string of assaults on
Asian students last week
has created unrest in
Auckland. The city, which was
once regarded as peaceful, is losing
its reputation with rising fear and
aggrieve among international
students.Six Asian students were
victims of three different attacks
in two days in broad daylight. The
police have ruled out the racial
angle and have regarded such
attacks as a crimes of commodity.
In the wake of these brutal
attacks, New Zealand Chinese
Students Association organised a
forum on Friday, April 1, bringing
together Members of Parliament,
the police, investigating officers
and more than 200 students and
student representatives from
different institutions.
The objective of the forum was
to discuss the recent attacks on
Asian students and look out for
suggestions and advice from a
diverse range of people present
at the forum. The conference
aimed to provide an update on the
progress of the investigation, the
speakers views on the issue and
give tips to the students on how
for
the
safety
of the public in
the city.
One of the speakers
as well as a member
of
the
audience
pointed if there was
a
deeper
reason
behind the crimes
than just materialistic
opportunity. Labour MP stated
that the offenders themselves
are the victims of life and bad
parenting. These children grow
up witnessing domestic violence
and live in an environment that
mistreats them. Poverty and lack
of education also result in kids
taking such actions to accomplish
their desires.
Concluding
the
forum,
investigating officer Inspector
Whittaker advised the audience
not to flash or keep expensive
goods such as mobile phones,
laptops, and jewellery exposed
in cars and while walking on the
road. He also advised them to
avoid deserted routes after dusk
and keep their mates informed of
their whereabouts.

product approved for use
The
application
was
comprehensive, innovative and
considered. The Director of Mental
Health and the acting Director
of Public Health recommended
its approval.
Although
it
has
been
suggested that the information
requirements for applications are
too stringent, an aspect I expect
the current guidelines review
will look into, the application I
received today suggests that they
are not an impediment to robust,
clinician-led, assessment-based
approaches, Mr Dunne said.
The application is the third
to have been received for

with one application subsequently
withdrawn and the other two
approved. Information on the
application process can be found

The meeting covered the
potential of radiation technology
in boosting medical capabilities in
Fiji, specifically the diagnosis and
treatment of cancers.
They also discussed the use of
nuclear technology in improving
the treatment of food products
prior to export from Fiji.
The peaceful applications of
nuclear technology in medicine
and in agriculture are well
advanced in the industrialised
nations and have benefits that can
also apply in a country like Fiji,
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum also made
proposals to Mr Acuna for Fiji to
serve as a regional hub for nuclear

said, pertains

nearly 40 years
from
the
late
1970s through the
end of 2015. It allows a
never-before-seen view of the
offshore world, providing a dayto-day, decade-by-decade look at
how dark money flows through the
global financial system, breeding
crime and stripping national
treasuries of tax revenues.
ICIJs analysis of the leaked
records revealed information
on more than 214,000 offshore
companies connected to people
in more than 200 countries and
territories. The top leaders under
the scanner include Russian
President Vladimir Putin and
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif among others.
The data includes e-mails,
financial spreadsheets, passports
and corporate records revealing
the secret owners of bank
accounts and companies in 21
offshore jurisdictions including
Nevada, Hong Kong and the
British Virgin Islands. ICIJs
data and research unit indexed,
organised and analysed the 2.6
terabytes of data that make up
the leak, using collaborative
platforms to communicate and
share documents with journalists
working in 25 languages in nearly
80 countries. All this was kept
under wraps for about eight
months since the investigation
started. The documents show how
Mossack Fonseca helped clients
launder money, dodge sanctions
and evade tax. The Panama
company has, however, denied
any wrongdoing. It says it has
operated beyond reproach for 40
years and has never been charged
criminally. Gerard Ryle, director
of the ICIJ, said the documents
covered the day-to-day business
at Mossack Fonseca over the past
40 years. I think the leak will
prove to be probably the biggest
blow the offshore world has ever
taken because of the extent of the
documents, he said.

others are maintaining that
they had worked within the

AAP spokesperson Raghav

ollywood
actress
Priyanka
Chopra has found a common
string between Quantico and the
upcoming film The Jungle Bookdanger.
Priyanka, who is currently shooting
for the international film Baywatch, has
brought life to the soft and hypnotic voice
of the python Kaa in the Hindi version of
Disneys The Jungle Book.
The Bajirao Mastani actress took to
Twitter, where she shared a video of herself
talking about Jon Favreau directorial that is
releasing in India on April 15.
Hi, I am Priyanka Chopra. In Disneys
The Jungle Book danger lurks around in
every corner... When your back is against
the wall, who could you trust? You can find
out, when the movie hits theatres April 15.
But first heres a special look... Priyanka
said in the video.
The actress also stressed on an uncanny
resemblance between the American TV
show Quantico, in which she plays an FBI
agent, with the film, which is an adaptation
of Rudyard Kiplings timeless classic.
Whats common between Quantico and
The Jungle Book? Danger lurks in every
corner, she captioned the video.

Subordinates/co-workers would be
very helpful this week. You are likely
to plan a short trip with family. Dont
forget to use your energy to help
someone in distress to benefit both.
When preparing to travel with a family
be humble and patient. Investing
internationally means you have to
follow their laws on real estate.
Forcing opinion on others is not likely
to go to your way.

AR: I, along with a few other talented KiwiIndian artists, have been instrumental in
introducing Indian music in Music in the
Park held in New Zealand every year. For
the first time in the 20-year history of the
event, Indian music was promoted when
our band performed at this esteemed
festival in 2011, which was a huge success.
I also had an opportunity to perform
with the popular Kiwi choir group Next
Offrampa fusion, which went on to be
another great success.
I believe that singing is my return gift to
God for giving me this talent. Music for me
is joy, fun, happiness, my way of praying. In
short, music is my life.
