Jamaica Has Changed Forever 

Well said say it again for the haters and for the jamaican living abroad paying big price for home that is cheap crap

Well said. Some too if not their political party they criticized and don't want to see development when it benefits all Jamaicans, no matter what political party they supported

WHAT A GO ON IN JAMAICA IS THE UPPER CLASS ONE A GET THE LAND TO BUY AND WE THE LOCALS CANT GO ON THE BEACHES AND THEN WE WORK FOR LITTLE THAT CANT MIND OUR CHILDREN SELL HIM A SELL WE OUT WHAT HIM A DO IS HIS DUTY DEVELOPE THE PLACE BUT DEM DONT HAVE ANY LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE HIM WOULDNT LET DEM DEMOLISH PEOPLE HOUSE AND POLICE KILLING SO MANY YOUNG MEN WHAT HIM START CAN BE CONTINUED BY MR GOLDING UNDER THIS GOVERNMENT POLICE TREAT CITIZENS LIKE JOHNCROW PEOPLE TIRED PEOPLE FED UP OF TREATMENT IN A COUNTRY OUR ANCESTORS BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS IS IN THE LAND

I love the new development of the country because it's way better than how I knew it was back then also very good job opportunity for our ppl back home and that I wish for the locals to continue to have access to the beaches and likewise for the fishermen however this is a part of our culture that we as the people who appreciate our country and our community for the next generation to come and hoping to see more jamaican entrepreneurs investing in our country

Remember now Jamaica is the only country that have a prayer as their national Anthem 🙏

How exactly are God's hands on Jamaica when there is 100 murders a month every month for years...robbing, scammers, rapists, child killers, DEVIL has it's grip and never change, Jamaican ppl wicked

I second your comments, JA has so much to offer, the land is fertile and can grow anything. The government and the people needs to build industries that will provide jobs and goods that the people needs and desires for generations to come.

Solidarity with Jamaica. Keep on forging ahead

Agreed

Agreed!, it's so important that beachfront remains accessible to everyone in the community, unfortunately that' has not been the case in Jamaiaca over the years

Sitting down, thinking, talking, wishing, praying, quarreling amongst Ourselves, blaming, pointing fingers...are all useless tools in such situations like these. There is a way to achieve Our wishes, hopes & desires...what is that way????ask Ourselves, Pray....then Act!!!!

@@KelliLuv leave me out of the praying part. I don't pray.

@@taharka3897 that's one of the saddest thing to hear...hence My point being proven. A house/Family/Relationship/Business etc built without GOD AKA PRAYER, is a structure laid upon a bed of sand as it's foundation. What storm can such stand against????

What was the cost then?

Wanna sell?

u sure yu still own it..yuh betta check...mine pernell n michelle charles teef dat blert naut😂😂

@@jongotti9783 you should be able to reclaim it through the National registration agency. Let me get one plot when you do

@jongotti9783 Slander. Social media has a loooooong life and can be used in the court of law against people who say things about people that cannot be proven.

It would be great if they had actually completed the highway before opening it though, especially since the unfinished areas are issues concerning safety.

A him build it?😂😂

@@user-wj7sk9bo1e No, BUT he is now giving the green light to go ahead and use it for political gain. Not a good look. It will be complete in about 6 or so weeks but that is too late for his purposes. Its a matter of making responsible decisions, understand?

@@user-wj7sk9bo1e, man, quit de shit. It's the Chinese who built it; should it be named Beijing highway? I'm already so sick of everything being named after politicians: Norman Manley airport, Donald Sangster airport, PJ Patterson highway, Eddie Seaga highway... Ken Jones... Aston King... Nonsense! I would love to see it named for Paul Bogle too. --Æ.

@Deco_2k: The Highway was officially named ( Paul Bogle highway.)

Say it again

They building a new children hospital in Montego, The Cornwall Regional Hospital work is going on there. The Spanish Town Hospital is going to be done as a high class one with all the work to be done, and there's a lot of remodeling going on in the community health center, etc, so they getting there.

