PHOTOS

A local university has been charging graduating students as much as $40 for their graduation photographs. Does this have something to do with a previous decision banning other media at the event?

CLEAN POWER

Are the hydro dams and the solar farms already connected to the power grid? According to facts presented at the COP28 meeting, Samoa’s energy sector runs on 38 per cent renewable energy.

CYCLONES

Better be prepared. One of the outcomes of a weather meeting last week is that Samoa can expect at least three cyclones this season and it will be dry as well.

SHUNNED

A recent visit by a MP to one the islands he represents was shunned by the chiefs. His promise for a damaged wharf remains empty and the traditional leaders have shown their disapproval.

LOUD MUSIC

It is amazing that those drivers who drive around with the whole speaker system from a concert in their cars are still able to hear properly. Music is deafening when these vehicles approach an area.

ALARM BUSES

Residents in town, especially near the Fugalei Bus Stand, do not need alarm clocks. The buses do a good job of waking everyone after 5am with their music blasted to a level which Pago can hear.
