Pepsi not in demand in Fiji. BIG business will also get TAX REBATES and DISTRIBUTORS will get DOUBLE REBATE - one from the State and another from Overseas suppliers

Bainimarama receiving $250,000 worth of corrugated roofing irons and screws from the Vinod Patel Foundation

And Allen Lockington would have us believe that companies are donating to the relief and rehabilitation effort without wanting publicity
( Fiji Times 28/02 ).
What utter rubbish!
How much are these same companies likely to make from the people for the post cyclone rebuilding and reconstruction?
The donation by the companies is more about politics ( hence the photo opportunity with the PM ) than with a genuine concern for community and the plight of the victim.
It's a good time for them to gaaskao old stock...

The focus at all his time should be the people and their plight in the aftermath of the castrosphic cyclone Not The Government and certainly not Bainimarama, Khaiyum or Akbar. But a self- serving government - which is what the Bai-Kai government is - will always want to put itself first. To take advantage of the plight of the people for their own political agenda. Hence " Fijian attorney general distributes rations to cyclone affected Fijians" kind of publicity by the subservient Fijian media, serving the agenda of the rulers rather than the people.

Allen Lockington is an idiot more obsessed with a media image than ever checking for facts and figures. Notice carefully he always plasters praises on certain agencies and organizations, such as PM's office, Vodafone, Tappoos etc.

A close second to him is another fool, Rajesh Ishwar Lingam, who can't see beyond any Bainimarama rhetoric and immediately redrafts all speeches in the very next edition of the Times.

The spineless yellow media wallahs in the Fiji Times give these Bainimarama regime bum suckers regular space to praise the regime to show they too are politicall onside. They are a disgrace to authentic journalism.

Talk about shooting the messenger!!!!

The media are private sector organisations that will publish stories that will 'sell'....not 'feel good' stories that will placate politically-motivated individuals like you and Pita who are obvious;sy on the other side!.

Drau lesu tale ki na koro mo drau laki tei kumala vakalevu me rawa ni rakana kina o ira na wekamudrau (please go back to your respective viilages and help in the reconstruction effort by planting kumala and tavioka etc so that the rest of your clan can eat).

Editor,
Zimbabwe's dictator President Robert Mugabe marked his 92 no birthday with a lavish celebration costing millions of dollars. Critics say it is so insensitive and offensive for him to do that at a time when so many Zimbabweans suffer poverty and hunger because of the drought and economic downturn (SBS news 28/02 ).
But I suppose there are others in Zimbabwe who regard the dictator as a messiah because he was once an anti- colonial freedom fighter.
Now he is better know for the suppressing the freedom of his own people.
What a crying shame.
But we have rulers like that as our own experience has shown.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
