After the retirement of his dad, the onus is on Bharat to look after the Delhi-based family. He has two younger college-going brothers, Deepak and Vijay, and a sister of marriage age, Radha.

Bharat is a graduate, but is unable to secure any employment, much to the frustration of his girlfriend, Sheetal. Vijay takes step to secure his own future, by turning to crime, which is strongly opposed by Bharat, and as a result Vijay leaves the house. Mohan is Sheetal's boss, and finds her very attractive. When he proposes marriage, she accepts, and soon both are engaged.

This leaves Bharat devastated, unable to deal with life, and unable to afford the basic needs of Roti (food), Kapada (Clothing), and Makaan (Shelter), he must now decide to carry on honestly, or otherwise.

This movie came out in Guyana  around the time that Burnham had pledge to feed, clothed and house the nation

India has a population  of 1,425,775,850 as at the end of April 2023. Are there not actors other than these Khans?

I don't want to see another movie with them. They are too old.

List of preferred names was handed to delegates at PPP Congress before voting

A SN editorial on May 11 missed the most important activity, the main purpose of the Congress, namely the election or selection of the Central Committee. I attended the Congress with my uncle from Anna Regina; he has high regards for Vice President Jagdeo, but he was most disappointed with proceedings and the Saturday night entertainment.

The CC is the most important body of the PPP, and it is tasked with electing or selecting the General Secretary or leader of the party as well as the Presidential Candidate and head of the list to choose Members of Parliament. As in previous Congresses, the election or selection was fraught with flaws. There was fraud and members spoke openly about it. The Central Committee election or selection was manipulated to obtain a list of members with utmost loyalty to two individuals, the President and Vice President. The irony of the PPP Congress is that the individuals who cried the loudest about electoral fraud in March 2020 were the ones behind fraud in the congress. And the star lawyer, Anil Nandlall, who was primarily responsible for deterring the attempted fraud and for the PPP being in government was cheated at the Congress. In the six Congresses that my uncle from Anna Regina and I attended, I never witnessed or experienced such bold-faced skullduggery or fraud. My uncle concurred.

The Congress was held May 3, 4, and 5 at the Convention Center. Election to the all-important Central Committee was held on May 4.  Counting was done behind closed walls throughout the night and results announced mid-afternoon of May 5.

A preferred list of 26 names was circulated among many, but not all, of the 2512 delegates that they must vote for on that list of nominees.  WhatsApp and text message of the list was also sent to selected delegates on who they must vote for. The Amerindian delegates were targeted and instructed to vote for that list of preferred nominees. The list was sanctioned by the big guns at Freedom House and distributed with their consent. Prominent individuals, inclusive of several on the list, went around targeting the Amerindian delegates and selected others, instructing them how to vote and who to vote for. The Amerindians came in special air-conditioned Brazilian buses; many of the delegates came with their families, making the trip as a family outing. There were over 2,000 Amerindians at the Convention Center. Their entire expense (lodging, food, phone, transport, wifi, etc. was borne by the party or was it the government. The PPP put them up in special mass facilities in Sophia and surrounding areas not far from the Convention Center.

In the preferred list were such names as Kwame McCoy, Nigel Dharamlall, Mae Thomas, Faizal Jaffarally, Bryan Allicock, Jennifer Westford, Paul Cheong, Anand Persaud, among others. The preferred list was noted not for the names included but the names excluded. Among those excluded were long time stalwarts: Anil Nandlall (who was primarily responsible for the PPP being in office from August 2, 2020), Vindya Persaud, Frank Anthony, Seeraj Dharamkumar, Charles Ramson, Bheri Ramsaran, Sase Gunraj, Clement Rohee, Donald Ramotar, Indranie Chandarpal, Vishwa Mahadeo, Hydar Ally, among others.

When the voting was about to take place, an announcement was made that those who were not delegates must leave the two massive tents of over four thousand. Only a handful of individuals left the tent. Ballots were distributed to everyone who remained. Those who received the preferred list matched it against nominees on the ballots and ticked off names accordingly. The ballots were presumably counted (manufactured?) and the results announced on Sunday mid-afternoon. There was no transparency in the counting. And not everyone at the site there was eligible for a ballot.

