Major Counterfeit Pharmaceutical Ring Uncovered in Thanh Hóa
Photo: Vietnam News Police in the central province of Thanh Hóa have dismantled a significant counterfeit pharmaceutical operation, targeting vulnerable elderly consumers with low-cost musculoskeletal medicines. The ring, which spanned multiple provinces including Hà Nội, HCM City, Vĩnh Phúc, Hưng Yên, An Giang, and Đồng Tháp, was responsible for producing and distributing fake pharmaceuticals intended for treating musculoskeletal diseases. Law enforcement conducted urgent searches across six locations used for the manufacturing and storage of these counterfeit medicines. In their operation, authorities seized a staggering 21 types of counterfeit products, over 18,000 empty packaging boxes, 142kg of various pills and powders, and nearly ten tonnes of counterfeit medicines and raw materials. They also confiscated machinery and equipment used in the illicit production process. Fourteen individuals, including the ringleaders, have been arrested. Nguyễn Tiến Đạt, aged 32, from Hà Nội and Trịnh Doãn Giáo, aged 38, from HCM City, orchestrated the scheme. They invested in production lines and researched pharmaceutical compositions, sourcing raw materials of dubious origin and hiring workers to produce counterfeit drugs by grinding and mixing these materials into powders. These fake drugs, presented as capsules and blister-packs, were distributed through various channels. Authorities estimate that between 2021 and the time of arrest, the operation profited nearly VNĐ200 billion (about US$8 million) from selling these counterfeit medicines. Initial investigations reveal the ring exploited a common issue in Vietnam where many self-medicate without official prescriptions, and a general lack of consumer knowledge about verifying medicine origins. By targeting elderly consumers seeking affordable treatment options for conditions like joint pain and degenerative ailments, the ring was able to perpetuate the sale of fake medications. Rather than replicate existing well-known pharmaceutical brands, they fabricated product names and companies, often fictitiously claiming overseas origins to lend a false sense of legitimacy. The investigation continues as authorities work to unravel the full extent of the operation and ensure those affected receive justice. This case highlights the pervasive issue of counterfeit pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the need for increased consumer awareness and tightened regulatory oversight, reported Vietnam News. -- 2025-04-17 -

I love Uncle Tony. PC has to go. Bring comedy back. Wow. The province of Porkabun in the news. Amazing Thailand. Once upon a time there was a very famous place behind the pig house in Muang Petchabun. A busy place for local and other provincial tourists. -

German Tourists Hit by Songthaew While Using Zebra Crossing in Khao Lak
They do to me, most times. I rarely go over 90 kph, and use the cruise control, so I don't. When posted at 60 kph, on the main highway, usually through major town with market, they I'll do 60 kph. Off the main, 60 & 30 kph .. nah, not so much, but drive very safe and aware of everything. When I'm in Krung Thep of congested area, where people may step off the kerb at anytime, or something come out of a side street about 1 meter before they even look ... yea, I'm in 'old man with hat & glasses mode'. Surely frustrating the hell out of any folks behind trying to get home with that pizza still hot. Oh well ... -

Workplace Tragedy in Bình Dương Claims Three Lives, Investigation Ongoing
File photo for reference only In a tragic incident at Bình Dương's KSB Industrial Park, three workers lost their lives in a serious workplace accident. The event unfolded on Thursday at Minh An Vina Co., Ltd., located in Đất Cuốc Commune. Local police, alongside the Bình Dương Provincial Police's criminal division, are diligently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident. The accident occurred during a renovation project at the facility. According to initial reports, the workers arrived at the site around 7am, and a metal support structure collapsed during dismantling, tragically striking the victims. Trịnh Văn Quốc, aged 36 from Sóc Trăng Province, and Trần Quốc Thanh, 33 from Bình Dương Province, were killed instantly. Trần Văn Lợi, 45 from Kiên Giang Province, succumbed to his injuries en route to the hospital. Preliminary investigations suggest that the renovation was undertaken without the necessary permits, prompting a comprehensive probe into regulatory compliance and overall site safety practices. In the wake of this tragedy, local authorities have extended condolences and financial assistance to the bereaved families. The Bình Dương Industrial Zones Authority's Trade Union provided VNĐ10 million (approximately US$385) to each family. Additional support was offered by KSB Industrial Park's head investor, the Bắc Tân Uyên District Labour Union, and the Đất Cuốc Commune People’s Committee, with each contributing VNĐ10 million and VNĐ5 million respectively. This incident underscores the critical need for stringent safety protocols and regulatory adherence in workplace environments to prevent similar tragedies in the future. The ongoing investigation aims to bring clarity to the incident, ensuring accountability and reinforcing safety standards, reported Vietnam News. -- 2025-04-17
