Is Navin Ramgoolam our Prime Minister a deluded individual ? . Adopting a patronizing stance , we were called dirty because our streets are not clean. It is deeply offensive and insulting. Perhaps, he should remind us the following :the number of bins on the streets , how to recycle our garbage and most importantly what happened to the tacky pieces of plastic hugging our trees. I forgot the avalanche of flowery posters on the walls across the island during his political campaign. We shall take no lessons from you prime minister. Mauritius is not Singapore , we will never be and we will never try to be one. Parallel to Singapore enjoying a sound economic prosperity , there is a constant curb on the freedom of expression.Your admiration for Singapore seems to be for the wrong reasons. We say no to economic prosperity at the expense of civil liberties.Moreover, unlike china we repudiate the idea of having our google.mu being manipulated.
The PM relentless compulsive obsession towards controlling the media and freedom of expression is revolting. Over the next few days , the PM will meet Geoffrey Robertson a leading lawyer and writer of an amazing book called “The Justice Game”. I will strongly recommend the honourable PM to read the chapter dedicated to the “cash for questions affair” where Mr Robertson was representing the Guardian Newspaper for publishing the story. Get your homework done. Instead of waging war against the Media, bring the Freedom of Information Act so that we can kick some corrupt members of parliament out.I cannot wait to witness the introduction of that piece of legislation on our statute books.
I hope the PM visit in London will bring sense in him to stop his Klu Klux Klan journey against our basic fundamental human rights. In the meantime, the PM should enjoy his visit in London because it will be very hot,if he can stand the heat. Perhaps some sangria and tapas will enable our bamboozled PM to refresh his ideas.
One last thing, PM get your hands off on our freedom of expression.I forgot to add the word please or should I.
I concur
Btw I doubt the London visit will bring sense in him. He often comes here, but has not changed yet :s
It is becoming increasingly clear that he is on course “de perdre la boule”.
