Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Extensive works at a substantial cost for the reinforcement of security at the Suddie Police Station lock-ups were completed by a private contractor several months ago, but yet for all of that, they are still to be put into use.

Dear Editor, I write to lobby for the fast-tracking of the implementation of the Low Carbon Development Strategy.

Dear Editor, Recently published discussions in the press (eg, SN, May 24) regarding the perceived lack of professional etiquette towards a senior female public officer, namely Ms Karen Livan, Commissioner, Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, advert to more than just unbecoming display of management ethics – one which should not be emulated by any other manager or supervisor, and certainly which should not be allowed to be repeated by the initiator in question.

Dear Editor, With reference to the just concluded GTT Male Softball Finals between defending champions Wolf Warriors and Regal XI which I attended on May 12 and which was played under the auspices of the Guyana Softball League, I would like to highlight a few occurrences which bring every aspect of play in cricket into disrepute.

Dear Editor, Sugar cane is one of the most important crops in Guyana; it contributes nearly 20% to GDP and hence is very important to the Guyanese economy.

Dear Editor, There can be no perfection in human behavioural patterns in the home, school, church or workplace because of the machinations of the mind.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter (‘What are the rules for proceeding on the amber light?’)

Dear Editor, I agree with the general thrust of Mr Charles Sohan’s letter (‘Indian-Guyanese were always keen on education but many lacked the economic capacity to send their children for secondary education,’ Stabroek News, May 29).

Dear Editor, Nay, the dust should not settle on the nation’s tribute to Philip Moore, citizen, humanist and artist, notwithstanding his interment at Auchlyne.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to your editorial ‘Caribbean airlines unsettled?’

Dear Editor, Corporal punishment has been with society ever since man began to walk this Earth, and in  Guyana it goes back to the earliest days of formal education, where it was, for the most part, acceptable in the homes as well as in the schools.

Dear Editor, On May 26, 2012, Guyana acknowledged 46 years of independence.

Dear Editor, In the Stabroek News editorial of May 28 you highlighted the destruction of the riverain communities‘ livelihood by the passage of shipping too close to the banks of the rivers, as well as the death of persons in the Berbice River probably caused by shipping.

Dear Editor, On more than one occasion it has been drawn to my attention that letters have been written to the Guyana Times in particular commenting on controversial topics and signed by one ‘Raymond Trotz.‘

Dear Editor, I was about to write a letter on a totally different subject matter when a letter penned by Lurlene Nestor in the Stabroek News of May 28 caught my eye (‘We should do research on teen violence’).

Dear Editor, I went to the Sonu Nigam live stage show at the National Stadium, Providence, and while the show was an enjoyable and entertaining one, with Sonu singing for three hours non-stop, Guyanese Indians see Sonu Nigam as a reincarnation of the late Indian playback singer, Padma Shri Mohammed Rafi, so we Guyanese were expecting him to sing the old (golden) hits made popular by Rafi.

Dear Editor, As dancehall music continues to strive for international recognition among the mainstream genres, it apparently remains blemished by crime, homophobia, and violence.

Dear Editor, Undoubtedly most nations are proud to celebrate their independence at the appropriate time.

Dear Editor, I refer to your article ‘Ramkarran calls for decriminalizing of same sex lifestyles‘ (May 28).

Dear Editor, Those of us who have been following developments in Burma cannot but breathe a sigh of relief now that the military junta has freed Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest and granted permission for her to travel out of the country after over two decades in confinement.
