IS SEYCHELLES THE NORTH KOREA OF INDIAN OCEAN?
Jean-Paul David says he was hit in the face with a baton during a late-night raid. A young man was hospitalized on Monday evening after sustaining serious injuries from what he says was a police beating. Jean-Paul David, 25, who lost teeth and hurt his right leg in the incident, now says he is planning to lodge a court case against the authorities. The police have launched an investigation in the allegation of police brutality, confirmed Police Public Relations Officer, Jean Toussaint. TODAY visited Mr David in the D’Offay Ward yesterday afternoon. Speaking through his friend, on account of the heavy swelling around his mouth, he said the incident unfolded at 8:00 pm in Roche Bois, Belonie. A group of 15 people were hanging around the area, when he says a small pickup and a Terios pulled up. Without identifying themselves, police then shot a canister of teargas at them, sending the group running in every direction, he recounts. Along with everyone else, he set ...
There are persistant report within SPDF that a coup detat is being prepared.
ReplyDeleteNo one will ever make a coup d'état in SPDF, they are all gutless and ignorant as the soldiers of the early days who could not differentiate between left foot and right foot, the only way they could be drilled on the parade ground was with commanding words of 'Lapaille' 'chiffon'. A piece of straw tied to the left foot and a piece of rag to the right foot. That's how stupid they were!
DeleteYou are right, never tell your enemies that you are coming.... A bunch of idiots, time wasting part-timers. More like dad's army than professional soldiers, they are an insult to an AK47..... Sergeant bare foot.... Left! Right! Left! Right!
DeleteCoup d'etat from SPDF? It's like a chicken killing a dog.
DeleteActions speak louder than words!
DeleteThis is from a young soldier who served in Iraq: "I've seen it, and done it. I've seen everything you've ever seen in a war movie. I've seen cowardice; I've seen heroism; I've seen fear; and I've seen relief. I've seen blood and brains all over the back of a vehicle, and I've seen men bleed to death surrounded by their comrades. I've seen people throw up when it's all over, and I've seen the same shell-shocked look in 35-year-old experienced sergeants as in 19-year-old privates"...... SPDF do not even know what war is about or the meaning of it.
DeleteDemocracy in Seychelles PL style, shame on you Michel...... I was right, they cannot handle the truth..... Confirmed!!

ReplyDeleteYes,for one rupee and for one century long.Ususally the normal practice regarding land leasing (not sell out for constitution forbid land sell out or ownership by foriegners) aPremium should be paid by the tenant governemnt,landlord etc....And when the lease granted is of let us say,less than 50 to 60 years ,then some of the Premium charge should be treated as Rent.etc..etc..
ReplyDeletePP instead gifted foreigners our patrimony for one century long for free,thus loss in revenues then go and burden the private sector and the tourism industry with pharaoic taxes of all kinds to cover the loss.That is called fakeonomy princilpes the same that has led to our bankrupcy,increase poverty,high foreign debt,devaluation,and dependency of foriegn aids.This is bad economic and disingenous politics.
VAT for PP is the best system to collect maximum of money from oridnary people for fill governemnt coffers.The governement is sure that it would collect a bilk among of money from consumers even before knowing or being ure of how consumers would spend.
VAT contribution itself is not the problem,the problem is that governemnt introduce Irrelevant and unjustified high VAT on the private sector solely to compensate Pp^s economy fialures and inability to implememnt genuine economic policy that would boost productivity and growth.
Pp should revise its VAT policy,and ensure that any VAT system which is more efficient and not burdensome ofr the main taxes contributors namely the private sectors and most importantly the tourism industry.That is a VAT that allows governemnt to generate its necessary revenues but also that reduces the compliant cost of business.
How can governemnt finds the best equitable,burdenless VAT system--well by firstly putting in palce For instance A TRPATILE FORUM
consisiting of representatives of governemnt,business community and civil society.It aims would be to identify best practices ,the one that benefit both taxpayers and governemnt equitably.A reduction in or halting it temporary,who boost economic growth which has more potential for real economic growth,create jobs which means also more power of purchase to citizens,etc...
What has countries in fianacial difficulties done to rescute their economic and get out of the crisis?Well,many countires including USA,governemnt has either inject billions in the eocnomic by helping enterprises fiancially or simply by cutting taxes .This inturn speed up gorwth and thus allow the country to get out faster out of the crisis.In other words,the revenues result from tax-cut would increases revenues by more than the upfront cost.
To compensate the loss in VAT revenues after a reduction,Pp governemnt could find other means,for instance,higher duty or tax on imported producted vavilalbe locally.Foreign Residents who just having houses,villas on PASSION ISLAND;EDEN ISLANDS etc... but who donot have any economic activities in our land,should contribute.Exapts earning salary of that of a PP minister,should contribute(NB we lost 1.2 billion ion revenues becuase of financial leakage created by Expats),moreover,individual persons like the guy renting his house to MAzteri for a fortune,income of rent should be tax,for it is not a normal tourism related business .etc..etc.
In a word,there are other means of genrating revneues for governemnt than burdening private sectors with pharaoic taxes,that do not reflect economic reality of our country.

