Sorry Mr. President, I could not hear/watch your New Year’s message

Jan 06, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
To ponder on the subject is just another reflection of what and where our society has turned into through lack of proper administration of the law. Some may question why you even want to listen to the President’s message but while some care less, some people still anticipate that glimmer of hope for our country and people.
We had no choice to be up all through the night but very uncomfortable. We could not hear our own voices in our home and we had to be looking out all the time for security reasons.
Yes, I am talking about the ‘bubble session’ that was allowed to go until 4am New Year’s morning in Calendar Street. Several calls were made to the police at Brickdam Operations, who said they will dispatch patrols. When the patrols came, they allowed the dance to continue, probably after collecting their complimentary drinks.
What is troubling is the fact of how all our holidays, religious or national are hijacked into a mere party, in some cases street parties. Is this the culture we are promoting?
The law enforcement officers have in their full right to maintain peace and calm in a society but they allow these things to fester because somebody knows somebody. It is clear dereliction of duty to have a community under siege by noise of this nature and the police ignoring it. Then again, this is what our Guyana has become.
