BILLS PAID

Has the cabinet approved full payment of a recently taken medical trip as a matter of government policy? Does this also include the medivac and allowances?

ABANDONED

People took to social media first and not the police to seek help for a person with disability abandoned in a rural village. Why not use the opportunity and get a few likes while helping the person?

TRUCKS

Another white truck used for hauling gravel and soil was involved in an accident in Tufulele. Last time, two were involved in separate accidents along the Cross Island Road near Siumu.

ARRIVALS

Visitor arrivals are predicted to increase in the coming months. Trips from New Zealand will increase, and so will those from Australia. But 80 per cent are not what the authorities rate as tourists.

DISASTER

Children packed in the tray of a pickup shouting faster, faster, is surely a recipe for disaster. Especially, when driving in the night.

COLOUR

A new innovation helps people detect sexually transmitted infections. A condom has been designed to change colour. The idea took shape in 2015. It may reach Samoa in 2035 when there is a changed mindset.