Foreigners are free to enjoy our beautiful country, not owning it. This is what happened to native Americans, failed to control their country, now living on reservations.
DeleteDouglas made an appeal for general SABOTAGE. Appropriate in Seychelles situation.
ReplyDeletePP block their tweeter because they can not take the heat!!get out of the kitchen can not take the heat.
ReplyDeleteSeychellios instead buying book of Michel.I recommend you to better buy a book of GABERIAL GRACIA MARQUEZ you can order it online especially Seychelles opposition can give you a vision to bring change.
Sabbotage will not destroy PP but society.We must not see or think that after PP we will desaspeared like ATLANTIS----What we need is target Ppm embers and ilks directly .If you want to get rid of bad grass the solution is to destory the roots,than you can be sure it won't grow anymore,the same must be with PP.Moreveor,you do not destory,put fire in your house becuase you think a rat is hiding somewhere in it,What you do is try to use poison and other means and thus target the rat directly.
ReplyDeleteOn the COUP.When you hear that a coup is being palnned(a traditional COUP conducted by army) it means the coup should it exist ,is already a faiflure for its has become public and anyone who attempt to do it will failed.You might tell me,i want to oust PP too and i made it public?Yes,for amny reasons----1)that PP is aware of it,and have enough time for them to change themselves.for if they< donot the consequences would be lethal,2)Since Michel has convivnced himself that he is a big Genral--i want him to get prepare in order that i can give him a military lesson he has never dreamt off.*)Becuase those guys i have are highly proffessional and NO ONE would or could stop them.4)that those would do not want to loose thier live,take the inititive to leave Pp now,if they fail to do so,they will face the same punishemnt as Pp thus lethal punishment.%)That none come and tell us they didnot known,forgive ,pardon them---there would be no pardon,execuse,whatseoever for those who fialed to changed themsleves when my guys start their operation----there would be two things namely SEARCH AND EXECUTE THEM.

