Being with AirPac, you should know that more than anyone else. Why is it such a surprise? The normal arrival procedure coming in from the north west takes you out halfway to Tonga before the approach for rwy 20. But then again, can you blame ATC? There really isn't that much traffic to warrant radar. Might put too much of a ding in their very limited budget. With their limited economy there's no chance of spending until the situation really becomes excruciatingly desperate. That's just how it is.
