CHEATS

A foreign national who only had US dollars was told to pay US$18 for a meal costing 18 tala by unscrupulous employees of an eatery. Luckily another customer intervened.

FUNNY

It was rather funny to hear the Finance Minister and Agriculture Minister deflect questions on the abuse of the funds in a Savaii constituency where they told people not to tarnish an MP’s name who is linked with the missing money.

TRIPS

Overseas trips for the government should be put on hold and the money should be used to improve health facilities since most things are focused on hosting CHOGM.

ACCIDENT

There was a serious accident at the lights just near Farmer Joe in Vaitele on Thursday night where three vehicles were involved. Speeding and reckless driving are still leading causes of road accidents.

PLAYGROUND

There is a lack of playgrounds for children. Villages and districts are requested to create playing grounds with amenities for children, so they can indulge in physical activity.

SCAM ALERT

There is another scam circulating on social media where it says to join and USP will provide free laptops. Please do not be fooled and stay vigilant.
