E-TICKETING to TICKING OFF: It is time some brave soul in Fiji stepped forward and formed 'The Association of Fiji Passengers' to hold this bloody arrogant FFP government and the bus operators to account!!!!!

Who is Aiyaz Khaiyum to speak on E-Ticketing? Where is Transport Minister Parveen Bala? It was the Fiji Bus Operators who convinced the TEAM that reviewed the transport industry that the "bus drivers and the bus checkers are the thieves" who are stealing from bus companies. Unfortunately its the bus drivers who are taking all the sh*t, with one irate passenger claiming on social media: "KILL THE BUS DRIVER"

While the FFP government is yet to provide RECEIPTS for the missing $245million dollars, it has the GALL to demand that you must have Vodafone travel card before you can board a bus in Fiji. Unlike the  Government which is yet to produce those missing receipts, the passengers have proof of the misery, cheating, and humiliation that is being meted out to them. And Aiyaz Khaiyum's response:
"FORTY eTransport machines have been tampered with and damaged. This was confirmed by Vodafone Fiji who is a stakeholder in the eTransport initiative. People had gone and actually deliberately damaging physically these machines."
Fijileaks: FRUSTRATION must be the reason, for some villagers even threatened to set fire to buses for not letting them board to go to work and for other errands. Snippets from Fiji Exposed Forum social media:

“If government wants to maximize on its VAT collection from bus fares, it should put FRCA representatives on all the buses to make sure there is no cheating, rather than force such inconvenience and continuing problems on to the people, not to mention loss of money from a failed system.” - FLP

FIJI LABOUR PARTY:

The E-ticketing mess ...once again!

Second day of e-ticketing and the whole thing is a mess for the second time since an attempt was made to introduce it two years ago.


AG Khaiyum called a press conference with bus operators today to tell the media that they had received about 100 complaints from the public.

We at FLP have also received complaints from drivers as well as commuters.


Some have complained that they are not getting receipts when cards are swiped and so they have no idea how much of their credit was deducted.

Labour Leader Mahendra Chaudhry says government should simply #scrap #the E-ticketing #system.

“If government wants to maximize on its #VAT collection from bus fares, it should put #FRCA representatives on all the buses to make sure there is no cheating, rather than force such inconvenience and continuing problems on to the people, not to mention loss of money from a failed system,” Mr Chaudhry said.

E-ticketing failed to work two years ago when it was first introduced and had to be suspended. Commuters lost money on the E-tickets then as they received no refunds from Vodafone when the system failed.

“Even during the recent one month trial period, it did not work satisfactorily. A lot of problems were encountered and government should have then decided against its implementation,” Mr Chaudhry said.

They have obviously rushed into implementing the scheme – we are told that e-tickets are not ready for the school children, either.

“One must also realize that these are sensitive instruments. Fiji’s road conditions, weather conditions as well as the dust and dirt in our environment play havoc with such instruments. Or are the machines of poor quality?

The question arises: Were the machines certified by competent authorities before they were installed?

“The system has not been #audited. There is a conflict of interest involved with Vodafone controlling the entire process – they provide the machines and the e-tickets. This is highly questionable,” said Mr Chaudhry.

Vodafone should refund the people their money and forget about the whole scheme, he said.

E-ticketing is nothing but a revenue capturing scheme by a desperate government that true to its fascist roots has no concern for the inconvenience of the public. By increasing monetisation and control of that sector using electronic means will certainly feature in national accounting and at the end of the day the Ministet for the Economy can blithely announce that GDP has grown and therefore we as a nation are better off. It's nothing but smoke and mirrors.

For how much longer will we the people of Fiji allow these two criminals and arrogant fools to dictate to us how to live our lives in our own land?

For how much longer will our so called leaders sit by and watch Khai and Bai cause us so much embarrassment, suffering and unnecessary troubles?

For over ten long years, we have allowed Khai and Bai grow more selfish, cunning, blatantly arrogant, and destructive of the very sacred freedoms and values that we embrace as a society.

The Minister of Everything will not rest until he becomes the Master of Everyone, when he controls every vital aspect of our lives in Fiji.

When he is in the safe and protective custody of a prison cell, we must make an example of him, such that no one will ever be able to forget this season of unbelievable manifestation of blatant evil, injustice and total disregard for the views, opinions and consent of the general public by its so-called public servants/representatives.

Make no mistake folks. Khai and Bai are fully under the control of demons and there are evil forces at work right before our eyes. They are accountable to no one, not even to God. They are the self -appointed rulers and kings of the new Fiji

Applying their own doctrine of necessity to conduct the military coup in 2006, we the PEOPLE should march and arrest them, throw them in prison, and summon the Court of the People to hear this case of the abuse of Executive Power against the People they were sworn to Serve.

