Freddie Kissoon’s ‘Here is a piece of Guyana for you’
Dear Editor,
Freddie, as much as it is almost certain that my comments will not get inked, I will still foolhardily press on! (I still think this inviting comment is not genuine as hardly any comments find ink!)
Well at the last moment I decided to switch to a letter!
Health treatment in emergency situations. I have had three emergency situations in my years in GT, the first as a 10-year-old kid with a broken arm. I was admitted without treatment! and after two days of bearing the pain, I walked out of the hospital only to be taken back by my Mom who created a scene that resulted in prompt treatment! but as an outpatient for I was not readmitted.
Over the long, long years, emergency treatment is simply not that, and now that name should be removed from all hospitals in Guyana. Maybe WALK IN HELP might be suitable
Requests for outside bank verification. The usual myopic policies of the banks in Guyana and probably because it is a ‘cash society’ coupled with the basic dishonest and distrustful nature of Guyanese as a whole.
Oops! that is a dirty paintbrush but the fact is that banks in Guyana only want people’s money and therefore place all and sundry difficulties and incongruent requests before they would hand over any money. They hide all the time under the money laundering rules embellished by their one myopic thinking.
“I will from time to time publish these things once I verify the sender is a real person”. I disagree with you Freddie. A waste of your time and resources. If you want to include such stuff in your writings go ahead but include the exculpatory words “from an unknown reader submission whose identity has not been verified”.
It is rumoured that a political party has professional writers whose sole purpose is to be false news propagandists, so just simply use my suggestion.
Finally include some of those in which praises and laurels were expressed, so as to have a balance. Agreed? Yea man!
