That Chinese Statement A Racist
One?
During a forum, Gloria Henry president of the Montego Bay
Chamber of Commerce and Industry expressed unhappiness with the lack of
participation by the Chinese (the new arrivals to Jamaica) business community,
which has not been contributing to the building of the social fabric of Montego
Bay, warned that unless they change their attitude, they could be censured
through the boycotting of their businesses. Ms Henry must understand the
reality that while contributing to the social fabric while desirable, this is
capitalism people pay their fare share of taxes or fees and the state agencies
responsible are really the ones to be named and shamed. Another thing is that
most of these new Chinese speak mandarin, Cantonese or even Hakka and one could
ask the question who from the (MBCCI) is communicating
efficiently with these new Chinese since most of the older Jamaican born
Chinese cannot speak the more modern languages like Mandarin. Nimen hao

Roaring River Attraction
The news is
reporting that Roaring River attraction in Westmoreland which has been closed
for more than five years is to reopen within the next two months, following a
$12-million refurbishing exercise.What about Roaring River in St Ann a
lush property with hundreds of acres, a rich history, buildings and other infrastructure should
also be refurbished and developed as a tourist attraction. The buildings must
not left in ruin and property left in ruinette or affected by China Harbour
highway operations. The Heritage trust and our historians, MPs Shahine Robinson
and Lisa Hanna need to move fast working with while urging UDC,the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF), Tourism Product Development Company
(TPDCo), to come on board to save this piece of our history in St
Ann while boosting employment and foreign exchange earnings. A rescue mission
for Roaring River in St Ann is necessary. 10/09/15
