It is good that there are Bahamians employed on the project but there aren't any skilled tradesmen; only laborers.

That's hysterical!! Do they even have all the proper building permits yet?

Bahamian contractors need to go sit on a bridge!

This whole thing is unpatriotic, I can understand how they can get away with bringing 500 FIVE HUNDRED Chinese builders (And after they screwed up the last job!!??) whilst there are so many unemployed Bahamian contractors doing nothing.

And the contractors who never got paid from Baha Mar must be livid.

The same thing that happened to Baha Mar could happen to the Point.

Then What!?

Ah, very professional Mr Liu, with ad hominem attacks. Keep it classy! This is exactly how you can gauge who is who in this fight.

Comrades the PLP cabinet seems to have opened a “drive-thru permit granting window” and that anything they tell the public is “completely staged.” Only The Point vehicles need lineup.
McDonald's menus says burgers and fries. The PLP Cabinet's reads - rubber stamping for 500 fill in the names later Chinese nationals work permits, town planning permits, ministry of works and environmental permits, labour code permits.
I guess the government does not respect a policy that if you didn't honour your past financial and contractual obligations - we will not do business with that corporate identity.
Comrades you couldn't even try make this stuff up that a foreign corporation can came to Bahamaland and turn local supplies millions of dollars into worthless pennies - and the people's government keeps doing business with that exact same corporate identity.
Normally, i would say Pindling must be turning over in his grave but how can I under the known The Point personalities circumstances, dare mess with the spirits of the graveyard.

Not sure what the Bahamian workers are doing but so far (I pass there everyday) I have seen 3 Bahamians workers sweeping the sidewalk, 3 Bahamian workers sitting on the wall near the entrance gate and most of the time there is 1 Bahamian worker opening the entrance gate (I assume the Chinese man the gate when they are toting materials to their other projects). That's it. I have also seen the Chinese painting the scaffolding, along the road, white. Don't tell me a work permit was given to a Chinaman to paint scaffolding. Surely we have qualified Bahamians for that!!!!! But then again, the Chinese paint is probably full of lead (poisoning) so it may be best that Bahamians don't mess with it.

Somebody should find out exactly how much Steffan Christie and Jimmy Mosko were paid above and beyond the normal Real Estate Commission. These people have bought and paid for the Bahamian people. I do not ever want to hear anyone even mutter the word SLAVERY because what Christie and the PLP have done to the people of this Country, is far far worse than what the Tribal Chiefs did to the Africans that they sold them into Slavery. The white man paid money for the people and kept them healthy so they could work for him. Is anyone looking out for the Bahamian people today. No frigging way.

The slavery today is almost exactly the same as the slavery years ago. The black man (Perry) selling out his black people. The only difference this time is that our tribal chief is selling his people and his land to the Chinese.

*Mr Lui suggested that The Pointe is in a different category from the stalled Baha Mar resort in that it was “not some private development that tries to keep the people away from the beach (or) tries to make it their own territory for their own ego”.*
This is rich coming from a Chinaman working for the Chinese Government which has an abolinable Human Rights record:
*Human rights campaigners say that China continues to target activists and their family members with harassment, imprisonment and torture.
The government has frequently imprisoned people who have spoken about politically sensitive topics. In July, there was a crackdown on lawyers who worked on cases involving free speech and abuses of power. Amnesty International says that 245 lawyers and activists have been targeted since July. One of the best known, Li Heping, is still missing.
Amnesty says there needs to be more awareness of cases such as that of Cao Shunli, a human rights activist who died in police detention last year. Her family said that she had been denied medical attention and that they had been refused access to her body. The government has denied any mistreatment, saying that the activist's "lawful rights and interests have been protected in accordance with law".

Sickened: Perhaps Leslie is counting the Bahamian staff in the Hotel. These PLP bitches could stretch the truth further than a - "I won't say what" !

I wonder if the reason they will have enough money to finish is because they are not buying golf clubs, wine, and cigars? They got straight on that stuff from their last job.

Sorry Mr. Liu but actions speak louder than words. If you are so concerned about and "welcoming" of Bahamians and their families then you can start now by employing a far more "welcoming" ratio of Bahamian construction workers.
