COVID-19, assistance
Pre-COVID-19 picture
TAI J. Smith, in regards to your concern raised on 8/7/21, the picture was taken during the pre-COVID-19 period, hence, you could not see a mask on my face.

God bless Fiji.

Community assistance
I TAKE my hat off to FRIEND Fiji for the good work done in the Western Division, during these trying times.
Their ability to show that they’re an organisation for the common people says a lot.
This will surely not go unnoticed. Thank you, US Embassy, for the generous assistance.
You have given hope to the 2300 families who have been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Madam Sashi Kiran, your ability to relate to and serve our grassroot communities is truly amazing.
I wonder if you have ever considered contesting in the next national general election?
I believe you will make a good Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation.
Congratulations once again to you and the team and thank you for your endurance and sacrifice.

Putting people first
READING the opinion piece ‘Putting the people first’ ( FT 9/7 ) made me wonder how many politicians do that?
It would be good if The Fiji Times did a survey to get the public perception on it.
I believe the public reaction will be quite revealing.

Please listen
WE, the Fijian people, have been speaking out against policies that have exacerbated the country’s coronavirus crisis.
Mr Government, sir, you must listen.
Fijians are dying, the daily positive cases have surpassed our country code and people are suffering because of your flawed strategy, alongside your unwillingness to acknowledge or act on the people’s plea.
Mr Government, sir, vakarorogo mada, kerekere! WISE MUAVONO Balawa, Lautoka
Rising figures
HOW are we supposed to trust the figures of rising cases, taking into consideration “no lockdown”.
Our Government, which prides itself on many things, cannot be so ignorant to the stats and the situation of our country.
Come on, give us the real facts that make sense. Do not create the panic yourself while telling the general public not to panic.
