1 | What does Fiji's government want from Fiji Water? | Fiji: Inona no tian'ny fanjakana atao amin'ny Rano FIJI? |
2 | Bloggers and cyber talking heads are speculating whether Fiji's military government sent the local head of Fiji Water back to the United States. | Any Fidji, manotany tena ireo mpitoraka bilaogy sy mpiserasera ny amin'ny antony nandroahana nody any Etazonia an'ilay talen'ny orinasa any an-toerana izay mpanondrana ilay rano malaza FIJI. |
3 | A government spokeswoman confirmed that the water company's head of external affairs, David Roth, left on a plane to Los Angeles Thursday night (Fiji time), but would not elaborate on his departure. | Mpitondra teny iray ao amin'ny governemanta nanamarina fa ny talen'ny fandraharahana amin'ny any ivelany an'ny orinasa, David Roth, no lasa any Los Angeles tamin'ny harivan'ny 18 novambra (ora any Fidji), kanefa tsy nilaza izay antony nandehanany. |
4 | Fiji's military leader, Frank Bainimarama, is in China until next week and the spokeswoman said he will address the situation when he returns. | Ny praiministra any Fidji, Frank Bainimarama, any Chine ary tsy ho tonga raha tsy amin'ny herinandro ambony. Nilaza ity mpitondra teny ity fa hilaza ny heviny ny praiministra rehefa tafaverina. |

6 | | Roa andro talohan'ny nandehanan'i David Roth, ny minisitry ny fiarovana sy ny fifindramonina, Ratu Epeli Ganilau, no nametra-pialana, ary nitaky ny fanazavana amin'ity raharaha David Roth ity. |
7 | | Mandeha be ny resaka any Fidji fa niala i Ratu Ganilau, namana akaiky an'i David Roth sy ny fianakaviany, satria tsy nanaiky nanao sonia ny fandroahana azy ireo. |
8 | Ganilau has told media outlets that he resigned willingly and that differences existed between him and the government regarding David Roth. | Nilaza tamin'ny fampahalalam-baovao i Ratu Ganilau fa niala an-tsitrapo izy ary tsy miombon-kevitra amin'ny fanjakana mikasika ny momba an'i David Roth. |
9 | But he would not elaborate further. | Kanefa tsy nila ankoatra izay izy. |
10 | Fiji Water began bottling in 1996 in the Yaqara Valley in northern Viti Levu, Fiji's largest and most populated island. | Nanomboka natao tao anaty tavoahangy ny rano FIJI tamin'ny taona 1996 tany amin'ny lemak'i Yaqara any avaratr'i Viti Levu, nosy lehibe indrindra sady be mponina indrindra any Fidji. |
11 | One year later, it began exporting the water to the United States. | Herintaona taty aoriana, naondrana tany Etazonia ny rano (marika faharoa be mpividy indrindra any Etazonia aorian'ny Evian). |
12 | Today, the company has a loyal - if not affluent - following and consumers can find Fiji Water in more than 40 countries. | Ankehitriny, efa manana ny mpankafy azy ny FIJI, ary afa-po, satria efa hita any amin'ny firenena 40 hafa koa ity rano ity. |
13 | According to its own numbers, Fiji Water generates roughly 20 percent of Fiji's export income and employs 350 people locally. | Araka ny tarehimarika navoakan'ny orinasa, ny rano Fiji dia mampiditra 20% amin'ny vola azo avy amin'ny fanondranana entana any an-toerana ary mampiasa olona 350. |
14 | The Australian newspaper speculates Roth was may have been expelled by Fiji's military government which wants to make the position local or perhaps even attempt to access the aquifer where Fiji Water draws its product. | Gazety aostraliana iray no manombatombana fa angamba noroahan'ny miaramila i David Roth hahafahan'izy ireo mampiditra olona teratany hitondra ny orinasa, na koa angamba handray ny fitantanana ny loharano hampiasain'ny orinasa. |
15 | So far, no proof of Roth's alleged expulsion has surfaced. | Hatreto aloha, mbola tsy fantatra marina ny tena nandroahana an'i David Roth. |
16 | Nor has any news relating to further government action. | Tsy fantatra toy izany koa izay mety hataon'ny fanjakana. |
