Previously, from the afternoon of September 8, on social networks appeared a clip recording the content of a conversation believed to be a family member of a death victim causing a stir. According to the content of the clip, a man who is said to be a relative of a female victim in the fire thinks that he has to spend money to bring the body back to his hometown for burial.

Specifically, this person said, when receiving the body, the family had to spend 6 million dong for the car to take it home, plus 2 million dong for cleaning the body, for a total of 8 million dong. While earlier, the Thuan An city government said that it would support this cost.

This clip was then shared quickly on social networks, causing many people to be angry and react strongly when they had to pay to receive the body, which is an "unacceptable" thing while the family has died. cool too big. Responding to PV VTC News, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, Vice Chairman of Thuan An City People's Committee (Binh Duong) said that there was a misunderstanding behind the victim's family saying they were not supported with money to take care of the aftermath. The family apologized and thanked the local government.

According to Ms. Hien, on September 8, many social networking sites such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok ... appeared a video of the family of a victim killed in the An Phu karaoke bar fire (Thuan An city) reacting because they did not received financial support, while the government said yes.

Immediately after posting, the video received special attention from the online community, all of whom were critical of the local government. "It's too bad for the local government to think so, no one would do that in this situation," said Hien.

According to Ms. Hien, it was all due to misunderstanding. Right from the time the fire broke out, the city's leaders promptly provided material and spiritual support to ease the pain and loss of the victims' families and loved ones.

Regarding material support, the locality supports 5 million VND for each injured person (11 people), each family of the deceased victim is supported 30 million VND (32 people). At the same time, the local government has also worked with the owner of the An Phu karaoke facility to request support.

"That's the problem, when we both spend support and work with the owner of the karaoke establishment. We told the owner to try to support the victims and they agreed to support the school. In case of injury, 5 million dong and all treatment costs are taken care of. For the family of the deceased victim, the owner of the facility will support 30 million dong to take care of the aftermath.

But because at that time the owner of the karaoke establishment was also impatient, when they met the victim's relatives, they gave money. And that person who gave it was not the real owner but just a friend of the owner, because the karaoke owner is being investigated for information. When they gave money to the victim's family, they did not say why. As for us, when giving money, there is information that the local money will support the initial step, and the after-sales costs will be given by the shop owner," Ms. Hien informed.

Because the time to receive the body is not the same, the location is also not the same because each person returns to a province. Therefore, the local government encourages the families of the victims to take the initiative to take care of it first and then calculate it later. The authorities could not hire a team to do all the work for 32 victims.

"The local government has to deal with too many problems, we have worked with the victim's family. After talking, the family thanked the local government," Ms. Hien said.

On September 11, talking to Tuoi Tre Online, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien also confirmed that there was no story that the local government did not support the victims in the fire. According to Ms. Hien, after understanding the incident, she contacted the man directly talking in the video and explained clearly to this person. After that, the man understood and thanked the Thuan An city government for their efforts to take care and timely support the family.
