WHOEVER created the headdress for Miss PNG Rachel Sapery James should hang his or her head in shame.
How on earth can her headdress be decorated with worn-out bird of paradise feathers?
Our country is unique and has a rich culture and traditions.
As a highlander, I am proud Miss PNG, who is from the New Guinea Islands, chose to use a headdress from my region.
But why use old feathers and worn-out fineries?
That is unacceptable and a shame.
