Interesting truth but in all honesty I have a very skeptical attitude towards 'announcements of success' in Nam. The press is heavily regulated and censored and there is an inherent unwillingness to shed negative light on many things. When a serious accident occurs, it is played down. When something good happens, it is exaggerated. It gets a bit tiresome at times, it even happens in my company. We built a small offshore platform that was a piece of dogcrap, allegedly sways in the wind, went over budget by around 30% ($18M) but was done with little expat involvement. As such the company sung from the rafters how successful the job was and the GM even sent an email round to all staff announcing the success and claiming it was built in budget which was a complete and utter lie. When bad news hits, it's covered up or played down.

However the fact that the World Bank's representative is non-Vietnamese does however add some credibility.
