Proud of PSA also the nation
Proud of PSA also the nation - M T Tukala:
Thank you very much for your effort on what has been happening in our country. I am a civil servant for quite sometime as a young person. I witness what other fellow workers said. I have to do something to support myself as well as my family.
I am in New Zealand already working with other Tongan which they were nurses also other public services know how our fellow brothers and sisters face over there. I am really proud of PSA also the nation what they aim for. It was time to do something as they done nowadays.
Once again thank you for the initiatives and everyone who support our fellow workers. Make God bless everyone.
Regards - M T Tukala

Let the People Live!
Dear Editor,
Tonga has had a proud past with great monarchs like Queen Salote who never forgot from where her power came from - The People. I am a Canadian, married to a Tongan, I have seen the beautiful islands and their people.
The Tongan people are educated and many are making a difference all over the world. The present government must realize the future has come. It is up to the monarchy to wake up and save themselves or end up where most monarchs of the world went. Democracy will prevail now or later through chaos.
Most western countries had strong union growth when it was needed. Tonga needs that now so that the people can live to their potential.
We are proud of Sione Vuna Fa’otusia, from ‘Ha’ateiho for leading the people. - Peter Worthylake
