This was clearly visible in his speech during the inauguration of the access road to the Reduit Triangle yesterday: Mo bizin remersye promye minis, Dr. Navin Ramgoolam, san so vizyon, san so sutyen, san so kolaborasyon, san so sipor, san so ed nu pa ti pu kav fer li.
Not bad, eh? Having trouble with synonyms? Don't despair, you can get some help here.

What about these:
Eulogizing, inflating, exagerating, puffed-up,panegyrize, extol, gush, etc etc
U bon net paa! (ou maa?)
2 sigzestyon:
1. partisip dan CNN Africa Awards lane prosen
2. poz u kandida u remplass Baichoo lot kut
No chance for a communist here alas!
Or it meant that -
Ramgoolam likes it and expects Ministers to praise him, praise him praise him, praise him or else!!
let's see his reaction at the wheel in the following circumstances:
- 1 - He's leaving Vandermeersch street towards Rose Hill, takes a right turn towards Cybercity and approaches the first roundabout: which lane to take to go to towards Cybercity?
- 2 - He's leaving Cybercity heading towards Rose Hill, meets with the same roundabout mentionned in (1) above: which lane to take? Optional question: why do every vehicle take the proper lane and then suddenly change lanes while taking the roundabout?
Let me stop here: there are already so many ill-designed and executed roadworks that beg to be amended (look at MPI's reports) and he's unable to tackle but still finding time to verbally lick the boots of his PM.
And what are the achievements so commendable that earned him that title of GOSK?
He knows how to garner votes, last time I heard the PM praising him he said - moi mo content ca kalite personne la dans Ptr.
Road networks are ill-designed here, not a new thing, each time I land in S.A(about 5 times a year) I ask myself how easy it would be copy paste this system of using robots as they are called there instead of roundabouts.
Anil popiler lor terin. Me bizin tu kalite dimun dan Ptr: bizin sirtu dimunn ki kav reflesi kuma bizin ek ena drive pu fer bann zafer arive -- sinon u pu truv letan pas divan u.
Zot finn atann robust growth pandan 5 banane olie zot travay. Groupthink maladif.
Baichoo will be promye minis after the current retires. Many people dont know this!!
High fidelity eh - 'promye minis', movais garcon
Agree he got a GOSK and to be honest what is it worth anyway, but...... see many of our MP's are doing a poor job.
Now, let's take the case of vehicle registration plates. Whilst it is THE thing to do, Baichoo missed the whole point on explaining why and how it should have been done in the first place until he was asked a STUPID question(its surely on the website there) by Dr Boolell of the oposition who meant to say that this was a useless initiative. Now, how the hell can a scientist like him not check that experts in the feild of HCI,Vision Science, Optometry, Cognitive Psychology, Psychophysics must have all looked into the matter before it was implemented in developed countries. And this man was our leading forensic Dr before he became an MP. So please its not just Baichoo who is.....ehhh .....its many others who like to tell us they have big brains.
Not too sure I agree with your comment about Satish Boolell: I think the hesitation of the Government with this issue has annoyed everybody. Here's what in the hansard.
Baichoo messed up in explaining the rationale of the change and made an even bigger mess in not organising how it should be done, this I agree, I did mention this....I mean it annoyed all of us, it still does because we are still not sure where to go get this done!
Whilst the Dr gives us a long list of how confused aother people are in other developed ountries he misses the point of seeing how bad our number plates are - visibility is bad at night - bad contrast compared to the new one.
BTW, its very easy to get ergomist and and HCI experts to make the right recomendations, simple thing that Baichoo doesnt know about.
Wonder why we have strict standards in aviation! Its tried and tested!
There are all kinds of cameras too. Standards vary even in aviation.
Forgot to add - number plates expenses should have been deducted from road taxes!In other words, free of charge.
Standards vary in aviation - by how much? oK...so in one standard they must be using opaque windscreens , in others transparents ones? Is this what you are saying?
BYW, check how small and dirty the destinations plates of our buses are(especially the ones on rural lines) compared to the huge ones they have in London and the new ones of CNT and RT! By using those huge ones they make sure they are taking the lowest common demominator into consideration - most people don't have the slightest idea about the defects in visions people may have and how difficult it is for them to cope with life where visuals are only for the 20/20 average man/woman.
Precisely. I never fly a plane whose windscreens are not opaque enough. Otherwise, odds of surviving are not as low as they should.
Plane crash record vary across airlines. Check the post entitled "The Perils of Mitigated Speech".
Agree. LCD would make life easier for many.
Dont mention LCD's like that, keep it indirect, someone might see this and ask us to have LCD number plates on our vehicles!That would be expensive!
I read Dr Boolell's question and remarks and found him to be vague really - he says people don't know what the rationales are for the current standards in the UK and doesn't even provide a specific reference to this claim -
He says 'A competition was held in the UK to find out why, because
even there, they do not know why these colours. Somebody with a sense of humour said that it
is to help the Police to identify the front of a car from the back'
He should have had a look here at this link
http://www.regtransfers.co.uk/main/car_numberplates_regulations.asp
He could have asked them to provide the number plate for free instead!
Plates are not identical in countries which have cameras help foster the proper behaviour behind the wheels.
It's the job of the government to come up with good policies that are implementable within a reasonable time frame.
This looks like another bogus decision by A.B. after the fire extinguisher issue, the parking tickets issue and more recently the silly justification for the increase in bus fares.
Oh, the visibility factor is a major part of any specification - different plates specifications can be used for different cameras, what I would intend to as, if I could ask a question in parliament, would be to request the authorities to provide the most optimun plate design for it to been seen by the naked eye in all conditions. Whilst cameras differ from country to country the human eye is the same - in a hit and run scenario for example at night it is important for the plate to be visible.One current ones are not that good.
I still cannot undertand how and why A.B is allocated responsibilities he cannot shoulder.
Agree. Good enough design is key.
Btw, when I wrote about LCD I was referring to least common denominator mentioned by one of the Mr. Ymous here. At the same time note that many buses in North America have a big LCD (liquid crystal display) showing route number.

