Your views Kudos to Shratika Naidu
‘A GOOD NEWSPAPER IS A NATION TALKING TO ITSELF’
Jioji Toronibau, Tunuloa, Cakaudrove
It is heartening to read that we have some very devoted and hard working reporters in Fiji Sun newsrooms. Shratika Naidu, the editor in the Northern Division is one such person.
She is amply academically qualified and fully understands her responsibility to report accurately to provide reliable and credible news for readers..
Sharika Naidu is 33 years of age, married and has a child. She has developed the skill to manage multifarious work pressures, such as meeting the deadline , and also keeping in touch with her family responsibilities.. Under criticism she keeps quiet and continues to do her job because she knows she is working for the people of Fiji !
Her ability to speak iTaukei language is a great asset along with her Hindi & English. She can directly touch the hearts of the people she is dealing with. North must be very proud to have a journalist of this caliber. I wish Sharika and other young journalists all the very best for the World News Day.
Rape stigma
Edwin Sandys, Suva
It is really sad reading that last month there were 18 cases of alleged rape reported. It is even worse to read that the victims know or are related to the accused. Worse still is the fact that most of the victims are under 18 years of age.
I am going to ask the Government to bring back corporal punishment to deter the perpetrators. In rape cases, the victims are hurt and punished for life – a stigma which will be with them for the rest of their lives. Meanwhile, the accused will spend a few years in jail, but are back on the streets. Please bring back corporal punishment so that the accused also feel the pain for their actions so that they will think twice about reoffending.
Come on Fiji, stand up and be counted by speaking out against this inhumane treatment.
TRAFfiC LIGHTS Lautoka
Narayan Reddy,
Why does the Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) replace non-working traffic lights with a temporary roundabout in Lautoka City? First, the FRA replaced the traffic lights near Mobil Service Station with a small erected roundabout. Now, there is a temporary sign of barricades to replace the nonoperative traffic lights near the bus station. Lautoka residents are not second class citizens of Fiji. Lautoka is the second city and it’s about time the FRA gets its act together and replace the traffic lights with new lights. Please, don’t take Lautoka back to the 70s.
