Inspired by the similarities of vastness in forest resources and the promotion of sustainable forestry practices, Malaysia’s largest multifaceted company Wee Boon Ping Group of Companies has indicated its willing to partner with Guyana. 

 

Starting off as a logging company in 1976, Wee Boon Ping Group of Companies has since diversified operations into reforestation as part of efforts to promote sustainable management of forestry practices bioscience, property development and construction among other ventures.


The group owns 109,000 hectares (269,230 acres) of virgin forest land, approximately two times the size of Singapore and, one of the largest rubber plantations in the world. To date four million rubber trees have been planted on 11,000 hectares with a target of 12 million trees on 35,000 hectares.

 


President Donald Ramotar speaking with officials of the Wee Boon Ping Group of Companies in Malaysia in the company of Minister of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy and Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud

 

Chairman of the Company Sir Datuk Wee Kok Tiong, the third generation successor to the family owned business, led a team to the Office of the President for a courtesy visit to President Ramotar in the presence of Minister of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy and Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud.


He told the Government Information Agency (GINA) that an operation like his in a country as resourceful as Guyana can yield benefits for the economy, especially in the area of job opportunities.


He however, regarded it as a long - term investment that will require the partnership of the Government and people of Guyana.


The scale of his operations in Malaysia has created employment for over 2000 and, according to Sir Tiong, the size is likely to increase enormously with his plans for expansion.

Everything positive that Guyana embraces is a problem for the AFC and their supporters. Can you imagine AFC as the ruling party in Guyana? No, I can't imagine that! Guyanese will see its worst days in history under the AFC leadership. We must do everything in our power to prevent neemakarams to run our beloved country.

Berbicians can expect broken rice and dry coconut with trench water and no electricity under the AFC.


Ramjattan defended the billions of dollars of electricity subsidy for Linden while Berbicians are paying the market rate for electricity.

 

Run the AFC snake oil salesmen out of Berbice.

 Ignorant asses like you could allay that ignorance simply by finding out out who this company but you do not. Instead you decide to broadcast that willful ignorance with stupid slogans than makes sense only to your kind of ass.

Keep spewing snake oil.


Next month you will have to hand over the snake oil salesman of the month award to one of your AFC buddies.

 

What is bad for Guyana is good for the AFC. The AFC does not support job creation for working class Guyanese.


They full their pockets with their poverty ridden clients money and then pretend to be a saviour of the working class.


Let us now talk about honesty and integrity.


Please do not get me going on this matter.


Boy, did the civil servants teach your beloved AFC a good lesson.

Why don't you find the text where there was a need to defend the subsidy. It was a consequence of the traditional conception that the engineers and support staff were important to the bauxite company so in their accounting the company allocated that benefit to their workers.

 

Having a ruined industry, the only one that supported the town meant it became a "subsidy". You dunces apparently are too lazy to get your history right and not frame it in terms of the propagandists in the PPP. Lindeners were bushwhacked with mismanagement of their industry by past and present Administration. Note Bauxite in Suriname is a prosperous industry!  The difference here is that what is now framed as a subsidy was an incentive for workers of at the bauxite plan.

 

Note that same option was supposed to be a benefit that came with the Skeldon Sugar plant. It was supposed to provide cheap electricity to nearby communities. But that was can never get off the ground due to incompetence and mismanagement.

 

Blaming ramjattan for asking what the hell they intend with the money is  an avoidance to take some measure of responsibility to be mindful of their charge.  The People already lost benefit with this failed plant, the  failed industry and all as a consequence of the PPP mismanagement.

Don't read too much into it as I was merely asking what are they going to produce.

The same that the furniture company produce and all monies accrued will end up in Brassington black hole. These fools are quick with the labeling and the blame placing for interrogating the PPP but where is their back bone to ask about what happened to all of the money from the sale of our assets?

 

Where for example is the 25 million from the sale of the telecommunications share accounted for in the budget or does the PPP have special subsidy accounts for kith and kin?
