Remarks at the 3rd session of the XIIIth National Assembly

For over a year serving as a NA deputy, even with a short time, I find it not only a great honor but a heavy responsibility in the process of step-by-step realization of my Action program promised to voters. I have strived and provided necessary efforts to study the documents, to contribute, speak out and share frank, responsible opinions at the NA sessions as well as at the meetings of the Committee for Culture, Education, Youth and Adolescents and Children in which I have served as a member.

Dear the Presidium,

Dear National Assembly deputies,

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Chairman of the National Assembly, Vice Chairmen of the National Assembly, Members of the NA Standing Committee and NA deputies for allowing me to make my speech today. I would like to speak on three following subjects:

1 – Over the past days and months, many NA deputies and voters have been confused, anxious, and even pressed about my case either of downside or upside views. I have earnestly reviewed myself, I made a careless mistake, but not on purpose, which has been enough to lead to today's situation. I believe no one would expect the case to prolong until now, especially during the time with various significant national issues in need of attention, with various major tasks to be undertaken by the National Assembly for the country and people.

At the moment, I truly hold no blame to anyone; I accept all decisions of the organization.

2. For over a year serving as a NA deputy, even with a short time, I find it not only a great honor but a heavy responsibility in the process of step-by-step realization of my Action program promised to voters. I have strived and provided necessary efforts to study the documents, to contribute, speak out and share frank, responsible opinions at the NA sessions as well as at the meetings of the Committee for Culture, Education, Youth and Adolescents and Children in which I have served as a member.

With regard to the locality where I applied for the NA candidacy, apart from participating in meeting and talking to voters, deputy’s activities…., I have strived to fulfill my promises as an entrepreneurial deputy, and have done the best in my capacity to contribute to the locality and to share with the disadvantaged people. I together with Tan Tao Group have completed the construction and granted 4 rural bridges, 03 compassion houses; continue funding hepatitis B vaccinations for 18,500 children, funding free health care checkup and medical treatments for 4000 women and elderly, presenting 1,200 gifts on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2012. In particular, I together with Tan Tao University have funded capital, seeds and techniques to develop 100 hectares of clean rice field in the saline, alkaline and low productive agricultural land and have procured the entire rice output from farmers. The first crop has produced a yield of 7 to 8 tons per hectare, higher than the previous yield of below 5 tons per hectares, which has helped improving farmer households’ average income from 20 million dong per ha per crop to 30 to 40 million dong per ha per crop; we have granted shares worth hundreds of billion dong to Tan Tao University to fund scholarships to Hoa Trang Nguyen students, laboratories, library, scientific research projects, salaries to professors from renowned universities in the world; granting full scholarships covering tuition fees and accommodation to students…Therefore, just after one year in operation, Tan Tao University has had 21 studies announced and published in the world’s prestigious scientific journals.

In comparison to what I have voluntarily contributed and have shared with local people throughout 19 years, the work undertaken over the past year was very modest and meager, especially in the current situation of economic recession and crisis.

3 - What I was and still am doing with responsibility as a deputy of the XIIIth session NA could come to a halt today in accordance with the regulation. But what I have done with responsibility of a citizen, a women entrepreneur over the past 20 years to the country, my homeland and people will still be continued, and even with stronger efforts while having a vision and responsibility of a representative of people despite serving a short time.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the NA’s leaders, the NA Standing Committee, the Nationalities Council, and Committees of the National Assembly, Departments of the NA Standing Committee, NA delegation of Long An Province, NA delegations, NA deputies, officials and staff of departments of the Office of the National Assembly, the Office of NA delegation – the People’s Council of Long An Province for helping, supporting and assisting me to fulfill the deputy’s mission over the past year.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the press agencies and the associated authorities for the attention and delivery of whether correct or not yet correct information on my case.

I would like to close my statement by presenting to deputies of the XIIIth National Assembly simple verses composed by a deputy:

" So quick time's passing by

Life's just flashing light

Heart and mind of Nation

People's Deputy, raises your head high”

I would like to wish leaders and NA deputies good health, happiness and much success as representatives of people!

Respectfully!
