Armoogum Parsuramen: “Government members behave as if they were the owners of Mauritius”

May 18, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Touria Prayag

He was minister of education, he is involved in the Mauritius Tamil Federation Vs the State dispute over land allocated to building a Tamil cultural centre and withdrawn by the state and he is a vociferous politician. We sit down with Armoogum Parsuramen this week to have his views on each of these topical issues. There are several topics I would like us to talk about because of the several hats you wear. Let’s start with education.
Promoting the image of the SST

May 11, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Touria Prayag

The Special Striking Team has struck again this week. Twice. Once at Vimen Sabapati and once at our colleague Harish Chundunsing. Both instances are related. At least one is shameful and should not be tolerated in a democratic society. No one is saying that Sabapati is innocent of the drug trafficking offence that he is being accused of. No one is saying he is guilty either.
Crash d’avion en 1987: Éclairage sur une valise retrouvée parmi les débris d’Heidelberg

May 6, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Patrick Michel

L’auteur qui était journaliste à «l’express» au moment du crash d’un avion de la South African Airways en 1987 revient sur ce drame. L’histoire derrière la photo d’une valise et la série des débris publiés en primeur dans l’express sur le crash d’Heidelberg en novembre 1987 est assez cocasse. A la page 91 du livre sur les 60 ans de l’express, la photo de cette valise recouvrée en mer mérite un éclairage. La photo ne peut être historiquement attribuée à Vel Kadressen.
Interview with Catherine Leclézio: the Roches Noires village deserves to live, not bear the load of someone else's greed

May 4, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Touria Prayag

The project Green Hills has raised a big controversy in the Roches Noires region. Between those who are suspicious of the effect of such a big construction on the environment and those who worry about the fate of the villagers, a thick confusion has been created. We talk to Catherine Leclézio, a social activist who has attended the meetings organised by the promoters and has been following the progress of the project. Is the Green Hills project as green as its name suggests?
Drink, dance and be merry!

May 4, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Touria Prayag

The video of Attorney General Maneesh Gobin’s dance on the MSM stage on May Day made the rounds. Keeping the same beautiful grin on, he merrily danced and danced. And – as looking a fool never killed anyone – he even found dancing partners to join in the beautiful show. Show of what exactly, some compatriots were wondering. What is it they were celebrating with such glee?
Je réponds présente !

May 1, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Touria Prayag

Le 60e anniversaire de l’express célébré cette semaine était un grand moment et hommage a été rendu aux grands qui ont contribué à cette belle aventure. J’ai lu avec délectation les articles tissés par mes collègues dans un beau livre souvenir – Le Récit d’un Journal (et d’un pays), que je vous recommande à tous – et j’ai pris un grand plaisir à croquer les souvenirs minutieusement détaillés. Je n’ai pas été invitée à offrir ma perspective pour épaissir ce livre. Sans rancune.
60 ans de l'express: le collectif des illustres anonymes

Apr 27, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Patrick Michel

Cette réflexion d’un diplomate américain en poste à Port-Louis il y a une bonne quarantaine d’années vaut toujours son pesant d’or. Non seulement pour les membres du corps des journalistes qui, tant que bien mal, peuvent accéder à la notoriété au sein de la société. Mais quid de ces «Illustres Anonymes» de la presse, qui ont opéré dans ce que le jargon du monde du travail d’aujourd’hui présentera plus élégamment comme le back-office ?
The short man who once stood tall

Apr 27, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Touria Prayag

He once stood so tall and earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues and constituents. One can safely say that the weight of his contribution to the MSM’s victory in the 2014 election is not negligible. Sadly, the image built over the years of a respected and competent lawyer and principled man who, in a previous life chose to resign at the whiff of a scandal, has thawed like ice in the warmth of the mid-afternoon sun. The sight of Ivan Collendavelloo today is pitiful.
Bhadain and the rest of the opposition

Apr 20, 2023 | lexpress.mu | Touria Prayag

I do not necessarily agree with Leader of the Reform Party Roshi Bhadain’s suggestion inviting six members of the opposition MPs to resign and trigger a general election, though I see where he is coming from. I think such a proposal is based on the naïve assumption that the MSM government has a code of honour and that there is a level below which it would not stoop to hold on to its privileges and avoid any accountability. Considering their moral compass, such a move would be dangerous.
