Bold moves by Indonesia to reduce prison overcrowding with 40,000 prisoners slated for amnesty in Indonesia. Ongoing public discourse. Regardless, these decisions should be balanced against accountability, deterrence, recovering assets and redemption.

💼 Foreign companies are deepening their presence in the #PacificIslands.

💴 Mainly of Asian origin, some exploit lax regulations and corrupt partnerships for profit.

🏛️ Whilst companies and elites profit, locals are exploited.

Trash is big business, attracting organized crime for billions💲in profits.
To stop this, we must close law and enforcement loopholes and train border officers, prosecutors and judges to detect, prosecute and prevent illegal waste trafficking https://t.co/nkrEOeAfrU

Fiji's 7s Oly team shows the grit and pride of a small nation where a silver medal is seen as underachieving. Reminds me of the expectation of Jamaica's male and female sprint team. Congrats Fiji. Up next Jamaica

During Anti-Drug Week, one of the most memorable and impactful highlights was my visit to Ra School for Special Education.

This visit was a unique opportunity to engage with the students and faculty, highlighting the importance of a drug-free lifestyle and raising awareness about the dangers of substance abuse.

The students at Ra School for Special Education welcomed the message with enthusiasm and curiosity, participating actively in discussions and activities designed to educate and inspire them. The school staff also played a vital role in reinforcing these messages, demonstrating their commitment to the well-being and future of their students.

Overall, the visit was not only a significant part of Anti-Drug Week but also a reminder of the importance of inclusive education and community involvement in our fight against drugs.

Development and security go hand in hand. Regional trade facilitation, labour mobility and other development initiatives are critical for development. However, a security agenda to prevent "piggybacking" by transnational organised crime networks is equally important.
