How rich are the vietnamese gov't officials? If you have done business in vietnam - you know how corrupt it's

Question

President Bush mentioned during his ASEAN summit that Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung children educated in America, married Americans, and live quite wealthy. Gov't officials sending their children to America for education is nothing new. But America education to an average Vietnamese is quite insanely expensive without scholarships.

If you've done business in Vietnam, you know that the entire system is totally and discreetly corrupted. I guess to find out how rich these top vietnamese gov't officials are, I just have to look in their bank account. Anyone know the art and the how to of digging up these hard to find info?

Answer 1

Vietnam doesn't have a freedom of information act as the U.S. does, and they never will as long as the government continues to be communist. Vietnamese government corruption can be easily covered up and very difficult, if not impossible, to trace. However, much of the corruption is right out in the open and visible for everyone to see.

Most of the richest Vietnamese are or were government officials. It's common thinking in Vietnam to believe that a Viet driving a Mercedes through town is a government official. The former minister of transportation is known to have taken tens of millions of dollars for himself. He is renowned for making bets on soccer games in the millions of dollars. He barely got his hand slapped when he was replaced a couple years ago.

Long story short - You can dig all you want, but all you're going to accomplish is to make a big hole. Also, the hole you dig might end up being your grave if you're in Vietnam or plan to visit there. You need to consider that Vietnam's communist government doesn't work like the U.S. government does.
