THE GECOM fraud trial has been sputtering like a car with an engine that’s been misfiring for four long years. And yet, there it was again last week, now a brand-new trial that is still apparently flailing, but nonetheless still deserving of public attention. It is no longer subjected to an indictable process, but is […]

(Xinhua) CHINESE animated sensation ‘Ne Zha 2’ has made history once again, surpassing Disney’s 2019 ‘The Lion King’ to secure a spot among the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time globally. According to ticketing platform Maoyan, as of early Monday afternoon, the film’s global earnings — including presales — had reached 12.05 billion yuan

By Vanessa Cort IN my last article, I dealt with the police and their sometimes casual attitude towards victims of domestic and gender-based violence. Today, I would like to address the victims – both former and present. For as those who have suffered or are suffering domestic abuse, you must learn what measures you can

DEAR Lincoln Lewis, if you are going to keep insisting, like a broken record, that GECOM adopts biometrics in order to eliminate electoral fraud, then, for heaven’s sake, stop copying and pasting text from artificial intelligence apps and passing it off as your own!

  IN recent years, Chinese President Xi Jinping has charted a new blueprint for building a China-Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) community with a shared future, ushering the China-LAC relationship into a new era defined by equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness, and people-centred benefits.

BY harping incessantly on biometrics, Lincoln Lewis has become the mouthpiece for an opposition that knows it simply can’t win against the PPP/C in a free and fair election. Having tried to steal votes in 2020 and failed, they are now insisting on biometrics as a panacea to a system that they themselves tried to

By Vanessa Cort IT is a subject that I have been forced to return to from time to time because domestic and gender-based violence continue to plague our society. What is more alarming is that even when women opt to leave abusive relationships they are still being stalked and attacked by their former partners. The year has

As I travel around the city on mini-buses, there is one theme that keeps popping up. People in Georgetown want to know what is happening with the government’s disbursement of the $100,000 cheques. The general consensus seems to be that Region Four will be left for last in the distribution process. Said one passenger on

IF Geeta Chandan-Edmond stands alone in an enlightened corner of the APNU+AFC rigmarole coalition, Christopher Jones appears to be counted among its ill-informed. A lot of crazy, laugh out loud bare-faced lies were spoken by coalition MPs during the debate over Budget 2025 in the National Assembly. However, Jones, the Chief Whip of the APNU+AFC,

IN an address to the Guyana Police Force (GPF) two years ago, President Irfaan Ali called for a “new standard of performance and professionalism.” Of course, this call is not limited to the Police Force but extends to those in our workforce throughout the country. Our falling standards have been a cause of concern for
