LONG QUEUES AND CROWDS AT NASFUND LAE (AND POM)
PNG NEWS PAGE Crowds build up outside the NASFUND Lae Office as early as 6am every morning. By 8am there are 200 people outside and by 9am when the Office opens, there are 400 people trying to rush into the office to be served. Lot of tussles and arguments go on in this daily occurrence. Two people interviewed on video (today, 20.01.15) said they were following up for 2 years and 3 years respectively. One came to try his luck in the queue last week arriving at the NASFUND Office before 6am. It took him to be in line till 3pm, he wasn’t served and the office closed. He came back today and said to try his luck again. The second person said the queue and crowd of people defeated him psychologically so he gave up and will not join the queue. He goes around to the NASFUND Lae Office a couple of times hoping he’ll be in front of the queue because there’s no point being in the middle as you will still be in queue when the office gets closed at 3pms.
