BRUTUS! Khaiyum to Draunidalo: You did not have to call [Reddy] a fool. You could have come up with a smart response like, 'Well, we are not as obtuse as you are. Obtuse means thick, you could have said that to him"

OBTUSE [STUPID] MINISTER FOR EDUCATION: "Annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand" and yet he claims he was a TOPPER

Khaiyum to Privileges Committee: "You did not have to call him a fool."I said. "You could have come up with a smart response like, "Well, we are not as obtuse as you are. "Obtuse means thick, you could have said that, and that is acceptable. She [Draunidalo] said, "Aw, I am not as eloquent as you are" and that is where we left it. I then went and sat down, Mr Chairman, to have my tea."

If a bunch of Indo-Fijians were a majority on the Opposition benches and a native Fijian Education Minister stood up and boasted that he was a "TOPPER" and they need to have some TOPPERS there, the gut reaction of the Indo-Fijian MPs would be, "Hey, Calling us dumb coolies. You Idiot". That is what Draunidalo meant, nothing more and nothing less. Anyway, why didn't Aiyaz Khaiyum object on the floor of the House. If anything, he was foul-mouthing Reddy, suggesting to NFP president Tupou Draunidalo that she should have referred to Reddy in Parliament as bloody "Obtuse" - "Thick" - meaning STUPID. Idiot means "a person of low intelligence". Basically, it was rose by another name - both, Khaiyum and Draunidalo concurred that Reddy was stupid or a person of low intelligence. He was NO TOPPER; he was OBTUSE: stupid or unintelligent

And Brutus did not stop there. He revealed that his stool pigeon was Vijay Narayan: "I then received a text message and I have got copies of that here, which I am happy to pass on to the Committee, from Vijay Narayan who is a News Editor of Communications Fiji Limited and the Legend News Station and he said: "Bula Sir, you had raised a Point of Order saying that Draunidalo called Reddy a fool, she then got up and said 'calling us dumb natives, you idiot'. Will this matter be taken further? Thanks, Vijay.Hi Sir, Vijay here, any comments on that Draunidalo comment in Parliament? Will any action be taken?"

Say it in whichever disguise you want. A fool is a fool is a fool. Mahend Reddy is a disgrace to the word Professor. This country is really now officially a Banana republic. Just heard that all Govt Ministers got a brand new Black Prado each the top of the range that is and all PS's got Bronze colored ones. This is the height of arrogance. A country that is begging everyone who will listen for help and then goes out and buys $160k vehicles for conman ministers like Reddy is really touching the bottom of the barrel. 90% of Fiji's people cant even afford the tire of a Prado and we the people are paying for this obtuse MF's to ride in comfort.How dumb can a populace be and when will it all stop are the million dollar questions.

Brand new vehicles, wow. If you have your own account, your own accountant, your own bank, your own treasurer, your own reserve bank, and your own scrutinizer of spending, how will you know how much money you have. Wake up Aiyaaz, you are in a Titanic that has multiple leaks and no professional boat maker. Happy voyage.

FF farse democracy and its fear of losing all link

What transpired in parliament recently just goes to prove how fearful the whole lot in FF dictatorship is of losing all that they obtained by trick and loot. No where in the world where there is any trace of democracy show any thing even close to what we in Fiji keep allowing these dictators to continue doing. It just goes to show how fearful they are-even of their own shadow and face in the mirror. The number of body guards, powers and positions to all in their gang, tightening of law and order all show these. No wonder they cannot accept any criticism, objections, queries, gossips.

Wait a minute. It was Tupou Draunidalo who called Mahen Reddy an 'idiot'.

She deserves what she got - suspension from Parliament. It will give her time to go refelect and wash her mouth out with soap.

The denigration of the authority of parliament (and its members) as the supreme authoriry of the land is part of the 'coup culture' that we have to get rid of.

Tupou is as guilty of Naqama in fostering disrespect of the highest law-making authority of the land. Such undermining is very much part of the coup culure in Fiji

Every IDIOT in Fiji knows the Parliament in post coup Fiji is just for show/ a farcical nataak which allows the dictatorship to masquerade as a " parliamentary democracy".
The supreme authority of the land in Fiji is NOT the parliament . It's the dictator Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum and his enforcer with military backup Voreqe Bainimarama. All else is bullshit.

Ok Nand so i got the Professor bit wrong he is a disgrace to all who have doctorate degrees. Is that better?. What does not change is the fact that this guy is a fool. He talks like a donkey behaves like a donkey neighs like a donkey when he does not get his way. And we have entrusted this monkey with the education of our children. God help us all.

We already have another one who can now be called the Chief Monkey. He impersonated very well.So we now have a monkey masquerading as donkey. What is new?
