Subject: MILNE BAY PEACE SUSTAINABILITY
In reply to: PNGNZ 's message, "http://pngnz.tokpisin.net" on 02:18:33 10/28/02 Mon

Somebody raised an issue thru this site that "WE" meaning (the Milne Bay people through the Prov.Govt.) must not allow the Pom-Alotau road to be constructed. I think the reasoning behind this person's argument though he/she did not elaborate it, is to avoid criminals from Port Moresby flooding to Alotau hence Milne Bay province. While we all hope as much as possible to see it that way, the time will come that this section of the CP-MBP border has to be connected thru roads. Currently it all depends on how much money Japan is willing to spend on it because at the end the construction it will be the Japan's second-hand vehicles to run that particular road like all other roads in PNG.
The way to keep Milne Bay peaceful: (1)is to propagate and cherish our novel norms and cultures, respect of our women, men, children and friends. Secodly, let the resources of Milne Bay province be harnest by the Provincial Govt. but owned and controlled (managed) by tru tru Milne Bayans.

(2)The Provincial Govt together with Police, to evict all non-Milne Bayans squartering around Alotau to return to their respective provinces, like Oro, New Guinea areas, Highlands etc. Their provinces are just as good and they too should feel equally proud of them. If Milne Bay is lacking and lagging behind in economic develoment and these outside uninvited citizens claim to have come come here in order to boost Milne Bay development, they are wrong. What they are saying is, "Look, it is peaceful here and it is a good environment to make money without spending too much on protective security cost." They are also indirectly saying, "You Samatex are good at playing your guitars under coconut and swaying palm tress,lazying around with your slow betelnut chewing habits and we come here to develop your undeveloped province." For me these people will one day become a cause of new Milne Bayan reactionaries against them. Hence the best to sustain peaceful Milne Bay now and in future is to have Milne Bay province for ONLY Milne Bayans.

There should be no beggers around Alotau Market or shops. Milne Bay is not a community of beggers. Begging for money and food is an anti- cultural degnity in Milne Bay. We are raised up to be self-reliance, however small or big our socio-economic bases are. Those who beg are copying from Pom street beggers and this directly tells us that their parents have taught them to become beggers. If anyone begs, ask him or her where does he:she come from and whether his/her mother or father taught him/her to become a begger in Alotau town.
