Public opinion was stirred up when suddenly appeared the image of the wife of General Secretary To Lam wearing a Vacheron Constantin watch made of rose gold and covered with Swiss diamonds worth up to VND4 billion ($160,000).
This is a limited edition watch that not everyone with money can buy.
With General Secretary To Lam’s monthly salary of only about $1000, people in Vietnam and abroad questioned where the money came from to buy such luxury items if it was not corruption from the people.
This is only a part of the image leaked to the outside, in fact, when knowing the inside story, many people will be extremely shocked, surprised and find it hard to imagine the wealth of the family of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
An internal source added, “Ms. Ly, To Lam’s wife, only goes to see beautiful houses and villas on the street. If she likes them and the owner want to sell them, she buys them all, regardless of the price.”
About four years ago, when Vietnam was struggling to fight the Covid 19 pandemic, tens of thousands of Vietnamese people lost their lives in a short period of time, to the point that many crematoriums were operating at full capacity day and night without being able to cremate the bodies, To Lam, when he was still the Minister of Public Security, still leisurely enjoyed gold-plated grilled beef and expensive premium wine in the capital London, with a cost of up to hundreds of millions of VND per meal.
The Party always deceives the people with the slogans “Diligence, Thrift, Integrity, Uprightness” but in reality, these top leaders are the “worms” and “Officials take everything from the people” – exactly as former Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan concluded.
