Between the Lines
POSITION
A cabinet ministerial position has opened up. Who would the cabinet look at appointing for this key position? People have also asked if another deputy prime minister would be announced as well.
CHAIRMAN
The recently deposed elected official could still stay in politics even though unable to contest the by-election. His position as the district council chairman still stands and there is no policy requiring him to step down.
SURPRISING
Surprising statement from the government to talk to the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) when all of the nation’s fuel comes from Singapore. Some are still scratching their heads.
PLANE FUNDS
The airline fund needs to be checked. The announcement was made some time ago for people to contribute to the unit trust. There are reports that some people have withdrawn their investments in fear that their money would be used to fund the aeroplanes. And when will the trip to Australia and New Zealand be taken to collect the money?
PREARED
Good to hear that the police and firefighters will combine for the fautasi race. A backup plan must be ready in case there is a major emergency and numbers are needed. It always serves to be prepared.
OPPORTUNITY
Congratulations to the 10 new Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme workers from Samoa who joined food processing sites in regional New South Wales. Great opportunity to make the most of it for families back home.
