Blog: Why this is the right time to invest in Banking shares
[Written by Mahen Nowzadick (Guest Author) on Monday 2nd of July 2012 - 14:07:00]


Mauritian banks are the best investment tips I can give for this second quarter of 2012. As per this article from CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/id/47989674), they clearly explain how this second quarter will be very good for investing in emerging stocks markets such as India, China or Indonesia.

[Written by Murli Manohar (Guest Author) on Friday 29th of June 2012 - 05:51:00]


Whenever there is a police investigation involving a person close to the MMM or the MSM or relative of the Jugnauth clan the immediate reaction of Paul Berenger and the Jugnauths is that this amounts to a political vendetta....

Blog: The Secular Debate
[Written by M. Vishal Aditya (Guest Author) on Friday 29th of June 2012 - 06:01:00]


Does anybody know the bug that has bitten Nita Deerpalsing to stand up to the Prime Minister by insisting that government should amend the constitution to include the word ‘secular’? To what purpose? Will it consolidate mauritianism? Will it be a setback to communal forces?...

Blog: Is Religion so important?
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 29th of June 2012 - 06:09:00]


Why is religion so important that it should guide every step of our life? Is religion the whole of life or just a part? Does the priest’s religion, which should be the totality of his existence just as medicine and caring are the lifeblood of the doctor’s existence, become my creed?...


Blog: Within Permissible Limits
[Written by M. Vishal Aditya (Guest Author) on Friday 22nd of June 2012 - 09:33:00]


The decision of the church to bow to the democratic transparent process and verdict legalising abortion in certain circumstances is bold, mature, responsible and highly commendable....

Blog: Slipshod Performance becomes the Norm
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 22nd of June 2012 - 09:39:00]


The surprising revelations dug out by the court case of Michaela Harte are eloquent illustrations of the nature of our civil service. In a bid to defend themselves and create an impression of excellence, heads of sections intoxicated by the chair power they have and obsessed with the craze for advancement, are ready to overlook norms and standards to show that they can bring results - results that can please their political masters because they are accountable to the public through the Prime Minister....

Blog: Moment of Cheap Triumph
[Written by Murli Manohar (Guest Author) on Friday 22nd of June 2012 - 09:36:00]


The Boskalis case is again in the news. The police are now in charge of the investigation. This fact has immediately attracted criticism on ICAC from Mr. Said Toorbuth, a lawyer representing Mr. Siddick Chady, one of the suspects in the case and yet another lawyer, a senior counsel for that matter, Mr A. Gayan. As for Paul Berenger he could not resist the temptation of coming with his oft quoted mantra on ICAC. It is not clear whether it is ICAC that he targets or a specific person there. But whatever the case, he has at a press conference stated that the three commissioners and that means Mr. Ujoodha, Ms. Manrakhan and Ms. Domah, have lost all credibility and should resign of their own volition....

[Written by Murli Manohar (Guest Author) on Friday 15th of June 2012 - 03:07:00]


After failing lamentably to bring down the government in the wake of the rapturous exit of Sir Anerood Jugnauth (SAJ) from Le Réduit, the MMM/MSM personal partnership consisting of Paul Berenger and the Jugnauth clan have nothing to propose to the policies of the government....

Blog: PNQ - Own Goal? Or?
[Written by M. Vishal Aditya (Guest Author) on Friday 15th of June 2012 - 03:03:00]


I am wondering why the Leader of the Opposition, Paul Berenger asked the PNQ over the visit of the PM and why did he not withdraw it after the successful outcome of the meeting between David Cameron and Navin Ramgoolam was known?...

Susheela Raman

Blog: Patches of Guilt on the Canvas
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 15th of June 2012 - 03:17:00]


The one minute of silence during the recital of Susheela Raman was a sign of protest against the prohibition order on singing the Murugan related songs ‘Paal’ or ‘Ennapene’ which blend carnatic traditions and folk and soul music. Who posted on the Facebook of the artist the prohibition order is well known now and we cannot afford to let this event go as though it was a fait divers....


