While PNC Nigel Hughes vehemently condemns the vulgarity of his fellow PNC supporters, his fellow PNC man Dirty Moses has zipped his lips.
“Tonight we condemn all acts of indecency and disrespect. Whether it’s urinating on someone’s flag, burning someone’s flag or any other similar act,” Hughes told the large crowd. “We must hold ourselves to higher standards than we expect of others. We are better than that.” Hughes added

Plastic City residents cry out for housing relief
By Gaulbert Sutherland
Barefoot, four-year-old Sara and her sister, Varshanie, three, stare forlornly at their water-logged, garbage-strewn surroundings on the Best Village foreshore.
Above water: The women of the Ramdass family gather together on Sunday at Radica’s home in Plastic City.
“We ain’t got nowhere to go, that’s why we come here,” their mother, Amanda Gouveia says. She knows that the perennially flooded, insect-infested flats amidst mangroves is no place to bring up her five children but reiterates that they have no place to relocate to. Other residents of Plastic City, a squatter settlement on the West Demerara with no electricity or potable water or any other service, say too that they cannot afford any place else. According to reports, Plastic City was so named because plastic was the main building material used in the original ‘houses’ there.
Susan Ramdass, 23, grew up in Plastic City and continues to live there with her husband and four children. She recalls that some time back Ministry of Housing officials visited, numbered each home and promised assistance with acquiring house lots but since then they have heard nothing. Other residents also recall a visit by Minister of Housing and Water Irfaan Ali but say nothing has happened since. Over a dozen families live in leaking board and zinc shacks on the edges of Plastic City while others live in sturdier houses at the front.
The only dry place in Plastic City for the Ramdass children to play is on their tiny deck.
“We grow up small in here and we still living here,” Ramdass says. Like all the residents, the woman says if she is allocated a house lot elsewhere, she is willing to move. Plastic City, which floods during the high tides and never dries during the rainy season, is not healthy for children, she says. She points out that when the water rises, it floods the latrines. Her home is built with pieces of “crab bush wood”, wattles and covered with zinc. “None new brand material ain’t deh on,” she says.
Ramdass says her husband, Jaiveer Kumar Lall, a labourer, does not earn enough. “Just because people can’t do better mek people live here,” she says.
Some Plastic City residents on a stand they built to ‘hang out’ above the mud and water.
Rampattie Ramassar says the Housing Ministry had promised to assist with house lots. She says they had to fill up forms and send them in but have had no update so far. “I glad to move from here,” she says citing the flooding, mosquitoes and sandflies and the fact that they have to go a long way to fetch water for everyday use. Residents also collect rainwater.
Ramassar lives with her four children. She says she used to rent a house but can no longer afford this. She moved to Plastic City after she purchased a ‘house’ there. Ramassar, a vendor, says if a house lot is identified, she is willing to pay for it in instalments because she cannot afford to pay a lump sum.
Living in Plastic City was never meant to be permanent, she says. “We willing foh move if the people give we house lot cause the place is not nice for children and so.”
“If we coulda afford it, we nah woulda living here,” says Radica Ramdass, who lives with her husband and son in Plastic City. She says if they got a little help, they are willing to move immediately. “We ain’t want to live forever back here.”

Her sister, Samantha is constructing a new home close to Radica’s. The mother of three says she too cannot afford to go anywhere else. Shanta Ramdass echoes a similar story.
Another resident, Roxanne Mayers says they cannot afford the $112,000, they are expected to pay for a house lot. “They only promising us and ain’t doing nothing,” she adds.
Over the years and recently, the authorities have been urging Plastic City residents to move.
No place to play: Sara (right) and Varshanie Chanderpaul (left) stand forlornly on the only piece of dry ground in Plastic City.
In March last year, Ali said that a risk assessment will be done in Plastic City and some persons may have to be relocated.
Meantime, Gouveia is also looking to construct a new home in Plastic City, moving out of the home two houses away where her parents died. As her daughters gaze at the numerous crabs scuttling across the mudflats, she adds that if she gets a house lot, she is ready to move.

Here is a genuine and authentic East Indian, Motilall Jairam, dragging Moses "I am not Indian" Nagamootoo over the coals
On May 11th, Guyana has a simple choice to make. Do you want to get “bun out” by APNU-AFC or do you want peace, progress, and stability for another five years under a good though not perfect Government? The PPP/C and their supporters will not be “bunning out” anyone when the PPP/C wins. They will go back to the hard work of continuing to build Guyana from where the people’s national “bun dem out” party left us in 1992. That is the crucial difference Mr Nagamootoo. One party builds them up. Your party, the PNC, “buns dem out.” Motilal Jairam

DEAR EDITOR, It is quite encouraging to know that many countries around the world that Guyanese long to visit, or even work, are being run by coalition governments. On Sunday, I noticed an advertisement in your newspaper which pointed out some of the thriving countries worldwide that are being governed by political parties that coalesced. I hope that my fellow Guyanese took note that countries such as India, Britain, Germany and the twin island of Trinidad and Tobago are being run by coalition governments. It is my belief that Guyana is getting ready to step into the league of such jurisdictions if citizens can only see the wisdom in electing a government that is so structured that scrutiny will be the name of the game. According to what I have read in the daily newspapers, the Alliance For Change vows to keep A Partnership for National Unity in check, and vice versa. How can we go wrong if we choose the path of a coalition government? It’s all in the hands of Guyana now. Amala Peters
* This is not a day DIRTY INDIANS like Moses Nagamootoo are proud of or will be celebrating.
THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) salutes all Guyanese on the occasion of Arrival Day which is being observed on May 5.
This is indeed a good time to reflect on the long and difficult road we have traversed over the decades and the enormous sacrifices made by our fore-parents to forge a society which today we can all be proud of.

His cut and paste is illustrative of a specific circumstance of injustice. You on the other hand does nothing but spout the same racist crap in deference of those crooks day in day out. That you have the nerve to be considered able to adjudicate intellect here is the big laugh.

Happy arrival day to all Indos.
We must keep our unique identity and culture intact and never let go of ours.
Those like Traitor Moses who have lost their sense of identity and who are willing to send Indos to National Service to be Raped and Douglarized should be ashamed of themselves.
Long live our people, long liver their struggles against a racist PNC, kudos to our forefathers who brought Hinduism and Islam to the Caribbean and which are still adhered to till this day.
May Allah, Jesus and Krsna protect our people.
Shame on those who are attempting to strip us of our unique identity and culture.
Happy Indian Arrival day.

Listen! The Rev will never demean himself by engaging with GNI posters who are practiced in the art of posting bunk, meaningless drivel, and nonsensical mumbo jumbo like antabanta above. Say something interesting or intelligent and the Rev will readily respond, but post crap and foolishness and you'll be roundly ignored.
