Nguyen Tien Dung, member of the city Communist Party
Committee and newly-appointed deputy director of Ho Chi Minh City’s
Department of Transport who was shortlisted to run for the upcoming
city’s People’s Council election, suddenly died at 9:30 am at Cho Ray
Hospital today (May 3).
The news was announced by the transport department.
According to
preliminary information, Dung went up to the rooftop of his three-story
house in District 10 to watch the plumbers fix the water system but due
to dizziness, he fell down to the ground.
He was rushed to hospital for emergency care. But it was too late.
His body has been taken home for burial.
Dung was born in 1961
in An Giang southern province. He was appointed as deputy director of Ho
Chi Minh City’s Department of Transport just last month.
Dung also was chairman
of Saigon Transportation Mechanical Corporation’s (Samco) management
board and its Party committee secretary.
Dung is one of 161 nominees shortlisted to run for the city’s 8th People’s Council for the 2011 – 2016 term. The list is now therefore reduced to 160.
