A few days ago, local newspapers had reported that a case of cheating was discovered in the company’s construction section.

At a meeting held yesterday, the company’s deputy general director, Pham Lap, admitted the wrongdoings in the construction section and announced strict punishments would be given to six employees connected with the incident.

“After evaluating the results of the concrete quality tests, we confirmed that the people’s accusation of cheating was completely right,” Lap said.

“We have given strict punishment to the staff that indulged in the cheating,” he added.

Lạp said the wrongdoing was very serious and it had badly affected to company’s reputation and the lives of thousands of employees.

The loss caused by the cheating will be compensated by the employees who were directly involved, he said.

Subsequently, Nguyen Van Toon and Nguyen Van Duong, heads of the construction section, were suspended from their posts. Complaints were also lodged against two leaders of the Nam Dinh branch of the Song Da Company for loose supervision and management of the construction.

Meanwhile, Vu Ngoc Hoi, one of the people who had denounced the cheating in public, was given an apology and thanked by the company.

Earlier, Hoi had been accused to making up the story to take revenge against some people in the company’s construction section.
