Tran Hung Dao

Read an interesting story in the paper.  The interesting part was the official actually said something like "I didn't punch him..he ran into my fist" kind of thing.  Unbelievable!

Hoang defended himself, saying, “During the fight, I was holding a hoe, and shoving from both sides caused the hoe to hit Tran by chance. I did not attack her intentionally.”

Well from the video, it's easy to understand how someone got hurt. All parties involved seem to be Vietnamese as that's what was being spoken, though one lady is wearing a tribal bracelet. I'd be more suspicious of the authorities if they were Sedang, Rengao, or Halang. Of course, the underlying owner of the land itself is the state, and if they ruled that the original title be modified to allow further construction, then the victim, however much sympathy one feels for her, was legally in the wrong to oppose the dominion holder.

I suspect 1975 Kontum was a buyer's market rather than a seller's, and urban land prices have gone up considerably since.
