One content of Official Dispatch No. 11/CD-TTg on ensuring a civilized, safe, and economical lifestyle in religious and belief activities during the Lunar New Year and the 2024 Spring Festival, which Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has just signed and issued, is to eliminate superstition, including the burning of votive paper.
Propose that the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and mass organizations actively join hands to propagate and mobilize the implementation of a cultural, civilized, safe, healthy, and economical lifestyle in religious and belief activities, not to burn and use votive paper and votive paper widely, causing waste and expense, and to eliminate social evils, backward customs, profiteering, and superstition in festivals.
There are many festivals, but there are also many that are transformed into superstitious activities. Among those superstitious activities, there are many cadres and party members. Let's say it straight, don't avoid it.
As for burning votive paper, many officials and party members burn it in an evil way, which is an outdated custom.
To eliminate superstition from civilized life, first of all, cadres and party members must set an example.
To put it bluntly again, when people look at the activities of officials and party members and see clearly that many people have behaviors and activities that show superstition and do not comply with the Prime Minister's instructions, those officials and party members are not worthy in the eyes of the people.
It is time to have regulations to discipline officials and party members who have superstitious behaviors and activities.
Another content in the Prime Minister's Telegram is not to organize spring outings, festivals, or New Year greetings that affect work time and efficiency, absolutely do not attend festivals during working hours, and do not use public vehicles to attend festivals, except in cases of performing duties.
A brand new case is causing a "fever" on the media channels, an official in Ha Tinh drove a public car with a blue license plate to the airport to pick up his child from Ho Chi Minh City, the car turned on its priority lights and honked its horn very "impressively", as if welcoming a high-ranking leader.
This case is clearly wrong, and also reminds many others not to use public vehicles for personal purposes. If you want to go to festivals or temples, do it yourself, do not use public vehicles.
Celebrating the New Year with thrift, cadres and party members must set an example in practicing thrift. Excessive eating and drinking, wastefulness is uncivilized and lacking in culture.
The folk saying "the cadre goes first, the country follows", in this case is very appropriate.
