We are used to seeing photographs of Sub- Inspector Uraia Moku in the PIM —usually standing out in front of a group of smart Fiji policemen parading in honour of some VIP.

However, all Australia was treated to different angles of the Sub-Inspector's face in June when he arrived in the Commonwealth en route to the UK and became the target for newspaper cameramen in four States.

He is on his way to the United Kingdom to do a six months' course at the Police College at Hendon.

Uraia Moku does not confine his activities to being a policeman, however. Before he joined the Fiji Police Force 16 years ago he was a Methodist lay preacher; and he has represented Fiji in New Zealand at cricket.
