BE PATRIOTIC!

As a concerned youth of this country, I have seen the lack of interest in youths towards our nation. Today, when we critically analyse Fiji, we are amazed with the developments that have taken place in a relatively short period of time.

It is hard to make people understand the phase of development Fiji is currently going through.

Isn't this visible evidence of how Fiji is and what it has offered the people of Fiji?

Some people make intolerant comments against this country. They say that Fiji is already in so much debt and that tourism is the only means of revenue and that if tourism collapses, Fiji's economy will also collapse. People further question, what is the Government doing about it? Ask yourselves what are you doing about it? Rather than finding a solution about it, people are going around making negative comments about Fiji. This beautiful island nation has catered for different cultural groups who are permanent residents in Fiji.

I still cannot understand why people make negative comments about Fiji on social media and other platforms. If you don't like what Fiji is offering you, don't go around making an issue out of it.

Every country has its flaws, no country is perfect. It's the people living in the country who make life harder to be lived. One should be always proud of their country and be patriotic. Be proud of Fiji and what it has offered you from birth.

This land of beauty; respect it like your mother. Herleen Kumar will receive a Philips Portable Radio with a CD Player from Courts
