Mandating PNG National Interest

It is true that our people have benefited from the Chinese resources, but we don't know what's behind the back door deal with our government and the Chinese from flooding into PNG. I am afraid, one day we will wake up to see Chinese ruling our monetary system. This issues about Chinese flooded in from the local trade store keeper position in a village level, PMV bus owners, to Madang gold mine, and now LNG project.

For instance, you can't find them owning Greyound buses here in the US. There are some limitations US government put forward for them to do business' here. It is also applies to every immigrant. There is a certain restriction for foreign companies to occupy national business interests only suited for US citizens to operate. You can't find Chinese in middle of a cornfield in Midwest, US plowing. This is a picture that PNG government should adapt for its people's interest; then peace and proper control in our common sense of doing business can succeed.

It is easy to notice suspicious leaders initially in searching to overseas to get pressure out of a way by shopping for home ownership. It's a clear indication of selling or putting PNG into tender or forecloser, so the Chinese can dominate in our land.

I read the National news last night, stating that Papua New Guineans are not qualified to work for the new LNG project. I think all this is crap, look at our leaders are still denying well-educated PNGeans. Now, this is another proof of our government having less confidence to is own people.

Let's not be suprised that this initiative was not attacked by the Labor and Employement minister. I was shocked because I knew PNGeans do have the brains to compete. The question is- where is the government rescuing power or best argument to protect PNG people? Are we waiting to see Chinese run our monetary systems, our own news paper, and many cheap stuff in their wholesale for our people? Is PNG's health department and consumer bureau ran by the Chinese (raskals)?..


We've been praying for decade to see the change.

My own thoughts!

Humanities -

By: kunai George

I have the privilege to visit the public library this evening. The book I chose entitled Roman Art and Architecture, by Sir Mortimer Wheeler, 1964. Mr. Wheeler is giving the inside of the artistic achievement of the era. This book explained the importance and where the Romans contributed to the world through their art and architecture work. The aspects of sculpture, artwork, color, and painting gave a good sense of impression of how the Romans really master mind their architectural work. I found it interesting and thought this very talented individual who played a major role in this development are special. The picture are very explainable along with the text. One of the historical architecture work that caught my attention the most; “the six remaining standing columns of the Temple of Jupiter at Baalbek, about AD 60. The columns are 65 feet high and 7 feet in diameter.” ( Wheeler, pp 20) I must admit to my peers its a good book has lots of detailing in it.

Classic/Romantic Artists and Musicians

Mozart was born in 1756, between ages of four and ten he showed and proven his talent as one of the gifted musician. His works indicates him as the personification of immortal youthfulness. He was one of the characteristics of incomparable genius by the structure of his melodic inventiveness. If any kind of music Mozart hold usually turned out with the incredible expression in lyric beauty. He made everything sounding whether through the instrument or voices. Unlike Haydn, he never successfully gained the result that would pleased him but his works still reminisced by many artist as he was one of the genius musicians. Mozart spread his music throughout the churches to the ballroom. The symphony was one of the last impact of Mozart great works. In 1791, at age 35 he died, but the tradition and legacy of his great works still continue.

Honore Daumier was born in 1808, his research and art work was based upon the evidence of the social and economic inequalities. The Industrial Revolution was one of the events that drew many of his focuses. Many of his drawing was representing people with unpleasant conditions, poverty, and the futility of the working class. He was concerned a lot to let people see how poor, tired, and empty faces feel like. He created this art work to identify the character of social and economic situation that time. The focus of his main attribute was mainly comparing the lower-class, hard working individuals who at times suffered or went through hardship. In 1879, he died but his art work speaks the Industrial Revolution aspect to the people and the artists.

BSP COVERING UP ITS LOSS - letter to the POST COURIER

I am writing regarding the new fees that South Pacific Bank is charging.
I think it is awkward idea for the bank to collect those kind of fees.
Just imagine, bank charges 6.5 million people with two different charges over the counter and service fees.
The bank will earned overnight billions of kina every single day. My question is, is any certain regulatory that our bank can obligated to, and should the government oversee the consequences of those fees.
If it is very true, than our grassroots and middle class will be affected if these is not passed under banking law.
I am suspicions that BSP is trying to cover up its loss, greed, and failure in accounting.
Our people should know better, this kind of behaviour is showing bank is trying to make up of the loss. In the business world when you making a loss you have to find the way to recover those loss.
The banking system is doing the same thing to get peoples’ money. The banks are not warehouse or supermarkets to put special sales to cover up the differences, so, what they trying to do to our people is manipulating the entire concept by using different terms to cover up their loss.

Helping Sialum

[quote]Landslide kills 19 people

By FRANK RAI

A family is counting its luck after all its members survived a massive landslide that killed 19 of their relatives between
the gorges of Firangka in the Sialum district of Morobe Province.
The family of five survived by metres when the landslide swept down the mountainside and engulfed six houses, missing their
hamlet in Zongefifi in the early hours of Monday.
The survivors were still in a state of shock and mourning when visited by Morobe Disaster and Emergency Service officers
yesterday.
It only left this single home with its five family members to survive the terrible disaster.
Locals retrieved three bodies, two male and one female while the other 16 bodies were still buried.
The landslide started from the top of the mountain, slid down the gorge for about half a kilometre with debris strewn over
200 metres wide before dropping down the steep terrain.
Yesterday, Disaster and Emergency officials flew into the area to assess the damages and make arrangements for relief
assistance and also listen to stories of their losess.
A former primary school teacher, Bobby Toby told the team that relatives and family members from the village were stricken
with grief and sorrow and waited for advice from the provincial disaster office.
Zongefifi is accessible by walking inland for three hours from Sialum on the Morobe north coast.
After the visit, deputy administrator Mr Patilias Gamato told reporters that a team of medical officers, police and
disaster people would be flown into the area today.
Mr Gamato said some relief supplies would also be arranged which will hopefully reach the disaster area by tomorrow.
“The landslide is massive, half of the mountain has slid and we cannot do much. We will only provide some relief assistance
and prepare the coroner’s report,” Mr Gamato said.
Mr Gamato said the landslide was caused by water underneath the coronus limestone which had built up and caused the ground
to become unstable, causing a massive slip.
He also warned that the months of May, June and July were a time of continuous rainfall in the province and those
travelling by sea, living along river banks and under mountainous terrains should take extra precaution because of the rain
in the province in recent weeks."



(My concern) To all the leading Morobeans in the US and pnginusa to stand with our people of Sialum a sub-district in the Morobe Province in prayer and also supporting them in a different ways. Guys, if our organization has a ability to earn things then it's about time for us to bring ideas and thoughts together for the better of our own people.

Ruth pledged to Naomi: (Ruth 1:16-17) "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me"

We are fortunate to have our own people because we are not like Ruth. We belong to where we came from. Let's stand together as a team and that is for our people's interest.

Concerned Morobe,

Todays thought

I agree and Amen to the story of Jesus Christ, He was not a palace builder but the inward builder of lives. I understand Solomon’s wealth and wisdom didn’t buy him back when he failed by marrying one thousand women but our Savior’s life speaks more of being a faithful accomplisher. At times, we should acknowledge the characters that being positive, those are the ingredients of sensing what is very important and useful in doing. I like the character Jesus has set before us. A true leader who is so faithful to carry “the cross before us” came down to the lowest point of every human need. These are the stories that every leader should practice in our churches, organization, business, and government level. I am sometimes confused when our leaders wanted our communities to practice these behaviors and yet we are not setting the example to them. A faithful leader should lead, talk the talk, and walk the walk. Our action is speaking more than our words, leading leaders in any organization actions are vital to the growth of the business.
