Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corp. (FHS) has apologized for causing an environment disaster in central Vietnam and promised to pay US$500 million in compensation, the Vietnamese government said Thursday afternoon.
FHS, a subsidiary of Taiwan's Formosa Plastics, has been in hot water over the past two months after hundred of tons of fish washed ashore in April in four central Vietnamese provinces Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue. The steel mill is in its final stage of construction in Ha Tinh's Vung Ang Industrial Zone.
More than 100 scientists, including foreign experts, joined an investigation into the mass fish deaths, Minister Mai Tien Dung, Chairman of the Office of the Government, said at a long-awaited press conference in Hanoi Thursday afternoon.
They found out that industrial waste containing phenol, cyanide and iron hydroxides in the water killed the fish. The source of the waste was traced back to FHS, according to Minister Dung.
FHS on June 28 took responsibility for the "serious environmental incident," after multiple meetings between Vietnam's environment ministry and related agencies and FHS as well as Formosa Plastics, Dung said.
The company committed to apologize to the Vietnamese people and government for the disaster and pay VND11.5 trillion (US$500 million) in compensating local people's economic losses, supporting them to find news jobs and treating polluted sea environment, he said.


It also promised to repair its waste treatment system and cooperate with responsible government agencies to monitor sea environment.
FHS would suffer legal punishments if it repeated violations of Vietnam's environment protection regulations, Dung said.
In a letter made public hours before the press conference, Chuan Yuan-Cheng, chairman of FHS, said that the investigation had found that subcontractors' faults during the trial phase of operation had killed the fish.
"We respect the government's investigation results and are cooperating with the authorities to handle and mitigate the consequences," he said in the letter written in Vietnamese.

Put that ganja on the market @2800 a unit. That'd give some breathing room.

Yeah I got laid off out of nowhere, whacked, scored another contract immediately which was then put on hold due to declining oil prices, last month that contract was cancelled. In the middle of all this shit, the same company which laid me off called me back, offered me a job back, flew me to houston, then told me either move here or no job, so I flew back home. Money been gone since February. I am waiting on an offer now and have my name in for a few local contract tenders so something is fucking breaking soon. I always remember old friends of mine saying they were broke, but broke was you had a few hundred dollars, with this bullshit I entered a new phase of broke, there is zero fucking money as in no dollars. Just vaped some hash re: the novel

It's not the paper itself, it's the fact that we give too much power to those who can claim more of it- and use it to make others do their dirty work.

Yessir. The concept -- your labor on a piece of paper is good. Unfortunately the fuckers that make the rules are bought and paid for by the ones with the money. Tell me how that works out lmao.
