Researcger sats gov't cares about public opinion

Researcher says gov’t cares about public opinion
Head of the Public Opinion Research Institute Dr. Pham Chien Khu says that the government is taking his agency’s surveys into greater consideration.
Thanh Nien: How does your institute go about collecting public opinion?
Pham Chien Khu: We use two key information channels. The first is a network of freelance surveyors that report to central and local agencies and authorities throughout the country.
The information is then reported to us.
However, freelance reporting to authorities is often disproportionately positive.
We then also have a network of direct surveyors who report facts only to the institute.
We also keep tabs on the press, an important channel.
These channels help us create weekly and monthly reports and carry out special investigations, which are then reported to the government and responsible agencies.
Does the government care about these reports?
As far as I am concerned, government leaders and responsible authorities always read the reports to create proper solutions.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
