Ex-minister takes heat over video lecture

FORMER health minister Therese Baptiste-Cornelis, now the country's ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, has been slammed on social media networking site Facebook and BlackBerry Messenger, following a lecture on cultural diplomacy she presented in Geneva in June.

The video, which shows Baptiste-Cornelis's speech, was uploaded to YouTube on June 28 and began spreading to Facebook over the past two days.

The Sunday Express viewed the video presentation, and although Baptiste-Cornelis addresses the subject of cultural diplomacy, throughout her 30-minute presentation, she also spoke at length about her stint as health minister, how she got the job as health minister and about how she met her husband on the Internet as well.

About her one-year stint as minister of health, she said, "I caused chaos. I told doctors they were making mistakes. They hated the fact that I pointed out they were making mistakes. They pleaded for me to get out, so I agreed with them in that plea, so I gave them even more stress so that they would plea louder, and then I was replaced by the MP (Dr Fuad Khan) who I was the campaign manager for in the elections. He's a doctor so he took over."

She did not receive many "likes" on Facebook for her presentation, which was described as rambling and embarrassing.

Some of the comments included:

"Have you ever seen a diplomat carry themselves with such lack of professionalism, diplomacy is all about how you appear to the outside world, how you represent your country. I am upset because the way she behaved does not represent the Trinidad and Tobago I know, the Trinidad and Tobago I'm working to help build. This is a disgrace, and I'm happy that people can recognise that. Accountability. That's the order of the day."

Another comment: "This is what happens when people just get appointed to diplomatic positions simply as a means of getting rid of them from active politics...."

Other viewers were a bit more understanding.

One wrote, "Forget being an ambassador and all that... As an educated female, she was disappointing to listen to. She clearly forgot what it takes to deliver a successful speech! She had the structure but lacked in delivery.... She had too much of her personal baggage in there.

The Sunday Express yesterday attempted to get a comment about the video, which has almost 3,000 views so far, but Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Suruj Rambachan could not be immediately reached last night.

And we remain third world!!!!

She proved that the government is merely repaying individuals by giving them positions in high offices who are not qualified for their post....

And Also how some of those officers are not even interested in their job!!!

Sad sad sad

At least the world know her sister is fertile and we don't have laws like china!!.

Her brother's marriage may not even be legal( as Muslims are suppose to marry Muslims in order to be legal)

Maybe she should work on changing that for multiculturalism!!!!

But for her next speech we will all look forwArd to learning about Facebook timeline"

Kamla needs to recommend a costatt course for this woman on public speaking and the correct use of grammar!!

[DFC]

This woman is an embarrassment and she brought shame to Trini's.

Did she say it wasn't legal or you saying it's not legal?

[Mizaf]

I am saying that a society that is trying to be multi cultural. The Muslim marriage act states that both parties need to be Muslim in order for the marriage to be legal. I don't know under what's rights the brother married. If it was Muslim it definitely not legal.

yu think if a muslim marrying a non-muslim they will do it under muslim rights?

I wondering the same thing. My neighbour is a muslim, married to a catholic and have 4 children brought up as christains. Both parents practice their seperate religions. Though their individual religious bodies may not accept/recognise the marriage it, I cant imagine it being illegal.

[whyteliver]

huuuuh...is this bitsh crazy?????

[Hook]

My Aunt and I were just ole talking about her use of Trinbagonian terms and idioms ("liming" etc.) that would require explanation/translation for a non-national.
Could you imagine the pandemonium that would erupt if everybody did that? It would be like the Tower of Babel all over again.
