A short clip recorded scenes of a young man dressed in his stylish suit with money attached to it have recently caught the attention of net citizens.

Photos cut from the clip.

The most important thing is the guy walking alone among the crowded streets of HCM City, holding a board saying, "Take what you like" (in both Vietnamese and English). Not surprisingly, after a few brief seconds, the entire amount over the guy was torn off.

Some people think that the intentionally shocking act of the young man was just to "show off" his wealth, while others express their admiration for his action.

The man in the clip was later identified as Phan Cong Chanh, an expert on real estate in the city.

Chanh said he recorded people's reactions. The message he wanted to convey through the clip was that people shouldn't be too greedy and they should understand that it was not easy to achieve everything in the world.

To perform the clip, he stuck many bank notes of various values worth nearly VND10 million (US$445).

Chanh said at first people hesitated but when they saw one man get some bills, they all rushed to snatch the money from his clothes and ran away laughing.

"I was not upset by people's reactions because it is not too different from my original prediction. But I hope people can understand more about the message," he said.

The reactions of people in Chanh's clip is different from the one recorded in the United States. People who looked wealthy grabbed bank notes stuck over the suit of a man in New York with the sign board "Take what you need" while a homeless man just took $2 he needed to buy food for himself and his dog.

Unlike in the US, the first person in Viet Nam to take off bank notes worth VND1.5 million ($66.8) was a shoe shiner, Chanh said.

While it's not clear the motivation of his action, the writer thinks that the man should just give money to poor people or homeless persons who were in need.
