I was wondering if you could tell me what the union/organisation is called that covers the government workers and maybe some contact details for them as my work colleagues and I would love to show our support to the workers of your country. - Andrea Westlake

I have had a lot of emails from my youth in Tonga how schools have been on protest and I'm real disappointed to read about this. I was wondering what the cause of this is? and why is it taking so long? I'm am Tongan myself yet I would like to understand and also ask who I can email or talk to about it? and why my country is suffering yet my youth are. - Salome Fiukefu

It is so difficult to pick a conversation with people who would prefer to hide under a pseudonym while they attack others in a public forum. That is exactly the way of the terrorist. - Rev Dr Ma‘afu‘otu‘itonga Palu

TCB failed and had to sell all assets and is now a back packers paradise and office of TASA. The secured lands for agricultural purposes is a question mark because we have cultivated land in Tonga, why overseas? Do local farmers have to purchase a return airline ticket to plant squash nowadays? - William Mariner

IRB ranks Tonga in the 20's just behind Morocco, Korea and Namibia. The statistics shows it all. It is sad to see Tonga's national sport go down like this, when Georgia, Romania and Portugal's national sport is not Rugby Union and they are ranked 19,18 and 17 respectively. - William Tapealava

I have been reading your website with great interest these last few days. I am supposed to travel to Tonga next week to study the Kingdom's birds. I am now wary of how the current civil strike will affect my plans.

It feels like we had never left Tonga by the tireless effort you all put in. It needs to be voiced and affirm that we all appreciate yr work. - Lupe Fonua

As a Ikale Tahi supporter, I truly believe the Tonga Rugby Union should think about replacing the Coach and his management, as the prevous three performances by the team has been really shocking.

Thank you so much Matangi Tonga for the exclusive coverages on previous events in Tonga especially the Tonga High School grand opening which we sit at home and had the taste and feel of it from overseas right at home (its like we were there as well). - James Faasolo

Please allow me to join Viliami Afeaki in congratulating you Pesi and your news media for showing good balanced news and information to the public and I think there is not much difference from listening to the BBC and the Matangi Tonga. The balanced news and articles should constructively assist the overall development. Keep up! with the good work and I am looking forward for a revolution in all the news media in Tonga, and your country will certainly reap optimum benefits from media rather than more destruction to the public.
