Editor,

It is common knowledge to students of Tongan history that our parliament had its fair share of libelous, seditious, or simply lying members in the past.

It is also common knowledge that the Tongatapu people resorted to violence, looting, arson and murder to sort out matters of politic and property in the past few hundred years.

Disrespect to the Royal family, the nobility and among each other has become a normality in certain circles not just in our days.

But one thing seems to have totally diappeared over the last hundred years, the " kai tangata" , or will this be the next item on the agenda for the seditious-rioters-looters-arsonists.

A dismayed but fortunately Vava'u Citizen

Heinz Koester
