THIEVES

Thieves lurking in the dark in the national hospital, thieves raiding shipping containers at Matautu Wharf. Bad for a tourism-dependent economy.

DRILL

Hearing the siren yesterday from the tsunami drill in Apia, despite the heavy rain, was music to the ears of all first responders as it confirmed the gadgets work. 

BELOVED

But not all civil servants returned to work after the drill, forcing a CEO to post an appeal on his Facebook page at 3 pm yesterday for his “beloved” staff to go back!

SPOUSE

Cases of foreigners using locals are on the rise, enabling them to evade strict business laws. Yesterday one was seen with a new local spouse.

RECORD

The Vanuatu Parliament is at it again with another vote of no confidence tabled this week. The island archipelago could have a record four PMs in one year!

NOT FIT

Surely, the Micronesian block can find a suitable candidate for the PIF SG position other than Nauru’s ex-president Baron Waqa who fails the fit-n-proper-person test!
