HCM City, Aug. 3 (VNA) - Police from southern Tien Giang province has detected a ring that illegally organised meetings between Vietnamese girls and prospective Korean husbands with its leader being a woman holding the Republic of Korea citizenship.

After nine months of investigation, police has found Oh Moon Sook hiding in Ho Chi Minh City, who has from July 2002 entered Viet Nam 28 times as a tourist, but in fact she operated as a matchmaker, violating Viet Nam's laws. She was assisted by two Vietnamese women to organise meetings between the "brides" and the clients, and prepare immigration procedures for Vietnamese brides to go to the RoK.

Recently, the ring has helped three Vietnamese girls in My Tho town to marry Korean men and to live in the RoK, the police said.

The ring was denounced by another girl, who had been married to a Korean man five months ago but could not go to the RoK due to her falsified papers. All of her money, jewels and dowry were kept by Sook.

Police said Sook violated the regulations on foreigners and overseas Vietnamese, who stay and participate in activities contrary to the original purpose of their entry into Viet Nam, so she will be forced to return all the jewels and money she misappropriated and will be brought to court in accordance with Viet Nam's law.-Enditem

And people think that they have are tough time meeting people in the US! I am amused at the wording regarding the informant. The VNa states that she "denounced" the matchmaking service instead of "she informed police." Typical commie talk.

Now, complete this form in triplicate and have at least four character references file an affadavit on your behalf. Do not forget to attach a photo ID to the form. Also, schedule an interview with your district committee cardes...

Knowing how things operate in the SRV, I'll wager that someone didn't receive their bribe or they didn't receive as much as they wanted. If you pay-off the right Canh Sat officer, Cong An officer, or Party official, you can do just about anything you want. Someone didn't get their cash OR someone in a position of authority was slighted.

You're probably right about it. That pretty much sums up the commie mentality.

Read books like Following Ho Chi Minh, The Inviting Call of Wandering Souls, or Two Hamlets in Nam Bo to get an idea of how the commies had greater problems with corruption than did the RVN. Also, China and the Vietnam Wars, 1950-1975 describes how communist cadres succumbed to corruption as early as 1950 by selling-off weapons and supplies from China.

It always amazes me when people mention religion as the cause of human grief and devastation. Communists have killed more people than anyone else.

Here is a good link. Murder by Communism. HOW MANY DID COMMUNIST REGIMES MURDER? LINK

Absolutely. A former ARVN officer wroteThe Inviting Call of Wandering Souls. He was not able to escape in 1975 and spent a few years in a "re-education" camp. The treatment that he describes is deplorable. Also, Following Ho Chi Minh describes, among other things, how people suffered and died in the DRV (North Viet Nam) during the horrible, Chinese-style agricultural "reform" of the 1950s.

I read some of the horrible stuff they did to people in order to subjugate them and break their spirits. Disgusting!

"I read some of the horrible stuff they did to people in order to subjugate them and break their spirits. Disgusting!"

Yes, but the commies never made anyone stand naked with a pair of ladies undies on their heads.

Durbin's comments are the ravings of a drooling nit-wit. If I were a prisoner and my options were beatings, starvation, and electrocution on one hand and standing about with panties on my head on the other hand, I would choose the latter. Durbin needs to speak with people who underwent real torture and abuse.

I concur with you. Durbin's mischaracterization is a great disservice to the military and our country. Put it simply, he's a jerk.

I agree with many Vietnamese in Viet Nam and abroad who believe that "The South Will Rise Again"...



The discontent with Hanoi is palpable in the South (especially in Saigon and the whole Mekong Delta). Saigon is very pro-American and is dragging the rest of the country into a market economy. Next step, remove the PAVN from positions of power in the government.

There's one thing for sure. Communism is a dying ideology. Too bad that its seeds are still floating in the heads of America Intelligentzia.

Need to finish homework for tomorrow.

Thanks for the chat. Night. See you tomorrow.
