Dear Editor,

I wish to comment on the above issue published in your paper.(Daily Post issue No:3298 - Letters to the editor)
Firstly I would like to thank "concern man Tanna" as he called himself for voicing his concern which is mostly true.

I don't no whether he is a Public Servant (because he sounds like one)or a private businessman.

Because if you're a government paid concern man tanna then you will know how much it will cost if the hospital charges you

Dear Editor,

Happy 31st birthday to Vanuatu and its people on this week of celebration. It is also time to have some reflection on our past and move forward to future with great care .We need sharp thinkers and good Compassion Conservative leaders or Republican to take our country forward.

Thank you.