"...instead of roundabouts."
Ahem, traffic lights are actually being phased out gradually, and the even the land of traffic lights (USA) is phasing in more and more roundabouts: free flowing traffic, better fuel economy, landscaping opportunities, etc...
Ah, sorry, these advantages only come if there is proper planning and stringent design / execution process, which are clearly absent from Dodoland these days: drive through the new roundabout at Réduit and you'll get what I mean (my advice: remain below 40km/h if you don't want to miss your target).
@ SJ:
What about the LCD's of the Singaporean (ayo! pa baté!) buses and MRT's... And from feedback from my emigrated larmé-sek, it seems all developped countries have the same level of care for all travellers: large, bright diplays and often in more than one language for transmitting the information.
I can provide you will other liknks which say the total opposite of what you said regarding roundabouts being betetr than traffic lights - both of them have theoor own benefits and limits depedning on monay other factors - its an 'open system' thing!!
In fact in Mauriitus these rounabouts dont seems to work well

Samem mo content ar ha blog-la: am very eager to learn about them: avoyé papa / mama!
"both of them have theoor own benefits and limits depedning on monay other factors"
In any case, the scales are tipping in favour of roundabouts just because they favour a slowing down instead of an abrupt, sometimes arbitrary due to timers, halt. Which implies starting back from first gear, and therefore an overall increase in fuel consumption. And of course, less electrically powered road furniture is required: roundabouts keep working even under low visibility and in power outages... In the Mauritian context, the unpunished encroachments on road reserves, absence of pre-construction simulation of traffic models and the fact that most roads are already operating near to or above capacity flow cause roundabouts like those of Terre Rouge, Baie du Tombeau and many others to become a place of "veiy séké" before one can merge into the roundabout flow... From what can be seen at Camp Chapelon / Pailles, where even the high-speed slalomers become suddenly tame, I believe that if drivers perceived the constant gaze of the camera of some enforcement agency along dangerous roads, traffic lights and roundabouts, "bébétt" behaviour would be radically curbed. But this, our dear Minister does not feel it to be important, but prefers waiting for multi-casualty accidents to have happened before issuing some strange new regulations (heavy trucks restricted from using some parts of the roads at some specific periods of week-days, retro-reflective number plates, speedometers on motorcycles when most don't even have rear-view mirrors and/or turn signals...). And that earned him a GOSK. Wow.
He is VPM, hoW do you likE thaT noW?
@ Anonymous of August 6, 2011 10:07 PM:
Very much, thank you.
Instead of previous doubts, we're now sure to be blessed with abusive bus fares, a higher number of pseudo-taxis, 'more' safety by ineffective enforcement of existing rules, 'better' buses, more of everything that keeps increasing roadkill and road rage...
Save your tears for your own family.

In any case, if they want to show that they really want to serve the peoples' interest, they could start by paying attention to these studies: this one for Raschid and the others for Anil.
See, the experts that lideurr-maximo despises so much have long experience in analysing data, dealing with authorities, evaluating socio-legal implications and all other interactions that are implied in implementing a planned sequence of execution of suggested action. All thought-out and explained in these reports.
What do we need, then, to translate these ideas into action?
A critical level of guts and balls, maybe, apart from the usual 'péna-kass' pretext...