Those excluded from the preferred list did relatively poorly. Kwame McCoy and Nigel Dharamlall got more votes than Anil Nandlall, Frank Anthony, Vindya Persaud and all the others who were not on that list. It was not an election; it was a selection. If the results were not ‘kacked’, the party’s supporters, the country would have gotten a true picture of support for the varied nominees. It is important to note that more than 200 delegates did not vote for Irfaan Ali or Jagdeo. Who were they? They must have been turned off by the fraud. The entire country should condemn the fraud.

Those at the top were pleased at the outcome. The native Amerindian people were used and abused to produce a desired outcome of the PPP Congress as they also did in the past three Congresses. An old worn-out strategy was successful once again. There is no redeeming quality in some of the persons selected on the CC; at least one of them is accused of rape again. And more of them have been involved in abuses of female Indigenous people. The Congress was also known for much vulgarity not worth repeating here. Clearly, the PPP leadership has not learned anything from the experience of previous Congresses or from the period March 2, 2020 thru August 1, 2020. Dr. Jagan and Janet would not have closed their eyes to the fraud; they must be turning in their graves. Was the change in administration of August 2, 2020 worth it?

Yours truly,

Receive a sus text? Does an email look off? Is a family member asking for money? Why is the CRA threatening the police and Canada Post wanting you to log in? It just might be a scam.

That ominous text telling you your Netflix account will be suspended unless you pay your bill. The constant texts from what appears to be Canada Post telling you it’s unable to deliver a package due to a wrong address. Just click a link and you’ll get all your things!

Sometimes the fraud is sneakier—although who can be blamed for wanting to pay a bill? For Daria, she and six friends paid Bailey, a “travel hacker,” for a trip to Thailand in January 2024. A had a Clubhouse group (remember the conversation app?), and Daria and the other members had got great tips from Bailey and other co-mods in the space. (Names have been changed, as the case has yet to be resolved.)

The seven women paid Bailey for hotel rooms and flew the 20-hour trip from North America to Thailand, only to find out that Bailey wasn’t joining them until a few days later. Then, to their horror, Bailey never showed up, she cancelled her trip two days before it ended and she had never paid the hotel for their rooms with the money she was paid by the seven women. Just one received a refund. The others have issued credit card chargebacks and have even contacted the FBI.

It seems like scams and phishing attacks are everywhere. If they’re not calling or texting, they are messaging you. On every. Single. Platform. Just while writing this, I had two calls threatening me with the police and a text message asking me to verify my address.

It’s irritating at best and financially devastating at worst. According to the RCMP, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) received reports totalling $531 million in victim losses in 2022. That’s a 40% increase from 2021. In 2023, Canadians lost $554 million. Think those numbers are big? Know that the CAFC estimates that just 5% to 10% of people report fraud.

Why do scams and phishing work on Canadians?

Why do we fall for frauds, scams and phishing? Maggie Cheung, a spokesperson from the Canadian Bankers Association, says it’s because of deception, manipulation and pressure tactics.

“Cyber criminals often use human psychology and the art of manipulation to scare, confuse or rush you into opening a malicious link or attachment or into providing personal information through a process known as social engineering,” she says.

These social engineering tactics force us to respond quickly, through the use of fear (like, you owe the Canada Revenue Agency money that needs to be paid stat) and leveraging our urges to respond to authority. (The CEO really needs you to send that bank transfer now, and the email looks real.) These pressure tactics are so sophisticated, they’re believable. That’s why the finance writer of The Cut found herself putting USD$50,000 in a cardboard box into the back of a car.

The common types of scams

Anyone can be a victim of a scam, says Cheung. That’s because the techniques to convince you are complex, and cyber criminals are adept at telling a believable story. Some of the more popular scams are:

• The romance scam. The scammer gains the victim’s trust and affection and uses that relationship to steal money from them. The CAFC says this popular scam cost Canadians more than $41 million in 2023.

• The grandparent scam, where the scammer spoofs the grandchild’s voice and asks for immediate financial help. Think “Grandma, I’m in jail. I need bail money. Don’t tell mom and dad.”

• The locked-up account scam. This is when you get a phishing text saying a streaming account has been locked and will only be released if you pay the bill or log in to a site that looks legitimate. They save your log-in, use it and lock you out of your account.

