* Be more drastic to implement suspended projects 

As pointed out by voters, many approved projects in the areas of Bien Hoa city and Nhon Trach province are being delayed or being too behind schedule, which has caused great difficulties to the lives of local citizens. Because of these suspended projects, the locals could not carry out construction, repairing or land transfer; even, investment in electricity and water supply has been left unattended in many areas. Specifically, Sonadezi industrial zone project (Giang Dien waterfall) already took 5-6 years, the planning projects in quarter 6 and 7 of An Binh ward already took 20 years, the project of An Thai company has been left undeployed since 2004. In some wards within the area of Bien Hoa city, investment in resettlement zones has not been satisfactorily attended, which lead to the fact that beneficiaries of resettlement policy have no land and shelter whereas their estate properties had been requisitioned by the government, therefore are now living in renting rooms.
