Indo-Fijians abject poverty remained invisible until Winston lifted the lid on their plight! Worst, by removing one's ethnicity in poverty surveys, these poor Indo-Fijians are being punished twice - 'Oh, we are all Fijians'; A TALE OF TWO BANOS IN KHAIYUM'S FIJI: TWO BABIES - TWO LIFESTYLES! Khaiyum is yet to reach the Sumera family by foot, car, horse or helicopter in Bulabula, Ba; not to mention his "Killer Minister" Parveen Bala who lied to the family: "See You Tomorrow" FijiFirst Party general secretary and then and now Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Aiyaz Khaiyum was on the verge of being declared bankrupt for failing to keep with up his mortgage repayments on his Berry Road property in Suva. In 2009, ruin, shattered career and bankruptcy stigma starred at Khaiyum as his family desperately begged businessmen and other associates to bail him out, and to stop the bankruptcy notice from being published in the Fiji Sun. In the end the Tappoos stepped in and bought his property worth $400,000 for a staggering $810,00 in return for duty free concessions and other perks; the difference was to pay the re-mortgage loan Khaiyum had taken but could not find money to meet up with his re-payments to ANZ Bank. The sweet deal was made through Tappoos' Bright Star Investments Ltd and Aiyaz Khaiyum's Latifa Investments Ltd. Fijileaks: This VHP (Fiji) video in no way should be taken as endorsing our interpretation of the plight of many Indo-Fijians. Their abject poverty remained invisible until Cyclone Winston lifted the lid on their plight!

Khaiyum and his cronies and Bainimarama and his cronies have prospered dramatically since their 2006 power grab. That is the important thing in the " new " Fiji of their creation. Not the abject poverty of Indo-Fijians or any other Fijian. It is " negativity" reporting when attention is drawn to that. That's why our yellow media in Fiji steers clear of doing that. They only do " positive" reporting. The kind that pleases the twin dictators of Fiji : Khaiyum and Bainimarama. Is it a coincidence that the Fijian media is following the two on their cyclone victim tourism visits like a dog on heat?

Don't blame Khaiyum, he is a mere opportunist just like the rest of his blood relatives.

That profound comment you make reference to has complete relevance to Bainimarama, Khaiyum and their cronies. Remember how they tried to keep everything " carefully hidden" by not releasing the Auditor -Generals report for 8 years. Remember how they deceived everyone by claiming the Fiji First party name which they stole from the original owners.they are clearly not what they seem. They are dictators of Fiji masquerading as leaders in a " true democracy".

So be it, Chiku. You may see the mountain but I see it too. And I also see the sky and clouds behind and above it and the whole universe. There are bigger issues at play here, . Please remove the scales from your eyes and, above all, use your brain for once and lesso your heart and passion

When issues of national interest are being discussed preferably the objective mind comes into play rather than the subjective heart.

The defunct Alliance government had a similar set-up to Fiji First. Vindictive Ratu Mara and vindictive Ahmed Ali.
