Ramadan Unites Community

The Indonesian Embassy in Suva hosted
members of the Indonesian community
and some members the Fiji Muslim
League in celebrating Ramadan.
The Ambassador, Gary Jusuf, said it
was a tradition at the embassy to invite
members of the Muslim community to
celebrate Ramadan.
It is celebrated around the world, Mr
Jusuf said.
We have invited members of the Fiji
Muslim League, the seamen who are
working here in Fiji and also Indonesian
people who are working in other places
in Fiji.
The intention is to have a close
relationship with our Muslim friends.
We pray together and observe our fast
together.
Muslims in Fiji joined millions around
the world in observing Ramadan.
I convey my heartfelt congratulation to
all our Muslim brothers for observing
the fast on the Ramadan month. Since it
is our holy month, we do not eat food

and drink water from 5am to 6pm in the
evening. Its very challenging, he said.
The Ramadan is a period of selfpurification when Muslims strictly follow
the commandment of God and to ask for

Gods mercy, forgiveness and blessing.
It is also a time of self-examination,
sacrifice, love and consideration for
others.
Lowering Of Entry Marks Proposal

Minister for Education, Mahendra
Reddy has written to the vicechancellors of the three Fijian
universities in Fiji to reconsider
lowering of entry marks for higher
Education programmes.
The proposal targets students completing
Year 13 examination.
He confirmed this while responding to
a question raised by National Federal
Party (NFP) leader, Biman Prasad.
Mr Prasad asked for confirmation if Mr
Reddy had already written to the Vice
Chancellor of Fiji National University,
University of Fiji and University of the
South Pacific to reconsider the lowering

of entry marks and why.
The rise of entry marks was adopted by
the universities in light of the view that
students obtaining a pass in English and
three other subjects with an aggregate
mark of 200 would not have been able to
perform well in University studies at that
time, Mr Reddy said.
He added that now that they had
removed mark scaling, the basis for
raising the entry mark from 200 to 250
no longer held and this was the basis for
his request.
Opposition MP, Prem Singh then
questioned Mr Reddy if he expected a

decrease in pass rates this year.
My expectation is that the pass rates
using raw marks should increase this
year that is our target. The response
received from the universities has also
been positive, he said.
Opposition MP, Aseri Radrodro
also asked whether the universities
would have sufficient resources to
accommodate the expected influx of
students at the universities.
Mr Reddy said there were three large
universities campuses around the
country and he did not foresee problems.
Former Police ASP Jailed For 18 Months

For A Bribe
Former Assistant Superintendent of

Police Rehana Sen will spend the next 18
months in prison after she was convicted
of Asking for a Bribe.
While sentencing Sen, Chief Magistrate
Usaia Ratuvili told the court that he finds
no exceptional circumstances in which
to suspend this sentence.
He says the court will not condone these
types of offences.
604.909.4088
The court heard that between 30th

September to 3rd October 2012 while
being employed in the public service
as an Assistant Superintendent of
Police, Sen without lawful authority or
reasonable excuse, asked for a benefit of
$3,000 for herself.

It was also heard that she asked for the
benefit with the intention of fostering
or sustaining a belief that the exercise
of her duties as a public official will be
influenced.

Fiji has been ranked as a top dream
destination by independent travellers
of a survey conducted by the leading

Tourism Fiji Executive Chairman,
Mr Truman Bradley welcomed the
announcement by Virtuoso as it places

604.510.4088
gives us a good insight into the kind of

Reserve Bank Of Fiji Records $28.5M Profit

The Reserve Bank of Fiji recorded
a $28.5 million profit for the 2014
financial year, slightly lower than the
$31.9 million 2013 result.
And the central bank transferred a total of
$35.2 million to the Government, which
included the entire profit of $28.5 million
and one-fifth of the balance of revaluation
reserves account of $6.7 million.
Historically low global interest rates,
a factor beyond the Banks control,
affected the RBFs foreign reserves
income stream in 2014.
While releasing the Annual Report for
2014 which was tabled by the Minister
of Finance, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum
in Parliament, RBF Governor Barry
Whiteside said the Fijian economy
recorded its fifth consecutive year of
growth in 2014 of 4.5 percent, notably
above the 4.0 percent for the second
successive time during this period.
And this growth was achieved against
moderate global economic activity.
He stated that robust financial
intermediation, increased manufacturing
and service-related activities, strong private
and public sector construction and final
demand, on the back of governments
continued expansionary fiscal stance and
the RBFs accommodative monetary policy
underpinned the 2014 growth outcome.
Equally important, the 2014 Annual
Report revealed that the Reserve Bank of
Fiji successfully met its core objectives

and statutory functions throughout 2014.
He said during the year, the Banks
twin monetary policy objectives of
maintaining an adequate level of foreign
reserves and low inflation remained
intact.
Satisfactory capital positions and
earnings on both the banking and
insurance fronts ensured the continued
soundness and stability of Fijis financial
system in 2014.
Guided by its role in the development
of the economy, the Reserve Bank
continued with financial inclusion
initiatives and its use of unconventional

policy tools.
Other notable developments included
the establishment of a new Risk
Management and Communications
Group and the issuance of the improved
$2 coin to ensure better differentiation
from the$1 coin, as the Bank continued
to promote efficiency and effectiveness
in its own operations and the RBFs
service to the public.
Consistent with its core values, Governor
Whiteside stressed that the Reserve Bank
of Fiji will strive to consistently meet its
objectives into the future.
PM To Visit Canada
A huge preparation is in the works in

Surrey, BC, to welcome Fijian Prime
Minister Voreqe Bainimarama when he
arrives on a visit next month.
The leader of the FijiFirst party will be
the honorary guest during the Fiji Day
Celebrations event at Surreys Newton
Athletic Park.
The PM will be our chief guest for the
FDC in August, he said.
This will be an unofficial visit, but the
Canadian civic, provincial and federal
members of parliament and local MLA will
be on hand to meet the Prime Minister.
Mr Gucake said this would be a historic
event in many ways because it would
be the first visit from a sitting prime
minister ever to Canada.
PM has huge followers in Vancouver
and among Fijians Canada-wide. He is
seen as a hero in Fiji and abroad, Mr
Gucake said.
Fijians have embraced Mr Bainimarama
604.909.4088
wherever he has set his foot and now its

our opportunity to welcome him.
Mr Bainimarama, who will be
accompanied by his wife Mary, will
attend a Fijian business forum and tour
the provincial legislature of British

Columbia in Victoria.
His travel itinerary for the five-day tour,
from August 4-9, includes attending
private functions in the lower-mainland.

330 Receive Business Grant

330 recipients of the Fijian Governments
grant for micro and small business grant
programme were presented with $1000
cheques by Prime Minister Voreqe
Bainimarama.
While handing out to cheques worth
$330,000 at Albert Park in Suva, the
Prime Minister appealed to the recipients
not to waste the opportunity given to
them and to use the grants wisely and
responsibly to either start their own
business venture or to grow their existing
business.
It is a vote of confidence in you
personally on the part of every Fijian
taxpayer. It is an act of trust. So we are
counting on you to uphold that trust and
behave with honesty and integrity.
We are not just giving you the money
and forgetting about you. Through the
Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism
and the Fiji Development Bank, we can
offer you advice, mentoring, training
and support. So here is your chance to

grow to fulfill your ambitions, to fulfill
your dreams. We want as many of you as
possible to be in a position to be able to
access finance from commercial lending
institutions to expand your current
businesses.
Small businesses dont always remain
small. Many grow quickly to become
medium and big businesses. So go for it.
Be ambitious for yourselves and for your
nation, he said.
I know this is an important day for all
of you but it is also an important day for
all Fijians. Because igniting a spirit of
enterprise encouraging more Fijians to
be entrepreneurs is one of the best ways
we can speed up our current economic
performance. It is a national imperative
and that is reflected in the investment we
are all making in you today. From these
small beginnings, I am convinced that
big things will grow.
"Incredibly, we received a total of

25,789 applications. And after the
selection process, we have found that
7,661 of these applicants qualify for the
Grant. So it is only fair to assist as many
of those people as possible - if not all of
them - with additional allocations to the
programme."
"We must ride this wave of enthusiasm
in the interests of the wider economy and
every Fijian. We must give this initiative
everything we can."
He added that there will be other events
like this around the country as they assist
those Fijians living outside the capital
and its surroundings.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of
Industry Trade and Tourism and the Fiji
Development Bank worked together to
make the grant disbursement possible.
The micro, small and medium sector
contributes roughly 12 percent of our
GDP, or $800million.
The Fijian Government has granted

a 12-month amnesty on outstanding
registration charges to vehicle owners
who have had their vehicles off the road
for extended periods.
Transport Minister, Praveen Kumar said
this will benefit low-income earners who
could not afford to pay back charges
when they were finally able to get their
vehicles back on the road.
This will be wonderful news for
thousands of Fijian families who own
vehicles but have not been able to use

them because of the back charges that
have accumulated during their period off
the road, he said.
Under the regulation change, Fijians will
be given a 12 month amnesty in which

to register their vehicles without having
to pay the outstanding amount for the
period in which their vehicle was not
being used.

