MELBOURNE, 15 October 2022: Dr. Tien Kieu, Labor Member for South Eastern Metropolitan, launched his reelection campaign today at Springvale’s popular Vietnamese Maxim Saigon Restaurant, with massive participation from locals and supporters. The Vietnamese restaurant was a perfect setting for the launch as its ambiance mixed well with the area’s cultural ethos. In fact, it’s the heart of the South Eastern suburb’s multicultural tribute to Victoria and Australia.
The sober Dr. Tien Kieu spoke about his priorities, followed by other Labor leaders. The Victorian Parliament site says, ” Before entering Parliament, Tien was a researcher in quantum physics, including fundamentals and quantum computing. He is still an adjunct professor at Swinburne University in the area of theoretical physics and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics.
Tien was prompted to run for Parliament to contribute to public life and shape policies by using his life experience as a refugee and his strong background in science and mathematics.
The priorities Tien has for his community are employment and job security, better housing and transport. He believes in education with a focus on high participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for all genders.
Tien’s vision for Victoria’s future is as a place that is prosperous and world-leading in science, technology and innovation. He wants us to face and meet the rising challenges of the world including cyber security, bio security, and to be able to protect our technological sovereignty.
The areas of public policy that he is most passionate about are STEM education, multicultural affairs, and refugee and asylum seeker issues.”
Dr. Tien Kieu went around every table with people from different communities to pose for photographs. The evening’s menu of six courses of Vietnamese dishes with music added to the campaign launch joy.
There were a large number of Indians and South Asians who extended their support to Dr. Tien Kieu. There were other Labor MPs and activists who were there to support their mate.
