The National, Monday January 6th, 2014

 THE removal of traditional  PNG carvings by the Parliament Speaker is a good  issue  to discuss by the public. 

In the traditional sense, the carvings are important to the public and also to the tourists who are interested in such things.

Therefore, the national leadership  should consider improving the museum section  of  the  public sector. It is not necessary to have many carvings in the parliament.

The government should enlarge the museum section  to  accommodate  more of the traditional carvings not only in the nation’s capital but also in the provinces.

These actions will ensure that PNG’s unique carvings are preserved in our society as many of us are becoming more and more secular and westernised. 

Let  the  government lead the way to improve and enlarge our museum section to defuse any tension because of varying views about such actions prevailing at the parliament currently.
