No, he is only interested in getting elected!
He only uses communalism, ethnicity, religion,
his father's name etc and sometimes language
of division to achieve this aim not realising
the tremendous danger of this. It is strange
that in his speeches he seldom mentions his
mother!
His model for Mauritius is, in my opinion, Singapore
which became independent in 1965. Two years later
it was the turn of Mauritius. Singapore went on to become
a first class economy. Perhaps he is disappointed
Mauritius is lagging behind. If one reads how Singapore
(ruled by one family for 48 years!) achieved this,
one can easily determine what path Mauritius is
following. He is simply pushing harder! Singapore
is an authoritarian state, a 'democratic dictatorship.'
I was not surprised when (as reported in the press)
he ordered the MBC not to edit his speech. I am
sure other countries are not amused! It is becoming
harder and harder for him to talk about freedom of
expression when he goes overseas. There is little of
it in Singapore. Only money has freedom of
speech there! And so it will be in Mauritius in the not
too distant future. Let us fasten our seat belts!
Navin Ramgoolam est un opportuniste. Diviser pour mieux reigner tel est le mot d'ordre. Comme la plupart des politicars quoi!

As communalism is the only thing which matters
at election time in Mauritius, there is one
community which the government would not wish
to antagonise too much. It is the muslim
community. Who becomes the acting PM when the
latter is overseas? Without the support of
the muslim community the Labour Party has no
chance in my opinion.
It really does not matter who wins because the
corrosion of communalism will be perpetuated
by the new government. Should there be communalism
in "Paradise"?

Li interessant ki ena ene tendance penser ki tous hindous priviligies. Le fait est ki dans Maurice, ena encore separation communautes parmi hindous. Et pas tous communautes ki necessairement gagne faveur...
Quelle ambiguité? Je dis tout simplement que le communalisme à Maurice fait qu'il existe des divisions au sein même des hindous (e.g. "tamouls", "marathi", "telegu", 'indiens").
Il ne faut pas se leurrer et croire que tous les hindous sont considérés égaux par nos politiciens (et je dirais aussi la population) et sont tous privilégiés aux dépens d'autres "communautés" tels que "chinois". "créole" et autres.
mo pensé ki zot reste bien dan la place coz sa, meme si ena ene pitit contestation....
"Des Mauriciens ont depuis peu le courage de contester ces subsides de Rs 69 millions que l’Etat accorde aux groupes religieux.
Ce fait nouveau est remarquable, mais on doit aussi noter que cela n’a pas l’effet du pavé lancé dans la mare mais bien au contraire celui d’un silence radio. Personne n’ose s’exprimer. Doit-on conclure au : “Qui ne dit mot consent” ? Ce serait risqué; certains silences peuvent être plus réprobateurs que consensuels. C’est volontairement, donc, que nous devons continuer à soumettre la question à l’opinion publique afin de l’inciter à réfléchir pour mieux en débattre et s’exprimer.
Ne nous leurrons pas. La classe politique ne va pas, elle, s’aventurer en la matière. La députée Nita Deerpalsing a courageusement dénoncé ces subsides et l’a fait savoir sans mâcher ses mots. Quitte à faire ici amende honorable, nous ne connaissons pas d’autres députés qui auraient publiquement partagé ce point de vue avec un égal courage politique. On sait que certains d’entre eux sont venus prétendre “avoir du courage politique à en revendre”, mais on sait aussi que le courage politique, ça ne se vend justement pas, ni ne s’achète d’ailleurs, puisqu’il provient du cœur à partir des vraies valeurs qui s’y trouvent.
Nous ne serions guère étonnés, par contre, de nous entendre dire, par tous les chefs de file de nos partis politiques, qu’ils “n’ont pas été mandatés par leur électorat” pour prendre une telle décision ! A nous d’attendre leur prochain manifeste…
Loin de nous l’idée de vouloir ici faire le procès de la religion. Avec tout le respect dû aux personnes concernées, nous ne dénonçons ici que le principe de ces subsides allant dans les caisses des groupes religieux pour leurs activités propres et relevant des croyances de leurs fidèles. "
I have written about this a few times. Religion is the power base of
the government in Mauritius. The government is actually using the taxpayers
money to buy the support of these socio-cultural groups. The latter have always
determined who will govern the country. This is why the politicians never fail
to attend the endless religious ceremonies of these groups which are
televised by the MBC - the propaganda tool of the government entrusted
in maintaining the relentless brainwashing of the mauritian voter. Currently
freedom of expression is under pressure in Mauritius even stretching to
online forums hosted by MT. One wonders why the national telecommunication
organisation should be muzzled in this way. One is starting to smell the
stench of 'democratic' dictatorship Singapore's style - a country admired
by the PM!

