Two known victims amongst "Black Thursday"

The tragic flight that unfolded in Madang Province on the 13th of October 2011 saw 28 victims and 3 survivors was described as PNG’s worst aviation crash in history. Amongst them are two known victims (Late Mr and Mrs Bula) who where our former neighbors at Badili Green Haus.As I read the news, a feeling of sadness looms over my heart. Mr Bula was good company. We normally converse in politics, life and all sorts of issues that affect us in one way or the other. My wife is fond of flowers and would recall Mrs Bula bringing her a new range of ochid specimens from Kimbe. The news of their tragic passing leaves a vacum in the hearts of their immediate families. Our condolences goes to Helen her siblings, families and relatives. May their souls rest in peace. Insert is a pic of Late Mr Jeffery Bula (far right) during a new years bbq when we were at Badili

Cloudpng updates site

Since starting my blog, I’ve received over many visitors. Over the years I’ve observed that most of my visitors seemed to be requesting for forms that are not readily available online. In that senses I’ve decided to include a section called downloads. This is where most downloadable stuff that my visitors who regularly requests for are available. The popular form is the birth registration form. I‘ve also included a passport and 2012 gazettal to start off with. From time on I will add more. Recently also a translater was included to allow non english readers to translate in their own language.Another feature includes the mobile phone format where my blog is accessible through mobile phones. I hope this will help visitors to my page find what they are looking for. Happy surfing!

Kainantu Massacre

The Kainantu Massacre that happened recently though was not graphically portrayed in the local print media has recently been circulated. A view of these four images shows how barbaric the incident took place. It was a long standing law and order issue that has boiled over time. If asked who was to be blamed than obviously the government would be the ones to be outright responsible for the situation. Ever since the deterioration of law and order, policing has been a concern in this part of the Eastern Highlands Province over a number of years. The bringing in of task force members every time a situation arises obviously is short term and the cycle of repeated offenses takes place over time. Arm robbery, carjacking and intimidation of public by rascals have reached its climax to what has transpired. In this context, the authorities must realize that little towns and rural areas be fully protected and not be neglected as is the case across the vast country of ours.