Bus Driver Flees

A bus driver who tried to flee the scene
of a Navua accident was chased by angry
bystanders but rescued just in time by
Police.
The crowd took their frustration out
on him after he allegedly caused the
death of Bimal Kumari, while driving
his Maharaj Transport bus. The 75year old victim, according to witnesses,
was a passenger in the bus that killed
her. According to reports, she had just
disembarked when she was hit.
Family members were still trying to put
pieces together on details of the accident
at Vakabalea, Navua.
Son, Subhash Chand was still coming to
terms with the fact that his mother had
died right in front of her home.
Mr Chand, a farmer said: I actually
dont know how the accident happened.
I was in my farm when, I heard everyone
screaming and by the time I came the
accident had happened.
According to the family, Ms Kumari was
trying to cross the road when she was
hit by the bus. It was the same bus she
boarded and returned on every morning
after buying kava in Navua Town.
Every morning my mother would go to
town and buy the grog which, she then
sold from home, Mr Chand said.
Her daughter Roshni Kumar confirmed
eyewitness reports of the tragedy: After
the accident, the driver got off the bus
and he was running away from the crowd
to save his life.
Luckily, the Police got him. Otherwise,
the crowd would have killed him. I then
told my brother to let the Police handle
the matter because we now cannot do
much as accident has already happened,
she said.
Ms Kumar fought back tears as she
described her mother as a caring and
hardworking person.
She was 75 years yet she used to do all
the house chores and cooked food for
us, she said.
We see our driveway every day, and from
today it will be very difficult for us to see
our driveway, because it will now remind
us of what happened to our mother.
Staff at the Maharaj Buses Company
Limited office in Navua were evasive
when approached. They pointed the
Fiji Sun news team in the direction
of the family home, but youngest son
Ravinendra Maharaj denied his father
was in the premises.
My father is not at home, he said.
604.909.4088
Neither he nor company staff wanted

to make any comments regarding the
accident.
The bus driver was taken into Police
custody.
Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro

said: The Police are carrying out their
investigations.
The death toll on Fiji roads is now 31
compared to 24 for the same period last year.

Parliament Decides And Passes New Laws

Speaker to Parliament Dr Jiko Luveni
says she is only a referee in Parliament.
She said it was Parliament that made the
decisions and passes new laws.
Dr Luveni was commenting on growing
speculation that the Opposition was
about to mount a legal challenge against
her over the two-year suspension of MP
Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.
The decision to suspend Ratu Naiqama
was made by Parliament, not me, she
said.
Ratu Naiqama is in the United States and
could not be reached to comment.
The Opposition offices Mick Beddoes
has publicly stated its policy not to
respond to the Fiji Sun.
But it is understood that a team of
lawyers have been looking at grounds on
which to challenge the suspension and
the Speaker.
One of the grounds is whether the
jurisdiction of Parliament extends
outside of its precincts.
According to sources, two prominent
lawyers, Richard Naidu and Jon Apted,
are drawing up the legal papers for the
challenge.
When Fiji Sun visited their respective
residences in Suva, they both declined to
comment.
Section 73 of the Constitution on powers,

privileges, immunities and discipline
says: Parliament may prescribe the
powers and privileges and immunities of
members of Parliament and may make
rules and orders for the discipline of
members of Parliament.
Ratu Naiqama was suspended for
derogatory remarks he made against Dr
Luveni in a SODELPA meeting in Makoi.
The Opposition has maintained that the
penalty was too harsh.
It is believed that Ratu Naiqama was
reluctant to pursue a legal recourse

but the pressure came from within the
Opposition ranks. He wanted to close the
issue after he apologised to Dr Luveni
in a letter. However, the letter, written
from the Opposition office, included a
legal option. It put Ratu Naiqama in a
precarious position because it questioned
the sincerity of his apology.
If it goes to court, it will be a test case because
it could challenge parliamentary privilege
and immunity in respect of anything said in
Parliament or its committees.
It was a proud moment for the Fijians in

Darwin, Australia, on Tuesday as they
witnessed the official naming and unveiling
of Nuku Road named after a Fijian, the late
Pauliasi Nuku also known as Paul Nuku.
Mr Nuku was Darwins longest-serving
prison officer and a boxing fanatic and
his work with prisoners at the Darwin
Correctional Centre and young people
involved in boxing and martial arts made
him a popular figure.
His commitment, dignity and courage
were such that it was not only fitting, but
right, to name the road after him.
Mr Nukus good friend Brett Schroeder
remembers his mate as a passionate and
caring man who left a lasting impression.
Paul did a lot for the kids from the rural
area by giving them a real aim in life
and teaching them the arts of boxing and
martial arts, Mr Schroeder said.
Boxing was his real passion after
arriving here from Fiji and he carried
that over to his lifes work.
We are really proud of this son of
Fiji and he really deserves the honour
bestowed on him.
Mr Schroeder shares this joy with Mr
Nukus wife, Sarah Nuku, daughters
Amelia and Anita and son Paul Nuku
Junior and their family and friends in Fiji.
Mr Nukus dad is from Komo, Lau, and
mum from Waitabu, Lakeba.
The family lived at Nadonumai,
Delainavesi in Suva.
Mr Nuku left for Australia in the 1970s
to study and did not return. He died aged
59 in January last year.
He was a former Head Boy of Queen
Victoria School made his mark and his
contribution in the Northern Territory
Government was duly recognised.

9 Year Old, Victim Of Sex Attack
Fearful Nakasi residents are in lockdown

mode after a nine-year-old girl was
allegedly grabbed and raped by two men
while walking home from school.
The girl is a Year Four student of
Bhawani Dayal Memorial Primary
School in Nakasi, near Nausori.
She is in serious condition in the
intensive care unit (ICU) at Colonial
War Memorial Hospital (CWM) in Suva.
A Police team of 30 officers combed
the area between Nakasi and Nausori
looking for two men who allegedly
committed the crime Tuesday afternoon.
Farmer Jagdish Prasad, 41, said in Hindi:
I was sitting on the porch of my house
when I saw two men walking on the
road. Ten minutes later, I saw the victim
walking home from school on the same
road on Tuesday afternoon.
Things must have happened so quickly.
On my way to tend to my cattle, I saw
two men running away from the bush not

far from my house.
I didnt know then that they were the
men who did this.
I know their faces and I have been
helping the Police to identify suspects,
Mr Prasad said.
We are scared that the men might attack
us because my brother and I know what
they look like. We are helping the Police
to give this little girl justice, he said.
Everyone is living in fear and today
the Police van dropped children to their
homes after school.
Meanwhile, his brother, taxi driver
Kamlesh Prasad, 34, said in Hindi: The
men asked me for the lift but since I
was in a rush I ignored them, I also saw
the girl walking towards her home after
school.
Middle-aged resident of Nakasi, Navin
Kumar, speaking in Hindi, said: I have
been living in this area all my life. I was

born and raised here. This is the first time
that this heinous crime has happened.
The residents are shocked and they are
scared to go out. The children are scared
to go to school, he said.
Neighbours of the victims family said
the mother, who was alone at home, saw
her daughter from a distance walking
home at 3.15pm.
She then went to the kitchen to prepare
some food. One her way back from the
kitchen, she could not see the girl.
She was worried when her daughter
failed to arrive home at the usual time
of 3.30pm.
She went to investigate and walked on
the road. She saw her crawling, in pain
and covered in blood. According to
neighbours the girls face was puffed
up from severe beating, her body badly
bruised and she was crying. Her mother
embraced her and screamed for help.
The victim was rushed to hospital where
she remained critical condition.
Police confirmed that the girl was
allegedly raped and brutalised.
The farmer who saw them run away
might have disturbed them and saved
the girl. Items found at the crime scene
included a tablet phone, the victims
school bag, paraquat (a poison) and
building tools like spanner and hammer.
Many residents were too scared to talk.
Those who spoke did so on the condition
of anonymity.
One resident said: We have all locked
up, scared to go out as long the culprits
are still on the run. The young families
are protecting their little ones and
making sure they get security when they
go to school.
Fijian Troops Safe Despite ISIS Attacks

Despite an escalation of clashes in the
Sinai, Fijian troops serving under the
Multi-national Force Observer group are
safe.
In the past two days, the Egyptian army
faced one of largest co-ordinated attacks
by ISs local affiliate, Sinai Province.
As reported the Egyptian army will
continue an offensive in the Sinai
Peninsula, after clashes with the militants
left more than 100 dead.
The peninsula has been under a state of
emergency and a curfew since October.

