QUICK VIEWS

Assault issue

CHRISTOPHER Pryde says “Section 274 of the Crimes Act states that a person commits a summary offence if he or she unlawfully assaults a person and can be sentenced to one year imprisonment” (FT/4/10/19). Is this law applicable only to teachers? DAN URAI

Power creation

FSC management should go into full-time electricity generation. You already got lots and lots of fuel. You will need a few more steam boilers and steam turbines and generators. If you need assistance you can always ask Hasmukh Patel. For power generation you need less equipment than you need for making sugar. SUKHA SINGH

By the law

US House speaker Nancy Pelosi said “No one is above the law and the president will be held accountable” (Seven News 4/10). That is how the rules are applied in a true democracy. Without fear or favour regardless of one’s status.

Flying Fijians

LUCKY our Flying Fijians beat the Georgians on Thursday. I was worried the flights would have been delayed after my Tovats at CAAF compound had tackled a plane had we lost.

Teacher issues

WITH the way things have been going, I wonder if we are discouraging people from becoming teachers?

After festivals

WHO is responsible for clearing all the piles of litter left behind after festivals? The organisers, stall owners, contractors or town/city councils?

In Lautoka, after the Farmers Carnival awareness about littering, what changed when the Sugar Festival ended? I understand that closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras were used during the Sugar Festival. Was that used to curb littering as well? MOHAMMED IMRAZ JANIF Natabua, Lautoka

New writers

I WOULD love to see an increase in new writers contributing to letters to the editor in the not too distant future. I’m grateful to senior writers such as Allen, Lingam, Sukha, Simon, Savenaca, Tukai, Timoci and many others. An increase in new writers will be an indicator that the pen is still mightier than the sword.

Nail on head

“WE are running our schools like dictators and our children have a lot of fear” (FT/4/10/19). The Education Ministry deputy secretary hits the nail on the head. DAN URAI
