"Signs are the property of the enterprise, why destroy them without permission?" - that is the opinion of Mr. Nguyen Viet Hai, Chairman of Son Hai Group, when asked about the vandalism of the sign "Son Hai Group commits to 10-year warranty" on Nghi Son - Dien Chau highway.

Mr. Hai also affirmed that this sign is the property of the business and no one is allowed to destroy it.

The act of vandalism of Son Hai Group's property is too brazen.

Hundreds of comments expressed surprise: "Since when have honest businesses contributing to the development of transportation been treated like this? I request the police to investigate and handle this seriously as a deterrent," said Hung Thinh.

Many readers commented that this action proves that the vandals are too brazen. "We request that the authorities intervene...", Pha suggested.

Some readers think this is an act of vandalism, causing insecurity on the highway.

Another reader could only sigh: "Doing good deeds is not peaceful."

The quality of the road that Son Hai Group has been constructing for a long time has been compared by some people. Many people have praised this group and considered it a model for other businesses to follow, to build a strong and prosperous country.

"I drove on Son Hai highway and found the road surface so beautiful, the safety warning signs are very clear. I support corporations that do business with a heart for the country and the people," said Lansg.

Sign or notice board?

After Tuoi Tre Online published the article "Son Hai Group shocked by a group of people blatantly vandalizing many highway signs", the issue of whether the signs of this group were written in accordance with regulations was hotly debated.

Reader Phu Duong believes that this is not vandalism, but the removal of illegal text on the sign. "Probably following the request of the management agency because no one dares to do that," he said.

Another reader named Nam also agreed, saying that this is probably not vandalism, but posting an advertisement for Son Hai Group's warranty on a traffic sign is illegal, so it is right that people delete that line.

If a business wants to write a 10-year warranty, it must write it on a separate board and place it in another suitable location.

However, many people have opposed this view because they believe that this is the property of the enterprise. If it is the property of the enterprise, then any agency or organization that wants to change it must have a written notice, and cannot arbitrarily destroy it.

"If Son Hai Group installs signs that do not comply with regulations, the responsible management agencies will have to request Son Hai Group to remove and replace the signs.

The removal of many traffic signs as presented by Son Hai Group above has signs of vandalism, which is reasonable. If not, it is a violation of the law. Such actions need to be clarified and handled according to the law," said Minh Chau.

Reader Nguyen Duc also agreed when he said that if Son Hai Group's sign is incorrect, only the authorities have the right to remove it.

"The authorities will notify Son Hai before removing it. There's no way they'll just remove it like that," Duc said.

Reader Dung gave a more cautious perspective: "In my opinion, we need to review whether road traffic signs allow the words "... warranty..." or not? If not, businesses can ask for permission to put up a separate sign.

What does Son Hai Group say?

Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online on the evening of November 1, Mr. Nguyen Viet Hai, Chairman of Son Hai Group, affirmed that this sign is the property of the enterprise. But it was designed by the enterprise according to the standards of the transportation industry with principles of ensuring safety, it is not a sign of the transportation industry.

Any unauthorized infringement is a violation of the law, so this corporation filed a criminal complaint with photos as evidence and sent it to Thanh Hoa Provincial Police.

"This is a notice sign, not a traffic sign. The content of this notice is the company's warranty period commitment, so that people can look at it to monitor the quality of the road built by Son Hai Group," said Mr. Hai.
