Dear Editor,
You reported that the Chinese transnational logger Bai Shan Lin is being allowed to continue its rapacious unsustainable logging of furniture and flooring timbers for export as unprocessed logs to the company’s factories in China (‘Baishanlin will be allowed to continue exporting logs amid revamping – Trotman’, SN, November 12).
Dear Editor,
The November 6, issue of the Stabroek News carried a letter by Mr Anthony Vieira, which was critical of what I said about the sugar industry in an earlier interview with the same paper (‘Ramotar’s comments in SN’s interview were misleading’).
Dear Editor,

In a letter published in our edition of Wednesday, November 11 captioned ‘The Hindu College was preceded by the East Coast High School’ by Mr Nowrang Persaud, a name was incorrectly rendered.
Dear Editor,
I refer to your Sunday editorial of November 8 titled, ‘Anti-democratic defence’ in the fifth paragraph, second sentence, “According to the PPP, Attorney General Basil Williams asked to meet the management committee of Red House on the matter, but apparently did not send anything in writing first from AG’s Chambers, which is surely not acceptable.”
Dear Editor,
As counsel for Aeshwar Deonarine, Deputy Chief Executive Officer GPL, I shall be grateful if you can publish the following which is in connection with the article in your last Sunday Stabroek at page 10 under the caption ‘Deputy GPL CEO should face charge over $27.8M transfer, Ramjattan says.’
Dear Editor,
