Between the Lines

LOUD

Construction work has been banned because of the noise associated with it and the disturbance it could cause churches. Has the government considered banning those cars with their speaker volumes to reach the moon?

OTHER INDUSTRIES

As of now, there is no clarity if other industries will be included in the Sunday ban. One thing is for sure: a lot of decisions are being made to appease people and are not very thought-through. Perhaps, the government will compensate all workers losing out on pay from other industries are included.

LOOSIES

The sale of loose cigarettes is well-known to the enforcement authorities. This becomes a bigger problem when the shops selling the loose cigarettes are selling them to children as young as 10 years old.

PRAYER DAY

It will be back to work for all government workers this week. Concerns have been raised that the newly designated day of prayer could become a reason for many to close offices and not be at work on Wednesdays.

VISA BOND

Hold your breath as the United States visa bond could get extended to Samoa and other countries. People will have to pay a bond of between US$5,000 and US$15,000 just to visit the US.

PRIORITY

People living in an area without water and power for years is not a priority, but an embassy in a nation that is not even Christian is.
