Reading passion

I RECALL my school days, rushing to the shop early in the morning and waiting patiently for the Kaila! newspaper to arrive. Three days of savings just to get hold of the Kaila! newspaper. The colourful pages, errorfree jokes, celebrities, movies, wrestlers, current affairs and whatnot. The whole weekend was taken out for reading and pasting wrestlers’ pictures in the bedroom. It’s been years since I left high school but my reading passion remains like solid rock. When Wednesdays come, I jump to the Kaila! section and smile. I say to myself “This is where it all started”.

Political character

HEARD in the PBS NewsHour (20/6) that “Nixon and Trump were so alike: Nixon was about Nixon and Trump about Trump”. Wonder whether any of our leaders fit that character mould?

Brawling youths

YOUTHS brawling in a video near Raiwai housing, get yourself a cane knife each and go swing it at the cane fields instead of acting like hooligans.

Greatest CEO

WITH a record $96 million profit, I think, Mr Hasmukh Patel you have every right to call yourself the greatest CEO in Fiji. Please use the money to pay off all EFL outstanding loans and reduce the electricity charges. The workers try to find out why you people are getting a pay rise instead of a bonus. Thanks.

Virus lessons

THE permanent secretary for the Ministry of Health, Dr James Fong, could not say it any clearer (FT 21/06) when he stated the people of Fiji would be poorer if they fail to learn from the lessons of our experience during the pandemic and the tragedy of losing lives to the virus when certain sectors of our population continue to refuse to be vaccinated. I feel that easy access to social media has been the principal contributing factor for this resistance. Just saying. EMOSI BALEI

Roadworks

MANY roads are being fixed but many more are getting potholes again. I wonder why? NARAYAN REDDY Lautoka