NO, we must not wait any longer. These two dictators are getting more bolder, more arrogant, more destructive and more evil by the day. We must not allow them to continue to herd us like cattle and zombies into a life of total control and passive submission.

YES, we must ACT NOW. The longer we wait, the more difficult will be the battle to conquer this evil force. And the more the suffering and the number of victims of their evil machinations and arrogant rule. They have no sense of respect, decency, or justice. They are so blindly and absolutely fixated on accumulating greater power and control, for only through such a total control over everything that they will feel safe and comfortable. For the Cassava Patch Runner is still running away from his own men who are pursuing him and his AG is running along with him, urging him on and pointing him to the safest and most comfortable place they know: Total Power, Absolute Control. Eternal Immunity.

Editor,
Standing Up For Your Rights
The world champion soccer club FC Barcelona released a statement which read : " FC Barcelona condemns the events which have taken place in many parts of Catalonia today in order to prevent its citizens exercising their democratic right to free expression".
FC Barcelona captain Gerard Pique criticised the Spanish government and PM Mariano Rajoy for the handling of the Catalonia Referundum .
The Spanish government declared the Referundum illegal . Voters were being asked whether they wish Catalonia to become an independent republic and there were reports of ballot papers and boxes being forcibly confiscated by the Spanish State police with batons and rubber bullets used on protesters, who were also kicked and stumped upon, thrown about and pulled by the hair. Over 840 were injured including children.
Pique said " the government's policies are some of the worst we have seen for 40 or 50 years ". He said he is prepared to forego his place in the Spanish national team in World Cup 2018 to stand in solidarity with the will of the Catalons to be independent.
Many said the conduct of the Spanish government and the police brutality was reminiscent of Spain's fascist dictatorship .
It has seriously damaged Spain's standing and reputation as a western democracy.
It's action has only hardened Catalonia people's resolve. Now it's leader said with the Referundum vote of 90% they would unilaterally declare independence.
Some analyst say the Spainish government made its biggest mistake in the way it handled the Catalonia Referundum issue.
Instead of uniting it has further entrenched the call for independence by the Catalons.
People holding state power can make wrong decisions .
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu

This in my opinion is the final nail in the FFP coffin. The dumb masses in Fiji will have no problem with $300m misappropriated by the goverment. They have no problem with a half baked lawyer being guarded by 12 body guards nor the 4 200k vehiles escorting the idiot and the many other obvious corrupt and dictatorial policies as long as they are not directly affected. This is the reality of our dumb as shit passive selfish FIji society. But hit them where it hurts directly and all hell breaks lose. FFP is the monster that we Fijians created by not voting with our heads but for instant gratification and falling for pure bull manure that comes out of Bai and Kais mouth. The people ultimatly deserve the goverment we get. I hope we have learnt our lesson otherwise we the sane lot will have to find the nearest exit out of Fiji.

No need to read the Holy scriptures of the Bible, Koran, Gurugrant , Bhagvat Gita etc. The AG is the source of all knowledge, wisdom , rightousness, civilzation and human progress. He and he alone can lecture to the kindy kids to the university professors, school committee to the school teachers, nurses , doctors, bus driver to the bus owners, workers to the business owners. He alone understands the agriculture of sugar , rice, copra, forestry and fishrys , market gardening, sugar technology and mill operations and machinry . He is the only alone one who understands the economy , trade, tax, tourism ,garment industry , international , local and constiunal law. He knows what is best for evrybody - the itaukeis, kaiindias, kailomas etc. , students, farmers, workers , fisherman.

In short he is Gods gift to our beloved Fiji and we should all be grateful to our Lord for that.

Instead of going to our normal places of worship and listening to our talatalas, pundits, molvis and bhaijis , we should listen to his daily sermon from his goverment pulpit.

That is the only pathway to divinity.

God Bless the AG and may he rule us forever.

Tomasi,
You have been saying "We must act now" for quite some time and we haven't seen or heard you act. Tekivuna mai keitou qai mai tinia Se o rere.

Any military idiots or their relatives caught up in this e- ticketing shit that's happening in utopia?
Not the military top dogs that's for sure. They have become the Pajero people in their commander-in-thief's new Fiji.

Well what can I say about a government thats notoriously fascist and dictatorial at the expense of the public in general. This is what happens when you pull off fast ones by implementing policies that need a thorough review instead of another lousy shortcut as FFP is often fond of doing.

But hey, FFP "sapotas" I mean supporters elected them into government and look at the outcome. Everything done with a double-edged sword where the bus drivers and the cronies in parliament thrive leaving everyone else to ponder who was the smart ass that wanted this e-ticketing crap in the first place.
