Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, As the President and most of the senior ministers of the government frolicked at taxpayers‘ expense in New York City, the Police Force has hit a critical low in its 172-year history.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Police Association has duly noted the flash gun that has momentarily illuminated, albeit in the media, perceptions and assumptions in a cynical exercise to haemorrhage public confidence in the Force by the supposed animated and reckless ramblings and orations allegedly by a senior functionary of the Guyana Police Force.

Dear Editor, A famous American once said that our greatest responsibility is to be good to our ancestors.  

Dear Editor, I write to in relation to Frederick Kissoon’s missive that ‘SN should make a decision on Bisram’ (SN, August 18) and advocate that you publish the man’s polls as regular news items in the same way you published the polls of Dick Morris and Peter Wickham (Cadres). 

Dear Editor, It is not enough for Stabroek News to accept a letter from Mr Bisram that he formed a sample of 780 persons of which he created various percentages of Indians, Africans, Amerindians and Mixed Races, attributed a sampling error and did a poll.

Dear Editor, We all agree that the economic crisis has affected nearly every country in the world and has had a negative impact on the well-being of youths, but like many Guyanese I have doubts that the world economic crisis is the reason for the state of youths in Guyana.

Dear Editor, As I read Vishnu Bisram’s third lengthy letter, ‘Mehta’s letter was neither biased nor arrogant,’ (SN, August 15), denying my assertion that a member of President Jagdeo’s staff sought an invitation from the Federation of Indian Americans (FIA) for the president to attend the FIA activities, I was reminded of the quote from Sheakespeare’s Hamlet, “The lady doth protest too much.”

Dear Editor,   President Bharrat Jagdeo on August 11, 2011 at the Convention Centre said that young people needed to look back at the country’s history in order to defend its current progress. 

Dear Editor, Stabroek News of Tuesday 16 (p2) reports the Crime Chief as stating “We can’t charge without evidence.”

Dear Editor, It is extremely annoying and painful for whole areas to be without a telephone service. 

Dear Editor, I have been working at Toolsie Persaud for the past 33 years.

Dear Editor, I write in relation to correspondence by M Maxwell (KN,  August 15 and SN, August 16) with very similar titles requesting both papers to desist from publishing polls claimed to have been done by Mr Vishnu Bisram.

Dear Editor, Please permit me to comment on one aspect of a letter titled ‘Most Guyanese will welcome the observer missions’ which was published in the Guyana Chronicle of August 13 under the name “T.

Dear Editor, While it is obvious that many clubs in Guyana have produced outstanding cricketers, such as Albion in Berbice and the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) in Demerara, I must recognize the little village of Reliance on the Essequibo Coast that perhaps has created history in producing the most national cricketers in a single village at various levels.