• Online/remote/part-time job scam. They really seem to love WhatsApp. These scams offer easy-to-do jobs with great pay, and all they want in return is all your personal information to send you money via an electronic transfer to pay for the materials.

Plus, there are tax-refund scams, rental scams, extortion scams and lottery scams. There are so many scams. The CAFC has an ongoing list of the different types and at last count, there are more than 80 different scams.

Speaking of electronic transfers…

Can I get scammed through an e-transfer?

Generally, transfers are safe, but you can get scammed through one. There are the marketplace scams where you either send money via an e-transfer for an item you’ve bought off of Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji but never receive the items, or you send an item but never get paid for it.

Then there are the phishing emails where scammers will send emails supposedly from reputable companies to get you to reveal your bank, credit and debit card information so they get access, lock you out and empty your account or use credit to its limits.

Yet another electronic transfer scam is where the fraudster intercepts your email money transfer, guesses the password (or has it due to phishing) and steals your money. Most banks now don’t require a password for transferring money. If you don’t have automatic deposit, sign up for it.

How to report a scam in Canada

Financial institutions do have a variety of tools to verify and authenticate customers’ information, but what can you do if you get scammed?

• The first thing to do, according to Consumer Protection Ontario, is to stop communicating with them.
• Next, change any and all passwords to any affected accounts, and that includes banking and social media sign-ons.
• Next, call a consumer reporting agency to put an alert on your accounts, which will notify you if any credit cards, loans or any other finance product was opened using your information. The two main consumer reporting agencies are Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada. For extra security, you could enable account monitoring, which costs $24.95 or more per month.
• Report the scam or fraud to both your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
• Gather all evidence, including all communications, documents, receipts and more. If you had in-person contact with the scammer, don’t touch the documents as they may have left fingerprints.
• Write down all your interactions with the scammer while fresh in your mind.

The last point is exactly what Daria did. She and her fellow travellers started documenting their and Bailey’s actions once they started getting suspicious.

Do banks and credit cards refund scammed money?

If you suspect a scam, report it immediately. Definitely report it to your financial institution as soon as possible. If it’s related to credit, your card will be immediately frozen. The good news is that if you protected your credit card from fraud and didn’t reveal any verification details like your personal identification number (PIN) or the answers to your secret questions, both Visa and Mastercard have liability protection and you can receive a refund. You can also dispute a charge and file a chargeback on your credit card or PayPal account. This reverses the money paid. Credit card chargebacks can take weeks or even longer so be prepared to wait.

If the credit card issuer won’t give you the money via a chargeback, you can contact the banking ombudsman to file a complaint.

If you were scammed out of money from your bank account, let your bank know. The federal government says that people are not responsible for losses beyond their control. That includes if someone uses your debit card after you’ve reported it lost or stolen.

However, when it comes to scams, it can be very difficult to recoup lost money, so right now the best defence against scams is to be aware of them.

How to check if a website, email or phone number is a scam

If you suspect a scam or a phishing attempt, there are some things you can do before you proceed.

How to check your emails:

• Do not click any links in any emails, texts or social media messages. You can hover the link to see where it goes.
• Consider the address. If it’s from a company or government department but has a public address such as Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo treat it suspiciously. Still, scammers are getting savvy and doing similar domains with slight spelling differences…
• So, check the spelling. Is the email domain address misspelt? If Netflix is spelled like Net-flix or “microsoftonline” is spelled, “microsftonline” (missing an O), the email or website is fraudulent. And look for poorly written emails with grammatical errors.
• Look at the tone. If the email has high-pressure tactics such as demanding urgent and immediate action from your CEO or demands to immediately pay bills, delete it and contact the company directly.
• Be wary of random invoices and other attachments when you’re not expecting any.

