What about Mauritians?

In an interview in Le Mauricien, Gaëtan Siew, Chairperson of the Construction Industry Developement Board (CIDB) and of the State Land Development Company (SLDC), is asked a question on the Omnicane et Cap Tamarin projects which were initiated a few years ago. He replies:

Ce sont des projets qui ont été adaptés aux critères dont je vous parlais. Quand le cadre pour les smarts cities a été fait, on a tout de suite dit que c’était de l’IRS amélioré ou déguisé. Mais l’IRS était conçu autour du résidentiel destiné à être vendu à des étrangers fortunés. En termes de business, on ne créait que quelques postes de jardiniers, de bonnes et de gardiens. Dans les smart cities, nous avons introduit un concept qui est très important : le work, live and play. Il ne s’agit pas de villas d’habitation, mais de business qui serait installé dans les smarts cities où les expatriés qui vont y travailler vont habiter avec toutes les aménités nécessaires.

    I think he used the word because of the context. He was comparing the said projects with IRS. Since IRS is targeted at expatriates, he used the term expatriate again. I don’t think that he wasn’t singling out anybody but I agree that he didn’t make it clear.
