Police allege that Ramsubhag had a reading of 101 microgrammes. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes." What do they mean by "prescribed limit"? What does that have to do with anything if the legal limit is 35 microgrammes? PC Sookhai - thank you for maintaining your integrity and holding this fool to account for his dotishness. Your actions have shown that T&T has good police officers who follow protocol. Job well done sir!

I do not agree with all the UNC policies and stance, and I do not agree with all the PNM policies and stance. Nothing wrong with being on the fence. Why do we have to choose one side or the other? TT Political Culture has been a breeding ground of sycophants. Keep the uneducated in the dark and feed them rum & roti, give them a t-shirt, pave in front their house, feed them the nastiest of picong one could muster against their opponents, insinuate that we should hate them and they can never do anything good for the country, get the best foreign singers at the final rally, etc. etc. etc. PNM feels that T&T is theirs alone and nobody dare vote or speak out against them or their GOD, Dr. Eric Williams. A couple token members and they are "a party of unity". PP's ethnic makeup is much better, but they behave like crab in a barrel and blatantly lie and take Trinbagonians for fools. Corruption is horrendous on both sides. Race is the issue - we never voted on the grounds of what is best for T&T. This "dem vs we" mentality is a cancer and needs to be eradicated. I think its best to stay on the fence and call it as you see it. I do not promise nobody my vote. I take my time in the voting booth and I place my X beside who I feel who will best guide the country into the next 5 years. I encourage others to do the same...

What needs to happen in hotspots is proper community centres run by social workers, counsellors, and professionals to educate people. Put competent Police who are sensitive to the needs and frustrations of the community. Put competent people in Customs to check every container and sieze any that may contain contraband. Hold big fish and expose them. Thugs in d ghetto are fed by the big fish. Crime will only decrease once the drug situation is brought under control and everyone involved are made to answer. Once drugs are out of the picture, T&T would get back nice...

The British even abandoned this style of education. How come Canadian & American style school systems are able to produce such a great number of the worlds best intellectuals? It has never failed them. When are we going to shake off the shackles of Colonialism? Wait for more children to be stigmatized, marginalized and railroaded at a young age into menial jobs before they have time to blossom intellectually? The pressure is too great for families. I seriously do not see any difference between SEA and Common Entrance - same pressure, different format.

He has the no-nonsense, serious attitude needed for eradicating crime. His track record has been excellent and he is easily accessible. He doesn't hide behind his desk. He have Central in order...just imagine what he can do with d rest of d country.

Steups. Chile posin on FB, Mammy totots falling out she shirt, beating chile like ah slave and cussin BREEZE and then posting it on FB for all to see how bad d mother is. I think lessons of modesty and self discipline are needed all around. You notice that most people who reach d top of d ladder never get disciplined in this manner and those at d bottom get licks like this. Licks are effective once it is not over done. You can't discipline a child without having self discipline and self control first. Know when to stop. This mother's actions are just as disgusting as her daughter's.

She has asked to see reports of the incident which were submitted and she looked over, proceeded to meet with her colleagues and took a decision. For JAW to make a statement about taking too long shows his disregard for due process. Mrs PM should start digging, exposing and firing some more of the advantageous members of her Cabinet before they cause her government and the nation any further embarrassment. If she does that, she could regain some credibility for her government.

We should all be careful not to jump to conclusions and worship something that has not been properly investigated. I believe that Trinidad & Tobago has been blessed by God in a very, very special way. The Shiv Lingam in Patiram Tr. Penal has been (for lack of a better term) "certified" and widely accepted as a TRUE manifestation of a Shiv Lingam. Time will tell whether or not this manifestation of Shri Ganesh is real. I certainly hope it is. A lot of these comments here are mocking and making fun something that has not been proven one way or the other. I ask that you please refrain out of respect for your Hindu brothers and sisters. If we can keep a level of respect for one another, we would not face a lot of the problems that are plaguing our country at this time. God Bless.
