Vietnam firms aid corruption with unsolicited bribes

75% is, indeed, a conservative figure.  90% is more likely, with the exempted 10% being those businesses owned and operated by Party members or their families.

The lawyers...  They are the buffoons of Vietnamese society.  Typically, Vietnamese lawyers are bureaucratic rejects, due to the lack of political connections.

Hi Julien,

I just find this report amusing. Like that Wild 1 has shared. There are so much bribery going in this country. It will be interesting if fellow expats can share about the problems they face while doing their paper work with the government bodies.

Julien,

I know what you want.  But, I can't give it to you.  It's illegal for us Americans to do that! 

Maybe Noah can...

I try to convince myself as it is like paying lawyer in my country. The communist party is dominant so that the government member never changes in VN. After all, nothing is free.

Julien, you need to do nothing.  Threads have there own life and will often die a natural death, sometimes moderation of threads breeds comtempt.
