At the meeting, Mr. Tran Viet Trung, a voter from Truong Tho ward, welcomed the approval of the National Assembly's legal basis for the establishment of Thu Duc City. This is good news because voters expect a modern Thu Duc urban area, a driving force for the city's development.

According to Mr. Tran Viet Trung, what the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City should be doing right now is to embellish the city, improve people's living standard; show people the benefits of the merger, for example, when being sick, the people can go to three district-level hospitals for treatment depending on their conditions.

He also said that when the merger happens, there will be a number of redundant civil servants, so this is an opportunity to select good civil servants.

According to voter Nguyen Thanh Liem, it is necessary to publicize schedules to meet citizens of leaders at all levels, because people need to directly meet the leaders, not just meet the receptionist.

Answering voters, Mr. Truong Trung Kien, Chairman of the Thu Duc district People's Committee, said that when people want to meet district leaders, they should register through application or directly register and the citizen reception board will record. Except for unexpected cases, the Chairman of the district always works directly with the people to solve problems.

At the meeting, the Ho Chi Minh City delegation of National Assembly deputies also answered some questions of the people on a number of issues such as: technical infrastructure, transport infrastructure in the southeastern provinces and Ho Chi Minh City; and prevention and control of COVID-19, especially in the context of new cases of infection appearing in the community.

According to National Assembly deputy Phan Nguyen Nhu Khue, if COVID-19 is not well controlled in Ho Chi Minh City, the nation’s economy will be affected, because Ho Chi Minh City is the economic engine of the country./.
