Microsoft Vietnam to help turn Nha Trang into tourism-centered ‘smart city’

TUOI TRE NEWS
UPDATED : 05/25/2017 11:08 GMT + 7

Microsoft Vietnam will work with the south-central beach city of Nha Trang to upgrade its IT infrastructure to create a ‘smart city’ with a particular focus on tourism.

The plan was announced on Wednesday at the signing ceremony for a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Microsoft Vietnam and the administration of Khanh Hoa Province to develop the city under a smart city model.

“A smart city is one where its chairman can wake up each morning and be instantly informed of which streets are experiencing traffic congestion and which issues are troubling citizens,” Vu Minh Tri, country manager of Microsoft Vietnam, said at the ceremony.

According to the MoU, the provincial administration will facilitate Microsoft’s efforts to study and review Nha Trang’s IT infrastructure in order to develop a model for smarter and more streamlined governance.

After a new foundation for the city’s IT infrastructure has been established, both parties will continue to develop Nha Trang’s technological capabilities in the fields of education, medical service, and e-government.

The plan also calls for a particular emphasis on developing a mobile app-based system for ‘smart tourism.'

Nha Trang is the third city in Vietnam to sign an MoU with Microsoft to develop into a smart city, following in the footsteps of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Tri said.

In these cities, Microsoft will work with a local telecom partner, either Viettel or VNPT, to expand on the available infrastructure.

“Each city will have its own priorities in building a smart city,” Tri said. “In the case of Ho Chi Minh City, the top priority is finding a solution for its chronic traffic problems. Khanh Hoa will focus primarily on smart tourism.”

Regarding the establishment of an e-government, Tri said the key to building such a system is ensuring that all data input into the application is analyzed objectively.

“The human factor is minimal, so it guarantees a high level of transparency,” the country manager explained. “This is important to foreign investors who trust Vietnam with their capital.”

Tran Viet Trung, director of Khanh Hoa’s Department of Tourism, said the body is working with local IT conglomerate FPT to develop a ‘Smart Travel’ platform where visitors can easily access tourist information.

All information regarding travel agencies, attractions, cuisine, and tour packages in the province will be available with an Internet-connected mobile phone or laptop.

“When tourists visit Nha Trang Cathedral, for example, they can access a database of information about the building’s history accompanied by a voice narration and relevant photos and videos,” Trung said.

Capital shortage slows HCM City metro project

HCM City’s Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro line is facing a high risk of lagging behind schedule due to a shortage of capital.


Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro project

According to Le Nguyen Minh Quang, head of the HCM City urban railway project management board the project needs a total investment of VND5.4 trillion (USD245.4 million) this year, however, to date, the government has only released VND2.1 trillion (USD95.4 million).

“HCM City authorities have informed the government of the problem, but the disbursement of remaining capital for the project this year has not yet been carried out,” Quang added.

Quang said that since September 2016, HCM City advanced the city budget for the project, but, the city can’t do so as it has many issues to be dealt with. If the situation does not improve, the project will face a high risk of being delayed and lag behind schedule.

This has also seriously affected the image of Vietnam among foreign investors. At a recent meeting with HCM City authorities, representatives from contractors raised their concerns about the possibility of payment for the project, Quang noted.

Earlier, HCM City asked the government for the allocation of VND7 trillion (USD318.1 million) for the Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro and water quality improvement projects. However, to date just half of this has been approved.

Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro project is valued at USD2.49 billion. The project, which is started in August 2012, is nearly 20 kilometres long, connecting HCM City’s District 1 and Binh Duong Province’s Di An District.

Just over a third of the project has been completed, which is scheduled to go into operation in 2020.

Vietnam woman arrested for impersonating ‘US soldier’ to swindle countrywomen

TUOI TRE NEWS
UPDATED : 05/27/2017 11:11 GMT + 7

Police in the southern province of Tien Giang have arrested a woman for impersonating an American soldier stationed in Afghanistan to swindle many Vietnamese women of hefty sums of money.

Tran Thi Bich Tuyen, 35, a resident in Go Cong Tay District, is detained for four months on charges of swindling to appropriate assets, police confirmed on Friday.

Tuyen has confessed to police that she had successfully duped two other women with the same scam to send her VND100 million ($4,405).

The arrest came after one of Tuyen’s latest victim, Dang Thi M., a resident in Ha Long City in the northern Quang Ninh Province, reported her case of being scammed off VND2.2 billion (US$97,000) by a con artist to police.

According to the police file, in April, the 49-year-old Ha Long resident was contacted via Facebook by a man named Patrick Paul, who claimed to be an American military officer working in Afghanistan.

After message exchanges on Facebook, the ‘American soldier’ told M. that he had been given $1.2 million from the U.S. government and wanted to have the money transferred to Vietnam to evade taxes.

The man asked M. if she could help receive the money under her name, adding that he would use the money to marry her.

The married woman responded that she did not want the marriage, but was willing to help receive the money and gave her ‘boyfriend’ all necessary information.
Paul then told her that the gift had arrived in Vietnam and someone would soon contact her on how to claim it.

On May 3, a woman speaking southern accent called M. on the phone, claiming to be an employee of Tan Son Nhat International Airport and asked her to pay multiple fees to claim the gift.

As instructed, M. made five money transfers, totaling VND2.2 billion ($97,000), to an account registered under the name of Ngo Thi Anh Thu and had since lost contact from both Thu and her ‘boyfriend’.

Realizing that she had been conned, M. reported the case to the police.
Ngo Thi Anh Thu has also been arrested, according to Tien Giang police.

Many cases of similar scamming have been reported across Vietnam in recent times. In Quang Ninh alone, three women had been swindled of more than VND1.2 billion ($52,863) this year.

In April, a woman in the central province of Quang Nam was scammed off VND900 million ($40,000) by an online boyfriend who claimed to be an officer of the U.S. Army.

Earlier this year, a woman from Lam Dong Province in the Central Highlands was cheated to send VND366 million ($16,000) to a con artist whom she met on Facebook.

What’s better than accessing Facebook without worrying about your mobile data plan?

Vietnamese mobile carrier Mobifone announced on Friday it has cooperated with the world’s largest social network to launch Facebook Flex, a service allowing its subscribers to use Facebook without any data charges.

The Facebook available for the “free mode” access, however, is a light version, which displays no photo and other media content but still allows users to check their newsfeed, posting statuses and comments, and chatting via Facebook Messenger.

The service is intended to help more people have access to the social network now used by more than 1.9 billion.
