Who cares now,let him enjoy his playboy holiday where ever he is,but surely the whole world is talking about him with no feeling for his people.We would think that he will shorten his holiday from four months to a shorter time so he can go back and grieve with his people,but no he only thinks about himself.

I don't think we need to say too much on this topic. The NZ herald has done a good enough job in one of their editorials last week.
He may not seem to be a good King to most, but he is King none the less. Change will come in time.

I see things differently... the King have prior engagement to attend to in Scotland and then to Europe on business .... he is doing things for Tonga that we can't do..
To me we have to be careful of what the media is drumming up..always a story with a twist..especially the NZ media... and we all jump and follow their negative vibe &strings .. should we look at events from a different angle..or just follow the Palangi blindly..
We all know what the Palangi did to the Maori..started with a Treaty..& all the negative stories & news published...then took all the original people of NZ ( Maori) possession land etc etc.. its only recently they return the Maori's dignity as a people...land & compensate what can't be returned
Are they doing the same things to the Tongan.. getting us to get rid of the King..then what next..our culture ??? & &.. then we all can become Palangi or fie-- Palangi.. while we are still little Br... running around Palangi land with nothing to hold on to .. as Tongan.. unless one does not want to be Tongan

Its nothing to Him cos HE doesnt have any heir of his own to be the next King, however Nanasi and the crown prince are doing everything in their power to hold together thy nation and I suspect that the Crown Prince knows what will happens next and the aftermath of G5 decision....

Malo 'aupito pe 'a e ngaue 'a e toenga 'o e fale'alo ka ko e taki kuo ne tukuange 'a e fonua ka fakakakato 'ene holiday 'ana...

HE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY... mahalo ko hono mo'oni ia...

Ko fe kavei koula ko'ena 'e fa 'oku mate malanga'i mai 'e Afeaki koe folofola 'a Kuini Salote 3.... faka'apa'apa, tauhi va, fetoka'i'aki pea mo ha????

Where the hell is that???

I think we are a bit too harsh on him ( TupouV - TV)and we do not give him credit..for what he has done and currently doing for the country... We have a very smart King just as his father ( Tupou1V)was..
When the riot& burning of Nukualofa occurred.. the Army went to TV, that they are ready to take over the Country... TV told them to go to the Civil Government and carry out their orders... otherwise Tonga will be like Fiji under military rule... he is also the one who is pushing for the change of the current system & also facilitating it... the Committee ( best people Tonga can get)to formulate the process & recommending the structural changes to ensure that the transition is smooth & done properly...came from him
I think TV have plans for the future King etc etc and that we do not know... Ma'atu is older than Lavaka so Tungi who was fakanofo in Dec and all the right of a Prince restored will have a right to the Throne ??? so things are a bit more complicated...is interesting

theres nothing wrong with the king..this are all media hype shiz..king tupouV just got the message of the ashika tragedy only few hours to his departure..

the king's advisers (ie prime minister etc) are the ones to blame..they made him looks stupid by not making him aware of the happenings with the country and stuffs..the king needs good ppl around him..

nothing wrong with the palangis, they did what we didnt and accomplished whats done before we even had an alphapet.

Daily Horoscope for December 7

Taurus

There are powerful forces at work in a relationship today, and they'll have quite an impact on you. If you're with that special person in your life, don't be surprised if there's a lot of sexual tension between you that manifests as irritation and bad temper. You'll probably have a huge row and then have a very enjoyable time making it up.
