Annoyed over porn claim
I REFER to the headline “Local porn rife in ENB” (Jan
16). I have lived and worked in Rabaul and Kokopo in East New Britain
province for 15 years before moving to Port Moresby recently. I am very
annoyed with the article as it is not the final report by Bernie Benson. It
is unfair to the vast majority of the East New Britain people to post this
article without completing your finding and investigation. East New Britain
people are amongst the best breed of people who are knowledgeable, skilful
and are assets to the province. My conclusion is that not all people of East
New Britain are involved in this. – Former Barike resident, Port Moresby
Regulate rental charges
I AM appalled to see the high cost of renting a decent house or flat in
towns and cities of PNG. It is unrealistic for a person who is earning
between K500 and K700 to rent a decent accommodation. Most houses and flats
are going for more than K500 a week! That is K2,000 a month. Therefore, most
people tend to live in settlements. The landlords and real estate agents are
charging the rental fee as they wish. It seems to me that it is unregulated
and therefore, the Government should do something about it. If this trend
continues, settlements in the cities and towns will eventually grow and who
knows what will happen next. – JP Waigi, Lae
Buck up, Telikom
CAN B Mobile or Telikom stop wasting money on colour advertisements and
instead use that money to improve its services? Since last December, we
cannot even talk for a minute without the line being cut off. It takes
another five minutes to get a line and before you know it, the line is
disconnected again. On Sunday (Jan 13), I had K6.48 left. But after sending
a text message, I found that I have only K2.84 left. This is daylight
robbery. I am not surprised if many B Mobile users are also encountering
this problem. Buck up, Telikom. – Digicel kam hariap, Tabubil
Monitor PMVs
I CALL on the Land Transport Board and Lae police to monitor the movement of
PMVs in the city. Any driver found not to be serving the intended route must
be hauled up and fined. If need be, ban repeated offenders. The authorities
must also ensure that the drivers and crews are properly attired, old and
torn seats are replaced, and rubbish and buai stains are removed. Finally,
the authorities must ensure that all PMVs are roadworthy. – Nelson Wareva,
Lae
Well done, Philip
I AM delighted by the action of the new MP for Menyamya Benjamin Philip. He
has made the right step by upgrading the deteriorating road. Please don’t
forget to team up with the Bulolo MP and plan jointly for a better service
delivery to the people of Bulolo and Menyamya district. – Eleo Dowa, Lae
