Former Prime Minister Basdeo Panday has died

[Nexus]

We should rename the airport to the Basdeo Panday International Airport, but that will never happen

[maj. tom]

I'm satisfied with the Amerindian name for the airport, and hope it never changes.

I find so...every major project beset with some of the biggest corruption/mismanagement we ever see as a nation should be named after the PM at the time.

The ball already rolling with the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Basdeo Panday Airport up next, then the Patrick Manning Cricket Academy (alternatively we can just rename Udecott to Patrick Manning Co Ltd.), KPB Highway/KPB Water Treatment Plant (people's pick) and finally Keith Rowley Trinidad and Tobago

He is

Eric's list of public fruck ups makes Panday look like Lee Kuan Yew. We even took former Government Ministers to Canadian courts for monies stolen in the 1980s and won.

I am not for any biulding being named after any leader.....its a Colonial thing stemming from CHR and UBH and Claude Noel (who end up being a full blown bandit)..

Its a crappy concept...in case yuh feel issa Black/PNM thing.

[Monk BANzai]

But doh tie this up with the need to have a former Sitting Prime Minister receive a State Funeral. That is a mark of a respect on behalf of the Country to that Politician's family.

If UNC smart.... now is the time to mend bridges with Mickela (sp) and prep for a godo run in 2025.... imagine her on a podium saying "when my Daddy was alive"....with her sisters Nicola, Vastala and the other one name again? (the cute looking one ....hear nah ..Oma make some kinda children dey....faddah)...sitting on the front row at a UNC platform?


Go be 2010 all over again.....now self the streets will be laden with "WETIMENAO" placards...

Zoom just went nuclear in bantanamo reading that

[FrankChag]

Dunno. What is he then? Latino?

Our census records two categories of mixed race who cumulatively account for around a quarter of the population.
Mixed - African/East Indian
Mixed - Other

If I had to guess it would one of those.

He looks more indo than me tbh,
and I'm Mixed-Other.

LOLZ. How about the Eric Williams Caroni Racing Complex (1978)?

In 1978 the South Bank viewed the decision taken by the PNM Government to establish the Race Track as a compensatory mechanism for filling the long void in employment opportunities provided by the former sugar factory but this expectation was short-lived owing to the graft and wanton corruption that lay at the heart of the project and perpetrated by one notorious bandit, Johnny O’Hallaron, the confidante of then Prime Minister Williams.

ah building is more pips\ranks than ah road ? ... i jes asking eh, imo its about d same level ...

[pugboy]

the bas hate is real lolll

[Dizzy28]

Nobody went Red House today to check him out?

Protocol aside I know it must be a bit strange to knowledged Hindu pundits to have this spectacle play out. Cheddi Jaggan the last Hindu Head of Govnt in the Caribbean to die (also in the US but at Walter Reed) had a 5 day gap between death and Funeral whilst Panday's is 10.

[Rovin]

^^^ same thing i said in d previous page , but its up to his family to do as they see fitting ...

[death365]

the man repeatedly said he dont want nothing named after him... respect d man wishes na.

[The_Honourable]

On Friday 5 January, 2024, the body of Mr. Basdeo Panday, former Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, lay in honour at the Red House for public viewing.

[AlphaMan]

A better version of the procession. Less talking

[paid_influencer]

saw the flag flying at half mast

plenty programs on radio today about the contribution Panday made to labour

RIP comrade
your beret is waiting

[pugboy]

kamala like she very uncomfortable talking bout bas
when interviewed

[Rovin]

^^^ i noticed it too

really good coverage by tv6 & great show of appreciation by pandays daughters coming out in d hot sun to meet & say thanks to each member of d public who stood in line waiting to go inside to show their respect ...
