Wow, Biman sahib - thats a lot of cash in your bank - with your patini - its $359,447 in cash

Just a poor Indo-Fijian farmer being, say, 'jealous' - for I don't know where my next dollar will be coming from - I hope it will be from Aiyaz Khaiyum's FijiFirst party.

For he is making changes to our - Indo-Fijians lives - even if its not visible at the moment.

Dont with Qarase's rubbish that Indo-Fijians must remain second-class citizens in Fiji

Yes, Biman and his wife are rich according to the declaration. I am related to Biman as a second cousin. I know personally what their background was like. Coming from very poor backgrounds-mind you, even his wife struggled to get her school books, fees and uniform in school. Both scarificed and struggled to reach where they are now. Both studied hard to reach where they are through loans, scholarships What you dont know is that they together kept brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, distance relatives, family friends, people from their area, and grand children at their home as foster parents. They made sure all of these people finished their studies successfully and all are now looking after their other siblings. I am one of these and an accountant. Their generocity doesnt stop there, they have helped in many people's medical costs, loans when they were starting off business, building their 1st house, children struggling to get schlarship. Another thing, I know for sure they are displaying their total income, not hiding anything anywhere in the world-unlike other politicians and their families. If you are poor, may be you did not get the help from a saviour like Biman-probably you were knocking at the wrong door! My vote is for someone who believes in transparency and truth-none other than Biman!
If you think Aiyaz is your saviour-why didnt he do anything until 2 years ago. What about his assets and property and family businesses that he has opend and closed. where is the money from all these-not on your plate!You would have had balanced diet food on your table by now-afterall changing policies dont take that long right. Why think of long term when this regime had a long term for 7 years! If they didnt, they will never after they snatch your vote-be very careful.
