The following message has been circulating on paper and by email---I reproduce the text to the letter here:
All Asian owned Cottage Business like Takka Shops around the country must cease by 31 December 2009. This is the dateline set the grassroots of Papua New Guinea. Any Asian owned shops, whether they are Chinese, Malaysian, Philippines, Indians, must and will come to a total stop by 31 December 2009.
Papua new Guineans will take it on the street again and make a more formal, lasting impact on the streets of PNG like the one that happened in Honiara. The government is too sympathetic and has failed the people of PNG. Everyone seems to be apologizing for what has happened and none of the so called leaders seem to understand how the inflow of illegal Asians are stealing business opportunities and jobs from helpless PNGans. It's costing the country simple store-keeper jobs and denying the privilege of simple PNGans owning these businesses. Competition among the Asians themselves has left not a chance for would-be PNGans.
Majority of the politicians seem to dig into the Asian pockets. Whether directly or indirectly, from Takka Shop owners to big investment giants like RH and Ramu Nickel, the corrupt government is already trapped in most of these deals. The country does not belong to the politicians to sell it cheaply at the cost of ordinary and helpless Papua New Guinean lives, costing their jobs, businesses and putting them on the streets. If the very government which is elected to protect the very rights they are cheaply trading for personal gain, the people must act! If the formal processes in place that are supposed to be enforced and promoted by the government are not working, the people must do it the informal way. Enough is enough.
Not only taking away our jobs and business opportunities but from illegal gambling to prostitution and Asian Mafia, this country is being truly corrupted by Asians. Our politicians are selling this country and its resources at cheap prices. No real tangible economic benefits. Tax monies and royalties are being spent left, right and center by cronies and their close counterparts, majority of it on unfounded claims. If that's not enough, the so-called politicians are now letting our simple jobs and simple businesses being stolen right from our very hands!
The rule of the grassroots will be this and very clear: No more Asians owning Cottage Businesses in PNG by 31 December 2009. Or otherwise, we will celebrate 2010 New Year with bon fires of all Asian owned Takka Shops in flames all around the country. That will be the solution. Forget the government. If they can't do it, we will do it ourselves! No need to buy candlesticks on New Years Eve. We can afford to destroy what we can take back and own ourselves but we cannot let what is rightfully oursd be stolen from us permanently!
Forward this to all Patriotic sons and daughters of this beautiful nation.
Remember DATELINE IS 31 DECEMBER 2009! GRASSROOTS WILL ACT! EM MIPLA TOK! EM COPUNTRY BLO YUMI!
Frightening!
