MY MAURITIAN DREAM
A new year begins. 2011 will surely bring fresh hopes in the heart of the population. And many challenges as well. Challenges to the Government, to the Opposition and to all Mauritians in general.
I remember a few months back, more precisely on the 18th of November 2010, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Hon. Pravind Jugnauth, while delivering his budget speech, made reference to “THE MAURITIAN DREAM”. Immediately I started thinking about derogation from the famous “AMERICAN DREAM”. The dream of a prosperous future where each and every citizen would have the opportunity to achieve personal success irrespective of race, colour, religion or social background, but to be determined rather on hard work, commitment and dedication.