• Suspicious websites

  • Hover over the URL with your mouse to check the URL. Look for spelling mistakes or variances.
  • Same for the website content: Are there spelling and grammatical errors?
  • Is it an “http” or an “https”? Most legitimate websites use “https,” with the S indicating security measures. But scammers have also spoofed this so don’t rely only on this.
  • Check for uncommon domain endings such as .org versus, say, .com or .ca.
  • Check the SSL certificate which proves the validity of the website and shows that it’s encrypted by clicking on the padlock icon in your url window of your browser

  Unknown phone numbers

  • Know that Amazon, Visa and the CRA haven’t called the police on you.
  • Let unknown callers go straight to voicemail. Look up the number after to verify the origin, or just search the company’s actual website and get the 1-800 number.
  • Never give any personal information over the phone when someone calls you, regardless of who they claim to be. Instead, hang up and call the company directly based on a phone number on a receipt, bill or website.
  • • If you get one of those “grandparent” calls, hang up and call your family directly.

    In all cases, if you suspect a scam or fraud, report it to the company and the police. You may save someone else thousands of dollars.

The Guyana Passport Office Is the WORST In 2024

The Guyana Passport office is the WORST in 2024. Guyanese waste hours every day waiting to process their passport applications. The facilities at the passport office are inconvenient and inhospitable. The waiting room does not use modern crowd management methods or tools. The washrooms at the passport office are filthy and hazardous for the hundreds of people who need to use them daily. When public facilities and systems don't function properly, people rely on corruption and bribery. Many Guyanese believe that it is the worst passport office and government service in the country.

Surdas was a late 14th-century blind saint, poet and musician, known for his devotional songs dedicated to Lord Krishna.

Surdas is said to have written and composed a hundred thousand songs in his magnum opus the 'Sur Sagar' (Ocean of Melody), out of which only about 8,000 are extant.

He is considered a saguna bhakti poet and so also known as Sant Surdas, a name which literally means the "servant of melody".

Citizens outraged over schoolchildren being asked to write essay on free breakfast programme

                                  Education Minister, Priya Manickchand

Kaieteur News – The Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Education has asked children to write essays on how the school breakfast programme has impacted them- a move which was roundly condemned on social media Wednesday.

The flyer with the competition was first highlighted by journalist Gordon Moseley who exclaimed: “Seriously Ministry of Education? Why must we be so crass as a nation?”

His comment was followed by a string of other comments. “We gah get campaign material budday! 2025 eh deh far,” one person wrote. Another said: A teacher, Randy Mingo added: “When I think this government hit rock bottom and it can’t get any worse, they keep surprising us. Them digging below the bottom for a new low. Disgraceful and distasteful. Smh.”  Another person commented: “This is least of our concern right now MOE. We want our teachers to remain in school! Please and thanks…”

Well-known social media influencer Odessa Primus said: “This ain’t even funny. Why would you humiliate children like that? Omg! Repulsive!  I wouldn’t like to know if this was Priya personal money being used. It would be interesting to see how this mess is going to be defended.”   Another person said: “Yuh know them people when dem give yuh something they gotta talk about it over and over again until fowl-cock grow teeth? Them people is the Ministry of Education. How low???!. A breakfast programme that is funded using TAXPAYERS money.”

Odacy Davis said:

“This is sickening…ova lil breakfast???. My granny always say don’t make food an issue. If someone is hungry feed them…no questions ask…no favour required in return…”

On September 6, 2022 Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand launched the National Breakfast programme which provides a daily breakfast meal to Grade Six students in the coastal regions, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and 10. The programme was launched at the McKenzie Primary School as part of the Ministry’s activities to observe Education Month in 2022. Minister Manickchand, while delivering the feature address said that the programme was not birthed because the Ministry believes parents cannot provide breakfast for their children, she said, “We believe many can. But we also know a lot of children come to school without breakfast.”

The Education Minister said that it is the state’s duty to help children as far as finances allow. She said that research around the world has proven that children who benefit from healthy nutrition learn better and perform better in school. Additionally, she said that the School Feeding Programme has shown increased attendance and enrollment at schools.

Minister Manickchand explained then that the Regional Administration in each region was asked to advise on who would be the best persons within the locale to cook and prepare the meals. She said that those persons are being hired to cook and that the Ministry is paying for each meal. Further, she said that if those persons contracted to supply the meals cannot deliver what is required, there will be no delay in replacing them. She said then that the Ministry intends to maintain a high standard on the programme so that children receive what is intended. “So I hope you understand what we intend; for children of Region 10, the children of Guyana will be given a nutritious and filling breakfast at the Grade Six level, every morning,” Manickchand had said.
