Between the Lines
RESTRICTED
Is restricting media in fashion or the in-thing? Organisers of the Miss Samoa pageant tried to favour overseas media over local media. The last time it was checked, this is still Samoa.
UNINFORMED
It was found while talking to students at the local university that many did not know what CHOGM was. You really cannot blame the students when the information is not forthcoming from the right places.
HOME ARREST
Will people residing in Mulinuu and the CHOGM Peninsula be allowed to access their homes at any time they wish? Or they would become prisoners in their own homes?
MEDICINE
There is a shortage of medicine in most pharmacies. It has to do with the suppliers. Let us hope that it gets stocked up for CHOGM.
SIMULATION
If you see police envoys and heavy police presence on Thursday, please do not be shocked or annoyed. The boys in blue are carrying out a simulation exercise.
STAYING FIT
A group of women from a village are making a daily effort to exercise at a gym. They may not yet know how to use the equipment properly, but it is a start. Villages should encourage this and gyms should give them discounted prices.
