Knowing a business was illegally subdividing and selling land in Phu Quoc, Vu Van Nam and three fellow reporters threatened and extorted billions of dong.

The operator of Casino Corona and several resorts in Phu Quoc, including Vinpearl, Discovery, VinOasis, and Safari, reported losses exceeding 564 billion VND in the first half of the year, averaging over 3 billion VND daily.

A group of tourists was swept away by waves while swimming at a beach in Ward 7, Phu Quoc Special Economic Zone. Four were rescued, while one remains in critical condition.

The two aircraft, delivered on the morning of 19/8, bring Sun PhuQuoc Airways closer to completing its 8-aircraft fleet. Ticket sales are expected to begin in October, with commercial operations commencing in November.
