Dear Editor – Monday evening, I went to our national domestic port to wait for my wantoks. While waiting I noticed a vehicle driving recklessly through the not so crowded domestic port road, thank heavens not a lot of people were there. The reckless driver almost hit a car, screeched to a halt and then…
Dear Editor – HONIARA City Council should now seriously consider relocating Honiara’s central market to another location. This is for the simple reason the current location is now small and can no longer accommodate any expansion plans. By relocating the market, the council can use the existing site for other development purposes. The market is…
Those who demand and Receive Compensation bring upon themselves a curse. Demanding and Receiving compensation is an Evil Crafty Scheme hatched by Satan himself, to undermine the power of and truth about forgiveness by the blood of Christ, which was shed for us on Calvary. Heathens and unbelievers require the blood of animals such as…
Dear Editor – During the Christmas break, I was in my village and it was very interesting and funny to see people going crazy about the goods delivered by a Member of Parliament. I will not dwell on this particular member, because all MPs in this country are under the same spell. Millions of dollars…

Dear Editor – Thank you Island Enterprises for the full page calendar in the Solomon Star last Friday. We the ordinary people do not get many things like that. Will you be publishing any more calendar soon as many of my friends and family want them, we did not expect it. J.R. WilliamsHoniara
Dear Editor – I read the letter from Geoff Ford Samuel published on the 7th January while on holiday in NZ. I must say that the letter was probably one of the most balanced I have read in recent times, thank you Geoff. However, I need to point out just one correction, SolRais at the…
Dear Editor – Like senior lawyer, Gabriel Suri (Issue No. 6071), I too am not sure about the DCC Government’s explanation that the recent $3M pay out to ex-combatants was for their rehabilitation (OPMC Press). Rehabilitation and reintegration are such big words and $3M is big taxpayers’ money engulfed into oblivion, so it seems. How…
IT’S good to see chiefs working closely with police to address law and order issues in the settlements around Honiara. Their close collaboration with the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force’s (RSIPF) Community Policing Unit has resulted in the low record of criminal cases during the festive season. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most…