OMG Yessss!!!! That’s my number one concern! I keep wrestling with how to move back under the country’s current medical conditions especially lack of proper emergency/trauma care. I’ve even thought about living nearest to one of the major airports and just making sure we have money set aside to buy airline tickets last minute if my family need to fly out right away for medical care we can get to Miami 🤷🏾‍♀️

@@kemi1486 Remember all hospitals even the ones in America, replied on Donations. So all of you in the diaspora need to contribute and not only talk, complained or criticized, enough of you are overseas that can contribute to make a big difference in the health system

@@charmainethompson1319 To my knowledge, the building and improvements of public hospitals is the responsibility of the Jamaican government. It seems you know where to go to offer support so please point me to that policy or plan of improvement so I can go there to offer support. I haven’t been able to find it during my own research and I’d really love to know👍🏾

All this is great, but we still need some focus on the health system as well.😢

@heathermoore1499, I personally understand the statement you have posted about the healthcare and I do see the need for a much better healthcare system in the Island, and at the same time I know that the government is also quite aware of this issue and I am sure that although the focus is presently not being driven the same as the roadway project I have seen broadcast on the news where the ministry of health is upgrading quite a few hospital’s which in my opinion is a positive step towards the development of the healthcare system and my statement is not in support of any politician but I’m sure that with new road’s being put in place it would make it much easier to be able to transport some of the much needed medical equipment that are going to be needed to upgrade and better some of these medical facilities with state of the art equipment, which everything that’s being done is at a snail’s pace because I remember over 50 year’s ago was when I first heard about the government wanting to work on the roadway project’s and they were blasting rocks at the White Mall Quarry which is near to the Ferry Police Station and that came to a halt for whatever reason’s, anyway I do hope they give the healthcare system a full go now that their road projects are coming to a close, which will and is also going to benefit our tourist industry.

@@sunofman2008 Sorry, I don't know bullshit just like I don't know you!

I agreed that many Jamaican is seeing their island growing in status abroad .Thanks to your prime minister.mr Holness,highly respected over sea. My serious issue is the way in which utuber in Jamaica is using the island poor,old and living in zinc made shack. I was shock to see ,this,on my cell phone. The worse case was an old man 104 being shown on a utuber blog. He was in pain,hungry ,left alone to fend for himself ,with only an older man assistant. How can this be allowed to be shown abroad. Every country as issues,from crime,homelessness ,pot holes,war etc. Yet utuber is using these poverty area to get subscribers to help showing these blog,on poverty. No country likes the outside world to see their poverty. Even those utuber who goes into Jamaica ,in particular area to show crime,fearing of crime,and sadly those who is left alone in squalor,hunger,living in houses that is not fit for purpose. I conclude to the utuber,stop making money from the poor ,or showing Jamaica in ignorant way,from those who is getting rich off Jamaican who is missing their island. Willing to return to be on utuber camera,mostly eating as if food is scarce or only discovered that the island has males that can cook. Dumpling is now a national thing to swallow...especially boil in coconut ,an outside fire ... I daresay ,you are losing a battle to utuber ,patois,vulgarness,greed.

If we could keep out the silly ones for 10 years I'm telling you Jamaica will once again become the jewel of the Caribbean. So many people have been tricked fir so long who knows what will happen. I've seen battered women rescued only to run right back for more. For the first time in my long life I'm seeing where Jamaica might possibly be making a step up. Really good time to be alive.

Amen to that!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Thanks so much 🙏🏾

Why would they be left out? 😮😮😮😮😮😮 what would be the point !!

the residents have to do their part too

These are the same residents who cannot afford the houses that are being built

​@@shaymene8112when you ever see Jamaicans can't afford house that we built for them, that is not true, you want it free ? Thousands of houses have been built and are all sold

Real talk to make our country Better

And the locals needs to set up charities that will help draw in sponsors, to donate and make their own banks/charities so people can donate to help the locals with business loans etc, then they can repeat the cycle and create better opportunities, because relying on the government not cutting it atl.

I understand that a trailer of medical equipment was sent to a hospital and it was not distributed = money wasted

​@@glentonewin7606please ignore this person , these comrades are blind to the development taking place in Jamaica, they watched the JLP destroyed Jamaica for eighteen years, and remain silent, but they find a every fault with this government.

On God

Absolutely!

Keep it public unlike other parts 1000%

Agreed, Bob Marley Beach should be kept public too. I heard its status is currently still in debate.

We need new transit busses, mini vans, bike paths, we need our own snacks, more Jamaican own brands, our own airlines...at least 5, we are Jamaica after all!

@@jennalud4748 well we need Jamaicans that love Jamaica, and ready to invest to do this. So many just want to leave and give up on this gem of an island

I guess no hotels? Thought people wanted investment

Tourist love the island of Jamaica for its clean fresh air, the mountains, clean fresh water, rivers. Mess that up with high buildings and factories to pollute our little ISLAND, that would be a big mistake. Keep China factories out of Jamaica. Please if you care about your people.

