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.

It was interesting to read the article "Tonga must avoid political disaster, says Princess Regent" on your website dated 02 June 2006, where there was a proud referral to the private remittances sent by Tongans living overseas being of a size equal to that of the nations GDP and admittedly significant enough to be referred to as shoring-up the country's economy. Inbetween the lines, we are supposedly the envy of other lower remittance sending nations who couldnt match us. - Dr. E. L Saafi

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

After reading PSA's plan to go on strike and the reasons for their proposed strike make me question whether they are still ok or not.

I have heard from various sources how our beloved King enjoys good humors and play jokes on his friends. At this stage of his life, I was thinking he is busy meditating and preparing to meet his Maker. Boy was I wrong! Our beloved king is still active being a jokester. - Tama Foa
