A Morobe-based policeman is calling on people to celebrate the festive period in the right way.
Noel Tumpi, a detective senior constable, OIC Airport Police at Nadzab, says this festive period should be taken as a time of reflection.
Tumpi challenged on people to evaluate themselves and see if they have achieved an aim or objective.
He says as a policeman he is challenged to be mindful of the years clocking away and working to achieve something that is reflective of the life span of his career.
“If people feel that they have not achieved anything then this Christmas should be one of serious change so that people can achieve something worthwhile,” he told Loop PNG.
“People should refrain from having unnecessary celebrations like “kisim wara” or drinking alcohol as they say; it’s a total waste.”
Instead, he is encourageing people to do a small favourite dish with family and do a stocktake of lives and work to achieve a brighter tomorrow.
