Focus on doing right

AFTER more than 70 years of British-Australian rule, Independence was given to us without bloodshed on Sept, 16, 1975.
Thanks to our founding fathers, the British Monarchy and the Australian government for a violentfree independence.
Despite being a nation with many tribes, we followed the Westminster system and we made it this far.
Any system of government is as good as its people and leaders.
Despite our challenge in terms of different languages, English, Pidgin and Motu have gotten us through many years.
Our progress has been determined by many factors.
We will be celebrating our golden jubilee in 2025.
What many Papua New Guineans need is discipline, high moral standards, transparency, honesty and humility among other qualities.
We should not do the wrong things and say they are right. We should not do the wrong things and repeatedly pray to God for forgiveness.
