I concur with Sir Allen’s letter (FT 13/02) about not rushing into changing our flag and use all money that will be allocated for this exercise to other things such as helping our brethren in Lau who will for the second time have to batter down the hatches in preparation for TC Winston, or for a more stringent legislation on our careless attitude to mother Earth by placing environment officers at areas where there is a high rise in rubbish being carelessly left aside for someone else to clean up or dumped in our rivers and bushes.

Or better yet curbing the prevalence of this scourge called rape in our country, where the latest case is of a father raping his seven-month-old daughter.

I’m just saying there are far better issues to be deliberated in Parliament but I guess I’m just a little fish in a very big pond.

Here is hoping that the big wigs may make the right decisions.
