Director of Nha Nam was suspended from office.

Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh was suspended from his position as director of Nha Nam book company after apologizing and admitting to his intimate behavior that caused misunderstandings with a female employee.

On the evening of April 18, Mr. Duong Thanh Hoai - representative of the company's board of directors - announced the decision to suspend the position of Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh (general director). The unit said it would coordinate with the competent authorities and Mr. Nhat Anh to clarify and determine the nature and extent of the incident, the level of damage to the related parties and the company. "From there, we will have appropriate handling and disciplinary measures against Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh," said Mr. Hoai.

The company representative apologized for the unfortunate incident that happened to the former employee, causing damage to her mental and psychological health. "We were wrong in not receiving information in a timely manner and handling it properly. We apologize for this weakness and are willing to fully bear all costs related to her mental and physical losses," Mr. Hoai added.

Nha Nam apologized to all authors and partners for being indirectly affected. The company also thanked readers for giving them the opportunity to face the "current situation within the company", and pledged to ensure that similar incidents would not recur. The company removed Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh's apology posted early this morning on the company's fanpage.

Some people commented that the way Nha Nam's board of directors handled the situation was reasonable but a bit late. Previously, when the rumor spread, the unit refused to respond to the press and deleted opposing comments.

The announcement was made nearly a day after Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh issued an apology on Nha Nam's fanpage, but it was not supported by the literary community or readers. Many people commented that the apology was insincere and only aimed at appeasing partners and readers. Many readers said that if the matter was not clarified, they might boycott and stop buying the company's books.

On April 16, rumors about Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh, 50 years old, spread after Mr. Dang Hoang Giang - an author who had long collaborated with Nha Nam - stopped working with this unit.

Mr. Giang did not specify the reason for the suspension of cooperation. However, many people spread a letter said to be from Mr. Dang Hoang Giang to Nha Nam, in which director Nguyen Nhat Anh was accused of having inappropriate words and physical contact with a female employee. On the evening of April 17, translator Tran Tien Cao Dang announced the suspension of cooperation, asking the company to speak up. After Mr. Tran Tien Cao Dang, a number of authors also announced that they had stopped cooperating with Nha Nam.