RFMF Landforce Commander, Colonel

Sitiveni Qiliho said the insurgency had
been ongoing.
He said the fighting between the Egyptian
forces and the anti-government elements
had been ongoing for years now.
There are contingency plans in place
and when needed, that will kick into
place.
We are confident in the plans and
measures being put in place by the Multinational Force Observer group and our
Battalion Commander in Sinai Lieutenant
Colonel Petero Talemaivatuwiri.

Mahendra Chaudhry The Survivor

There is one word to describe Mahendra
Chaudhry Survivor.
The Fiji Labour Party leader and one of
its founders is about to relinquish the
leadership reins in the annual delegates
conference in Lautoka next month.
It will bring the curtain down on a career
in politics and the labour movement,
spanning more than 35 years.
He holds the distinction as the first IndoFijian Prime Minister and he did it at a
time when racial tension was high in this
country.
Mr Chaudhrys Labour Government
lasted one year, its term cut short when
the tension exploded in riots, burning
and looting in downtown Suva and the
coup led by George Speight in 2000.
This was the second time he became a
victim of a coup. The first was in 1987
when Sitiveni Rabuka and his band
of soldiers stormed Parliament and
deposed the Fiji Labour Party-National
Federation coalition. He was Minister
for Finance in Dr Timoci Bavadras
Cabinet.
After he became Labour leader following
Adi Kuini Bavadras death, he overcame
a revolt. Party stalwarts like Dr Tupeni
Baba and Krishna Datt left the party
disillusioned with his leadership style.
In 1992, Mr Chaudhry entered the
general election race late. He had
protested vehemently against the 1990
Constitution that was weighted heavily
in favour of the iTaukei and at one
point was contemplating boycotting the
election.
Labour only won 13 of the 27 Indo Fijian
seats in Parliament.
Rabukas SVT Government lost the
Budget vote and necessitated a new
general election in 1994.
Mr Chaudhry misread the public mood
and decided to go into coalition with
Rabuka as a political compromise to
amend the Constitution so that it was fair
to all races, particularly the Indo-Fijians.
SVT won the election, but Labour got
decimated winning no seat. The IndoFijians voted with their feet and the
message was that they had not forgotten
1987.
Mr Chaudhry bounced back in 1999
and won that historic election. In the
2001 election, NFP failed to learn
from the Labour experience in the
previous election and teamed up with
the SVT. None of them won a seat.
SDL led by Laisenia Qarase formed
the new Government and was returned
in 2006. The same year the Republic

of Fiji Military Forces under Voreqe
Bainimarama took over government
to stop endemic corruption and build
an inclusive Fiji that opposes racial
discrimination.
Mr Chaudhry raised eyebrows when he
and his then Labour colleagues, trade
unionists Felix Anthony and Daniel Urai
joined the Bainimarama government.
They later left Mr Bainimaramas
government and became vocal critics.
Mr Chaudhrys career was not without
blemish.
Perhaps one of the most significant
events that tarnished his early career
was his conviction of manslaughter for
his involvement in a fatal car accident.
He was sentenced to nine-month
imprisonment for failing to stop after
the accident. After serving only three
days of the sentence, however, he was
released on a Compulsory Supervision
Order. Mr Chaudhry contested that case.
Mr Chaudhry was fined $2million last
year after he was convicted of violating
the Exchange Control Act for retaining
1.5 million Australian dollars in a bank
outside of Fiji, without the consent of the
Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji.
He was sentenced to pay the fine by June
30, 2014, or serve a 15-month jail term.
He paid the fine.
The
conviction
disqualified
Mr
Chaudhry from contesting last years
general election.
Any other politician would have
disappeared from the scene a long time
ago. But not Mr Chaudhry.

Fiji Government Partners With ANZ To

Help Investors
An agreement was signed between the

Government and ANZ Bank to set up an
e-payment website.
The website will facilitate payments
from foreign investors.
The bank successfully won a tender to
facilitate incoming payments via Visa or
Master card.
The announcement was made at the
Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva.
ANZ Chief Executive Vishnu Mohan
said there was a high interest for
workshop in New Zealand last week, a
lot of foreign investors were wishing to
come to Fiji. He said there had been a
demand in making Fiji the heart of the
Pacific in terms of by
Attorney-General
Aiyaz
SayedKhaiyum said they hoped to launch next
week the one-page window application
for foreign investors that would allow
for approval by all the key agencies.
Through that one window application
you have all those approvals in place,
you can make your payment online in
which ever country you are sitting in. We
hope to use this relationship with ANZ

since it has been approved through the
tender process, he said. The A-G added
there was a need to make applications
and processes a very simple matter in
Fiji because it was all part of improving
services and doing business.
We must capitalise on the enormous
amount of interest shown in Fiji because

if we dont capitalise on it now we can
eventually miss the boat and this is why
it is very critical for everyone within all
the different sectors including the banks,
the private sectors, NGOs, employees
organisations to take advantage of this
opportunity, he said.
Airline Centre Expands Services To China

The Fiji Airways Global Reservations
Centre has commenced servicing calls
from mainland China and Hong Kong
from the first of July.
Dedicated Mandarin and Cantonesespeaking agents, based within the Centre
have been employed for the specific task
of providing 24-7 service to customers
primarily from the Chinese mainland as
well as Hong Kong.
This additional capability is part of the
strategic focus on growing inbound
Chinese visitors to Fiji and brings
staffing at the Call Centre to 45.
Fiji Airways Acting CEO David Bowden
said the airline is fully committed to
increasing service across all customer
touch points, and the Call Centre is a
fundamental element of our service
delivery.
As we work in collaboration with
Fijian Government and Tourism Fiji
behind growing the footprint of brand
Fiji, Fiji Airways is working to increase
the number of Chinese visitors into Fiji
on our national airline, consequently
its essential that we are able to provide
them the service they require, and this is
a step in that direction.
604.510.4088
Prior to this, we were servicing our

Chinese and Hong Kong market through
our General Sales Agent based in Hong
Kong, where we have now established
a Fiji Airways Regional Office. By
bringing the sales and service functions
aimed at these visitors in-house, we are
able to exercise greater customer service
and quality control for better service and
productivity.
The Fiji Airways Global Reservations
Centre, located in Suva, is operated
by Pacific CentreCom (Fiji) Ltd
which opened in January this year
and fields some 400,000 calls per
year from Fiji, Australia, New
Zealand, United States, Hong Kong,
and now China.

For Aiding Escapees
The Fiji Police Force has suspended

dishonesty that will bring disrepute
to the organization and criminal and

departmental investigations are being
conducted for possible charges of fraud
and corruption.
One of the escapees has been caught

Bringing Down The Big Black Economy

The term black economy, for most
laypeople, conjures images of illicit alcohol
sales in infamous corners of Toorak, Raiwai,
Vatuwaqa and Nadonumai in Suva.
In fact, its more sophisticated than that
and the Bainimarama Government has
put in measures to deal with the causes
and the effects of these unregistered
activities.
According to the World Bank, the black
or shadow economy is all currently
unregistered economic activities that
contribute to the officially calculated (or
observed) Gross National Product.
Another definition is the market-based
production of goods and services, whether
legal or illegal, that escapes detection in
the official estimates of GDP.
Another definition suggested by the World
Bank is those economic activities
and the income derived from them that
circumvent or otherwise avoid government
regulation, taxation or observation.
In Parliament, Attorney-General and
Minister for Finance Aiyaz SayedKhaiyum referred to the 2010 Report
by the World Bank titled Shadow
Economies of the World: New Estimates
for 162 countries from 1999 to 2007.
The report estimated that the size of the
Fijian shadow economy was 32.4 per
cent of GDP. This, Mr Sayed-Khaiyum
said resulted in $2.8 billion dollars not
being accounted for during this period.
He was responding to a question from
Government MP Sanjit Patel on whether
there was a black economy in Fiji and
how extensive it was.
In response to a supplementary question
from Government MP Lorna Eden on
possible remedies, he said the Government
had worked on several fronts to reduce
the Fijian black (shadow) economy:
Tougher punitive measures against
offenders like increased fines
Declaration of assets by political
parties and members

A new Companys Act strengthening
enforcement
Simplication of tax laws and
decision-making process
Deregulation of sectors like rental
car services
In the 2010 World Bank report, the driving
forces of most shadow economies were:
Increased burden of taxation
Labour market regulations
The quality of public goods and
services
The state of the official economy.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum also pointed some
of the reasons why businesses resorted
to the shadow economy. These were
detailed in the 2010 World Bank Report.
To avoid payment of income, value
added or other taxes,
To avoid payment of social security
contributions,
To avoid having to meet certain legal
labor market standards, such as minimum
wages, maximum working hours, safety
standards, etc., and
To avoid complying with certain
administrative procedures, such as

completing statistical questionnaires or
other administrative forms.
In response to Mr Sayed-Khaiyums
explanation, NFP leader Biman Prasad
requested more scrutiny by the relevant
authorities for unexplained wealth. Mr
Sayed-Khaiyum said declaration of assets
off-shore would also come under a new tax
regime, more compliance from companies
and individuals would be enforced and
FIRCA was also using special audit teams
to expose illegal activity.
Other questions on the issue were
from SODELPA Semesa Karavaki
who asked if there was any disparity
between Ministers salaries that were
recorded and those that were actually
received. Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said that
all salaries for the President, Speaker
of Parliament, Prime Minister and
all parliamentarians were governed
by law. He said the salaries would
soon be under the scrutiny of the new
Parliamentary Emoluments Committee,
that was endorsed on Monday by both
sides of Parliament.

