PNG People's reactions on their government's Jet

A nonessential item: Only for the affluent

Unedited responses from Papua New Guineans worldwide on the above subject matter.

"I don't see the rationale in seeing the National Alliance (NA) government getting so much pride in the Jet's purchase when we have poor health infrastructures that are in dire need of urgent maintenance.

Even why cant they buy much needed HiTec medical equipments for the use in our hospitals, when majority of our mothers and wantoks (friends) are dying of simple illnesses which could be treated.

Why waste K120 million a jet that has no economic benefit to the nation? I don't see the impact its going to have on the economy at all, or perhaps I'm just blind and naive?. The lucky ones with funds are going overseas to be treated when some who cant afford are dying a painful death. A good portion of the portion don't have the funds to get treatment and we rely on our faithful nurses and doctors, who work tirelessly despite being underpaid.

The point is most of these poor Papua New Guinea folks don't deserve to die like that. A simple medical equipment costs less than UA$3 million (K7.5 Million) which can save thousands and thousands of lives.Its just sickening to see lives which could have been saved are lost because people at the top are filled with pride, greed, selfishness and just basically being IDIOTS.

They don't even have the faintest idea that someone, someone in PNG is dying because of their negligence. I wish the Governor General just dissolves the current government and calls for a fresh election.

What is the use of this million $ piece of shit gotta do for the people of PNG? What about buying a big one so everybody have benefit on it? Are you kidding???This is such a stupidity of current leaders not knowing what to do with people's fund. Its waste of time, NA ruling is bringing back again to the old age. Rausim OL!

This statement sums up how out of touch the Pollies are --- “Hip hip hurray, hurray, hurray to the Falcon jet. Does it make us all here proud to be Papua New Guineans this morning,” the Acting Prime Minister Sir Puka said.

I guess we have more homeless people in PNG in terms of many reasons and what the heck the NA government spending much money on buying new jets instead, they should help people providing aids to orphanages, school leavers, poverty life styles etc...rich gets more richer while in lower classes are suffering.

What is going on !!Come on people, awake... See More and lets join hands together for the better. Get ride of all members even in the oppositions and vote fresh people in and lets see. I hope they will bring in new a ideas for change.
