Un Enseignement de Confucius

Confucius a dit

Qu’il fallait témoigner

Du respect à nos vieux

Et rendre leur vie facile.

 

Aussi, quand j’étais petit,

Je suivais toujours ce précepte

En allant chercher leurs pantoufles

Pour mes parents

Et les déposer près du lit

Où ils dormaient.

Leur épargner

Ces petits soucis quotidiens

C’est leur assurer

Une bonne nuit de sommeil.

An Appeal

Dear Reader

65 years ago Mauritius Times was founded with a resolve to fight for justice and fairness and the advancement of the public good. It has never deviated from this principle no matter how daunting the challenges and how costly the price it has had to pay at different times of our history.

With print journalism struggling to keep afloat due to falling advertising revenues and the wide availability of free sources of information, it is crucially important for the Mauritius Times to survive and prosper. We can only continue doing it with the support of our readers.

The best way you can support our efforts is to take a subscription or by making a recurring donation through a Standing Order to our non-profit Foundation.
Thank you.
