Editor,

Thank you for telling what is basically true about this, so called "short work week". Only Tongan Politics can have the pleasure of working less and have less responsbility and accountability but still get paid more than the average Civil Servant who relies on their every selfish decisions made in Parliament. Seems like they will need more time off trying to shuffle around and see what the future of Tonga would be like, when a vacuum of power and prestige is slowly fading away.

With more sad news of His Majesty's ailing health, Tonga's future lies in the balance and an end of an era of a much respected King. The future of Tonga, I hope will not fade with His Majesty's legacy and this so called "short work week" would mean Less days but More outcome towards the people of Tonga.

All the best for His Majesty's health and lots of respect, from a Fervant Civil Servant to His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV.

Yours Faithfully,

William Mariner
