Readers Discuss Cyclone Preparedness and Cybercrime Threats
People are writing in with their ideas about big problems.

Another big worry for people is cybercrime, where criminals trick them with threats of 'digital arrest.'
Some readers say we need to teach people more about computers and the internet so they don't fall for these scams.
They also want the police to catch these cybercriminals.
Lastly, one letter criticizes a politician for making a joke about the Prime Minister, saying it's not good for serious discussions.
Readers propose a shift to 100% renewable energy and improved infrastructure to mitigate cyclone impacts.
Suggestions for cyclone relief include enhanced drainage, rainwater harvesting, and swift deployment of rescue resources.
Concerns are raised about the growing threat of cybercrimes, particularly 'digital arrest' scams targeting citizens.
Calls for increased digital literacy and coordinated efforts to identify and apprehend cybercriminals are emphasized.
