Sir John Pundari Urged to Support Opposition for Change in PNG Government

By Nelson Wandi

In a surprising turn of events, the people of Kompiam Ambum have called on their Member of Parliament, Sir John Pundari, to join the opposition in campaigning for a change of the Marape Government in Papua New Guinea.
Sir John Pundari, who has been a part of the government for 32 years, is being urged to reconsider his allegiance and support the opposition in the upcoming Vote of No Confidence (VoNC) scheduled for May 28.
Despite his long tenure in government, the people of Kompiam Ambum feel that Sir John Pundari has failed to bring any significant development or services to his home district and the nation as a whole.
As a voice for silent majority of Kompiam Ambum, I believe that it is time for a change and that Sir John Pundari must break away from his old ways and take a stand against the corrupt practices of the current government.
It is evident that the people of Kompiam Ambum are dissatisfied with the lack of progress and development in their district under Sir John Pundari's leadership.
Together we are calling on him to align himself with the opposition and work towards bringing about positive change and improved service delivery in their community.

Wayne Bennett's words of wisdom guided Greg Inglis back on track after early post-playing struggles

When Greg Inglis hung up his boots, he thought it would be a matter of simply kicking back and enjoying retirement.
The three-time premiership winner didn’t really know what to expect from his life after football, and it took a couple of years before he truly understood the meaning of a few wise words from seven-time premiership winning coach Wayne Bennett.
“I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I thought I could just retire and move back home, live near the beach [or] live on a property,” Inglis said.

WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?

Accidentally stumbled across a PNG homegrown multinational corporation's office in Auckland. Owner of Mapai New Zealand Ltd, Mr Jacob Luke (from Enga) went from being a mechanic in Mt Hagen to establishing a small trucking company that turned into the largest in PNG and now with business interests in shipping and logistics abroad. No school fees. No degree. No government funding. No rich family. No bank loans. No political connections. No internet. No facebook marketing. No media advertising. Mr Luke started Mapai with none of the prerequisites we use as excuses today. All he had was hard work, discipline, vision and a stubborn determination never to give up. If he can do it, you can do it too. What's your excuse? Don't let it steal your dreams.
