I was in Lae in 1982 to 1986 lived first in 12th street Burns Philp town houses then moved to 4th street second house on left entering the Lae Lodge access off Huon road.Brought with me two young boys from England aged 1 and 2 who have never forgotten the experiences and people of Lae. In fact daughter was borne in Lae delivered by Dr John Garrap, what a fantastic person and character he was and hope still is. I believe a very close friend of mine Steve Phillips and his wife still own the petrol station on Coronation drive next to the Lae International school.<br />I have monitored the supposed progress of Lae & PNG for many years and find today's developments worrying and since hearing of a casino being built in Boroko. The MP's have certainly taken their priorities seriously, for themselves only, and the basic principles of education and medical services seem to have been totally ignored. This will come back to haunt them at some point and if not most certainly when they meet their maker. No I am not a missionary but after the experiences of PNG am a humanist and the experience of my ten years there has made myself and my family better people not only for the experience but also for the fabulous people we met and class as our friends. Not sure if you can assist but I have been trying to contact old work friends called Henry Inee and Mary Aisau who lived at 5 mile. I think Henry is Mekeo and Mary from Rabaul. Still remember the Rabaul mangoes she brought into work and the best I have ever tasted without doubt. <br />I feel for Angau and the people of Lae and Port Moresby, they deserve better representation and funding from the gas and oil wealth that builds and infrastructure for the future. Instead the money being generated is being filtered obviously into foreign bank accounts for the elite and is utterly shameful. The revenue in question has the potential to MAKE PNG a paradise for it's people and develop the education and health services that it desparately needs. Only through this will course of action will the crime rate drop and people of PNG become self sufficient and develop what it should have and that is an enormously strong tourism base for people that finally opens up the "Land of Paradise" to the rest of the world.<br />Malum you take care and if you wish to continue the connection my name is Edward Wrobel and my e mail address is e_investments@hotmail.com<br /><br />best wishes wantokAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28244882.post-59289053024201080612010-01-26T12:27:15.893+10:002010-01-26T12:27:15.893+10:00I cry every time I go back to my home town in Lae....I cry every time I go back to my home town in Lae. We can no longer trust or believe politicians and public servants. We must take it upon ourselves to bring back Lae to its former glory.Malum Naluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291236098282661830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28244882.post-31539717019653116192010-01-26T12:09:40.115+10:002010-01-26T12:09:40.115+10:00Brian Marthick.

Take control (in a non violent way). Change the way of thinking and get back to the prosperity that all people used to enjoy.Brian Marthicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28244882.post-47344664760304792182010-01-25T21:37:45.672+10:002010-01-25T21:37:45.672+10:00This is exactly, one of the many reasons why I hav...This is exactly, one of the many reasons why I have no desire to return to PNG, because of the high gross mismanagement, by Politicians, who are binging on material wealth and assets for themselves, and maski the grassroots, they deserve nothing, it is a shame, disgrace to be more approproate, the Provincial and National Governments cannot work together to restore, what Lae use to be like pre self government and independence... if this is what independence brought, God help us all for the 2050 vision, what about the REVISION 1974-2010?? Policians who have misappropriated millions of kina, continue to do so, as if it was their God given right... they squander millions of funds through the various disguised budgets, what about the millions of US Dollars parked overseas in Taiwan and Singapore, what PNG needs is an INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, free from Government and political influence, to get this sorted.. An Independent Crime and MIsconduct Commission, to eradicate those dieseas and parasites that gnaw at the very fabric of society... I hope that God will punish all those who steal from the public purse in the name of the people of Papua New Guinea.bernard oberleuter - Australianoreply@blogger.com
