Mahalo na'a tokoni atu 'a e ki'i comment ko'ena mei he taha 'o e kau mo'unga'i tangata falala'anga 'o e fonua ni, pea na'a ne to e pule'i foki 'a e taha 'o e ngaahi potungaue 'a e pule'anga ni.

Ko e talanoa ko'ena 'a e writer 'i 'olunga 'o fekau'aki mo e kau “third world idiots”– pe “koe kau fakasesele ‘oe mamani tukuhusiá.”'oku mo'oni ia, he ko e lea 'a e tu'i lolotonga G5 'i he taimi na'a ne kei pilinisi kalauni ai. Ko'ene tali fehu'i ki he kau faiongoongo 'i he fehu'i na'e pehe tokua pe ko e ha 'e ne vakai ki he kakai 'o e fonua (Tonga)pea ko'ene tali 'ena na'e 'oange ki he kau faiongoongo.

So, if the supporters of the king's character would love him to call you as an idiots, then what you said here in support of his behaviour in leaving the country in time of disaster, is understandable.

Hope this commend will set some light to our debate.

"The Kings coronation robe cost more than the Ashika. This was paid for by tax payers money.

The kings coronation cost 8 times more than the Ashika. It was paid for by the tax payers.

Shoreline cost 20 times more than the Ashika. This was paid for by the tax payer.

The Kings medical expenses and overseas trips are paid for by the tax payer. This is around 3 times the cost of the Ashika.

In the past 2 years, we have given the king 32 times the cost of the Ashika from our pockets.

In return, his gift to us has only been the Ashika.

The kings "generosity" (if you can call it that) is killing us.

This is the embarassing environment that we can no longer afford".
