The importance of Small and medium-sized businesses?

You are kidding! Just like the FNPF is 'kidding' when it insists it is 'working on it 24/7'...paying the pensioners, that is! Whoever worked in Fiji in recent history, the History of Folly that Fiji has become 24/7? Certainly not to our benefit! Merely to rip us all off. Especially if we are old and vulnerable and disposable.

Now do you understand why recent Jewish History is so relevant? Smart at last!! and too damn late.

"Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against they neighbour.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

(Exodus ch.20 v 12)

Has the FNPF yet paid "our father and our mother" their contracted due? Until this is achieved, no one at the FNPF neither Chairperson, board member nor any staff member should be paid. All former board members (including Chairpersons) should be obliged to repay the FNPF whatsoever remunerations they have received to date going back to December 2006
It will, of course, be insufficient. However, an important principle will have been established. Monies held in trust are paid first to those who signed contracts (in good faith) to receive them. The biblical enjoinder, the Ten Commandments, serves to reinforce what we already know: the dignity of man and woman is not to be impugned by any person.
