At the conference this morning, voters were introduced to the candidates’ brief biographies and action programs.
During the meeting, many voters said that with a dense population and numerous markets and hospitals, the ward needs more comprehensive investment in social infrastructure. An Dong Ward’s voters proposed that the city review expanding hospitals, enlarging or building new schools, and accelerating the handling of long-delayed projects. They also suggested that vacant land in the ward should be renovated and put into effective use as soon as possible.
In particular, voters urged the candidates to recommend that the city continue preserving and promoting the customs and traditions of ethnic minority communities, including the Chinese community.
In his remarks at the event, on behalf of the candidates, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Le Quoc Phong acknowledged the voters’ thoughtful and responsible opinions. He affirmed that regardless of the election results, the candidates would compile and fully convey voters’ legitimate recommendations to relevant authorities for consideration and resolution, while continuing to monitor issues directly affecting residents’ lives.
Regarding proposals on landscape improvement and public service facilities, Mr. Le Quoc Phong indicated that the city would review them based on practical conditions, ensuring they align with investment policies while gradually upgrading urban infrastructure in a synchronized, stable and long-term manner.
On the proposal to expand or build new schools, he noted that the city has conducted surveys and assessments related to the reorganization of educational institutions in the area.
Concerning healthcare investment, including hospitals, Mr. Le Quoc Phong said that facilities made available after administrative restructuring have been prioritized for use in the health and education sectors.
Addressing cultural identity, he affirmed that this is a distinctive feature of the locality and that the city will continue to preserve and promote it. This effort will help safeguard the traditional cultural identity of local communities while also creating distinctive cultural and tourism highlights for Ho Chi Minh City.
