She repeated Form 6 in Hillview and was in my class. Never an indication in that time that she was a devout Muslim then.

Ofc some ppl change. I know men leave school lifelong vegetarians/goody two shoes and essentially a pundit and see them years later in bootleggers smoking, eating meat and drinking.

Angostura manufacturers items considered Haram. She would be paid board fees from obvious Haram sources. Being a member of a well known Muslim organisation seems a bit compromised unless she has renounced her Muslim faith.

Repeat form 6 you say.
She wasn't a smarty pants back then but she on all them state boards now...

Jobs for the boys and girls.

The day the state decide to sell those companies ppl go be out of wuk.

Only in TT a doctor will be on a board of a company selling alcohol. Pretty sure in the developed world that would be frowned upon.

Good for Trinis. They too dunce so take bull.

Mt hope had a 1 year wait because of a backlog back then . Did she repeat to kill time or it was to obtain a scholarship ?

In the days pre dollar for dollar and hundreds of gortt cholarships winning a scholarship was actually a big help for any parent and student

People repeated for the sole purpose of a scholarship even with good grades.

Med school generally had a one year wait for entry as well so might as well.

Like I said.. jobs for the boys and girls. Taxpayers monies minding them and their children but they quick to call cepep and urp workers "handouts". All of these things are glorified make work schemes. Created and perfected by the PNM.

Whilst the world is creating the likes of Musks etc we have idiots like this one who went medical school but doing everything but practicing medicine. Only in Trinidad doctor will have time to serve on boards of companies that are not health focus. Remember the days when medicine was viewed as a profession by itself and doctors didn't try to become Politicians and members of parliament? What is the point of training a doctor if they just gonna turn around and be a politician? Waste of an education.

She is doing her type of medicine actually . Not all medicine is fully clinical . Not all doctors are surgeons . There are a ton of specialties and besides all them boards you all seeing now she otherwise has her role in the health care systems .

When that choice involve taxpayers funds etc then it becomes a problem. Do we spend millions of taxpayers funds to train medical doctors etc who then turn around and neglect the practice of public medicine for personal political ambitions. What value is a highly trained medical doctor in TT if his/her time is also spent doing ministerial duties or parliamentary duties.

In the case of Richards, did she get those roles bases on merit or nepotism. What is the need for her to be on the board of Angostura, a commercial alcohol entity as a trained medical practitioner and muslim woman? Is it that state entities serve no real commercial function other than to provide jobs and opportunity for friends, families and financiers?

Right but is it that she has become an expert in her field where no more training is required? Seems to me that her roles are political and not based on some sort of specialist expertise that she possesses. She is not a world renowned physician similar to a Bartholonew or a Sawh yet she seems to have been given leadership roles in numerous organisations. This may infact be based on who she knows and is aligned to rather than what she knows.

What I am getting at is even at an individual level, doesn't she want to improve her own medical reputation by publishing studies or research etc. Seems to me that people no longer are interested in pushing their professions forward but seeing how their professions can propel them into politics.

I am saying if taxpayers funds are used to train a person in a very specific area then that person should specialize and aim to improve that area. A doctor serves a very specific function in society. One that cannot be easily replaced or reproduced. Why spend millions on medical training only for them to turn around and do everything but medicine.

It is this sort of mentality that now sees us with A Browne as the minister of foreign affairs. Are you telling me that out of 1.4 million people in this country we don't have a single person with the requisite international affiars experience and qualifications to be an effective MOFA. What does a medical doctor know about foreign affairs and diplomacy?

Board fees are not a salary per say, it's a stipend paid that is taxed. Not exhorbitant as some ppl would think.

Not only that but you also get alot of soft power. You can influence who gets hired and what contract gets approved etc. A simple search at most state companies and you will find friends and family of the government working there and companies connected to government officials via friends and families conducting business with state enterprises.

Exactly. These board positions are not just about salary and perks. Is for the parties to have direct access and control to company resources. When it have ppl who sitting on multiple boards that is just an indication of that person's willingness to be at the beck and call of the party hierarchy. The more boards a person on is the more the party "trust" them.

To put it simply, Maryam GT. I'm acquainted with her a bit, she looked basic back in the day and the makeup is overkill but she's got brains and had family support. One of her family members was a Doctor and politically connected *hint hint*. She was already set, so once she got married her life trajectory changed for the positive and to another level.

Some might say she's an overachiever. She went SAGS, got a national schol, became a Doc in Obstetrics, and further graduated with two Masters. She worked in the public health care system and the IDB. She married into the Richards family along the way who is also politically connected *hint hint*. Whether she married for love or upward mobility or both, she made the right move. She has brains and now herself politically connected so yes, she's not no ordinary public official and probably a superstar. Now whether she can practically do the work is another question and it seems that she can. While many knows deep down she can get into positions like state boards with her political connections, she will always have her credentials to back her up and easily claim merit.

Maryam is simply taking advantage of an issue which has plagued us for decades with persons being part of multiple state boards. She's not the first and would not be the last. Hell, if we got the opportunity to be on multiple state boards meaning multiple checks at the end of the month, we would take it. She has the resume and experience to back it up, well at least when it comes to ERHA and NIPDEC. TTBS and Angostura is a bit of an eye opener but you can't really stop that.
