"Miss World project" violates construction rules

Thoi Son ecological tourist site, built for Miss World 2010 pageant and invested by Tien Giang Construction JS Company, has nine construction works, but six are unlicenced.

Tien Giang Department of Construction has reported four unlicenced works in this project to authorities and asked for guidance.

According to the Department of Construction, nine works belonging to Thoi Son project in My Tho city are under construction, but only three were licenced by My Tho People’s Committee in late 2009.

The other six works have been built illegally. All ongoing construction is at locations that are contrary to the approved plan.

“My Tho city only licenced three works to be built on land approved by the provincial government. Other works are being built on land that Hoang Kieu bought recently and are unlicenced,” My Tho Vice Chair Mai Thanh Minh told VNExpress newswire on May 21.

Minh added that authorities are now checking this project.

Tien Giang authorities approved the detailed plan for Thoi Son project in December 2009. My Tho licenced some works for this project in late 2009 and early 2010.

Tien Giang Department of Construction inspectors are investigating this project. It is expected that the Department will cancel this project with guidance from Tien Giang authorities in the next several days.