Blog: Diego Garcia, Going Native?
[Written by Patrick Brennan (Guest Author) on Wednesday 13th of June 2012 - 12:47:00]


The tiny Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia might be best known as the butt of jokes about its status as a particularly tiny rump of the British Empire. But it’s also a key strategic asset for the United States (now, more than ever), and its status may be under threat, thanks to new trilateral negotiations with Mauritius, which claims the territory under international law — and the Obamian affection for the international community might let these conversations run on longer than they should....

Blog: Britain must end its sordid treatment of the Chagossian people now
[Written by Geoffrey Robertson QC (Guest Author) on Saturday 9th of June 2012 - 10:55:00]


David Cameron met Navin Ramgoolam, the prime minister of Mauritius, today. It appears they discussed what Robin Cook called “one of the most sordid and morally indefensible” episodes in our postwar colonial history: namely the deceitful treatment of the Chagossian people....

Blog: Rajsoomer Lallah - In Presence of a Luminary’s Absence

Family and friends are mourning the passing away, at 79, from an accidental, yet grievous, spinal injury, of Rajsoomer Lallah, MA, QC, GOSK, former Chief Justice, (1993 - 95), Pro Chancellor and Chairman of Council, University of Mauritius (1977 - 80), Honorary Professor of Law at Reduit from 1980, Chairman of the Commission set up to review Legal Studies (1983), Chairman of the Council of Legal Education (1988 - 94); Chairman of various Commissions of Enquiry, besides membership of the London Court of International Arbitration from 1995, and holder of several other distinguished awards....

Blog: L’avortement - Pourquoi pas de débats religieux et séculiers dans l’intérêt de la nation ?
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Friday 8th of June 2012 - 11:37:00]


En refusant tout débat religieux sur la question, le Procureur Général Me Yatin Varma n’est-il pas en train d’insinuer que le religieux ne compte plus et ne doit pas avoir voix au chapitre concernant un projet qui risque d’ébranler l’édifice même des religions concernées qui ont pour fondement la valeur de la vie humaine ?...

Blog: Jean-Claude de l’Estrac parle des bienfaits du colonialisme français à Maurice !
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Wednesday 6th of June 2012 - 03:39:00]


Les Mauriciens se trompent; Jean Claude de l’Estrac a raison ! Il est fort triste qu’à Maurice nous n’ayons pas un Alain Soral pour rabattre le caquet à ce freluquet qui vit toujours à côté de ses pompes alors que l’esclavage fut aboli il y a fort longtemps, ainsi qu’à d’autres, y compris l’église catholique, qui ne cesse de haranguer ses troupes pour les pousser à se créoliser....

Susheela Raman

Blog: Susheela Raman offensive frenzied songs struck down by Mauritian Tamil community
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Friday 1st of June 2012 - 07:29:00]


Born in Hendon in London UK in 1973, Susheela Raman is not a particularly known musician in Britain but she provoked a controversy during her visit in Mauritius when the Mauritian Tamil community rightly prevented her from singing two of her tracks in which she uses, as incantations, sacred words relating to the popular Hindu deity Murugan especially worshipped amongst Tamil Hindus....


Blog: Will Euro fall from Rs 37 to Rs 30 in the coming months ?
[Written by Mahen Nowzadick (Guest Author) on Wednesday 30th of May 2012 - 16:14:00]


It's complete chaos out there in Europe. Italy govt bonds 10 year gross yield is reaching 5.9% and Spain has already overthrown the critical 6% and is now selling at 6.57%. Meanwhile, new elections is taking place both in Greece and the USA. In Greece, if the SYRIZA party wins the election, chances of giving up austerity and eventually leaving Eurozone becomes more realist....

Blog: Is it wise to invest in Facebook?
[Written by Dr Sean Carey (Guest Author) on Tuesday 29th of May 2012 - 12:03:00]


I have a confession to make: I don't have a Facebook page. A few years ago I was encouraged to sign up by friends and colleagues when Facebook was primarily used by university students and lecturers. I resisted on the grounds that I was busy enough. I also reckoned that I knew enough people. In any case, if I wanted new friends and acquaintances it was best to meet them face-to-face....
