Dear Gavin,Congratulations on your selection to become Attorney General. I find it my duty to pen these words especially given the fact that during the last ten years, the legal profession did not feel there was any person acting in that capacity and the judiciary was left without any reform worthy of its name. The former Attorney General severed all links with the legal profession and shut himself in an ivory tower.

Sheila BunwareeFirst, allow me to express my solidarity and support to the protesters of the ‘Mouvement Rann Nou la Ter’ who have been subjected to an abuse of power and violence by certain members of the police. I do not know all the members of this movement personally but the one person I know and who I hold in high esteem as a former colleague/friend is Rajen Narsinghen, and who is also an active supporter of the NGO I founded a few years ago: People’s Voices Network.

When Kristin Surak and I sat down to conversation at a café in the grounds of a sugar estate in the North, I was envisaging a quick interview, with a few questions about the nature and development of Kristin’s research, from a purely academic standpoint. Instead, I came out of almost three hours of engagement with new and profound insights into a subject that is and will remain crucial in the economic life of Mauritius: citizenship/residency-by-investment.

Kwang PoonPrologueIn this paper – which aims to be instructive and academic in nature – I shall attempt to demonstrate how certain aspects of the ‘Laboutik Sinwa’ (Chinese Shop abbreviated as CS) correlate to modern business practices as taught in the top business schools around the world.

Kwang PoonGeopolitical StrategistThe Red Sea Crisis is starting to affect global trade. In Chinese, the world crisis is translated into Weiji （危机）, which is a juxtaposition of both danger and opportunity. Perhaps, the Chinese version renders a more comprehensive picture of the situation as both risks and opportunities arise concurrently amidst the Red Sea Crisis.

“Poetry is like a musical composition. One has to see if and where a note fits”. Faiz Ahmed FaizI wrote on Faiz for the publication of the Urdu Speaking Union more than three decades back.

The poems are selected by Khalid Hasan who also edits the work. Daud Kamal, for his part, has translated the poems from the original Urdu into English.
