van Kheo Street in Can Tho City’s Cai Khe Ward, Ninh Kieu District.

The women were allegedly stealing money and jewelry from a man they had invited to the hotel and drugged.

The police reported that the pair admitted to drugging the man and stealing his cell phone, a gold ring, a diamond ring and VND2.7 million (US$160).

The victim from An Giang Province said he met Hong and Ly through a friend and they invited him to the hotel on Thursday upon his visit to Can Tho City.

He said they had drugged him by inviting him to the hotel room for a glass of fruit juice.

Police said the two women may have used the same ploy to rob an expensive cell phone and a diamond ring from another man on Sunday.

The chief of police from Cai Khe Ward in Ninh Kieu District, Le Huu Ngon, said there had been other reports recently of two women using drugs to perform robberies.

Ninh Kieu District police officer, Nguyen Van Giap said some reports suggested there was a group of women involved.

Giap said the district police were continuing investigations.

Income lure dents anti-prostitution program
=============================
More young women are returning to prostitution as a viable means of income, not merely being driven to it by poverty, according to the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs.


A ministry report released at a conference held in the city on Friday, says the women view it as an “easy way to make money.”

Prostitution was also spreading to rural areas in Vietnam, and the average age and level of education of women entering the profession was also increasing, experts noted at the conference held by the ministry’s Department of Social Evils Prevention.

According to the ministry, about 5,000 prostitutes are admitted annually to re-education centers or assisted by their communities. The ministry estimates that there were nearly 30,000 women working as prostitutes in Vietnam as of last year, but only 14,482 were on record.

A government plan to curb prostitution during the 2006-2010 period envisages that at least 70 percent of those who are on file are sent to vocational training and re-education centers.

The goal is to reduce the number of those who return to prostitution after undergoing re-education by 50 percent.

For example, the women’s association in each community can help equip these women with vocational training or help them get loans to start small businesses.

Nguyen Thi Phuong, director of the Center for Re-educating Social Laborers in Hanoi, said most of the prostitutes prefer not to reveal their real identities.

“Therefore it’s harder for the re-education centers, the local communities and other social organizations to keep track of them,” she said.

Phuong said the problem also has partly to do with the re-educating programs in some areas not being effective and some women finding it hard to return to normal lives because of discrimination and prejudices they have to face.
