I'm afraid you are right in all you had said.
This coup is unfortunately Fijian vs Fijian. Sad but true.
Like every story there's two sides to everything and the military has been breaching some human rights laws BUT i must say that without this coup the truth would not have been revealed.....with the sad truth being, "We the beloved citizens of Fiji have for a long time been fooled by our own brothers and those Fijians in power in thinking that "the Indo-Fijians are the ones tricking us" NO IT"S THE FIJIANS.....Qarase, Weleilakeba, and a few other well-known Fijians in top posts have been the traitors all along!!!
When they get to a position of power they thirst for more and when they finally have the taste of what it's like to have ordinary people attending to their every whim they think don't stop!!
Forgeting about the very people that voted them in they work selfishly for their own selfish gains......and they call themselves leaders. Shame on them.Fijians line up outside the FNPF offices around the country only to be turned away numerously.........The money belongs to the people so why is it when people come to FNPF they are made to feel like they are borrowing someone elses money?
We Fijians need to stand up and see through all this treachory.
It's been too long and we should not tolerate it. And we call ourselves a so
called Christian nation.
If we are truly christians then there will be no such thing as "Indians", "Rotumans", "Chinese" etc. We'll all simply be people of Fiji. Sad to say that the very people who we see praising God on TV are the very ones creating racist policies etc. Where is the truth in that!!
They say that religion and politics don't mix but if we look at it deeply.....they do. Because in a christian state like ours if you are truly a man of God, then the goodness of God will be reflected by your actions!!
Okay, first, I want to know... are you on some kind of medication?
Your examples and your conclusions are so disconnected its a little unusual... to say the least!
Second, I always thought Qarase and his government made it clear from the beginning that they were acting in the best interests of the Fijian people.
Didn't they demonstrate their intentions by:-
(1) legislating that the majority of state land (all Schedule A and B land) be transferred to FAB for redistribution to the Fijians.
(2) trying to legislate the transfer to Fijians of all qoliqoli areas currently owned by the State, but were cut short from achieving this because of Bai's itch to become King of Fiji.
If the indigenous Fijians generally were the intended beneficiaries of Qarase's policies, then pray tell me, how on earth is that a "selfish" and power hungry act?
Your description seems to me to more accurately describe King Bai's actions rather than Qarase's. Afterall, Qarase didn't make himself King, Bai did.
Third, you seem to be saying that FNPF tellers failed to treat you properly when you went there and because of that, FNPF and the SDL government is corruptly trying to deny you your money.
Please, what the hell kind of fuzzy logic is that?
Don't you know that FPNF is supposed to make it difficult for you to access your funds. Its not your bloody Bank. It your retirement policy.
And how you conclude that the lack of customer service skills at FNPF has a direct nexus to, or is directly caused by, alleged corruption within the SDL-led government is beyond me.
Please do not be easily persuaded by people (usually pro-Bai supporters) who will try convince you to always accept the simplest explanation - corruption.
Learn to think things through carefully and you will be able see through the smoke screen created by the military and the IG.
Then only will you see the truth!
