The man who claimed to have the ability to "pray for rain" for Ho Chi Minh City apologized

On April 16, a representative of My Duc District Police (Hanoi) said that the unit had invited Mr. Le Minh Hoang to work related to the content of his introduction to Ho Chi Minh City to "pray for rain" and help him. Southern people escaped drought.

Specifically, the leader of My Duc District People's Committee said that after receiving information that Le Minh Hoang residing in the locality claimed to have the ability to pray for rain for Ho Chi Minh City and provided a written confirmation that he had prayed for him. Farmers of My Thanh Agricultural Cooperative suffered less damage in the crop, the district asked the People's Committee of My Thanh commune and the People's Committee of Bot Xuyen commune to report the incident.

Accordingly, in the above document, Mr. Le Minh Hoang wrote, after a period of observation, while the rice was ripening in August 2023, there was a strong wind, Mr. Hoang prayed to reduce damage to cooperative members.

My Thanh Commune People's Committee also worked with Mr. Dinh Quang Thanh, Director of My Thanh Agricultural Cooperative and confirmed that the signature and stamp on the document provided by Mr. Hoang were indeed Mr. Thanh's.

At the same time, the People's Committee of Bot Xuyen commune invited Mr. Le Minh Hoang to work.

According to the leader of the People's Committee of H. My Duc, the district is waiting for official reports from the above two communes. In the immediate future, Mr. Hoang apologized for publishing the documents. Mr. Hoang admitted his mistake and asked to withdraw the documents he sent.

According to Mr. Hoang, during the meeting, he was emphasized by the authorities that anything related to unverified red marks should not be posted on social networks.

"Regarding my report, they asked me where I could get the detailed numbers on reducing crop damage for the My Thanh Cooperative farmers. I said because I love the farmers, I went to the field to lie down and watch the wind. "At what time did the rice fall? From then on, I was able to record the time like that," Mr. Hoang said.

Also according to Mr. Hoang, the authorities explained to him that whether this year's natural disasters are reduced compared to the previous year or not must be verified by scientific agencies, and the cooperative director alone cannot. Therefore, Mr. Hoang admitted his mistake and was asked to withdraw the reported documents related to the seal of My Thanh Agricultural Cooperative.

Regarding praying for rain for Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Le Minh Hoang informed that the places he sent the introductory letter from Dr. Nguyen Hoang Diep, Director of the Center for Translation, Cultural Services and Science - Technology of the Union Association of Vietnam Science and Technology Associations about the ability to pray for rain, so far all have said they are waiting for leadership's opinions.

When asked: "Why do you have to wait for an invitation from the local government to pray for rain for Ho Chi Minh City?", Mr. Hoang said he was worried that if he went on his own without local support It could be dangerous for thousands of people to come out to watch.

"I didn't set up a group to pray for rain, but I just asked the government to send officials to take me to a few places to ask people's opinions. After returning, I prayed for rain. I recited prayers for drought-stricken areas. I don't ask for anything more. I just ask people to calm down when they see me asking for rain and not rush out into the streets," Mr. Hoang shared.

Representatives of the local government acknowledged that perhaps coming from a purely agricultural homeland with mainly wet rice cultivation, the above incident arose.

"The district is assigning the internal affairs and religious affairs agency to further review the incident. In particular, in the case of Mr. Thanh signing and stamping the Cooperative's seal on Mr. Hoang's document, we will have appropriate handling," the leader said. People's Committee director H. My Duc said.

Previously, social networks were abuzz with a document signed by Dr. Nguyen Hoang Diep - Director of the Center for Translation, Cultural Services and Science - Technology under the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations. Introducing Mr. Hoang, "a person who has the ability to pray for rain but has not yet verified it" sent to the Ho Chi Minh City Irrigation Department.

The introductory text of Dr. Nguyen Hoang Diep has caused a stir in public opinion in recent days

Dr. Nguyen Hoang Diep also confirmed to the press that the above document was indeed sent by his agency. Mr. Le Minh Hoang came to meet him many times and asked the Center for Translation and Science and Technology to introduce him to the southern provinces and cities that are suffering from drought. However, whether Mr. Hoang's ability to do that or not depends on practice, Mr. Diep has not tested it. In the document, he also made it clear that he had not confirmed it.
