The late Joe Pidik has been described by his employer as one of the Moresby Betting Shop’s best workers.
Speaking this morning outside the Port Moresby General Hospital morgue, Pidik’s boss, Jamie Pang said Pidik was a true honest worker.
Pidik worked at the Betting Shop in the Properties and Maintenance section for over a year.
“He was one of the good guys. Pidik was a man who wanted to work and help support his family.
“This senseless violence must stop. It’s pointless violence. If you want to fight, join a kickboxing club or boxing club and go fight in the ring like a true professional.
“We want this to be Joe Pidik’s legacy that affects the whole country that all forms of violence must stop and stop today.
“Let’s take this as a positive and move forward for non-violence in this country especially in sports,” said Pang.
