Between the Lines

WISH LIST

With the way things are panning out, asking for police involvement in cases where public funds have been misused is asking Santa for a million tala in cash for Christmas. Wasn’t something about transparency and accountability said at the beginning of the new administration’s tenure?

CHOSEN

A new press secretary may have already been chosen, as shown by the images from Pago. Just a heads up to those who wanted to apply for the post, a decision may have been made already.

SPAM

People dialling the 22222 number from their mobiles were in for a shock. Instead of saying police on top, the call destination was identified as suspected spam.

WORRYING

A four-year-old vending on busy Vaitele areas and her only supervision being an elder sibling below 10-years is a worrying site. There are laws against such acts. Set examples, stop the abuse of children.

FRIES

People buying fries from the restaurant with the golden arches were in for a shock. Instead of the long, thin and straight cuts, they found fries that looked like they were bought from a supermarket deli. The delay in the shipment is quite clear.

PRIORITIES

While politics and crime are causing an uproar in most of the world, in a neighbouring Pacific nation, the stepping down of a pageant winner because of body shaming seems to be the talk of the nation. Different priorities in different parts of the world.
