PNG hero
PNG student McVeigh Mainu, 19, (third right) attending the Navesau Adventist High School in Fiji was one of the nine recently recognised by Fiji Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu (center) for their bravery in arresting a 22-year-old man accused of robbery, assault and damaging property. They chased and cornered the man in the bush and held him until police arrived.
Kina talk
Talks of a Kina devaluation is rife, given the current status of the PNG economy. We need to export more to generate revenue for the national coffers.
Cash overflow
And imagine all that gold we own such as the ones in Porgera being exported in bulk right now when global prices have skyrocketed. We will have more cash thyan we need.
Still waiting
Small businesses are still waiting to access at their banks the K200 million promised by the Government to help them through this Covid-19 period.
All in vain
Dad waited in bed whole day Sunday for some sign of a feast or a gift to mark Father’s Day. Alas his family must have forgotten. He skipped work on Monday in protest.
Food for thought
Confidence is not thinking that you are better than everyone else. It’s realising that you have no reason to compare yourself to anyone else.
