Amenatave Yaconisau, Suva
The posthumous description of deceased aviators by Kalara Derederenalagi is an emotional tribute of fallen comrades who always 'cheer' people up whenever down.

Women’s Day
Neelz Singh, Suva
March 8 is all about women – It’s International Women’s Day.
The 2018 campaign theme for International Women’s Day is: “Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives”.
International Women’s Day is observed every year in March and celebrates the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women across around the world.
International Women’s Day is aimed at emphasising unity, equality and advocacy in a global environment where the differences and injustices between women and men are as great as ever.
The day is marked around the world with arts, performances, talks, rallies, networking events, conferences and marches.
It is time to reflect on the progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
In more than 20 countries, International Women’s Day is an official holiday, while in three countries (Nepal, China and Madagascar) women are given the day off.
LTA pay rise
John Brown, Lautoka
Thank you Attorney-General for approving the long overdue payrise for Land Transport Authority workers.
Since everybody always blames LTA for corrupt practice I am sure that will be a thing of the past.
The Government should pay people more so that they don’t become corrupt. That's what our Attorney-General believes in.
Traffic Chaos
Wise Muavono, Lautoka.
Can any of the political parties contesting in the upcoming General Election please explain to me how are they planning to combat the traffic chaos along the Suva-Nausori corridor ? In simple English would be just fine.
Dengue spraying
Kirti Patel, Lautoka.
The dengue is on the rise and to-date there is no spraying done in our area in Lautoka. Has spraying been done in other parts of Lautoka? I hope to get a response. Please, this is urgent.
Navakasuasua’s Testimony
Simon Hazelman, Savusavu
The testimony by key coup figure Maciu Navakasuasua that we ought to thank our Prime Minister, Frank Bainimarama, because he saved the country from descending into anarchy after the 2000 coup is absolutely revealing! (Fiji Sun 6 March).
It will obviously be hard for some to accept and they will definitely question the revelation made by Mr Navakasuasua.
The fact of the matter is that Mr Navakasuasua was part of the group that plotted and executed the coup, he was found guilty for his crime, and he served his sentence!
Mr Navakasuasua has now found the ability to accept responsibility and tell the truth.
That is the measure of the man for there is no reason for him to contradict his admission!
The truth will always prevail!
Cremation the way
Hassan Ali, Lautoka
If graveyards are getting full every where, then the most natural thing to do is resort to cremation. In this way the dead would not be occupying space needed by the living.
The body is made up of various elements - air, water, fire, and earth. When cremating, the different parts of the body go to each of the elements whereas in burial, the earth receives it all.
Team spirit
Azhar Ali, Wairuku, Rakiraki
It was really exciting to witness the quality of the games portrayed by my number one at the USA sevens.
I believe it’s not always about wining but it’s also about how we perform.
We all know Fiji is a multi-racial country but it never stop us from working and cheering together.
I believe it is of no loss to support the Fiji team.
They really are the inspiration for all the players out there. I really appreciate their hard work.
Although they were not able to get their hands on the cup, let me congratulate you.
They made me proud since they were not selfish at all which is needed for a good sportsmanship.
The player of the tournament was Jerry Tuwai. Witnessing his game was worth it.
It was also evident that his fitness level was very high. From the numerous players at the tournament, he caught my attention the most.
In this year, I wait with bated breath for Fiji to win the series title.
Sports is not always about winning, it is also important that we enjoy the moment.
Sports such as 7s will help the differences in race to vanish and since our Fiji is multi-racial, it will surely help to maintain peace and friendship between all the people of Fiji. I am proud to be a Fiji fan.
