New variant
ANOTHER new Covid-19 variant has been detected. They call it the Neo CoV. Any guess what the next one will be called?
No gratitude
NO word of thanks from the top for our hardworking health workers toiling every day exposing their health to risks while dealing with the Covid-19. They deserve a huge pat on the back every now and then. Memo to MPs: Most of the health workers are voters too!
Down memory lane
THEN Chief Minister Michael Somare hands out PNG flags to school children in 1974, a year before PNG got independence from Australia and he became the first Prime Minister. A public holiday on Feb 26 will mark the first anniversary of his death last year.
Thought for today
WHEN you mature, it is not because of your age. It’s deeper than that. It is about how you see and understand things, the way you consider others, the way you communicate and react, the things you value and the way you represent yourself. Everyone grows old but not everyone is growing up.
Top quote
“PROVIDING high-quality health care in PNG is challenged by geographical remoteness, lack of access to clean running water, lack of equipment, and other vital resources that impact service delivery. This kind of support is especially needed in the farthest and most remote regions of PNG.” – Australia’s High Commissioner, Jon Philp.
