We let our pro-democracy sister website Coupfourpointfive tell the story:

Bainimarama fooled by Canadian 'Woman of the Year'

A Canadian radio host fooled Frank Bainimarama into presenting her with a 'Woman of the Year' plaque that he and his staff hadn't even checked for authenticity.


The plaque hailed Annie Ji (Katherine) as Fiji 'Ambassador' and 'the voice of Fijians in Canada.'

Unknown to Bainimarama, Annie Ji had no connections and had come up with the gong herself - as a prank.

The 'prestigious' award was made to the con artist during Bainimarama's August Fiji First Party fundraiser to Vancouver.

Annie Ji was even presented the gong at Bainimarama's farewell dinner in Surrey, by Fiji's coup leader himself.

The disingenuous former radio host had approached two Canadian MPs plus the organsiers of Bainimarama trip as part of the con.

According to the Asian Star, Annie Ji duped local MPs Jinny Sins and Sue Hammell into attending the event, telling them the P
rime Minister of Fiji had initiated the award.

Bainimarama presented her with the gong with no questions asked.

The story was exposed by the Vancouver based paper, the Asian Star, which reported that Bainimarama actually thought he was going to be presented with the plaque!

The paper says the con was picked up by a sharp eyed photographer and TV producer, who took a close up photo of the plaque and wondered about the misspelling of the word 'Embassador'.

Bainimarama's trip was organised by Netani Gucake and Bobby Naicker and questions remain about the estimated $162,000 that was raised.

Coup4.5 has also been told that a group of Fijian women brought in to perform the meke at the Fiji Day event have been abandoned and can't get home.

The local Canadian MPs are meanwhile furious at being duped while the organisers say they've been told Annie is sick and has had a stroke.

Annie ji Singh was a host at the Radio Fiji Mirchi station in Surrey, but reportedly quit recently.

A spokesperson at the station says they don't know anything and to 'Ask Annie'.

GOD SPARE FIJI THE BLUSHES: Let us hope he won't be spotted swimming naked in Sydney Harbour, for after all he nakedly jumps at freebies dangled in front of him - as Prime Minister he should reject them!

Editor,
Talking about awards the fictitious, phoney variety is always a shame both for the presenter and the award receiver. And we have a lot of that making the rounds these days.
But let me share with you an award - an authentic award - that a former Fiji citizen has received in America.
Sachida Raman my cousin brother has won a Civil Legal Aid Award presented by the Louisiana State Bar Association. The ceremony is planned for October 9 in Baton Rouge at the Statewide Conference..
People in Fiji who know Sachu will remember him as the most humble and compassionate and generous person one could come across. He is also a man of integrity and conscience.
This award to him is a source of pride to all his fellow Fijians in Fiji and around the world.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
Sydney

To think of it, it looks like bainimarama was trying to cuddle into some British love. He doesn't enjoy much of it back home except from a particular breed. Blowing tax dollars on British love. So so desperate.

Why did Banimara refuse to ware kahyum,s green pajama. This is insult to Kahyum and the Fiji rugby team in England and people living in fiji, the Indians and Fijians and Rotumans.
