-- Vietnam is expected to release 20,000 inmates from prison early in the next two years, which helps save nearly VND200 billion (US$8.93 million) in annual incarceration costs for the government.

-- Vo Kim Cu, the legislator who approved Formosa’s operations in central Vietnam but later deflected blame when the project was found causing an environmental disaster, has been approved to be a member of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly.