17 | TheMax, a commenter on the blog Coup 4.5, told everyone to take a deep breath. | TheMax, mpaneho hevitra ao amin'ny bilaogy Coup 4.5, nilaza tamin'ny rehetra ny tsy tokony hikorontanana. |
18 | What's the fuzz all about? | Inona no mampanahy? |
19 | It's not as if Fiji Water was told to shutdown. | Ohatry ny hoe mikatona ireny ery ny famokarana ny rano FIJI. |
20 | The current leadership have its reasons for wanting Mr Roth removed from Fiji. | Manana ny antony ny fanjakana, matoa niala taty Fidji i David Roth. |
21 | It could be a matter of breach of work permit or a serious national security issue. | Mety ho olana eo amin'ny fahazoan-dalana hiasa izany, na koa olana goavana mahakasika ny fiarovam-pirenena. |
22 | We will just have to wait and see when the PM Mr Bainimarama returns from China and clears the air. | Aleo handrasana izay hiverenan'ny mpraiministra avy any Chine hanazava izany rehetra izany. |
23 | Maybe Rt Epeli Ganilau valued his friendship with the Roth's more than doing the right thing as Defence and National Security Minister for this country. | Angamba mety hoe naleon'i Epeli Ganilau nanome lanja kokoa ny maha mpinamana azy amin'ny fianakavian'i Roth noho ny fiarovana ny fireneny. |
24 | Mr Roth is just a worker at Fiji Water, the company owned by American billionaire couple Stewart and Lynda Resnicks. | Mpiasa ihany i David Roth ao amin'ny Rano Fiji, orinasa an'ilay mpanefoefo amerikana Stewart sy Lynda Resnicks. |
25 | So for all of you folks jumping up and down, just relax and do your job. | Noho izany, ho anareo rehetra ireo, milamìna ianareo ary ataovy ny asanareo. |
26 | If Roth was actually deported, writes Alohabula1 in Fiji Board Exiles, then the government may have made a major public relations blunder. | Raha tena noroahina i David Roth, hoy Alohabula1 manoratra ao amin'ny Fiji Board Exiles, dia nanao fahadisoana goavana ny fanjakana manoloana ny lafiny fifandraisana. |
27 | We all know Fiji Water did more for branding Fiji internationally than any product that Fiji has ever exported. | Fantantsika rehetra fa ny Rano FIJI no nahafantarana ny firenentsika maneran-tany raha tsy mbola nisy zavatra hafa naondrana tany ivelany. |
28 | As far as marketing goes that is a Herculean accomplishment. | Eo amin'ny sehatry ny fivarotana, efa fahombiazana goavana izany. |
29 | However it has a flip side which will read internationally as Fiji Water Head has been deported from Fiji for no legitimate reason. | Fa ny lafiny hafa indray : ratsy be ny fahitana fa noroahana ny talen'ny orinasa noho ny antony mbola tsy fantatra mazava. |
30 | This does not conjure up the pretty label images of lovely waterfalls and coconut trees and tropical flowers. It conjures up images of instability, treachery, betrayal, extortion of a legitimate investor. | Tsy hanome endrika tsara ilay sary rian-drano mahafinaritra sy voanio ary voninkazo izany, fa hanome endrika tsy filaminana, fivadihana, ary fangejana ny fananan'ny mpampiasa vola nohajaina fatratra. |
31 | If Fiji does not do something about changing this around quickly several things will happen in rapid fire. | Raha tsy manao zavatra hanonerana an'izay haingana i Fidji, dia hisy vokany maromaro izany ato anatin'ny fotoana fohy. |
32 | 1. Who will ever buy Fiji water again if it is illegally taken away from the investor? | 1. Iza intsony no hividy ny Rano Fiji raha nahodina tsy ara-dalàna ny volan'ny mpampiasa vola? |
33 | 2. What has been previously stated by other poster is it will scare off every investor for the next 20 years. | 2. Araka ny hevitry ny mpaneho hevitra dia hampandositra ny mpampiasa vola mandritra ny 20 taona ho avy izany. |
34 | 3. What is the image the world will have of Fiji. | 3. Inona no endrika ho hitan'izao tontolo izao amin'i Fidji? |
