Arthur Chung lies in state at the National Culture Centre
Viewing of the body of Guyana’s first President, the late Mr. Arthur Raymond Chung, O.E., took place yesterday in the foyer of the National Cultural Centre.

State-run buses once again
Transportation in any country is key to production.
If we accept that transportation is the key to production, then we believe it is the state’s responsibility to see to the proper functioning of this facility.
One of the best and most efficient means of transportation throughout the world is the railway system which, up to today, moves […]
Year of major events
This is a year of major sports events, reality shows, singing competitions, the Olympics and international pageants (about to happen) have really been great showings of television and it’s always of interest when Guyana is represented.

When the licence concessions were made available, many people took the opportunity in acquiring and […]
A gift to silent, suffering animals
A friend visiting from Toronto came by my house on Wednesday June 18th, 2008. As we chatted he told me that while at the New Amsterdam Stelling he saw a female dog with a huge oozing tumor (size of a grapefruit) hanging under her tummy. After he left I called my friend and mega-animal lover, […]
