Posted by JAK on 18/11/2003, 8:35 am, in reply to "Re: MALA COMPENSATION" Even in areka we often hear of common expressions of alarm like - MANE ENE MR PETERO KIRA PUU HONOSIA MA MANI PATA E SURUIA E NORO AOTARA NOO. So compensation is still a problem that needs to be addressed on Mala.Infact the changes of society today will push the practice out of context and deteriorates its cultural significance.

Right Mr.Hautaai. But take the civil unrest compensation sydrome out of the equation and you are still left with a custom pervasive on Mala.Indeed it is a custom pervasive in SI.But the manner in which it is practiced on Mala is extrememly different. Sometimes it is characterised by violence, be it directly or indirectly.
