In a talk with voters of District 1, deputy Tran Kim Yen, Chairwoman of the Inspection Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, shared that the city has plans to build waste-to-energy plants.
Among them, a waste-to-energy plant was commenced and is expected to start operating in the third quarter of 2025; thereby encouraging residents to continue waste segregation at the source smoothly and efficiently right after the waste-to-energy plant begins operating.
In a meeting with voters of District 3, deputy Do Duc Hien, a Standing Member of the National Assembly's Committee on Legal Affairs virtually concentrated on the adjustment of personal income tax.

This issue was mentioned by National Assembly deputies during the working session.
Deputy Do Duc Hien proposed the Ministry of Finance promptly review and evaluate the implementation of the Personal Income Tax Law and report to the Government, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly and the National Assembly for consideration of amendments or supplements to suit the current situation.
The Standing Committee of the National Assembly also suggested the Government and relevant agencies carefully assess the impacts and collect opinions from experts and those under direct impact. Besides, functional agencies need to be cautious during the process to determine a reasonable and feasible implementation that aligns with the country's socioeconomic conditions as well as the desires of the voters.