Four In Custody

Parmendra Sami commended the quick
action by Police in recovering the fish
products allegedly stolen last Wednesday
morning.
Police chief of intelligence and
investigations, Assistant Commissioner
of Police (ACP) Henry Brown said fish
products which consisted of uncut fish,
fish heads, and fillets were seized from a
restaurant in Nakasi, Nasinu, following
an early morning raid.
The theft of the products are alleged
to have taken place on the first of this
month whereby three of the suspects
had colluded to steal the products before
disposing them to the fourth suspect
who owns a restaurant in Nakasi, ACP
Brown said.
Two of three suspects are security
personnel while one is an employee of
Solander Fishing Company, he said.
ACP Brown said this particular case was
also a concern because of the involvement
of security personnel. He said they were
supposed to be safeguarding properties
and assets of their employers.

As part of the holistic approach adopted

by crime personnel, focus is not only
on those involved in stealing, but the
receivers and also those enabling the
movement of stolen products.
This is also being explored by

fish was able to be transported from the
wharf to the restaurant, he said.

Suva Lawyer Appointed To LTA Board

Prominent Suva lawyer, Vijay Maharaj
has been appointed the new chairman
of the Land Transport Authority (LTA)
board.
The announcement of the new fivemember board was made by the Minister
for Infrastructure and Transport Parveen
Kumar.
The other members are the LTAs
former General Manager of Operations,
Aptinko Vaurasi, Businessman, Ashok
Patel, Chief Financial Controller of
Vodafone Fiji Limited, Divik Deo, and
RFMF Land Force Commander, Colonel
Sitiveni Qiliho.
The
Permanent
Secretary
for
Infrastructure and Transport is also a
member of the LTA Board under the
relevant legislation and LTA chief
executive is an ex-officio member.
They will all take up a two-year term
with immediate effect.
While making the announcement,
Minister Kumar said he was delighted
that the LTA now has a Board capable
of presiding over the reform of the
organisation.
Each of these distinguished individuals
bring a particular set of skills to the table

and I am confident that the LTA is now
in good hands. I also want to thank them
for their contribution to the nation on
behalf of every Fijian.
The appointments were made in the
wake of the recent LTA inquiry and the
removal of the previous Board.
A report compiled by the Attorney
Generals office after nation-wide
consultations recommended the removal
of the board and appointment of a new one
to enhance the performance, operations
and service delivery of the LTA.
The 2016 Fijian national budget will be

announced on November 06, as confirmed
by Finance Minister and Attorney
General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
Speaking in Parliament, Sayed-Khaiyum
said they had initially planned to
announce the budget in December but
the date has been shifted forward to
allow a robust debate in Parliament.

The 2015 national budget was passed in
Parliament last year without the presence
of the Opposition as members opted to

walk out and did not participate in the
debate.

Boy Beaten Over Birthday Cake Dies

Police say a 9-year-old boy has died
after he was allegedly handcuffed and
beaten for eating a piece of birthday cake
without permission.
Hagerstown police Capt. Paul Kifer says
Jack Garcia died Sunday at Children's
National Medical Center in Washington.
Kifer says police will confer Monday
afternoon with Washington County
prosecutors about bringing additional
charges in the case.
The mother's boyfriend, 30-year-old
Robert Wilson, was charged Wednesday
with first-degree assault and child abuse.
The mother's brother told police the boy
was handcuffed Tuesday as punishment
for stealing the birthday cake. He says
Wilson hit the boy in stomach after the
handcuffs were removed.
It's not clear whose cake it was. The boy
had had a birthday three days earlier.

Late-Night Swimmer's Remains Found

Inside Dead Alligator
An Alligator that ate a late-night swimmer has itself been killed shot dead at a Texas marina.
An alligator that attacked and killed a

Texas man who ignored warnings about
the reptile and went for a late night swim
in a creek, has been found dead.
The body of Tommie Woodward, 28,
was found last Friday, floating half a
mile from the bayou in southeast Texas
where he was last seen swimming.
The 400lb, 11ft creature that attacked
him was shot dead by a customer at the
same marina, it was reported on Tuesday.
A man identified by local media as
"Bear" claimed to have shot the alligator
and local game wardens found some of
Woodward's remains inside it.
"He had to go," Bear told the Houston

Chronicle. "That's what happens when
you kill someone."
Woodward went swimming with a
companion at around 2:30 am Friday
when the pair spotted an 11-foot-long
gator.
Judge Rodney Price told local news
channel KFDM that the man had ignored
signs about alligators in the water.
He "made the ill-considered decision to
go into the water," Mr Price said.
"Someone shouted a warning, and he
said 'f--- the alligators,' and thereupon
jumped into the water and almost
immediately yelled for help."

A witness who came running when she
heard screams said she saw the huge
reptile attack Woodward.
"I asked him please do not go swimming,
there's a bigger alligator out here, please
stay out of the water," a tearful Michelle
Wright told KFDM.
"The next thing I know, this girl is
screaming: 'An alligator has got him, an
alligator has got him.'"
Woodward's body later was found with
puncture wounds to his upper chest
and left arm. Police said an autopsy is
pending.

Bill Cosby's Accusers Claim Vindication

After 2005 Admission He Gave Woman
Sedative Before Sex
Women who have accused Bill Cosby

of sexually abusing them claim they
are vindicated by court documents that
show the comedian testified to giving
sedatives to a young woman before sex.
The previously sealed documents from
2005 revealed the comedian admitted
under oath that he obtained Quaaludes
with the intention of using them to
procure sex an accusation more than
24 women have made.
"It was a glorious moment it made
my heart skip a beat," said alleged victim
Barbara Bowman of the revelations.
"It was quite a moment to say finally
someone is listening and now everyone
is listening and knows the truth."
Another accuser, Joan Tarshis, said: "We
were called liars. Now that the truth has
come out, that he has bought drugs in order
to drug women to have sex with him, I'm
just so relieved that the truth has come out."
Patti Masten, a former Playboy bunny
who accused Cosby of raping her in
1979, told CNN the revelation was a
"complete validation across the board"
for all of his accusers.
Ms Masten said she "woke up in bed,
naked, bruised and battered" after
taking "two sips" of a drink he had fixed
her.
A judge allowed Associated Press (AP)
to unseal part of Cosby's deposition in a
2005 sex abuse case which was settled
604.510.4088
out of court.
"When you got the Quaaludes
[sedatives], was it in your mind that you
were going to use these Quaaludes for
young women that you wanted to have
sex with?" lawyer Dolores Troiani asked
him.
"Yes," replied Cosby, although later he
said he had misunderstood the question.
"Woman, meaning T....., and not
women," he said.
"She meets me backstage [in Las Vegas].
I give her Quaaludes," he said. "We then
have sex."
Cosby's lawyers tried to stop the release,
arguing it would embarrass him, but
district judge Eduardo Robreno wrote:
"Why would he be embarrassed by his
own version of the facts?"
"The stark contrast between Bill Cosby,
the public moralist, and Bill Cosby, the
subject of serious allegations concerning
improper [and perhaps criminal]
conduct, is a matter as to which the AP
and by extension the public has a
significant interest," the judge said.
Cosby's lawyers have since released a
statement, saying: "The only reason Mr
Cosby settled the 2005 case was because
it would have been embarrassing in
those days to put all those women on the
stand and his family had no clue. [And]
that would have been very hurtful."
While Cosby admitted having obtained
seven prescriptions for Quaaludes and
giving them to other people, he avoided
questions about who he gave drugs to
and when, and whether he gave women
drugs without their knowledge.
Lawyers say admission 'very important'
Gloria Allred, who represents more
than a dozen of Cosby's accusers, said
his statement was a "very important
admission".
"Well, I do understand he did admit
to using Quaaludes with one woman
and obtaining seven prescriptions for

