Ashwin Kumar with his letter of Public Collection in Lautoka yesterday. Picture: BALJEET SINGH


FOR Lautoka Central Primary schoolteacher Ashwin Kumar, living a full and healthy life with his wife and 16-month-old son seemed like an ideal way to spend the rest of his days after a life of service to one of Fiji&#8217;s most popular sport, soccer.
But that dream is now crumbling before his eyes after the avid sportsman was diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia, a blood disorder in which the body&#8217;s bone marrow ...]]></description>

A visit by the Fiji Police Band to New Zealand during RWC 2011 was hailed a major success with performances earning rave reviews as far afield as the United Kingdom following a series of high profile performances in and around Auckland.
Led by Inspector Nicholas Vosarogo, the 40-strong Police band’s concerts attracted literally thousands of people in and around Auckland, in the process creating massive exposure and awareness for Fiji.
The performances included three daily concerts in Ellerslie’s Town Square, the Auckland suburb which adopted the ‘Flying Fijians’ during their ...]]></description>

Uluilakeba Mara flees Fiji and now we find accused Dr Shahu Khan and Rajendra Chaudhary are overseas. Are they brave enough to face the courts of Fiji? One can guess only.
After several interviews with former Fiji citizens now calling USA their home, it is obvious that majority appreciate Bainimarama&#8217;s crackdown on wrongdoers. One thing is clear that the current Fiji&#8217;s regime is not biased, otherwise those mentioned above would not have any chance of leaving Fiji. However, there  are mixed reactions to the implementation of Australia and New Zealand&#8217;s sanctions on Fiji. ...]]></description>

It has been noted in past and recent statements by Australia and New Zealand, that despite a recognition that Fiji has deep-seated problems of racism, corruption, and equality, inter alia in the electoral system that govern elections, they continue to insist on an “early return to democracy” in Fiji as an panacea to these problems.
The stubborn dogmatic insistence on “early elections” as an answer to all of Fiji’s deep-seated problems only reflects the lack of understanding by Australia and New Zealand of Fiji’s desire to return to a ...]]></description>
