I have no intention of engaging the doyen of Tongan journalists in arguing over how long is a short work week, suffice to say that my original public statement of defence has successfully quelled the swelling wave of angry letters from irate taxpayers who were misled by your original article alleging, amongst other things, that, "Tonga's parliament has decided to work less for more pay...." - Lopeti Senituli

I find it absolutely shocking and disappointing that Lopeti Senituli, the so-called Political Adviser to the Prime Minister Dr. Feleti Sevele, was accusing you of misinforming and misleading the public in connection with your comment on the working hours or days of Parliament. It is a simple calculation I am sure Lopeti is quite capable of doing, if he did his homework. - Tavake Fusimalohi

"Malo 'aupito e ngaue ", You have done a great job enlightening us Tongans world wide of what is going on in our homeland . "Fakafeta'i", and thank you for your balanced reporting, visionary outlay, and popular portal for issues . This is my first foray into the public discussions and I am excited Tonga has finally arrived !! - Tevita ‘Ita Koloamatangi Jr.

When Mr. Sevele was appointed as the PM, there was hope through out the kingdom; things will change for the better. Akilisi Pohiva was willing to give the new PM a year before he makes an assessment on how the new PM performs. I on the other hand was very impatient. I wanted immediate result as in Pronto and Now. That was why I was expecting Mr Sevele to lock up the Shoreline thieves and throw away the keys. - Tama Foa

I have attended funeral services for people who died before and right after birth, some died from of some sort of disease, some died from accident, some died for war, some died from natural disasters, some died from suicide, some were put to death as directed by law ... Everyone of these funerals had a common message, the death is allocated to and is in accordance with the Lord's Will. - Devil Dog Kava

I just want to clear the air with the truth from endless rumors from Tonga to USA, because it breaks my heart to know that my aunty did her best and after everything she has done she is disrespected, ignored and not given the gratitude she deserves. I want everyone to know that VInisia was well taken care of in USA by her aunty Kolotina from day one to the day she was laid to rest. -Jane Ramona Taufa

The King is gravely ill and there is no doubt who will be the successor to the throne. Is it improper to ask, "“Should He (Crown Prince) be king?"” I wish it was like the early years of the Kanokupolu Dynasty where the king was selected by personal traits and leadership abilities, not birthright. I am sure the Crown Prince is a fine gentleman. My crystal ball does not predict what the future holds for him during his reign. - Tama Foa

Not too many people are aware of the gigantic volcanic ridge that separates the Kingdom of Tonga and the Fijian Islands, and the fact that this same ridge extends in a north-south direction from the southern most island of Tonga, `Ata, through Kao and Tofua Islands in the Ha`apai Group, to Fonualei in the Vava`u Group, and also Tafahi and Niuafo`ou in the extreme north, and even all the way to the Samoas. The volcanic activities in this ridge are so proactive that the bottom of the earth keeps rumbling and moving everyday. It may even be the most active volcanic ridge in the world. - ‘Ofa ki Tonga

I write from the UK where the Princess Kaimana was posted for four years at the Tongan High Commission in London. She touched people on the other side of the world as much as she did in Tonga. Hers were not always great acts of politics but of acts of kindness, consideration, and humour that often go unacknowledged but have an enduring influence in many unanticipated and important ways. - Dr Maika Poltorak

Today, after much frustration in the District Court of American Samoa dealing with Immigration procedures (the lack of it) here in American Samoa to the disadvantages of the members of the Tongan Community, I am determined that I should be yelling at a higher level. But not about us here. I wanted to through in my hat to the political debate going on in Tonga. - Devil/Dog Kava

The Temos seems to be ripping apart at the seams. The friendship and camaraderie seems to be fading in a group that seemed inseparable a couple years back. How ironic! -TamaFoa

It's appalling to suggest that Ms Delgado would learn to appreciate the law more if she is shipped off to Tonga. In contrast, she would have been treated more humanely in the U.S. prison systems with education and rehabilitation, etc. Please note, Tonga is not a penal colony. - Sione A. Mokofisi

I have been researching why the retail price of Tonga maile leis exported to Hawaii are less expensive than local Hawaiian maile and Cook Islands maile leis here. Maile workers in Hawaii receive $12 US per lei and the Cook Islands are receiving $11.50 NZ per lei. - Dave Thompson
