RE; Proposal by the TODAY-newspaper for public participation of proposing new Minister of Health & Labor for Country St. Maarten.OUR COMMENTARY; First of all we commend Mr. HAAR of the TODAY-newspaper for this initiative.
In our opinion, it clearly adds a new-, and positive 'dimension' to reporting, by contributing towards the democratic process by means of public participation.
While we happily participate in this initiative by suggesting a candidate, we must beg the person's indulgence as well, since we have not approached the person.
Consequently do not even know if the person is interested in the position.
But, in the event it does not 'work out', we accept the 'risk' of falling 'flat on our face'.
Description & motivation
Our candidate is a male person, of a highly respected traditional St. Martin family, whose roots and historical contributions are undisputed and legendary.
In addition our candidate is a professional in the medical field with many years of experience.
To his great credit, our candidate person is known to be one of the most 'down to earth' St. Martin professionals one can imagine, who is more than well-liked by so many people.
Testament to this, is also the many calls of well-wishes he received when was was guest on Oral GIBBES, some week ago.
When he does his work, he does such focused as professional, a medical specialist.
But, when he is 'liming', he does such with a 'passion' ( :-) :-* ) of a real grassroots, St. Martin man.
Our candidate is none other than...dr. Michel PETIT
Dr. PETIT, please forgive me, for being so 'forward', I will make up for it, when we meet again.
