Between the Lines
BEGGING
Begging is becoming a concern as even teenagers are now tapping on car windows at busy shopping carparks asking for a tala or two. The problem has escalated.
SNAKE
Yet to be proven but a picture of a large snake allegedly caught in Samoa has been sent to a few people. It could be fake but you never know. The Pacific Boa are said to have been found in Samoa.
IN NEED
$32 million withdrawn in one week from the dividend payout indicates that people need funds. It is either that or nobody says no to free money.
DECEPTIVE
It is deception. Advertisers of rental properties put up pictures and prices that make the place look top class but inspection reveals that pictures do lie and the price is not worth it.
POVERTY
The recent court case of someone selling meth along with pancakes is a harsh reminder that those living in poverty will eagerly sell narcotics for profit. Poverty remains a big challenge.
NOT IN SCHOOL
Schools have opened and children are still vending during the time they should be in school. Doesn’t the law say all students must be in school?
