Come to think of it really, this FHL may have been cursed from the very beginning!! Do we forget that only a handful of privileged and elite Fijians and Rotumans had accesses to generous share capital through some discriminate and nepotistic lending policies by some Merchant/Commercial Banks?Oh, yes we know who those former Bank Bosses were. In fact yours truly had the privilege of bitting me fingernails while admire a mansion build in one of this former bank mangers Island…Yep..build with OPIUM money….opps… OPM….Other People Money!!What did the majority of our common, ordinary, hardworking village and low paid folks benefit from??…eh…the Provincial council shares deputised for them…really??…how so?? Look at the pathetic and near embarrassing state of village schools, rural nursing stations, moon crater roads, broken jetties, Inter Island shippings, empty village wholesale and retail shops , NO village libraries yet in modern Fiji and nil IT excess!!Are they any better than immediately post independence? NO….eh….only more monies for Carlton Breweries, Foster, Cement and other foreign concerns to expand operations to cement their fate and intoxicate the common folks while siphoned the profits’ to the Real share holders overseas. Our capital injection through some dubious lending schemes were just to prime the pump for these foreign dudes who’re laughing all the way to their banks and well deserved holiday in..ehh…Bali…oh no not Fiji..While in the home front, what ever crumps is left… this time around…a different pair of hands are milking the FHL cow….and milking it dry!!
Either way, the victims are ..yep…the common folks!!
