Robbery on the streets of Saigon
================================================== ========

VietNamNet Bridge - In recent time in Ho Chi Minh City there were several cases of robbery in which the robbers fiercely assaulted, injured and even stabbed to death victims, and also policemen who chased them. This shows that robbery has become a big problem in Vietnam’s biggest city, which can make the city appear worse in the eyes of international friends.


HCM City authorities have brought this problem to discussion many times but robbery is still rampant and a big concern of local people.

VietNamNet would like to introduce a series of reports reflecting the status of robbery in HCM City and the opinion of people who have experience with it: street knights, police officers, etc. with the hope to alert people every time they go out and when they face robbers.

Laptops – the most favorite target of robbers

The latest robbery case in HCM City occurred in the morning of September 17 at the intersection of Cong Hoa - Hoang Hoa Tham in Tan Binh District. Robber Cao Xuan Lap, 28, was arrested and charged with robbery and murder.

Lap confessed that he was an electronic repairer but this job was unstable. Lacking of money, in the morning of September 17, he drove a motorcycle to the street to rob, targeting people with laptops.

Running around many roads, on Cong Hoa Road, Lap discovered Mr. Hoang Ngoc Tri, 22, carrying his girlfriend on his motorbike, with a laptop hung in the front of the vehicle. Lap pulled the laptop bag. Tri shouted for help and chased after Lap with other people. Lap stabbed Tri to death and seriously injured a police officer.

According to HCM City police, arrested robbers declared that they “favored” of robbing laptops. These robbers aimed at office employees who take laptops to and from their offices.

Not very long ago, Mr. Vo Minh Phong and his wife Dinh Ngoc Quynh Nhu, reporters of HCM City Law Newspaper, lost their laptop, camera and other assets in a robbery case at 8am, on their way to office.

In mid-August, District 9 Police Bureau prosecuted two men - Le Van Tinh, 20, and Dang Nhu Y, 19 for robbery and murder.

The two robbers confessed that they liked robbing laptops on Hanoi Highway because in the morning, this road is very crowded and many people carry laptop bags but they are rather subjective and careless.

Tinh and Y declared that to prepare for robbing laptop bags, they also took sharp scissors with them. Whenever they saw people would carry bags with straps they would come from behind, quickly cut the strap, grabbed the bag and speed up to escape.

In several hours in a morning, these men successfully robbed three laptop bags on the road. In the 3rd robbery, they were chased by the victims, the people and the police so they used knives to attack these people. They even pulled a gun from a policeman to oppose fiercely, injuring two passers-by and two policemen.

Why do robbers become murders?

Lieutenant Colonel Trinh Van Sam, head of the investigating police team for social order crimes, District 9 Police Bureau, said that in general, robbers are usually reckless and are ready to injure those who chase after them.

Sam said that when they were arrested, all robbers declared that they did not intentionally kill people. They just wanted to “open the blood way” to escape.

VietNamNet’s reporters had met with robbers when they had just arrested by the police. Most of them had criminal records but whenever they got out of jail, they continued robbery.

It seems that robbers clearly understand the law. They know that this crime is only sentenced for a few years in jail.

They are also very confident in their driving ability. Whenever they identify the prey, they are ready to rob, regardless of how busy streets are.

A reconnaissance policeman in HCM City explained that when they are hunted, criminals frantically resist escaping, especially criminals who carry weapons.

"Once facing this type of crime, it is the best to coordinate with others to chase them, try to disarm them, in order to minimize casualties to the people," the police officer said.

38 – Have to – must do something – phải
================================================== ========
In this lesson, we’ll learn how to use the verb Phải, which means “have to.”
subject + phải + verb
subject + không + phải + verb

Mấy giờ anh phải đi?
What time you (male) have to go/leave?
What time do you have to go/leave?

Anh không phải đi làm hôm nay.
I (male) don’t have to go to work today
I don’t have to go to work today

Người Mỹ đến Việt Nam có phải xin visa không? Có
people America come to VN have to ask for visa or no? Yes
Do Americans visiting Vietnam have to apply for visa? Yes



If it is mandatory to do something, such as “must”, you can use “bắt buộc phải” (caught and forced to do something)

Bệnh nhân bị đau tim bắt buộc phải đi cấp cứu
Patient hurt, pain heart must go emergengy
Heart attack patient must go to the emergency room (at the hospital)


Phải also means “right” as in “bên phải” (on the right) or rẽ phải (turn right).

