The Vietnamese Government's view of the latest exodus
is not clear, but officials at central as well as local leve
are clearly turning a blind eye to it, and some are again
exploiting the refugees. Officials of the Vietnamese Public
Security Service (PSS) patrol the beaches, using speedboats
to intercept refugees along the thousand-mile long coast-
line.
There are reports of them charging five taels of gol
per boat to let the refugees through.
