Request of Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung to the ministries and departments concerned with the authority to review regulations related to inadequate land and if necessary, to modify the Constitution appropriate to the situation and needs related to land now in the country only as a transient breeze to ease and remove fuses storing up resentment in the hearts of people throughout the country in general and people in the district Tien Lang in particular. The law is not strict, or that there is a greater force behind his Prime Minister?