Nice icon Zeus. I love it. Its face reminds me of

He's one mean 'matou' alright!
Perhaps the PM has 'advisors' there!
Navin has tons of advisors but I'm not sure whether he listens to any of them. Bann la payer pou kass poz. Mo demande moi ki zot faire ek zot le temps sak fois li en voyaz a Londres...

A recent survey reveals that about 40% of young 'patriots' want
to migrate. And a good percentage of the laureat 'patriots'
do not return. This indicates that the malaise in Mauritius is
currently rather strong. We should cease to describe (in brochures
etc) Mauritius overseas as being a 'paradise'. A question sometimes
put to mauritians living abroad is: 'Why did you leave 'paradise?'
This is rather embarassing because it implies that one is now in hell!
I somehow feel the text below has a connection with Navin's past behaviours and the country's headlong trip to ............hell.
'' Moral poverty is the poverty of being without loving, capable, responsible adults who teach you right from wrong; the poverty of being without parents and other authorities who habituate you to feel joy at other's joy, pain at others' pain, satisfaction when you do right, remorse when you do wrong; the poverty of growing up in the virtual absence of people who teach morality by their own everyday example and who insist that you follow suit. In the extreme, moral poverty is the poverty of growing up severely abused and neglected at the hands of deviant, delinquent, or criminal adults." quoted from Body Count, by William J. Bennett, John J. DiIulio, Jr., & John P. Walters, Simon & Shuster (1996) Pg 56:

I don't think this is anything new. I think almost all Mauritian families have at least one (and often many, many more) relative who has been abroad for decades. We just have to remember the legions of Mauritians who emigrated to Europe, Australia and Canada some thirty-plus years ago to conclude that people have felt for a long time that they suffocated in Mauritius.
And how could they not? If anyone has any desire to reach higher, go further, in other words, push their own boundaries and aim for the sky, they have to admit that Mauritius is stifling and discouraging.
You have put it more clearly than I did Saguaro.
The quote of Perdipoint is also an enlightening
one. The question is what is suffocating the
mauritians? Is it globalisation, new technology
or the fast pace of 'developments'? It does
not seem that things will get better as the
assault on the environment becomes merciless.
The recent oil spill near the Caudan is a
frightening wake up call. Mauritius will always
remain 'fragile' and it does not matter what
party is in power and who is the PM. Maybe
it is this fragility which the mauritians are
escaping by migrating. It is about time the
government give the mauritians living abroad
the right to vote!!
You know, I think you're on to something when you speak of the "fragility" of Mauritius. Mauritius is very much dependent on- one could say "at the mercy of"- many other countries, the larger powers which give it aid but then expect it to act as they wish. In many ways, the prospects of Mauritius (and hence of Mauritians) are very much limited by what the larger powers allow it to do.... This is the reality of all the poor, less powerful countries of this world, of course.
And the mauritians dare talk about being independent with
pride!! Countries like Mauritius will never be really
independent. It will always be a 'limited independence'.
'Independence' has been replaced by economic neo-colonialism.
But if it is impossible to be independent on the outside,
it is possible to be inwardly free. This can only be achieved
at the individual level.