Quaaludes with the intention of using it
to have sex with other women," she said.
Ms Allred said she was "very hopeful"
about using the admission in the case of
Judy Huth, who filed a civil suit accusing
the fallen star of sexual assault when she
was 15 years old.
In December, prosecutors declined to
charge Cosby over Ms Huth's claims
because the case was beyond the statute
of limitations.
"This confirms the allegations of
numerous victims who have said that
he has used drugs in order to sexually
assault them," Ms Allred said.
"This admission is one that Mr Cosby
has attempted to hide from the public for
many years and we are very gratified that
it is now being made public."
Washington DC-based lawyer Joseph
Cammarata, who has filed a defamation
lawsuit against Cosby, also said the
admission would benefit his clients if the
court agreed to take the case.
"This is a very, very important admission
... the kind of admission that he has been
attempting to hide from the public for
many, many years."
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jill
Scott, who publicly supported the star,
has turned her back on Cosby, saying the
latest revelations left her "completely
disgusted".
"Sadly his own testimony offers proof of
terrible deeds," she wrote on Twitter.
"I stood by a man I respected and loved.
I was wrong."
But experts say Cosby faces no prospect
of criminal liability because the statute
of limitations has expired.
"My best guess is other than bad publicity
and detrimental impact on his legacy, I
don't think he's going to suffer any legal
injury," New York Law School professor
Frank Bress said.

U Of A Hospital Unveils Canada's 1St

Stroke Ambulance
1st CT-scanner-equipped mobile unit in the world to offer stroke patient care beyond city limits
It's billed as Canada's first stroke

ambulance, a mobile unit "complete
with a CT scanner, clot-busting drugs
and the potential to cure a stroke before
the patient even reaches hospital."
The University of Alberta Hospital and
the University Hospital Foundation
unveiled the $3.3-million mobile
treatment centre Wednesday.
"Rather than waiting for the patient to go
to the stroke centre, we send the stroke
centre out to the patient," said Dr. Ashfaq
Shuaib, director of the stroke program at
the hospital, in a news release.
"We can scan the patient's brain and start clot
busting drugs right there in the ambulance.
"Reducing the door-to-treatment time
is critical in saving the patient's life and
limiting their disability. We can actually
cure them of the stroke."
The ambulance, custom-designed for
Edmonton and area, will be the "first CT
mobile stroke unit in the world to provide
stroke patient care beyond the limits of a
major urban centre," the hospital said.
Nearly one in four stroke patients who

received care at the University Hospital
in 2014 came from rural areas beyond
the Edmonton zone.
Researchers will study the impact of the
ambulance on patients' treatment and

recovery, as well as savings to health
care and the community over three years.
The total cost of the stroke ambulance is

Australian Man Dean Hofstee Appears In
New Delhi Court
An Indian national who killed an

Australian man in a hit-and-run incident
in Melbourne seven years ago has
appeared at an extradition hearing in
New Delhi, six weeks after he was
granted bail on medical grounds.
Puneet Puneet appeared at the Delhi court
house looking thin, unwell and exhausted
and had his face covered with a mask.
In 2009, the now-26-year-old pleaded
guilty to killing Queensland man Dean
Hofstee in Melbourne in a hit and run
incident, but he left Australia while on

bail awaiting sentencing.
He was on the run for four years before
being arrested in India in 2013.
Puneet was granted bail by the Delhi
court in May after claiming he was
suffering from a kidney condition.
After Thursday's hearing, Puneet refused
to speak to the media waiting outside the
court.
At times he struggled to walk and was
helped by his mother and father.
His lawyer, Kanhaiya Singhal, said his

client's appearance in court showed he
was willing to face justice.
"Puneet's health as you have seen is not
good. He is getting the treatment. By the
next date he will be OK," Mr Singhal
said.
Australian authorities have asked for
him to be extradited, but his lawyer has
said he should be tried in India.
The case has been adjourned until
October.
Glitch Leads To $1M In Retroactive Winnings
Nine people have retroactively won

more than a combined $1 million after
a display issue with a game on the
B.C. Lotto Corporation's website was
discovered.
"BCLC determined that an incorrect
configuration setting on the game
prevented the proper signaling of a
progressive jackpot win," the gaming
604.510.4088
authority said in a written statement

Wednesday.
The issue was with the Wizard of Odds slot
game on the BCLC website, which was
affected from July 2014 to June 10, 2015.
BCLC says it removed the game from
the website as soon as it discovered
the glitch and conducted a "thorough
review" of the game's data.
The technical issue only applied to

people who had progressive wins
playing the online game and had bet at
least one dollar. Some players who won
money were unaware of the winnings.
BCLC says, as a gesture of good will, it
will reimburse players who lost money
on the game during the 11-month period
it was malfunctioning.

Diet Tips To Boost Your Metabolism

Firing up your metabolism and
maintaining a healthy weight is easy
with these clever diet tips.
While the principles of weight
management are the same for most people
- eat less and move more - individual
differences in metabolism need to be
considered. Weight gain over time leads
to a number of metabolic changes which
can result in the body burning fuel less
efficiently. The trick with continued
weight loss is for individuals to be
able to master their own metabolism to
promote burning rather than fuel storage.
It's true that weight training to increase
muscle mass is the ideal way to increase
metabolic rate, but there are some other
food-related tricks that will also support
optimal fuel burning.
1. Eat less more often
Large meals inevitably mean relatively
high amounts of carbohydrates and

kilojoules. The more carbohydrate
you consume, the greater the amount
of insulin required to process this
carbohydrate. Over time, high levels
of insulin are related to weight gain.
Consume small meals and snacks every
three hours, in a portion that keeps you
feeling full for two to three hours. This
results in a small but significant increase
in metabolic rate over time. Remember
though, small snacks, not small meals, is
the key.
2. Eat more protein
Slightly more kilojoules are required
to burn the nutrient protein than
carbohydrate and fat. For this reason,
adding a protein-rich food such as lowfat dairy, lean meat or fish, nuts, soy or
eggs to meals helps to burn a few more
kilojoules.
3. Change your routine

If you always have cereal for breakfast or
a tuna sandwich for lunch, try swapping
your food choices and note the different
feelings of hunger and fullness you feel
with different foods.
4. Eliminate stimulants
Sometimes removing all stimulants such
as caffeine and artificial sweeteners from
the diet can help individuals get back in
touch with their body's natural hunger
and satiety signals.
5. Go clean
The less processed food in your diet, the
more effectively your body will process
your food. Eliminate processed cereal,
biscuits, snacks and meal replacements
from your diet. Instead, choose fresh
meat and fish, vegetables and snack on
dairy and nuts. Your hunger and satiety
signals will improve.
Eat For Healthy Skin

What you eat has a big impact on the
health of your skin.
How healthy you are on the inside
reflects how you look on the outside.
For healthy, more youthful-looking skin,
eat a diet rich in skin nutrients, as well
as drinking plenty of water and getting
regular exercise and sleep.
Researchers from the University of
Florence have recently discovered that
certain types of foods could accelerate
the production of free radicals and the
ageing of our skin up to 50-fold.
These foods are called advanced
glycosylated end products (AGE) and
they form a toxic mix of proteins and
sugars that increase free radical damage.
604.510.4088
AGE foods that should be reduced

include fried fish and meat, cakes, white
bread and pasta and soft drinks.
Top skin nutrients
Vitamin A: Milk, cheese, egg yolk,
fish liver oils and beta-carotene-rich
(provitamin A) foods such as carrots, sweet
potato, pumpkin, apricots and mangoes.
Vitamin C: Citrus fruits such as oranges,
mandarins and lemons, as well as fruits
such as kiwifruit and berries.
Zinc: Lean meat, chicken, fish, dairy

foods, brewer's yeast, eggs (yolk),
legumes, wholegrain cereals and bread,
pecans, sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
Antioxidants: Berries, green tea, red and
orange fruit and vegetables.
Healthy fats: Oily fish (salmon, trout,
mackerel,
sardines),
cold-pressed
flaxseed and extra virgin olive oil, nuts
and seeds (especially chia seeds), and
avocado.

