After reading about the plight of the MOW employees in Ha'apai, I confirmed something I have suspected for a very long time. My psychiatrist is right. I am an idiot and I do have multiple personalities. I can be angry, empathize and laugh within a minute's time. I am pretty sure I am serious about this statement. - Tama Foa

Inbetween the lines, we are supposedly the envy of other lower remittance sending nations who couldnt match us. - Dr. E. L Saafi

I'm deeply concerned with PSA's manipulation over the list of its proposed Ministers for an interim Government. I must agree with Ana Paea's comment at this stage. It is fair to say that PSA wants solid power. We supported your fighting for fairness and justice but we cannot endorse your political manipulation. - Velangilala Tupou

The economy is constantly in shambles largely due to the ongoing pillaging by the Royal Children. Any country...’s leader with a half-awake conscience should be embarrassed when the remittance is equal to or more than the GDP itself. Let us not dwell on family bonds that we ignore the theft within the ruling family. - Tama Foa
