Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The Stabroek News article entitled ‘Stop the suicidal tendencies, Eric Phillips urges PNCR’ did not fully capture the essence of what I said at Winston Murray’s funeral service at St George’s Cathedral a week ago.

Dear Editor, I am utterly shocked by the report in the Stabroek News on December 3, that Evan Persaud, UG lecturer,  admitted to using profanity and sexual innuendo in the classroom, and justified his stance by saying, “This is how people will talk to them out there… this is the nature of this business.”

Dear Editor, In the Nostalgia article ‘Saga of the Bureau of Statistics building’ by Godfrey Chin (Sun Stabroek, December 5) it was stated, “Peter Halder, former Guyana diplomat, my counsel in this matter, adds that ‘major additions were made to the airport terminal at Timehri in 1965 and 1968, which was named Timehri International in May1969.’”

Dear Editor, If the Minister of Health has not yet replied to my question in the letter sent to him by Stabroek News he now has the testimony of  Ms Basmattie Ramsawak and Mr Vijay Singh who have  been public spirited enough to say what they know about the country’s main hospital.

Dear Editor, I applaud Mr Bisram for upholding the values he and his colleagues suffered for during the Burnham era.

Dear Editor, I wish to make one final follow-up point on the MT Lowe issue in response to ‘Further observations on MT Lowe and the demonstrations relating to the Corentyne teachers’ (SN, Dec 4).

Dear Editor, With respect to the letter written by Mr Vishnu Bisram in the SN of December 2, ‘MT Lowe  remembered differently by some,’ I write in support of Mr Bisram’s letter which is the naked truth.

Dear Editor, Recently, Eddi Rodney, elder brother of the famous Walter and Donald Rodney, penned a piece that appeared in the Mirror under the title, ‘The emergence of the meta critique of the PPP.’

Dear Editor, The stranglehold the sugar unions (GAWU and NAACIE) have on GuySuCo is an indication of who is in charge of sugar in Guyana and particularly the Skeldon White-Elephant.

Dear Editor, As we enter the last month of the first semester of the University of Guyana 2010-2011 academic year, there are students who have faithfully attended classes, studied, written and passed class tests and now are worried since their efforts to excel in and secure a loan to cover the cost of tuition fees for their programmes may all be in vain.

Dear Editor, In his letter, ‘The repression of the Critchlow Labour College is a serious cultural assault on the working people of all sectors’ (SN, December 4), inter alia Mr Eusi Kwayana, alludes to a discussion we have been having over the past few months.

Dear Editor, It is with grief I read of the passing of former US Congressman, Stephen Solarz.

Dear Editor, I write in relation to the ongoing issue at my alma mater, Wismar Christianburg Secondary (Multilateral) School where I started my high school education.

Dear Editor, President Jagdeo conferred our highest National Award on President Lula of Brazil on November 25, 2010.

Dear Editor, Yes, there are calls for more radio stations in Guyana, but would people listen?

Dear Editor, Why is it that when there is something somewhere, like Diwali in the USA or some festival somewhere else, Mr Vishnu Bisram will send a letter about it to your newspaper and you will use valuable space for such irrelevant matter?

Dear Editor, It is with grief I read of the passing of former US Congressman, Stephen Solarz.

Dear Editor, In recent days there has been considerable public attention focused on the courageous headmaster, Cleveland Thomas, who has taken a principled stand against the Ministry of Education’s policy of automatic promotion.

Dear Editor, I wish to respond to a letter in SN of November 23 captioned ‘The treatment of the rural constable in the Chateau Margot shooting sends a bad signal to policing groups,’ written by Clement Sarran.
