Dear Mr. Prime Minister
DEAR Mr. Prime Minister, lend me your ear. I’d like to speak solely to you in my first Sounding Off for the New Year. How do you feel when you look at the state of our island today? I mean how do you really feel? Before we go further, I’m not blaming you for any of it, you’re only fresh off the boat and what is going on now is the result of decades of hard work…or lack thereof, But I just want to know how the current state makes you feel.
Snaliah Mahal – For The Love of Globetrotting
ONE of the greatest injustices one can go through in life is to never experience life outside of one’s hometown/birthplace.

But with all that said, no one saw this move coming by a long shot.

LAW abiding Lucians, stand up! I am sick of this crime scourge that is beginning to strangle our beautiful nation…the same way they strangled Rose Anne Raymond!
