A Vietnamese pilot (阮阿堅) participated in the campaigns, helping to spread the word to visitors in Chinese and Vietnamese and posting anti-bribery signs around the booths to help people see the pitfalls of bribery.
In order to remind the public about the many forms of bribery behaviors and the procedures for reporting from real-life situations, pilots and tourists also collaborated to create anti-bribery posters. A visitor said that she didn't know that participating in a temporary employment at an election campaign, changing his or hers household registration to a certain candidate's constituency, etc. constituted vote bribing until after joining the promotional campaign.