Options To Help You Get Rid Of Belly Fat

Talk to your doctor about how to get
rid of belly fat. And before making an
appointment for surgery, take the time to
see what else you can do about it.
Declare war on love handles
Ah, love handles. Why do they hold
on so tightly? If youre a woman, your
hormones may sometimes enjoy making
life difficult for you. A decrease in
estrogen during menopause is linked
to an accumulation of stomach fat. On
top of that, the hormones leptin and
ghrelin, which trigger feelings of satiety
or hunger, can also play tricks on you.
Bad overall health habits make it worse;
getting inadequate sleep, for example,
can actually cause you to overeat. That
means getting a good nights rest is a fine
place to start in the battle to get rid of
belly fat.
Stress, stress, always stress
Stress is responsible for many health
problems, and stomach fat is not
excluded. The stress hormone cortisol
is known as a factor that can lead to the
thickening of your abdomen. Consult
your doctor and then get started with a
stress reduction practice such as yoga
or tai chi. But all the exercises in the
world and the best diet cant help you
get rid of belly fat if your hormonal
system is unbalanced. Your doctor can
determine if that is the case or if your
excess of abdominal fat is affecting your

cardiovascular health and your blood
sugar levels.
A few tips for controlling belly fat
Get from seven to nine hours of
sleep every night; a lack of sleep
affects your metabolism.
Exercise regularly; endurance sports
are best if you want to get rid of
belly fat.
Practice abdominal breathing and
relax with leisure activities.
Eat slowly, savour each bite, and
chew well.
Choose a diet rich in fibre, which
helps you digest fruits and vegetables
properly.
Opt for starches with a low glycemic
index, such as whole grains.
Avoid trans fats at all cost and fill-up
on omega-3-rich foods, such as fish,
hemp seeds, and linseed oil.
Consume lean proteins, such as fish,
poultry, and legumes.
Monitor your intake of fructose;
it is a natural sugar found in fruits
and jams, but it affects your blood
glucose levels and contributes to the
accumulation of fat.
Surgery, an option that calls for
reflection
Sometimes, surgery is the solution of
choice for dealing with an accumulation
of abdominal fat. The most common

procedures
are
liposuction
and
abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck); they
aim to remove subcutaneous fat or
excess skin in the abdominal area. These
surgeries are performed at cosmetic
surgery clinics. A prior consultation with
your general practitioner is a must.
A softer approach
There are other less invasive options
to eliminate fat such as laser lipolysis
(reserved for localized excess fats) and
cryolipolisis. These methods allow the
patient to return to a normal situation
immediately after the intervention. In
lipolysis, thermal laser beams break
up fatty cells while cryolipolisis does
somewhat the same using extremely
cold temperatures.
A sense of pride
In addition to consulting with one
of the health care professionals at
your local medical clinicdoctors,
nurses, nutritionists, dieticians, and
psychologistsyou might also choose to
speak to a personal trainer or even a life
coach about how to get physically active
and see yourself from a new perspective.
The battle may not just be about how to
get rid of belly fat, but also to develop
better self-esteem. Either way, setting
your health as a priority will make you
proud.

Natural Ways To Fall Asleep Without

Sleeping Pills
A lot of adults use prescription sleep

aids to ensure quality rest, according to
a recent study. But experts caution that
sleeping pills aren't always effective or
safe, and many think their use should be
limited.
If you have an insomnia disorder, you
probably need to see somebody who
specializes in insomnia, you might need
extra help.
Get Out Of Bed
One of the biggest problems people say
they have falling asleep at night is that
they just can't stop their minds from
racing. Without proper time to wind
down before hopping into bed, our
brains are likely to say, "Well, here's
what's on my plate!" as soon as you're
under the covers, essentially training us
to associate bedtime with fretting. It's
a little counter-intuitive, but get out of
bed if you're not asleep after 20, 30, 40
minutes.
Try Progressive Muscle Relaxation
First developed in 1915, this technique
will never get old. Progressive muscle
relaxation is a relaxation exercise in
which you systematically tense and
then relax all the muscle groups of
your body. It helps promote overall
physical relaxation, which has a number
of benefits on its own. It was shown to
reduce fatigue and improve sleep quality.
Meditate
If you'd rather quiet your mind but
leave your muscles out of it, a simple
mindfulness meditation may also do
the trick. A study found that meditation
can help fight insomnia. The researchers
found that meditators slept longer and
better thanks to the deep relaxation
powers of the practice. Some deep
breathing can help clear your mind and
better prepare you for sleep.
Take A Warm Bath
You can skip the candles and rose petals,
but a soothing soak really can help you
get to sleep. That's because relaxing in
the tub will raise your body temperature
slightly, and when you get out, the
rapid cooldown will mimic the natural
temperature drop the brain triggers as it
prepares for sleep. A small study found
that people who take a warm bath before
bed not only fall asleep more quickly,
but also report better quality of sleep.
Break A Sweat
Regular exercisers may not realize it, but
they're onto something. The physically
active report getting better sleep than
604.510.4088
people who don't work out. It seems that

the particular timing or form of exercise
isn't as important as whether or not you
simply move. The evidence is out there
that people who are even getting mild
exercise are sleeping better than those
who aren't.
Do Yoga
As a form of mind-quieting physical
activity, yoga may just be the best of two
worlds. And while there aren't exactly
scientific studies showing a regular
yoga practice can help you get more or
better sleep, we do know that yoga does
wonders for relaxation. If your sleep
problem is that you're unable to relax,
[yoga] could be a way to intervene.
Sniff Aromatherapy
Whether it's an essential oil, a bath
scrub, a sachet in an eye mask or even a
pillow or mattress, lavender is the scent
you're searching for if you want more
and better sleep. In a small study, a whiff
of lavender before bed resulted in more
deep sleep. And another study found that
smelling lavender helped a small group
of women with insomnia fall asleep
more easily.
Set Your Bedroom Up For Success
For people with insomnia, "the bedroom

just becomes unpleasant, a war zone."
That's why making a few simple changes
to make it as comfortable a setting
as possible. Maybe it's as simple as
buying a new set of comfy sheets. Other
bedrooms may be too light. Even the
faintest bit -- whether it's from behind
the drapes or beaming from the alarm
clock -- can keep you up. The bedroom
should also be quiet; consider investing
in a white noise.
Switch To Herbal Tea
Caffeine's a no-no, but caffeine-free
herbal tea may actually help you sleep.
Many "Sleepy Time" teas are made
from the same compounds used in
supplements that promote sleep, like
valerian or chamomile. Plus, there's
something inherently calming about a
warm sip before bed, even if it's just the
ritual of taking the time to do so.
Quit Smoking
Like caffeine, nicotine is also a stimulant,
and may lead to sleep disturbances
during the night. Researchers found
that smokers were four times as likely
to say they woke up feeling tired in the
mornings than nonsmokers.

is likely to cheer you up. On the same
day, Mercury will shift from its own
sign Gemini to enter a watery cardinal
sign, Cancer. Mercury will now be
placed in the 4th House from your sign.
Those dealing with offshore projects are
likely to benefit significantly during this
period. Businesspersons, especially, will
come across a good opportunity to strike
a lucrative deal from overseas. But avoid
investing money in a new venture. Those
doing a job are likely to be comfortably
placed financially, but Saturn placed
in the 8th House is likely to make you
feel discontent in one way or another.
Freshers seeking job opportunity are
likely to feel happy as they may get a job
of their choice around this time.
Taurus
After a long stint in its own sign

Gemini, Mercury will shifts into the
watery cardinal sign Cancer this week.
Mercury will now be placed in the 3rd
House from your sign to join Sun and
combusted Mars already placed therein.
The aggressiveness of these fiery planets
is now likely to be guided by shrewd
intelligent Mercury. Business and
salespersons looking to venture into a
new territory may be able to plan their
tours intelligently. Around Wednesday,
unexpected expenses related to domestic
matters are likely to upset your plans to
save money. Those of you doing a job
may have to toil hard and work extra
hours to meet deadlines. But fortunately,
your boss is likely to act as a guiding
force rather than a critic. This is likely to
encourage you to remain motivated and
give your best. Businesspersons too may
have a reason to cheer as high-worth
customers may come calling now. Those
dealing in foreign trade stand will gain a
lot this week.
Gemini
With Mercury, the ruler of your sign,

placed in own sign, your basic traits are
likely to come to the fore. And the good
thing is that Gemini, an air sign, will
present you as versatile and adaptable.
Communication will be the buzzword for
you this week. You have a constant craving
for knowledge and intellectual stimulation
604.510.4088
and may find it difficult to stick to just

one thing at a time. Moreover, with the
Moon placed in a dual-natured sign, you
may be unsure about your priorities. But
you are likely to have a good opportunity
to gain monetarily around Wednesday
and Thursday. However, come weekend
and you may end up spending on your
family and recreation. Around Thursday,
Mercury will leave own sign to enter
cardinal sign Cancer to join Sun and Mars
placed in the 2nd House from your sign.
Cancer
Your sign is known to be a complex one,