[jackbl]

39 – still – còn
=========================
Còn means “still” (adverb) or “still have” (verb)
subject + còn + verb/adjective
adverb

Trời còn mưa to lắm! Chưa đi được đâu!
Sky still rains big very! not yet go able
It’s still raining very heavily! We cannot go yet.

Anh còn bao nhiêu tiền?
You (male) still have how much money
How much money do you still have?

Có còn đủ tiền mua vé không?
still have enough money to buy ticket or no?
Do you still have enough money to buy ticket?


Còn phải + verb means you still have to do something

Em còn phải thi toán nữa
I still have to take an exam math
I still have to take the math exam

because toi & ban is for stranger or friend?

so the correct phrase should be Anh Yeu Em?

It is not whether he is newbies or oldies.... It means how his "bx" expressed her feeling to him...

yes, so i am correct to think that u told her your bd is coming soon.

yes, correct, thats how i understand from this also.

Google spat out:
Tôi sẽ rất vui để biết rằng bạn đã đến an toàn tại Việt Nam và không làm công việc của bạn trong Xin-ga-po.Tôi muốn nhận được một tin nhắn SMS từ bạn từ Việt Nam nói với tôi rằng bạn ở nhà.Tôi có thể có món quà này?

sounds longwinded, but i think she will understand what u mean.

Ban keu thong dich cua ban, dich dum di.

"Ban co j muon noi voi toi ko?"

I'll clear your doubts, since i have your sincere reply,

5.10 i will have face to go back vietnam, i dont want to work in singapore anymore. i will let u come when i am in vietnam. i dun like that job, because of poor family (no $) i have to do something like this, if u love me, u have to understand me (so how to understand her, by sending soft toys?, or by playing Mr Nice?, no no, by sending $$$ to her,yes yes, because poor family, no work, no money). i want u to have a happy birthday. i love u.

u "call" (she means find) translate/translator of yours, translate it out

you still have what to say to me arnot?

My opinion: If u r not even prepared to spend her an air ticket, this relationships probably wont work out. Numerous messages she had sent have been revolving with $$$ issues. $$$ is the key to sustain and maintain this relationship. Dun need to spend time KCing with her lah, since u dun intend to give any $$$ to help her poor family.

Buying a soft toy or doing some romantic stuffs dont work, she is definately not looking for puppy love with you, dun need KC. Right now, if u pass her 10K, she can be even willing to bore a kid for u, but bear in mind that this 10k is not the end, there will be many many 10ksss forthcoming. If you are still thinking to trying to play that Mr nice with sweet talking, your luck isnt there!!!!! $$$ is the first and the last thing!!!!!

i just have to be blunt!!!!!! if you still not convinced, take a trip to vn, dun give her any money, if you have to go to her house then go emptyhanded (or just buy some present that worth a dime), fuck her in the hotel, and say bye bye to her. write your FR. i am most eager to know how your relationship will work out after that.

OX= ong xa

thanks bro for clarifying that for me.
I just replied to her "Anh thích em, tôi muốn giúp bạn nhưng tôi không có tiền. Có lẽ bạn sẽ để lại.".
It'll be interesting to see what she says.

In all honesty, I was going to take a quick trip to vietnam the next time I'd be in Singapore, but that won't be until early next year. I told her about going to Singapore next year and she said come to vietnam and she'd pick me up from the airport. She also said she'd take me to her house to play (thanks Google) but she said to book a hotel.

We all know what's gonna happen.

She'll realise now I won't be paying for her and won't bother replying.
If she continues to reply, it'll be interesting to see if she keeps it up until my trip next year. In which case, going to VN for a couple of days wouldn't hurt.

I'll go empty handed, won't pay a dime. Chances are she'll realise she won't get anything out of me. If she doesn't, she'll come to my hotel and we'll do the deed.

She'll probably demand money, which I won't give so that will be the end of it.
If she doesn't demand money, then maybe she passes...but all bros on here know about the remote chances of that.

I don't know a lot about vietnam and naive when it comes to the living conditions or the standard of living in asian countries. What's it like there? What does it take for a girl to enter the trade (either voluntarily or involuntarily)? Poor family? How poor are we talking?
