Blog: Mauritians become like Jamaicans as they lose their Identities
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Saturday 31st of December 2011 - 16:45:00]
The Bible is, for the first time, being translated into Jamaican patois, which is a Creole language. But many Jamaican Christians say Creole "dilutes the word of God" and "patois words that we would want to use to fully explain what was in the original (Bible), are words that are vulgar"....
Blog: Jagjit Singh, the singer who popularised ghazal music
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Wednesday 12th of October 2011 - 03:27:00]
Suffering from brain haemorrhage, renowned ghazal singer Jagjit Singh, recipient of the Padma Bushan award, whose concert I have had the pleasure and honour of attending, sadly passed away in Mumbai’s Lilavati hospital on 10th October 2011. Sincere condolences to his family, and may his soul rest in peace. Expressing his deep sorrow in the Delhi Assembly, Opposition Leader Vijay Kumar Malhotra said « a bright star has vanished from the luminous sky of ghazal world », but his music and contribution to the world of music will live on forever....

To a reasonable person, the possibility of a conspiracy between the trio Bérenger, Joomaye and Soodhun may be a real one in an attempt to discredit PM Ramgoolam, a possibility which the Police will also undoubtedly probe....
Blog: Abortion, the rights of the unborn baby and relative morality
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Monday 19th of September 2011 - 02:09:00]
Under the European secular concept of pro-death, a woman’s desire to get rid of her unborn baby has to be accepted. But this should not be the lawmakers’ priority simply because pressure groups want them to legalise abortion in Mauritius. The argument of gender equality is totally irrelevant because the man is not the one who carries the baby. If anything, it is more ‘gender inequality’! However, given the extremely complex nature of the subject, given that women are often victims of sexual violence, given that many women are at risk during pregnancy and at childbirth, and so on, under the concept of relative morality, abortion may be allowed in certain circumstances....
Blog: L’Express misinterprets defamation law relating to government institutions to protect Paul Bérenger
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Sunday 11th of September 2011 - 08:11:00]
Through its journalist Iqbal Kalla, L’Express’s attempt to defend Paul Bérenger’s alleged diffusion of false news and criminal defamation against PM Ramgoolam, presently under police investigation, through misinterpretation of the law is unacceptable. If a government institution is the aggrieved party, contrary to what l’Express is trying to convey, the law of defamation is not excluded although the institution (or organisation) « has to show that a defamatory article in a newspaper refers to it as such, not just to individuals associated with it »....
Blog: Medpoint - Red herrings to distract from those truly responsible
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Wednesday 7th of September 2011 - 02:05:00]
Following Pravind Jugnauth’s warped reasoning, if a Labour Minister is charged under PoCA, all Labour MPs should similarly resign in solidarity with suspected corruption and cross over to the opposition because of the alleged « manère de faire » of ICAC. What nonsense! The MedPoint « tainted » government transaction stinks of conflict of interests not of Rajesh Jeetah’s making....
Blog: The end of Ramadaan and the sighting of the moon
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Tuesday 30th of August 2011 - 02:29:00]
As Muslims around the world have been fasting during the holy and purifying month of Ramadaan, all Muslims look forward to the end of the fasting period, the celebrations of Eid-ul-Fitr for the peace reached with Allah and with humanity, the creation of Allah according to Islamic teachings and beliefs. Islam means surrender, submission to the Creator of the Worlds through and in the achievement of peace. Islam was sent not only to certain tribes or people, but to the whole of humanity in a spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood, in a spirit of sharing, especially with the orphans, the poor and the needy. But before Muslims can celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, the sighting of the moon with one’s plain eyes is important in spite of the fact there are scientific calculations which specify the exact time as to the appearance of the moon....

Pravind Jugnauth even tried to intimidate ICAC by challenging them to summon him. He said « Si l’ICAC énan fiel, dire zotte vini ». I am wondering how Scotland Yard would have reacted to such a challenge from a Minister or MP who is under investigation for corruption in a transaction so closely linked to him....

Blog: Paul Bérenger’s sinister agenda on the corruption charges brought against Maya Hanoomanjee by ICAC
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Sunday 24th of July 2011 - 16:02:00]
Although the MMM Leader of the Opposition Paul Bérenger has rightly been making a lot of noise since the MedPoint controversial purchase was concluded in December 2010 at an inflated price of Rs145m (from Rs75m) this does not mean that he does not have a sinister no more hidden agenda. Instead of being pleased that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has established prima facie cases against several Civil Servants and Health Minister Maya Hanoomanjee of the MSM against whom provisional corruption charges have been lodged in court, his strategy to try and split the mainly Ramgoolam(PTr)/Jugnauth(MSM) coalition government by cajoling the MSM is becoming more and more clear....
Blog: Maya Hanoomanjee - « Niet » to ICAC but « Da » to Radio Plus !
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Friday 22nd of July 2011 - 06:21:00]
The Hon. Mrs Santi Bai Hanoomanjee, also called Maya Hanoomanjee, Minister of Health and Quality of Life, has been involved in the purchase of the unused MedPoint Clinic for the purpose of a National Geriatric Hospital per government policy. She is aware of the original government valuation of Rs75m around Aug/Sep 2010 submitted by the Number 2 of the Valuation Office. But the Chief Government Valuer Mr Yodhun Bissessur carried out a second valuation which turned out to be much higher at Rs145m and upon which the government purchase was concluded with Mrs Hanoomanjee’s knowledge and apparent approval....
Blog: MedPoint scandal - Polls of Le Matinal and l’Express on Ramgoolam and Bérenger

In his complaints to the Police CCID, PM Dr Navin Ramgoolam alleged that, by stating that he is the one who gave instructions to the Chief Government Valuer Yodhun Bissessur to carry out a second valuation of the disused Medpoint Clinic after he had met with its main shareholder Dr Krishan Malhotra, the Opposition Leader Paul Bérenger had defamed him and attempted to tarnish his “character”, “dignity” and “integrity” as PM and that his allegations are likely to provoke social unrest in the country. But the results from the online polls conducted by the two daily newspapers Le Matinal and l’Express seem to indicate otherwise....

Blog: Fake Hollywood-style US killing of long dead Usama bin Laden
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Monday 9th of May 2011 - 07:02:00]
Usama bin Laden was not a Muslim leader although, as a Muslim himself, he had his own views about Islam just like Christians George Bush and Tony Blair had their views on Christianity when they ordered the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, spilling Muslim blood. Bin Laden was a CIA agent financed by them, together with his troops, mainly Muslims drawn from various countries, to fight the Soviet occupiers of Afghanistan. For the Soviets, Usama bin Laden was a terrorist but for the US and other European countries he was a war-hero who turned against them. His crime was that he wanted the US out of his homeland, Arabia, and wanted Israel punished for her crimes and terrorism against the Palestinians whose country is still under occupation. He described the US as having a government within a government working for the benefit of Israel and not for the Americans. He also said that 9/11 was the work of Israel....

La France a fait passer une loi raciste antimusulmane, anti-niqaab et antiburka exposant de plus en plus sa politique de discrimination contre les musulmanes de France et contre leur choix libre de se vêtir conformément à leurs désirs ou croyances religieuses. Le racisme institutionnel de la France ne fait plus aucun doute ainsi que la fausseté de sa laïcité à la carte. La France est un pays où la liberté, l’égalité et la fraternité ne sont pas réservées aux musulmans....
