Bark Di Trute Helps Bank Customers To Recover Thousands of Dollars

This is another evening to rejoice after working with some Scotia Bank consumers to get back funds that miraculously disappeared from their bank accounts.

A few weeks ago, I assisted one customer in getting back nearly eighty thousand dollars, and today, the other customer advised me that she got back her over two hundred thousand dollars.

To our leaders in the banking sector, don't jump to blame customers when things go wrong. Far more can be done to secure the people's funds. I have made many suggestions over the years. I appeal to media houses to take up this challenge of customers losing funds from their bank accounts. Let me encourage the leadership of the banks to inform and educate their customers how they can help to protect their accounts.

Many of those who work in the banks are from poor working-class families. You have a responsibility to protect these people, especially when they are not computer literate. Don't just throw the books at them when things go wrong.

Click the bar below to listen to this lady, who sent me this beautiful voicemail tonight after getting her funds back from Scotia Bank. She is a hardworking farmer in the hills of St. Andrew.

Remember that it is nice to be nice to others. It will help you to live a nice life, so be nice. Being nice does not mean allowing everyone to walk all over you. I am telling you this from experience. 

Please share this blog with your bankers and other bank customers.

Check the dormant account list to see if you or your family has funds there. The government will take it after a while. CLICK HERE.

Action Needed Now To Deal With Our Young People - Criminals Seem To Be In Charge Of Schools!

Student-run things- Jamaica College

Is this Excelsior High?

Belair High School students?

Certain things must be given priority, and if these are given priority, there will be prosperity. Let's take a look at a few of the pillars for building a great society:

1. The first place to start is to ensure that children are brought up in homes where they are properly socialized.
2. Emphasis must be placed on early childhood education. This should be a time for children to have fun and learn at the same time.
3. At the secondary level, the proper socialization should continue. The emphasis should not only be on acquiring knowledge but also on socializing the young people to function in an environment where there is order and discipline. They should acquire the skills that can make them productive in society. This is the stage where emphasis should be placed on accountability.
4. At the tertiary level, we should transform people into thinkers who are creative and highly skilled. The tertiary level should not turn people into bookworms. That level should be putting out leaders for the nation. That does not mean you have to be a tertiary graduate to be a leader.

I have suggested before that we need a national socialization programme for young people aged 15 to 25. At each stage in the programme, the young people should receive awards. Too much emphasis is placed on awards for adults who don't need it, and there is little recognition for young people unless they excel in sports

I have written this article because I am not convinced enough is being done to properly socialize our youngsters nationally. Recently, I wrote about the case of assault at Jamaica College, and rather than trying to deal with the problem, some past students were busy trying to tear down Bark Di Trute and the news media. This weekend I was informed of another case of assault. This is an indication that something is wrong with the school environment. Students feel they have to take their own action to deal with challenges.

This evening, there is news of a Seaforth High School student killing another student. There is also a video being circulated of students assaulting other students. I would like to hear from the Excelsion High School administration if they are aware of that video.

The following are some of the many articles that I have written about the challenges in our schools. I wonder how many people really care.

1. Prime Minister Holness Announces Comprehensive Measures to Address Escalating School Violence
2. Jamaica College Disgraced By Hoodlums
3. These Knox College Students Are An Embarrassment - Put Them Somewhere Else!
4. Principal of St. James High Being Targeted, Why? Part I
5. Retreat Seventh-Day Adventist Church Pastor Send's Letter to Parents About 'Unfortunate Incident'
6. CCTV To Deal With Crime
7. Bullying In Schools Continues
8. Student Flung From Moving JUTC School Bus
9. Update On Bullying at Rock River Primary
10. Dragged Up Children Will Drag Down The Society
11. What's Happening In Our Schools, Mona High, St. James High, Hopewell High and Others?
12. Corruption in our Schools - Auditor General Needs to Jump on This One!

There maybe persons who might be concerned about the negative things that others may say about them. 

My "good friend, Dale Carnegie" reminds me, "No one kicks a dead dog; An unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment."

My "good friend", Rocio, reminds me that there is a popular saying in Argentina. It goes like this: "Whatever Pepito says about Quan, it is more about Pepito than it is about Quan".

Sometimes we are our worst enemies. for example, "Who brings news to you will bring it back on you" (Mighty Sparrow in his song called Parables).

How often do we hear someone saying to us, "I am going to tell you something but you should not tell anyone"? Implication: If we are not able to keep our own secret, then how do we expect others to keep it? ( RCKM).

Nb. The greatest secret is that there is no secret (RCKM).

The strangest secret is that we become what we think about—this is the only philosophy that has never been disputed (Earl Nightingale).

Bullying In Schools Continues

 

It seems as if bullying continues in our schools. I just received this video showing another schoolboy being bullied.

The sugar coating of bullying cases does not work. Sending out fancy press releases will not change the narrative and the reality of what is happening.

Attacking the Bark Di Trute editor will not solve the problem either. I advise parents that if your child is bullied, take your child to the general practitioner and to the psychiatrist and make sure that you report the incident to the police. Ensure that the police give you a receipt for the report. Even if it means borrowing money, get a lawyer and take civil action.

