Subject: Japs' sole are not as hard as ours - Our thorny soil needs to be ploughed smooth.! Author: Simetu [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:45:16 07/13/01 Fri Japs' sole are not as hard as ours - Our thorny soil needs to be ploughed smooth.! Undoubtedly, Japs would not want to step their soft sole on our soil for pleasure as PNGs soil is as thorny as grinded steel than a sharpened stick. It may sound exageration of the situation in our own backyard, but international tourists from developed nations such as Japanese whose personal security and safty are guranteed by stable law and order re-enforcement in their own backyard should find our backyard nortorious and thorny to step on. If our law and order re-enforcers (so-called policemen/women) are devouring their responsibilities and duties and rampaging civilians' lives on their shooting spree (recent killings in POM) and then introducing 24hr curfew, then does that guarantee visitors any means of personal security and safety? Of course, not. The visitors utmost perception upon receiving such message might be that all the civilians/citizens could be worse than just law unabidding citizens. PNG has got so much to offer to international tourists than any other nations could offer, but nevertheless our golden paradise is barred by a contineous law and order problems dramatised by the civilians and the diciplinery forces, which are catching frontpage head on international medias. It might take fairwhile to strap our red hot wound and smooth our thorny soil, which scared away international visitors and investors. However, the law abidding and enforcing bodies,and the governing bodies should criticallly act together to make PNG a better place. The desciplinery forces (police and defence) should be professionally desciplined to carry out their duties loyally. Ordinary people should be educated to realise law and order and abide by them. The tourism industry should devise its marketing strategies and promotion activities beyond the present blackened image of the nation (But TPA should scratch Waigani's bump to settle law and order problems to a certain degree, which guarantee some form of fearless safety ans security for visitors). The state government should be central to these parties and create and set modest polices for diverse tourism promotion and tourism business and investment in the country. People, we (including politicians) need to grow up and look beyond our own barrier to make PNG a better place for everyone. Your say!