both at its best and its worst. Cancer is
supposed to be one of the most intriguing
signs of the zodiac. With the Moon as
ruler of your sign, you tend to be moody,
temperamental, sensitive and emotional.
But with the Sun and Mars both placed
in your sign now, you are likely to feel
energetic and raring to go. Mercury will be
in its own sign Gemini placed in the 12th
House, mainly related to expenses. This
will enable you to spend money wisely.
Moreover, the position of two positive
planets, Jupiter and Venus, is likely to
keep you in a healthy financial position.
However, with more guests visiting you
this week, family-related expenses stand
to increase substantially. With Jupiter
influencing own sign in the 6th House
related to employment, your position in
job will remain secure. Businesspersons
are also likely to profit from the benevolent
influence of Jupiter. Around Thursday,
Mercury, after a long stint in its own sign
Gemini, shifts to Cancer.
Leo
With debilitated and combusted Mars in

conjunction with the Sun in a watery sign,
you are likely to get very emotional now.
You may even intensely feel the pain and
stress experienced by another person.
And this is not surprising since being
compassionate is a virtue associated
with you. With Venus, the ruler of
the 10th House related to occupation/
karma, in conjunction with Jupiter, you
are likely to focus more on occupationrelated matters. Progress in your field of
activity is likely to become your priority.
You are likely to be prepared to take
up new challenges to achieve desired
results. However, retrograde Saturn
having aspect over your sign and in the
10th House is likely to put hurdles in
your routine work. This may slow down
the pace of your progress. Occasional
monetary gains are likely to make you
feel happy, stay motivated, and act with
conviction to achieve success. In job

also, retrograde Saturn may hold you
back from performing consistently.
Superiors may get annoyed with you for
lack of consistency in performance.
Virgo
Businesspersons and professionals

are likely to have gainful time here.
However, remain careful in financial
transactions. With Venus posited in the
12th House from your sign, you are
likely to be in a hurry to earn money. Be
cautions against indulging in speculative
activities. Businesspersons need to
take due precautions while extending
unsecured credit to first-time customer.
If you do not rigorously follow up, you
may lose money. With Jupiter and Venus
posited in the 12th House, mainly related
to expenses, you may tend to spend
money lavishly. You are likely to spend
money to buy luxuries and add comforts
in household. Around Thursday, ruler
of your sign Mercury changes sign to
enter Cancer. This change is likely to
favour businessperson and professionals
dealing with foreign companies.
Contacts developed now are likely to
last for a long time. Barring minor issues
like common cold and cough, no serious
health problem is foreseen.
Libra
With Venus posited in the 11th House,

distractions are likely to hold you back
from remaining focused on relevant
issue. You may be lured to indulge in
pleasure seeking activities which will
entail a lot of expenditure. However,
with two fiery planets, Sun and
debilitated Mars posited in the 10th
House from your sign, pressing matters
related to career are likely to keep you
preoccupied. With debilitated Mars in
square aspect with your sign and Rahu,
posited therein, you are likely to be
worked-up and may become aggressive.
With your lucky star, Mercury in own
sign, luck is to favour you to succeed
in your efforts to achieve desired level
of progress. Around Thursday, Mercury
after a long stay in its own sign, changes
sign to enter Cancer. Mercury now gets
posited in the 10th House from your
sign and joins Mars and Sun already
posited therein. Mercury here provides
necessary intellectual inputs in your
pursuits. In turn, you may now be able to
perform effectively.
Scorpio
Scorpio is a watery and fix-natured sign

which is why you are known to have an
604.909.4088
27
indomitable spirit to fight back and rise.

However, Saturn placed in your sign is
likely to have a subduing effect on your
spirits. It will make you realise the ground
realities and your limitations. The ruler
of your sign Mars will be debilitated and
placed in the 9th House from your sign
along with Sun. With the ruler of your
sign debilitated and combusted, you may
not have many choices. You may have to
accept what comes your way, whether you
like it or not. But the good thing is that you
are likely to get money for your efforts.
The positive influence of Jupiter over
the 2nd House related to money matters
will also help you maintain and improve
your financial position. If in a job, malefic
influence of Ketu is likely to keep you
on your toes and the urgency to meet the
deadline is likely to see you stressed.
Sagittarius
At home, you may be criticised for not

paying due to the requirements of family
members. It is not that you do not make
enough provision, but some minor slip
or oversight is likely to be highlighted
to your discomfort. Kids may complain
about you not spending enough time
with them. Remaining continuously
in touch with near and dear ones is a
must in a relationship. Basically, natives
of your sign are family-oriented and
love spending time at home. You want
your spouse to take care of mundane
things required to run domestic affairs
smoothly. Take it easy and do not get
too perturbed by criticism. This as a
transitory effect of planetary alliances.
Debilitated and combusted Mars can put
you in a hot spot for no fault of yours.
However, the ruler of your sign will be
well placed and aspects your sign. In

this way, Jupiter will provide respite
and help maintain your image as a good
provider of materialistic things.
Capricorn
The Sun, in conjunction with debilitated

and combusted Mars, will be placed in the
7th House from your sign, having direct
aspect over your sign. This conjunction
could make you temperamental. It may
annoy people around you. You may
sound arrogant and egoistic and the
worst-affected by your attitude will
be your spouse. If carried too far, this
tendency could cause permanent damage
to your personal ties and even a breakup. Moreover, Mars will aspect the 10th
House where Rahu will be placed at
the moment. This indicates a busy time
for you at the workplace. Relation with
boss is likely to be strained and you may
be scolded for lack of consistency. You
may strongly feel like rebelling but it
may not help you much. Even at home,
you could be pulled up for not paying
attention to domestic matters. As such,
you are a good provider of materialistic
things. So, the allegation of not paying
attention is likely to hurt you.
Aquarius
The ruler of your Sign, Saturn, will

be retrograde now and placed in the
10th House from your Sign. It will
aspect the 4th House from your Sign,
related to domestic matters, and the 7th
House, which is related to partnership,
spouse and day-to-day activities. With
retrograde Saturn placed in the 10th
House, you are in for some real hard
work, irrespective of what occupation
youre engaged in. You may need to
learn a few new technologies in your

field of activity and try to sharpen your
skills. Also, this is not the right time to
venture into a new arena. The influence
of Saturn over the 7th House, where
Jupiter is placed, may sour your relations
with your spouse and the differences are
likely to be difficult to resolve. You will
need to make concerted efforts to mend
fences. Try to be more accommodating
and dont make the difference of opinion
a prestige issue. You may need to
pamper your spouse and understand his/
her problems.
Pisces
At the beginning of this week, the

Moon will be placed in your sign.
Pisces can be described as sensitive,
spiritual, scrupulous, stubborn, and
often sympathetic yet shrewd. The ruler
of your sign, Jupiter, will be in Leo and
placed in the 6th House from your sign,
mainly related to ailments, diseases
and adversity. This planetary position
indicates that you are likely to be stressed
on account of one issue or the other most
of the time. If you are suffering from any
chronic or old health issue, this is the time
when you will need to be very careful.
But the good news is that the aspect of
this benevolent planet is likely to have
a soothing effect. The influence over
the 10th House related to Karma seems
conducive for growth. Businesspersons
may be able to consolidate their position
effectively and work toward increasing
their market share. If you are doing a
job, there is a likelihood of you being
entrusted with some important task to
handle. This will keep you motivated
and help you improve your performance.
No One Can Replace Feroz Khan In

'Welcome' Series - Nana Patekar
Veteran actor Nana Patekar, who will be
seen in 'Welcome Back' says there is no
one who can replace the late legendary
Feroz Khan.
Feroz had played the role of Don RDX in
the Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif starrer
2007 film.
Now that the makers are coming up with
a sequel, Nasseruddin Shah will get into
the shoes of the yesteryear actor.
Shah will be seen essaying a rib-tickling
don 'Wanted Bhai' in the film, which hits
screens on September 4.
604.510.4088
"No one can replace Feroz Khan saheb.

