⚠️ ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN IN LIHIR
Lihir is a place of opportunity, employment, and income, but money alone will not create a good future if it is accompanied by violence and criminal behaviour.
Look for employment and work hard to support your family.
Stay away from alcohol abuse, drugs, and violence.
Respect people from other provinces and communities.
Use your skills and talents to gain training and employment.
Remember that one bad decision can change your life forever.
Police custody and prison are not places where young people should spend their future.
Lihir offers many opportunities for a better life—take advantage of them and build a positive future.
📢 PUBLIC MESSAGE
"The wealth of Lihir will not help you if you lose your freedom through violence. Work hard, respect others, and build a better future for yourself, your family, and your community."
🚔 Police investigations are continuing.
📢 Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