This is so true! They come, they go and do as if we
do not exist. But there are about 120,000 of us
studying, working and living overseas! Now when
Mauritius is in economic trouble they are calling
on us to invest in the island or come back to help.
Yet they will not give us back our right to vote!
They have created two classes of mauritians. They
treat us as second class mauritians. No wonder
most laureats refuse to return.
Mo lire que les celebrations pour l'independance etaient tres moches malgre le charisme de Navin! Son Aston Martin faisait parti du defile a Port Louis?
En passant, les mauriciens (ou personnes de souche mauricienne) ne sont pas tres 'welcome' dans les projets IRS d'apres moi. Acheter 1 villa dan le projet Anahita, par exemple, etait 'par invitation'. Apres tout, on ne veut pas avoir nimporte qui pour voisin bonhomme!
Ever since my invisible pooch, Zoltan, learned of Ti-Ramgoolam's visit to Rodrigues (L'express Rod. 07/03), he hasn't been able to contain his excitement, and has gone off his food.
Despite intensive medical intervention, recurring nightmares still torment my canine friend. The same poisoned dream still visits him in the dark - of every night. That is, vivid images, in living colour, of Ti-Ramgoolam landing at Plaine Corail airport astride a giant Pegasus (minus the Aston Villa).
Zoltan speaks of seeing the unholy trinity of Judas Iscariot, Brutus and Benedict Arnold face down on the tarmac, on all fours, yellow fangs dripping with fresh bone and flesh, waiting to greet their beloved Emperor.
Zoltan also recalls ticker-tape parades from La Ferme to Port-Mathurin, and streets lined with counter-rotating-eyed uncle-Toms, madly waving their shackles like a badge of honour. Baby-whales too, he says, are selflessly beaching themselves off Baie-Malgache to feed the people. Ahh, what a sight, poor Zoltan!
Invariably, the dream always becomes foggy when Pegasus turns into a Gorgon, and ends up chasing Zoltan from his country. No wonder, his tail wags no more.
Don't know what to make of my beleaguered little mutt's dream; I guess it's something to do with Emperor Augustus returning to Rome - after Caesar's demise.
More nightmares for Zoltan in the years ahead!
Only three years left until the next election. But never
mind; Zoltan has nine lives. It can afford to waste one
or two.
Mo croire ine time pou tire ca sondage la. Navin ine gagne ene raclee et mo pas croire li pou remonter dan polls! Enfin ena encore 3 ans pou li montrer nous so capacite (pas hold zot breath selma)!
Le PM dit travailler jusqu'à 4 h du matin " Dans ma vie, j'aurais souhaité avoir plus de 24 heures par jour ", a confié le Premier ministre, samedi, affirmant que, des fois, son temps est tellement pris par le travail qu'il se voit à s'occuper des affaires du pays jusqu'à 4 heures du matin.
" Ou kone parfwa ki ler mo al dormi ? " devait-il lancer : " Parfwa pa avan 4 er di matin. " Et d'ajouter que " parfwa mo boper mem dir mwa ki li etone kan li trouv sa. Akoz sa mem mo pa gayn le tan zoin boukou dimoun. " (Le Mauricien: March 26,2007)
Well, so beau-pere ena raison etonne. Apres tout Navin pas exactement connu pou so assiduite au travail. D'apres l'ordre, bcp so banne dossiers pas traiter et reste coume sa meme.
Mo "perplexe" parce ki mo ti croire dire so beau-pere vive dans UK (mo impression sa, pas 1 fait). Est-ce ki sa veut dire ki Navin p travaille ziska 4am dans UK? Devete ena macarena dans Blonde Albion meme sa!
Maybe he does not trust anyone and tries to
do everything himself. It is sad if this is true.
Every human being has a right to a have enough
sleep especially for someone who has to make
vital decisions for the nation. One wonders how
he finds time to drive his Aston Martin!
Lor ki zafer li travay coume ca? Lor next macarena party? Lor next trip dan Londres pu alle visite bann dimounes ki bien dear to him?
Ou alors lor ki l'angle MBC bizin filmer li pou so next discours dan l'information 19h30 (mo servi sa term 'information' la ek ene gros la grain disel, en passant).
Mem ar paques, mo pas krawr ki navin pou reussi faire resurrection so popilarite dan sondaz! Enfin, ki konner? Li meme sovere moris, kapav li faire ene miracle!

I feel that soon there will be a crackdown on freedom
of speech in Mauritius. We all know that he wants
Mauritius to be like Singapore. Therefore one may
know what he will do in the future by examining
what Singapore is doing. He may become another
Lee Kwan Yu! The latter is retired now. What not
employ him as a consultant?
Pire leche-bottes ki MBC pas fine trouver! A croire ine prend television dan Coree du Nord couma model. Ene vrai insulte zot imposer tous les soirs lor morisiens.
Ca meme pe trouver ki de plus en plus dimounes ki kapav pe tourne vers lote, vrais sources information. En attendant, Navin nek grogner parski li pas kapav control lagazette et radios privees couma so haut-parleurs personels. Li menacer et dire bizin mette l'ordre. Si ekoute Parti Travailliste, Navin et so bann ministres, zot bann saints ki persikiter par la presse!
