Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka joined family and friends in honoring the late Diwan Chand Maharaj at the Davuilevu Crematorium yesterday. Maharaj was widely recognized as the founder of Quality Print PTE Limited, one of Fiji’s largest printing enterprises.
Rabuka reminisced about Maharaj’s life, highlighting his emphasis on love and friendship—core values he instilled in both his family and the wider community. Maharaj’s legacy is marked by his commitment to charity and compassion. In 1999, he co-founded Sun Insurance PTE Limited and played a pivotal role in establishing the Kidney Foundation of Fiji.
Beyond his business accomplishments, Maharaj was an active participant in community development, engaging with various charitable organizations. He has been a member of the Rotary Club since 1990 and previously served as the national president of the Sanatan Dharam Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji.
Prime Minister Rabuka also noted that Maharaj attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, which Rabuka had also attended, reflecting on his significance as a family man, a cherished grandfather, a great-grandfather, and a valued mentor in many lives.
Rabuka concluded his tribute with a heartfelt farewell, saying, “Moce to’a mada Diwan, may your soul rest in peace.”
This tribute not only captures the deep respect and admiration that Diwan Maharaj garnered throughout his life but also highlights the importance of community impact and the legacy of kindness that he leaves behind. His work and spirit continue to inspire, reminding us all of the power of love and friendship in building stronger communities.
