Party support

WELL, Jan Nissar, never mind how good the FijiFirst party is, they have been in power for too long . Who knows, the new party might just make our lives a bit easier than what it is now. SUKHA SINGH

Here to stay

TWO calendar years have gone. COVID-19 is still here and mutating despite the availability of a number of vaccines. As worldwide cases surge, I wonder if medical experts would ever consider labelling COVID-19 as a lifestyle disease. MOHAMMED IMRAZ JANIF Natabua, Lautoka

Greetings 2022

GREETINGS of the New Year 2022. In the past two years, only one major event has taken the world by storm and that is COVID-19. Everyone is affected and no one is spared.

There are some good learnings out of this virus and there are many consequences on the global economy. One thing is very clear, the rich have continued to enter inside the place of worship to beg for mercy and the poorer have remained outside the place of worship to beg for mercy. Now, the virus will tell you who is rich and who is poorer. Who is inside and who is outside.

Water please

ISA, Water Authority of Fiji CEO, we don’t want to hear about statistics, we don’t want to hear about percentages and we don’t want to hear about financial year accounts. All we want is water from our taps. If you can’t do that, then do us all a favour and “jiko”.

Classroom ventilation

OUR esteemed Education Minister confidently mentioned on national television that Fiji’s schools had far better ventilation systems than most schools globally. May I humbly ask the madam minister as to how many worldwide educational institutions has she visited to authenticate her questionable claim? By the way, Premila Kumar is my second favourite minister after Dr Reddy. They are both very entertaining. NISHANT SINGH Lautoka

Teacher unions

NO offence to teacher unions. To date, may I ask, how many food packs, personal protective equipment, financial assistance, medicine, educational packs, of any form of assistance is provided to any student or family in our country?
