Real estate lost its attractiveness and was not the leading asset class in 2023, according to the Vietnam Association of Realtors.

Speaking at the 2024 real estate forum organized in Hanoi last Friday by the association, its president, Nguyen Van Dinh, said: “The fall of real estate stemmed from uncontrolled development and lack of transparency and safety in the market over a long period of time.”

Between May 2022 and the end of 2023 the property market saw thousands of projects being suspended and many businesses shutting down with 80% of brokers quitting their jobs.

Ten people received life sentences Saturday for terrorism in deadly attacks on government offices in Dak Lak last year, according to a court verdict for 100 defendants in the case.

Among the defendants, aged 18-56, 53 people were charged with “terrorism against the people’s government.” Among them, H Wuen Eban and Y Sol Nie’s behaviors were considered to be especially dangerous, being the masterminds who coaxed others into attacking the People’s Committee offices in Ea Ktur and Ea Tieu communes in the Central Highlands province, resulting in nine deaths.

Both received life sentences from the Dak Lak People’s Court. Prosecutors previously recommended them death sentences.

(file) Humanitarian Aid Babies are being “delivered into hell” in Gaza with many others likely dying as a result of conflict with Israel and increasingly dire conditions in the enclave, UN humanitarians warned on Friday. Reiterating urgent international calls for a ceasefire, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that there have been nearly 20,000 births since the start of widespread Israeli bombardment in response to Hamas-led attacks in Israel that left some 1,200 dead and approximately 250 taken hostage. Chronic aid access problems have meant that Caesarean sections have been performed without anaesthetic while other women have been unable to deliver their stillborn babies because medical staff are overwhelmed, the UN agency said.
