Frank DeAbreu disagrees with Hydar Ally
Dear Editor,
I read in your Saturday, May 28 an article in Kaieteur News “Guyana is a much better place after a checkered past”.
I am of the opinion that this learned gentleman is saying Guyana is a better place since Independence Day, May 26, 1966. I am not a match academically for this gentleman, but I have been living in Guyana 60 years of my life. I could remember what Georgetown, Guyana use to be before Independence.
Georgetown was the Garden City short only of Adam and Eve. The outskirts of Georgetown full of rule of law and decency, pride and honesty were the order of those days. Mr. Editor, I have been to 32 countries in the world, and I am confident that Georgetown in terms of appearance, the way we use the road, the way we address our elders, the police and even the behaviour of teachers are worst. I agree that our Independence Day struggle started since 1949 when a young dentist was practicing the wrong ideology in the eyes of the power that existed at the time. When Independence did come, other persons got the praises, but since then, Georgetown and its environment are worse off than May 26h, 1966. Mr. Ally, the Bible says “man shall not live on bread alone, but by thy sweat of thy brow”, it’s better to be beautiful with moral values and decency than having wealth and don’t have morals.
Regards,
Frank DeAbreu
