Cremation option
I laughed when I read Hassan Ali’s letter (FT 8/3). I fully agree with him.
Just before I read the comments, I was talking to two friends of mine. I told them that I prefer to be cremated. My two friends told me that they prefer to be buried because they are afraid of the heat.
I hurriedly walked away wondering if there is a difference after death.

Warriors’ battle
While I was appalled at the directive by World Rugby for Tonga and Samoa to field senior players and Fiji to play U23 players, I challenge our warriors to stand and be counted.
I understand that Japan, Samoa and Tonga will field their best local and overseas players and will come with their senior squads but this is the opportunity for our young blood to show there is an abundance of talent at home.
Therefore, I am confident that our no-nonsense coach Seruvakula will mould a team that will give our visitors a tough time. Today, our boys take on the Brian Lima-coached Samoa A side and our players will face a brutal Samoan attack and defence.
Thus, I wish our warriors all the best and I urge the boys to make use of this opportunity in playing in front of their home fans and to play their hearts out.
Please play with pride, keep your cool and stick to the game plan. Toso Viti toso!

Ethnicity obsession
Relax ? I believe we are all “Fijians” and “equal” under this Government.
Or are we?

Unique mixture
We as Fijian citizens are a unique mixture of people. What makes us unique is our individual ethnicity, customs, cultures and preferences.
It is something that we did not choose but were born into it through predestination. It is our God-given right and no one can take that away from us.
Our different ethnicity must not divide us but unite us. The next time you see a “rainbow” take a good look at it.
You will notice that the reason it is so beautiful is that all the individual colours complement each other well.
It is my hope that this will manifest in our communities and that people will learn to appreciate and accept our differences and live together in harmony.
Nothing is impossible if we try!
