Has the pleasure of meeting Rama and family when they immigrated to NZ and found him to be such focussed, motivated person to make life a success in NZ. This he certainly did with his family. May he rest in peace.

Our heartfelt condolences to his wife and family. He was indeed a pioneer in championing ethnic issues. A mighty Totara has fallen from an ethnic community perspective.