Let the court handle these bullying cases, and let the offenders' parents pay dearly for the cruelty displayed by their children.

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear or let them feel it.

That Flat Bridge - Duppy Dung Dey

Some believe that there are ghosts at Flat Bridge, causing people to lose their lives in the river. Would you blame the ghosts or duppies for this behaviour shown in the video below? 

How do you think the authorities should deal with this problem?

More Potholes - Kingsway Avenue In Kingston And St. Andrew

Citizens continue to complain about the number of sinkholes in Kingston and St. Andrew. I wonder if we are waiting until there is no road and we have to get a big contract to fix the whole road. The inability to maintain our roads properly is costing the country and taxpayers a significant amount of cash.

The following message was sent from a Bark Di Trute supporter who resides in Minister Delroy Chuck's constituency:

Dear Vernon, this is the very wide pothole at the entrance of King's Way, turning in from Hope Road. Someone must have put in some gravel , but it's still holding up the traffic tremendously!

It's actually two potholes.

Probably someone can tell us why the NWA, the worst-performing government department, is allowed to continue to frustrate the people.

Problems caused by potholes.

1. Accidents caused when motorists swing out of potholes.
2. Damage vehicles, which increases costs to motor vehicle owners.
3. Impedes the flow of traffic.
4. Cause motorists to burn more fuel.
5. Encourages the breeding of mosquitoes.
6. A danger to those who are not sighted.

Neurosurgeon Dr Roger Hunter Has Been Reinstated As A Physician

Dr. Roger Hunter

Bark Di Trute has seen information from Professor Jean Williams-Johnson, Registrar of the Medical Council of Jamaica, stating that the Medical Appeal Tribunal has directed that neurosurgeon Dr Roger Hunter be reinstated to the register of the Medical Council of Jamaica.

The directive was sent to Dr Radcliff Goulbourn, Registrar for the Pharmacy Council of Jamaica.

The information stated that Dr Hunter will be entitled to all the rights and privileges accorded to a duly registered physician in Jamaica.

I understand that this information has not been shared with the public and, specifically, with the members of the medical profession, such as pharmacists. 

Persons have commented that Dr Hunter is a genius, but sometimes geniuses are unusual people.

National Identification Helping to Combat Identify Theft and Fraud

Dr Warren Vernon

Executive Director of the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA), Dr. Warren Vernon, says the national identification (ID) programme is an important tool in combatting identity theft and fraud.

“We know identity theft and fraud are happening in Jamaica. We would have discovered quite a few cases of persons who tried to apply for national ID cards, and we were able to detect the fraudulent documentation,” he told JIS News.

Dr. Vernon emphasised that each identity within the system is unique, ensuring no duplication. He explained that this identity is matched against birth records or, for individuals not born in Jamaica, records maintained by the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA).

He informed that since enrolments for national identification cards began, several attempts were made to register using fake documentation, including fraudulent birth certificates, noting that the system was able to detect these cases.

“We came across over 372 cases where the identity information or the data provided by citizens to us to enrol was different from the data that is in other government databases. So, to achieve the objective of the high-assurance or high-confidence tool, we would have cleaned and fixed over 372 records to make sure that the names that are in the civil registry, in other words, the name that is on your birth certificate, is the same exact name that is on your document,” the Executive Director added.

He further stated that these measures are being implemented through processes designed to provide a higher level of assurance for identity information.

Dr. Vernon noted that there have been instances where individuals seeking to enrol for their national ID did not have fingerprints. He explained, however, that the system is equipped to manage such cases through the necessary approvals.

“We have to do an override to facilitate enrolment. So, the system was designed in such a way to be very, very inclusive,” Dr. Vernon stated.

The National Identification and Registration Authority is now in its first full year of integrated operations, with a mandate to provide reliable identification for Jamaicans and all persons legally residing in the country.

This new public body is also tasked with delivering reliable civil registration services through the Office of the Registrar General.

Editor's Notes

Dr Vernon, please, Sir, drop the use of these hackneyed and stereotype phases which are grammatically incorrect. These include "...we would have.", and "I would have." You should lead the society and not follow the incorrect things said in society.

I still cannot understand why some people objected to a National ID programme. I expect the criminals to object to the system.

Breaking News - Eric Collins Is Dead

Eric Collins

His friends became very concerned when they realized he was not contributing to the discussions in the past students' WhatsApp group. Calls to his phone went unanswered. The rumours started, and Bark Di Trute was contacted. It did not take long for me to get information that the popular Eric Collins was killed while driving on Mountain View Avenue, in Kingston on Friday.

Eric was a past student of Meadowbrook High School and a former employee of JNBS.

We encourage the members of the JCF to use the Emergency Alert System to get information to the traditional media houses and bloggers about incidents like this. People need to know what's happening. For example, they need to know if they should avoid Mountain View Avenue at this time. Information shared with the public might even help to solve some of these crimes.

We are waiting on an official report from the police.

Please add your comments at the bottom of the blog. Share this blog with all your friends and relatives.