Yeah, maybe plenty land but we also need green belts for agriculture too.

@@nexus6741agriculture and unuh nah farm ? Kmt

Exactly realtors are just trying to hype up that's all don't listen to them!!!!

Any thoughts on what that sustainable economic growth driver could be?

Thanks for watching

​@@feonasmith9226​ St. Thomas has an abundance of farm lands and water sources. My family used to grow castor beans in the parish and found the conditions to be favorable. The old GoodYear factory should refurbished to create an manufacturing/packing facility for castor oil production and other value added products like coconut oil, spring water and cannabis products. Additionally there are opportunities in recycling industry where the repurposing of waste materials e.g. tyres to produce alternative energy, membrane and road surface materials. St. Thomas has Bowden Wharfe which can be used as a commercial shipping zone to allow for the docking of cruise ships and marine trade. Sadly the government will not allow these things to happen because it will benefit the people. Jamaican politics is dependent on the poor/poverty because maintains the status quo. You have to follow the money if you want to discover the truth.

They need the taxes to build infrastructure

@@lasvegas9750 Exactly but we are not seeing the infrastructure being built and that's the problem. The road was not paid for by taxes, it's being paid for by the Chinese. In his speech he "says" that the taxes will be used to enhance the roads but how many times have we heard this??

Thanks so much!

Yes! Jamaican indigenous still living there should be included. I didn't hear anyone mention that.

According to a quick web search, the average yearly salary in Jamaica is US$14,591, these folks are talking about millions of us as property prices in this video. This is not for the average Jamaican.

You hold the people of St. Thomas get it? These people have been fighting for this for years. The Prime Minister gets no credit for what he’s doing. It should’ve been done a long time ago.

Thank you so much!

@@Throp you’re welcome!! Also the gala I had mentioned is on May 11th at Cipriani’s on E. 42nd street.

agreed

All over the world and especially so in the USA you don't burden potential investors with higher taxes that will just drive them away. You need to stop thinking that for the poor to get ahead in life you have to take from the wealthy. This is a false doctrine sold and bought by so many. The poor is oftentimes not in their position as a result of the wealthy it's more possible for the poor to get out of poverty as a result of the wealthy. Also investors are not always wealthy people oftentimes these are people who have sacrificed a lot and are also trying to move up as a result of a calculated risk. If idiots destroy the country again they will lose and lots of poor people will just continue to drink and dance. I'm an investor and have employed over 75 people over the past 4 years. Very few have listened to my advice on how to save and move ahead. Almost 80% have been to more entertainment spots than I have been to. I'm not criticizing your comment just hope you will look at things a little differently. The issue with Jamaica has always been the same..we love the poor mantra. However, loving the poor fixes nothing for the poor. We need investors, lots and lots of investors. We also need a large influx of other cultures moving to Jamaica. My number is say another 2 million people. If we get 40,000 new investors living in Jamaica and another energetic 2 million then Singapore watch out! Do you accept that most jamaican young men are not performing in their best interest? Females are beating them hands down while they beg and beg for silly things. That's the issue you should address.

Then go and find the prices within your salary range. It is people like you who remain stagnant in life because you find time to criticize, complain, and be negative than to work toward a goal in life.

Go to Barbados and Trinidad. If you find properties cheaper there then let us know.

For real

Buy what you can afford a lot of people want to put their hat where they can't reach it

@@mdl9096 Exactly .Say that louder

well said

Awesome. Thanks for watching

Up hutch

It still not too late. It's still early days

Thanks so much

Yes, they do mining in St. Thomas.

Crime is overseas, and cost of living is high. Most ppl overseas have 2 to 3 jobs in order to make ends meet.

The Jamaican dollar is not the problem that it was in past years. It has been stable for the longest period in its history. The cost of living is imported. Affected by the wars and Covid. The same thing is happening in other countries. Go to the states and you would be surprised at the price of food now. People need to understand these things to appreciate what they have going for them in Jamaica

I am optimistic about getting crime under control in Jamaica. There is significant investment in human and physical security infrastructure happening. As more people are employed there will be lest people running around doing negative things 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Yea well don't get too happy just yet the trend is China , India buying up land and resources .It's a shame the JA people aren't benefitting from it so far , it's a shame the leaders will sell out the people to fatten their profits . So possibilities for who , yea just look at what's happening to Kingston China taking over , look at the highway the ran thru Negril a few years ago they moved out the market area where Jamaican vendors used to be for a highway and a McDonald's come on people wake up !