VAT in Singapore is 7%.
ReplyDeleteIn Seychelles it is 16.5 %.
In Mauritius it is 10%
What up PL?
How do you expect us to compete with similar destinations at these rates?
It is not "perks", it is called CORRUPTION, pure and simple.
ReplyDeleteWould you keep your job if you blew the budget? Michel and PL did.
ReplyDeletePL present: ECONOMIC DISASTER II... Starring James Michel and Danny Faure. Coming to a home, hospital, school and business near you.
ReplyDeleteWhy is PL silent on economic downturn? Silent as if they are hiding things again?
ReplyDeleteThe biennial Seychelles honorary consuls conference which will take place at the Kempinski Seychelles resort at Baie Lazare on April 23-24, and the event is organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, why the Nation failed to say who are those Honorary Consuls? - because most of them are foreigners!
ReplyDeleteSeychellois are not representing their own country overseas and they are not allowed to vote whilst overseas! Shame on those responsible for this gross anomaly.
This is one clear reason why the political parties in Seychelles are raising their protests amidst the call from President Michel for national unity. SFP is calling for 'Seychelles pour Seychellois' and SUP is saying 'Ennou Reprend nou pei'
Meanwhile, as energetic as ever, Mancham will leave Seychelles on Wednesday this week to take part in a meeting of the club de Madrid in Baku Azebaijain. SENT BY P.L. AND PAID BY OUR TAX MONEY.
ReplyDeleteThis is a disgrace. Michel uses foreigners to represent Seychelles overseas when there are Seychellois who will do it for free.
ReplyDeleteEvery Internatinal coferences ,meeting are held at Kenpinski;it is a way of attempting to polish the tarnished image of a hotel that is in fact a brothel of Arabs.Donot forget that in the robbery that deposed a real foreign investor from his asset,PP was the main palyer in the crook act.Thus it is right to say ,that PP thugs are consciously invovle in the sex slave traffick and approved it.Moreveover,though many complain about the illegal actives that had been going on in this Brothel,Pp thugs has never undertaken any singlenot even a fake investigation,a situtation that once again porve Pp invovlement in the gorss Huamn rights abuse call Sex slave and Human trafficking.Not only all important meetings are held at Kempinski brothel,when it is not at Kempinski brothel it meetings ,conferences including about important issues such as FAMILY EMPOWER;BLUE ECONOMY;etc.. are hled in DOHA ;QATAR etc.....

VAT due to fragile economic situtation of the country created by mis-amamngement,economic illiteracy and ignorance of economic priciples by Pp,SHOULD be wither cancel VAT competely for a tempoary period in order to Boost economic growth,job creation,boost consumption,etc..which effects would genrate MORE REVENUES to governemnt than pharaoic VAT rate and many other unjustified Taxes that simply impede growth,which help keep us in this economic abyss.
ReplyDelete,O^r reduce VAT rate to let say : 6 to 8 percent.Look,the essential role of a governemnt is not to rob bisunesses for their profit but to porvide the appropriate environemnt for economic growth and development.Government's priority and economic policies must be geared towards ensuring that jobs are created,while at the same time increase the purchase power of our citizens.This entails an adoption of the appropriate mix of fiscal,monetary,exchange rates and other polcies such as taxes reduction,espeically ifor the tourism indsutry the motor of our economy,aimed at increasing employment,keeping inflation low,and generating economic growth.The hike in VAT at the current rate stalled retail sales,we have never recovered.
REDUCE VAT to stimulate economy Pp!

