COMING SOON: A cache of new documents from inside FICAC reveal how a top Fijian newspaper journalist was in EU's payroll in return to churn out "positive spin" on the EU


Raj ran away from Australian National University [ANU], so he claimed, because he found his supervisor and ANU's distinguished Professor Brij Lal "an mediocre academic", and Qiliho failed to show up for the much publicized study trip at the Australian Staff College when he found out that he was most likely to be denied a place and was also going to be arrested and charged for assaulting and spitting at Professor Lal at the
RFMF's military barrack! Raj is yet to respond to claims that he was behind the arrest, assault, deportation and banning order against Professor Lal and his wife from Bainimarama-Khaiyum's Fiji!

Raj new Fiji Human Rights Commission Director

“Mr. Raj joins the Commission with a wealth of experience having served as an academic and a record of constructive engagement with civil society, State and the international community in the field of human rights, governance and democracy. Mr. Raj’s expertise will greatly benefit the Commission to fulfil its mandated responsibilities enshrined in the 2013 constitution with additional scope of the ‘anti-discrimination’ provision to its portfolio.”
Justice Mohamed Ajmeer, Chairperson of the Fiji Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission; This appointment is pursuant to section 18 (1) (a) of the Human Rights Commission Decree No. 11 of 2009

"I walked away from ANU for all sorts of reasons...Also, the intellectual trajectory of my work has shifted dramatically.  I don't think that my then supervisor Prof. Brij Lal was best suited and theoretically trained to supervise. Incidentally, ANU is very anti theory and I was trained in the US by Gayatri Spivak the leading philosopher in Marxism, deconstruction and postcolonialism. I think Brij's work is mired in romanticism."
Ashiwn Raj (STAR Project Manager, Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor:  Learning, Teaching, and Student Services. University of the South Pacific, Private Mail Bag, Suva, FIJI) to Fijileaks, March 2015

"Indeed, she taught me at the University of Hawaii. I considered that one semester as intensive training in the three theoretical domains that really changed the way I think about literature, politics, humanities. Of course I took the queue from there and developed my own political consciousness."

Democracy returns to Fiji - Fiji style - with all the dictator's cronies and lackeys handpicked and installed in key position, with human rights abusers appointed to defend human rights!
Yes, the farce continues.

With those human rights abusers in power, its a real shame to where the country might end up in if it hasn't gotten there already.

Is this the same Asswind Raj who went with Khaiyum's other lapdogs to defend the Fijian dictatorship's human rights record in Geneva or Brussels or someplace?
What a coincidence he gets picked to be Human Rights commission director!
Morally bankrupt people by definition are unfit to be anything in an institution like a Human Rights Commission, let alone be its director.
A truly sham appointment .

Editor,
We learn from Times of India article 'Nigeria's State oil firm withheld $16.2 billion in 2014' ( March 15) according to a government report from auditor general Samuel Ukura.
Central Bank of Nigeria governor Lamido Sanusi said the money had not been sent to the bank. Sanusi was suspended just months away from leaving office in what was seen as a political move by then president Goodluck Jonathan to silence an arch critic and cover up endemic fraud.
When news of the missing billions was released it was reported nobody was surprised.
Yes, some news come as no surprise. We have become accustomed to such news from Fiji.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu

Failed Academic
17/3/2016 07:06:34 am

Ashwin Raj is a wannabe be academic. He is actually a failed academic. For three years he was on a PhD scholarship at ANU but did not produce anyhtig of worth and failed his course. So after bludging off Australian taxpayers for three years with nothing to show for it, he attempts to smear a distingusihed academic like Profdesor Brij Lal. A desparate attempt to find a scapegoat for his abysmal failure. In his stupid arrogance he chose someone of Bril Lal's stature. He was too silly to realise Lal's proven track record as an internationally-respected academic.

If Ashwin was having problems he could have changed supervisors or dropped out from the course early on. But no, he chose to spend all the scholarship money without doing any work, and then started complaining wheh he had nothing to show his supervisors after three years spent lazing around. What a parasite.

The only way Ashwin can get ahead is brown nosing Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and Bainimarama. He can't make it through hard work, as his failed PhD amply demonstrates. Only in Bainimarama's Animal Kingdom someone like Ashwin can become Human Rights Commissioner. Its a freaking joke.

Editor,
ABUSE OF POSITIONS
' FIFA asks US Attorney's office for return of " tens of millions of dollars" in bribe money seized by US federal prosecutors.
( smh 17/03 ) ." Over many years the defendants ( corrupt officials) grossly abused their positions of trust to enrich themselves, while causing significant ...harm to FIFA".
41 former FIFA officials and other football organisations have been cited for corrupt dealings.
Nigeria's new administration also wants former officials including a former dictator who stole millions of dollars and put it in overseas bank accounts to return the money. It is working out protocols with Switzerland and the US for recovery of stolen money.
In the case of Nigeria the authorities have said they are prepared to not lay any charges against the abusers. They just want them to return the loot.
Yes we have people who " abuse their position of trust" in one form or another.
Some use it to do the dirty on the very people they are meant to protect from State abuse of power!
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
