Jamaica Gleaner Letters
published: Sunday | October 10, 2004

Letter of the day - 'Work crisis' view is challenged
THE EDITOR, Sir: IN RESPONSE to the Gleaner Editors' Forum held in Montego Bay, I have to say that the Montego Bay business community has a serious problem with reality if they cannot find skilled workers for their organisations.

One career day is not enough
THE EDITOR, Sir: WE GO to school for many reasons, prime among them should be to absorb the skills, mindset and knowledge necessary to participate in the economy and society.


Incentives for retirees
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM sure this idea has been mooted previously but nothing seems to have happened, so here we go again. Why not offer incentives such as low income tax rate or tax-free income to retired persons who can help in nation-building.


Giving credit where it is due
THE EDITOR, Sir: LET ME congratulate the Government, private sector and the other civic organisations on their efforts to restore some semblance of order to the country after the effects of Hurricane Ivan.


Two sides to the story
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE GENERAL apathy with which we view the tertiary students' plight is rather disconcerting.


On religious tolerance
THE EDITOR, Sir: AS A consequence of some recent letters published, I have come to the conclusion that many Jamaicans are very intolerant towards others' religious beliefs. However, this issue seems to go deeper than just being Jamaican.
