It’s been a while since we’ve posted an article, but as we’ve crossed the threshold of a new year, it seem only fitting to resume with this article of old Year’s Unresolutions.
The new year is usually a time for moving forward and learning from past mistakes, having tied up the past behind you. However, in Barbados, from year to year, we seem to move on to new problems without resolving the ones from the previous year, and the year before that.
What ever happened to Reynzill Scantlebury, who claims he woke up in the morgue of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after being declared dead? Has that fiasco been satisfactorily resolved or has it been swept under the proverbial rug?
Whatever happened to the signed petition from Operation Intercession and others to have music banned on PSV’s? This petition was presented to Minister of Youth and Family, Esther Byer Suckoo, possibly the only reason it even achieved press coverage. There has since been no word on this. Furthermore, Minister of Education, Ronald Jones, has since been heard saying that he’s considering banning the school children from PSV’s, hence, choosing an extreme route of his own design, rather than a simple one, devised by the people of Barbados. The proposal to ban music on PSV’s is not a new one, and would benefit all passengers, but year after year, this too has been swept under the rug.