35 | 4. Fiji water has done enough PR and community services in Fiji to at least come off favorably in the international view and this is their reward? | 4. Ny Rano Fiji no nanao zavatra lehibe teo amin'ny lafiny fifandraisantsika sy ny asa teo amin'ny fiaraha-monina nahafahantsika nanana endrika tsara teo imason'izao tontolo izao dia izao ve no fisaorana azy? |
36 | 5. Doesn't the Fiji govt make tax money from Fiji water, this does not seem like a good time to cut their own income? | 5. Maka hetra amin'ny rano Fiji ny fanjakana, tsy fotoana tokony hijereny ve izao fa hihena izany vola miditra aminy izany? |
37 | More than two years ago Fiji's government tried to bring about a 20 cent per litre tax on Fiji Water, but the motion was defeated in cabinet after a lengthy fight. | Roa taona izay, nanandrana nampiakatra ny hetra tokony haloan'ny rano Fiji hatramin'ny 20 centimes isaky ny tavoahangy ny fanjakana, kanefa tsy nekena indray izany taorian'ny ady mangotraka. |
38 | Rumors then persisted the water bottler threatened to cease production if the government went ahead with the tax. | Tamin'izany fotoana izany, nolazaina fa raha teren'ny fanjakana handoa izany vola izany ny orinasa dia hajanona ny famokarana. |
39 | Mera Fiji Mahan, commenting in the Fiji Democracy Now Blog says the foreign company should be providing more to the country. | Mera Fiji Mahan, maneho hevitra ao amin'ny Fiji Democracy Now Blog fa tokony hanome betsaka ho an'ny tany mampiantrano azy ny mpampiasa vola vahiny. |
40 | I would like to remind people of Fiji that [Former government minister] Mr. Mahendra Pal Chaudhary stood firm when he introduced taxation on these bloody Fiji Water. | Tiako ny mampahatsiahy ny olona eto Fidji fa (ilay ministra taloha) Mr. Mahendra Pal Chaudhary no nitana ny heviny nanoloana ny fampiakarana ny hetra tokony haloan'ny rano Fiji. |
41 | What happened to him is history; I do not have to elaborate further. | Hitantsika anefa ny zavatra nahazo azy fa tantara be; tsy holazaiko eto intsony. |
42 | The reach of Fiji Water is very high and people like Ratu Epeli, being too loyal to the country like Mr. M.P Chaudhary, was over powered by traitors. | Lava tànana be ny tompon'andraikitra tao amin'ny Rano Fiji ka ny olona tahaka an'i Ratu Epeli, tsy nivadika tamin'ny fanjakany tahaka an'i M.P Chaudhary, no novonoin'ny mpamadika. |
43 | Fiji Water has to pay appropriate tax and cannot just reap off Fiji's valuable gift (that is clean natural mineral water). | Tokony handoa ny hetra tokony haloany ny Rano Fiji fa tsy finaritra hitsentsitra fotsiny ny fanomezana omen'i Fidji azy (izay tsy inona fa ny rano madio mangarangarana). |
44 | The land owners must wake up and start negotiations with other international companies, form joint venture, and open plant next to Fiji Water. | Tokony hifoha amin'izay ny tompon'ny tany ary hanomboka hanao fifampiraharahana amin'ny orinasa vahiny, ary hamboly eny akaikin'ny orinasa mamokatra ny Rano Fiji. |
45 | An Anonymous commenter on the blog Fiji: The Way it Was, IS and Can Be argued that the company maneuvered itself into a corner. | Mpaneho hevitra iray tsy mitonona anarana ao amin'ny Fiji: The Way it Was, IS and Can Be miombon-kevitra amin'ny hoe ataon'ny orinasa amin'izay tiany hanaovana azy ny fanjakana. |
46 | The truth is, they've run foul of the political maneuvering that won them their treasured ‘tax-free' (or pretty close) status. | Ny marina dia nataony tsara izay hanatanterahany ny politikany tsy hanembatsembanana ny “tsy fandoavana hetra” (na ny mifanakaiky amin'izay). |
47 | They deplete our aquifers, sell themselves as a green company, litter our shores with plastic, buy off govt. officials… and now they find themselves unable to buy the govt. | Trohany ny ranontsika, milaza ho orinasa maintso izy kanefa fenoiny tavoahangy plastika ny tanàna, vidiany ny olom-panjakana… ankehitriny, tsy voavidiny intsony ny fanjakana. |
