15/3/15
Recently, there have been some Party and State’s
leaders who’re using facebook as a channel to support the management and
administration. The reaction of public is very good, people spend much praise
for a new working style, but there are also a lot of different opinions...
On February 28, the Minister of Ministry of Health,
Ms Nguyen Thi Kim Tien had officially announced and confirmed that the Fanpage
(https://www.facebook.com/botruongboyte.vn) is the only official Facebook Fanpage
of the Minister of Ministry of Health. Talking to the press, the Minister said:
"By setting up Facebook Fanpages, I want to hear thoughts, demands and even
frustrations, initiatives on disease prevention, health care for people. Besides
I want to share with people the guidelines, policies and activities and the difficulties,
hardship of the health sector to draw sympathy from people, so everyone can share
and accompany with us. Using social networking takes much of my time so I’m
mostly on Facebook at night. There are some problems that I can solve immediately
but still some things that beyond my jurisdiction or not in my area."
Until now, the Minister Nguyen Thi Kim Tien is the
first minister to publicly address her facebook account with the public.
Nowsaday, there are a lot of Party and State’s
leaders managers who are using Facebook to
support for work. Some of them had openly addressed their personal facebook,
drawing attention of public opinion. If Nguyen Thi Kim Tien is known as the first
Minister who publicly address the Facebook Fanpage to serve for work, Mr Bach
Ngoc Chien, Vice president of Nam Dinh province is considered the first provincial leaders to publicly
address his personal facebook to serve for jobs. On his personal facebook page,
he wrote about his first 100 days at work on his new position.
Also on the Facebook Fanpage, Mr Chien shows that he have been exchanging and receiving opinions of people for his working fields. There are even some people who would like to work with him directly to give suggestion, he answered and gave an specific appointment on comments. His Facebook also posted a lot of information on culture and tourism in the province of Nam Dinh.

Mr. Khuat Viet Hung, the Deputy chairman of the
National Traffic Safety Committee is also frequently using personal facebook for
jobs. On the Facebook page, he not only shares links of articles related to
traffic safety, but he also shows all the information that is reflected on the
internet and social networking. Most recently, Mr Hung hasn’t solved a problem
properly and been criticized on newspapers, Hung has sincerely written on the
Facebook to apologize.
Use
facebook effectively
Regarding on the leaders’ use of social networking
for work, Dr. Luong Hoai Nam
said that many senior politicians, social, religious, cultural and technical
activists, businessmen around the world are participating social networks with
roles as individuals – citizens and relative independence in their position of
power and management. A lot of presidents, prime ministers, parliamentarians
around the world (including Russian President Putin and Prime Minister Medvedev)
have been joining the social network actively. Mr Lee Hsien Loong on Twitter,
Facebook is "Lee Hsien Loong citizen" rather than "Singapore Prime
Minister Lee Hsien Loong." He could post his selfie pictures taken at the
Madame Tussauds museum with his wax statue without any criticism and people
feel even closer to him. In late 2013, when riots of some Indian workers
occurred in Singapore, through
social networking, Mr Lee Hsien Loong issued a clear message that the majority
of foreign workers comply with the laws of Singapore
and urged Singapore
people to stay calm. The important message had reached millions of people in
Singapore faster and larger than traditional media channels, although
"citizen Lee", "Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong," "the
government of Singapore "not really a ...
According to Prof. Dr. Chi Nghia Do, Head of Public Relations and Advertising, Academy of Journalism and Communication, it should be considered carefully to have the official information page of the senior leaders. If you do, there must be guidelines and do so effectively. "I came to Austria, Austrian Prime Minister is also having personal Facebook Fanpage. The Facebook Fanpage is directed by the Office of the Prime Minister with 4 experts who are directly performing contents by posting articles, answering comments… it means that they have mechanisms to work properly. Most recently, the Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong had "chat" with the public via his personal Facebook Fanpage and that help to solve many hot problems of society, to relieve public frustration and call on sympathy with the work of the leader of state. Applying this working way is good but we have to study carefully to avoid unexpected mistakes./.

Facebook intends to have a major impact on politics
Vietnam is very open, we can access all social network in Vietnam
Since the advent of Facebook, the general public is more connected to politics than ever before
Now in Vietnam, instead of watching TV or searching the Internet for the latest political news, Facebook users can go directly to a politician’s fan page for the most up-to-date information
Because politicians are more accessible to the public via Facebook, they receive almost immediate feedback about their stances on the issues from people.
In an effort to reach a larger audience and speak directly to supporters, politicians often subvert the press by posting messages on their own Facebook pages
In Vietnam Facebook has increased the political mobilization of young people, in particular students. So this is one the best way to connect with the people.
Mark Zuckerberg’s creation opened a new avenue for politicians to be more real and for voters to let them know what’s on their minds
But we should have some measures to avoid abuse of Facebook for bad personal purposes.
I agree with Mr Hoang Lan, it's really necessary in Vietnam.
