Mokofisi misleads the public by claiming that "Christian belief praises men to rule over women," and unfairly critiques Tongan government, Tongan culture, and Tongan churches for being male-dominated. Nowhere in the Bible supports the above claim about Christianity. Making such claim without any further qualifications distorts biblical teachings about the status of women in society. - Senituli Penitani.

On New Year's Eve in a land where time begins, Tongans are welcoming in 2010 quietly. As midnight approaches there's a brass band playing a hymn somewhere nearby in the capital, with a sombre tone that sounds more like a funeral dirge. But as the New Year rolls in, church bells start ringing, the crackers make a lively statement for a few minutes and the band picks up the beat - a little. - By Mary Lyn Fonua
