We have no need for grandiose plans

Letters, Normal

I FAIL to understand the speech by the prime minister about PNG being a donor country to Pacific Island nations when he was in New Zealand.
I must say the PM gave a good example of the Alfred Adlers individual psychology concept of overcompensation.
What is obvious is PNG is known worldwide as a corrupt country from the top down to the grassroots.
Countries become donors based on their economical, social and political stability and strength.
PNG is not even halfway there and we rely a great deal on international donors to survive.
How can a country like PNG, where 85% of its population live below the poverty line, become a donor country?
Come on, PM, please watch what you say.
Your own people in Angoram, Maramuni, Star Mountains, Kuni, Dagua and the rest of the country are struggling to survive day after day.
Many places do not have basic services and infrastructure like aid posts or roads, forcing many people to walk for days to reach their villages or road to catch a PMV.
We need tangible and visible services, not grandiose plans driven by emotions and inferiority complex.
