Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang has banned senior leaders, chairmen and directors of companies under his ministry from playing, organizing or attending any golf event, in an official document on Tuesday.
According to Minister Thang, some leaders working in organizations under his ministry were not focused on their work and duties which was affecting the progress of several projects.
One of the reasons for this heedless neglect of their duties was that officials had adopted the time consuming sport of golf.