He used to treat us like kids. If he was
there he would have done that role.
But Naseer sir is equally talented and of
that caliber and hence he is doing this
film," Nana told reporters here at the
trailer launch of the film.
'Welcome Back', a comedy sequel
to the 2007 film "Welcome", has an
ensemble cast including Nana Patekar,
Anil Kapoor and Paresh Rawal reprising
their roles from the prequel, while John
Abraham, Shruti Haasan, Nasseruddin
Shah, Dimple Kapadia are the new

additions.
On Akshay Kumar not being part of
the sequel, director Anees Bazmee
said, "The first film that we made was
a complete film and the role of Akshay
Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Mallika
Sherawat ended there.
When you see this film you will see that
the hero cannot be Akshay who was a
nice man in that film and in this movie,

Shahid Hitched In Low-Key 'Vivah' With

Delhi Girl
Actor Shahid Kapoor and Delhi girl

Mira Rajput tied the knot on Tuesday
in a low-key ceremony at a farmhouse
on the capital's outskirts after months of
speculation surrounding their nuptials.
The wedding ceremony was attended
only by close relatives and friends, and
a grand celebration is yet to happen in
Mumbai.
The 34-year-old star, son of veteran
actor Pankaj Kapur and his former
wife Neelima Azim, married 21-yearold Mira, according to the traditions of
the Radha Soami sect, a philosophical
organisation based on the spiritual
teachings of all religions. Both the
families are followers of the group.
Mira, whose is said to have first met the
"Haider" star at a 'satsang' of the group,
pursued a bachelor's degree in English
from Delhi University's Lady Shri Ram
College.
The much-guarded wedding was
attended by around 40 to 50 guests,
according to sources.
Shahid opted for a white kurta-pyjama
and a safa (turban) for the marriage,
while his bride donned a green and pink
salwar-kurta with a dupatta wrapped
around her head. She completed her look
with a maang-tika on her forehead and
subtle make-up.
The "Jab We Met" actor, who is said
to be lodged at the Presidential Suite
of The Oberoi in Gurgaon, arrived in
the capital on Monday night for the
sangeet ceremony, while his parents
landed earlier to oversee the wedding
preparations.
The celebrations started on Monday
evening with a sangeet ceremony, where
Shahid was seen shaking a leg with
Mira on the hit wedding song "Saj dhaj
ke" from his film "Mausam". This was
leaked via a video, which went viral
online.
After their wedding on Tuesday morning,
the couple also attended a celebratory
lunch with their families. They changed
their ensembles, and while Shahid opted
for a pristine white sherwani designed
by Kunal Rawal, Mira looked elegant
and resplendent in a light pink and silver
embroidered lehenga with a veil over her
head.
604.510.4088
She sported an elaborate Navratna

neckpiece and earrings set, and teamed
her look with a 'maang-tika' and a
'jhoomar' on the side of her head.
The media was, in the midst of it all, kept
waiting for a glimpse of the duo since
Monday. But their efforts went in vain
until the couple came hand-in-hand to
greet the paparazzi at Gurgaon's Trident
hotel in the afternoon.
After the less-than-a-minute appearance,
Shahid even blew a flying kiss at the
shutterbugs, before he took his newlywed bride away.
Later, Shahid even shared a 'selfie'
with his bride on Instagram, and wrote:
"#hitched".
A dinner was hosted at The Oberoi hotel
in Gurgaon on Tuesday night. It will be
followed by a reception in Mumbai on
July 12, and Bollywood's gliteratti is
likely to light up the celebrations.
Shahid, who was previously in a
relationship with actress Kareena
Kapoor Khan for over three years and

later linked to his co-stars Vidya Balan,
Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma and
Bipasha Basu, had confirmed being fixed
with Mira at an event in March this year.
However, the actor kept the details of his
wedding under wraps, saying it is "my
personal space".
"She (Mira) is a normal girl and I am a
normal guy, and we should treat it like
something normal and regular. It's my
personal space and I won't get into the
details," he said.
On the career front, Shahid will next
be seen in Vikas Bahl's "Shaandaar"
opposite Alia Bhatt and in "Udta Punjab",
which is produced by Vikramaditya
Motwane.
Meanwhile, he will also be seen making
his debut on the small screen as a judge
on the celebrity dance reality show
"Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded".
This leaves no time for a honeymoon for
Mrs. & Mr. Kapoor.

No One Can Replace Feroz Khan - Nana Patekar

Continued From Page 27
John plays a bhai and he is best for the

role." Nana who has earlier worked with
Anil is all praise for his co-star.
"After 19 years we did a film together..
After 'Parinda' we came together for
'Welcome'. I remember that time Anil
was a star and I was a newcomer. I had
a great bonding with Anil while working
on this film.
He is like my younger brother," Nana
said.
'Welcome Back' marks the comeback
of the famous pair of Uday bhai (Nana
Patekar) - Majnu bhai (Anil Kapoor).
"I felt good doing this role after seven
years. If I keep doing same stuff people
will get bored. I am happy and lucky
I got to be part of this film. My and
Nana's character go hand in hand. Our
characters of Majnu bhai and Uday
Shetty are incomplete without each
other," Anil said.
Also, John and Nana worked together in

"Taxi No 9211".
"John was raw... Used to get scared. But
you must see him in this film. I am proud
of him," he said.
John, whose last big-screen outing was
two years back with "Madras Cafe", will
be seen playing the role of Ajju bhai in
the film.
John's character is completely opposite
to the simpleton Rajiv, played by Akshay
Kumar, in "Welcome".
"I don't stress on a film. I don't think
about the results. My job is to act and I
focus on that. I am not insecure. Whether
my film comes after two years or three
years," he said.
Previously, John has worked with Anil
in "Shootout at Wadala", with Nana in
"Taxi No 9211" and with Paresh Rawal
in "Garam Masala".
"The chemistry with all of them is
special. I give credit to Anees (director)
for guiding me. The bonding with all

of them was fabulous, positive and
fantastic," he said.

FIFA Bans Former Executive Committee

Member Chuck Blazer From Football For Life
FIFA has banned its former executive

committee member Chuck Blazer from
all football activities for life following
its scandal over alleged corruption.
Blazer, who was also general secretary
of CONCACAF, which governs the
sport in North and Central America and
the Caribbean, was banned by FIFA's
ethics committee, which said its decision
was based on investigations in response
to facts presented by US prosecutors.
Blazer secretly pleaded guilty in 2013
to various bribery and financial offences
and is cooperating with authorities,
according to a plea deal unsealed by US
prosecutors last month.
"Mr Blazer committed many and various
acts of misconduct continuously and
repeatedly during his time as an official
in different high-ranking and influential
positions at FIFA and CONCACAF,"
FIFA said in a statement.
"In his positions as a football official, he
was a key player in schemes involving
the offer, acceptance, payment and
receipt of undisclosed and illegal
payments, bribes and kickbacks as well
as other money-making schemes."
Blazer was found to have breached FIFA
rules on loyalty, confidentiality, duty of
disclosure, conflicts of interest, offering
and accepting gifts and bribery and
corruption.
FIFA president shifts blame
Embattled FIFA President Sepp Blatter
has told a Swiss newspaper that
continental confederations, rather than
soccer's world governing body, were
to blame for the corruption scandal
engulfing the game.
In a wide-ranging interview with the
right-wing weekly Weltwoche, published
today, Blatter maintained his view that
FIFA had done nothing wrong and could
not be held responsible for the actions of
individuals from continental federations.
"There is no wangling under the direct
influence of FIFA," he was quoted as
saying.
"But our influence over contracts
concluded by the confederations is
practically zero."
Asked whether he bore any responsibility
as the head of FIFA, Blatter replied that
crime was a part of all walks of life.
"It is impossible to stamp out robbery
and murder, even with a functioning
courts system down to community
level," Blatter said.
"Football is not better than our society."
604.510.4088
Former FIFA member Chuck Blazer pleaded guilty to various bribery and
financial offences.
FIFA was thrown into turmoil after 14
sports marketing executives and soccer
officials, including several from Zurichbased FIFA, were indicted by the US in
late May on bribery, money laundering
and wire fraud charges.
Seven of those accused were arrested by
Swiss police in a dawn raid on a luxury
Zurich hotel two days before the FIFA
congress, where Blatter was re-elected
for a fifth term as president.
They are in custody awaiting extradition
to the US.
US prosecutors have not accused Blatter
of any wrongdoing, but his stewardship
of FIFA is under scrutiny, sources
familiar with investigations in the US
and Switzerland have said.
In a shock announcement four days
after the May arrests in Zurich, Blatter
said he would lay down his mandate at
an extraordinary FIFA congress which
will take place between December and
February, but he would not be candidate.
The Swiss reiterated to Weltwoche that
he would not stand, saying it was "in

principle not" possible that he would
remain as head of FIFA.
Criticism 'rooted in envy'
Blatter he said he would leave FIFA
even if the extraordinary congress asked
him to stay, adding that he thought the
criticism against him was rooted in envy.
"This envy has been festering for years.
Envy is a predicate to jealousy. And
jealousy is rooted in love. This can
however turn to hate. And that's what
happened when this tsunami hit us two
days before the congress," he said.
Quizzed about why he did not do more
to prevent any wrongdoing within his
organisation, Blatter gave a sarcastic
explanation, and likened the ongoing
crisis to a football tournament he was
confident of winning.
"I not only see everything, I'm
responsible for everything, even for the
English women's own goal at the World
Cup recently," Blatter said.
"Am I responsible for climate change
too?"
