Deputy TBT Secretary Luong Ngoc An sent a complaint against poet Da Thao Phuong

“I filed a complaint with the police because I found myself being slandered by Mrs. Da Thao Phuong.” – Mr. Luong Ngoc An said.

On his personal page, Mr. Luong Ngoc An also has a long share. He wrote: “Over a week has been a long time for me.

Stunned at what happened on the evening of April 6, not only because my name, my image, and innocent poems are being dissected and harshly criticized on social networks but also because I don’t understand why it happened all of a sudden.

A story I don’t want to repeat again is not just because of right or wrong, because right or wrong is not fun.

I’ve been paying for my mistakes for over 20 years. For more than 20 years, who dares to say that silence means no waves. Between reason and love, when you can’t go with it, isn’t it better to avoid it?

Answer to the press: ‘I don’t know what to say right now’ is not avoiding, but wanting to think more carefully about this and choose the right time to less hurt those who are not involved.

Because of this story, family, relatives and friends also have to endure a lot of frustration and pressure from public opinion on social networks. But that frustration, is that pressure worth it?

Worse still, there are people who have never held any grudges and suddenly take advantage of this incident to say bad things and make up slanderous stories without shame. Too inhumane. It’s true that people can kill each other with words. But perhaps dying for words is not so easy.

For me, the scary thing is not facing the truth, because that has been happening for more than 20 years. What I don’t want is the hurt of people who don’t deserve to be hurt by repeating this.

There have been friends who advised me to handle the story the way they thought was right. There are many people who are not friends who also suggest very objective solutions.

I have listened, and realized that in order to harmonize everything, there is nothing like using the old ideas: The greatest reason is also the greatest love, I would like to thank everyone for their kindness.

I also apologize to my friends who have been offended by me these past few days. Sorry to the agency, the family has been disturbed and troubled because of this. I ask for this matter to be resolved in a manner that I consider necessary.”