ReplyDeleteSFP is calling and has been calling Sesel Pou Seselwa since its exsitance,while SUP is calling Ennou Reprend nou pei behind the old court where no body hears them,for tthe later is not honest nor geniune.If Volcere Wants to REPREND NU PEI and has a functional brain,he should recognize ANNOU means The mass and maybe he should start having direct contact with NOU--but if NOU means RAM:VOLCERE and PIERRE then SUP---which is the modern version of SPUP--without the P which would have meant PEOPLE--thus sound more comMuinst.
RAM,VOLcere,PIERRE are stooges--they would probably stay stooges unless PP can no longer finance their lavish life style,greediness and selfishness.
jeanne D'Arc
Ram, Vol and Pierre are doing it for THEMSELVES, they do not give a damn about ordinary Seychellois, that is why we have been in limbo. These guys should have no future in the NEW SEYCHELLES.
ReplyDeleteThe hard working people of Seychelles, your daily grind funds PL and their cronies celebrity lifestyle..... It is time to wake up and smell the coffee, it is time to take your country back!!
ReplyDeleteMr Volcere could not even managed a Pub (Bar) when he was in the UK, will you trust him with the finances of the Seychelles? Only one word, BUST!!
ReplyDeleteFather Ram's loyalty is to a church named after a foreign country, keep him there and out of power, Amen!
ReplyDeleteJust like Manchester United, "the chosen one" can quickly become the wrong one..... Make your vote count, vote S.F.P!
ReplyDeleteS.D.P is dead......R.I.P !
ReplyDeleteYes vote for sfp but you have to win the heart of Seychellios peoples to get their vote and you have go door to door and visit Seychellios who need help and listen to their problems staying only in office you can foreget about election.PP have stolen money on their offshore account and foreign sponser to buy vote.
ReplyDeleteI agree, S.F.P have to be pro-active, sleeves up and start knocking on doors. They also have to be more specific about day to day issues like health, education, employment, the economy, crime and so on...... A clear manifesto will do nicely for a start.
ReplyDeletePlease, call Mr Gill and ask him a copy of SFP manifesto. He will gladly send you one.
DeleteWill do...
DeleteSFP has been very active indeed since it existence.Looking on waht SFP has done is the very short time.I got the felling people are short minded and forget fast what SFP had achieved since its existence.Of course,we all would like that SFP do more,but even when it would do more we would never be competely satify for their would be always more to do.
ReplyDeleteThere are many examples of SFP achievements-----a recent one --is the fact that now UN,USA are pressuring PP,but also the action of Mr Craig woh is simply doing what SFP has been asking for since its existenceIf Khalifa did not build his Mosque in our christian Naval base,it is not becuase PP did not want or RAM and Volcere possed it,but beucase of SFP who exposed PP and his foriegn gangsters.If At Takama PP fialed to destory the eco-sytem it was not becuase of RAM,Volcere but partly becuase SFP was at the front line exposing PP crimes.the list is endless.Go back to SPF archieve ,check for yourselves all the things SFP has achieved so far--there are articles on them.
Maybe should ask RA and Volcere to provide one single thing they done for the poeple and country.You waht without the present of SFP ,today Seychelles would have been competely sell out,Seychelles Natives would have benn turned into the minority in their own land,more illegal sell out would ahve been commonpalce,including outter isalnds,passports,DITOT to money paunderying,fiancial leakage,Michel's illegal Offshore company,etc..etc All those exposures did not come from PP itself,nor from RAM,VOlcer,Bulle MNacham,Pierre,or any collaborators,but from SPF.SFP has been and is the only real politcal party that has proven it genuity,honesty,determination,perserverance,fighting spirits etc in the face of state organized teror,and the criminals that perpetuate those crimes.Without SFP,Seychelles would by now turned Islamic,and become an Arab,Indian,SriLankan,Chines or in a word Aisan populated country.
We should praise and support SFP,and its leadership for the continued,non-stop fight they been conducting ALONE against PP teorristss and its rich and powerful foriegn friends such as Khalifa,Siva,and others.

Man U!! Moyes accept his poor management and bad result but pp crooks don't what to accept their wrong doing the way of governing this littel island and bad management in all deparments seen Jam took office.Seychellios have shown pp yellow card for so long its time to give them the red one.

ReplyDeleteLooking the positions taken by SFP on the various issues,from the country's economical,social,and politcal situtations,this should give you a insight of what a SFP manisfesto would be.It would entail the unchanged positions SFP publcily,openly,honestly,talk about.SFP stands to its words ,actions(like when telling Seychellois its would write to International organizations to check up on PP.And after various letters sent to international organnizations PP is now being pressured on by UN,USA,.It is the results of SFP's unbreakable dertermination tan its (talk the talk and walk the walk) and this is being confirmed by MR Criag actions,an example among many others).I guess ,SFP has long proved its seriousness,and keep its words while in the last 4 decades Partilepep ,with the complicity of stooges RAM,VOLCERE,Boulle have done nothing than lie and rob the Seychellois people.I would prefer to see honest politcal party that holds to its words than a gang of criminals lying continually to their people and robbing them ,and plundering the country.
Partilepep does not deserve a red card,but a ban for life.
Volcere has step down as leader of SUP,what his up to now?
ReplyDeleteVolcere is playing smart....he will join JRM and latter join PP in August during Manchanm birthday.
