I am writing to express my deep concern over the inconvenience many people are facing due to unwarranted destructive protests and frequent, unannounced road blocks within the city of Georgetown. These selfish politicians and their ‘paparazzi’ become active only during elections period and are stirring out the gullible and helpless to champion their nonsensical cause.
Now, yesterday morning I am running late to get to work and to Court, and to my surprise, the road was blocked in the vicinity of State House. And the build-up of traffic was enormous. Why is it that in this day and age we cannot get it right? Why is it that the ordinary man has to be a part of the fight between the divides?
And to put cream on the cake, the police and traffic departments are not informing the people… the people are clueless as to how to traverse the roadways. On Monday it was the Arthur Chung Conference Centre area; Tuesday morning it was the vicinity of the Ministry of the Presidency, and now it’s State House – what’s next?
My suggestion is that the relevant authorities produce timely press releases and have text message blasts, or something, informing people of the various road blocks, so that we will not be caught up in this unpleasant situation again.
Yours truly,
DSM
