  1. Singapore and Jamaica both owned by the British until the early 1960s , 1 county is overpopulated , 1 is not.

    1 country is rocky place with no natural resources and yet a flourishing modern country while the other has the ideal conditions for growing crops , 1 county has the murder rate nearly 600 times higher then the other .

    In black history month , it is never mentioned how Jamaica was once a far safer place until 1962 under british rule.

  2. American love Jamaica so much that we hosted thousands of Americans even sleeping on our floors every year the American guns are here but by the grace of God we moving forward from crime now we are intelligent people 10% of our tourists are local leaders hate us tourists love us good enough by…

  3. The Bahama Islands the worst nightmare lots of mango trees we had to replant all the way to expand it to the river system all the way to bring clay and see and all the dirt in and bring more trees more trees than ever from hurricanes left a police chief and his son there second go for the Haiti to Bahamas to Cuba to Puerto Rico him and his son and his wife hope they're doing okay since the second golf war in Haiti CB Paul Taylor lieutenant first tugboat captain and observation pilot taking pictures of power lines solar power and wind power we had to reintroduce too hard to bring back power lines over the water the only solution we have with solar powers and wind power other than that with steam power but the Bahama government didn't want it so we solar power the electricity I have all the way to crabs we had to reintroduce some fish tilapia with a air flight in all the way to crawfish and shrimp and we had to build a spring and a river system with a bridge over it and use it as landfill bulldoze everything to see and replant mangrove trees and pine trees oh another tree we planted was prune juice prunes planted a lot of prune trees hope the police chief and his son's okay and his wife and daughter some I'm sorry what happened to his son we'll talk later pows and mias I left behind since the second Gulf war come fly with me on American airlines last flight out to Chicago Illinois to put kids up for adoption from Haiti no comment got to testify against the Green River killer MPS deposition cancer is negative media family only girlfriends so I'm going to say

  4. America take too long to declare this.Now let Holness and his wutless minister of national insecurity get something to worry about now because those two wutless illiterates couldn't care less about the loss of black lives in Jamaica.Is time for Andrew to take a break from being a PM.Imagine I was one who said that Ja needed to give a young man a break.It went to his head.May Jah continue to watch over Ja,the Land of Wud An' Water,and nuff ganja trees.

  5. I’m from the Bahamas but live in U S , the news people like to say it like it is , the Bahamas is big that’s Nassau, with a lot of crime , tourists needs to know there are other islands to travel to like Abaco are other outer islands which are very safe and the people are friendliest

  6. This, in addiction to swindlers price gouging medical tourists purchasing folk treatments (that have been proven effective by British university studies)for depression, single people given the worst (noisiest rooms), no functioning water fountain in the Montego Bay Airport from one terminal to the bus area, where toxic cancer causing diesel exhaust just hangs in the air with no industrial fan to turn it away, or no will to just turn off the shuttle buses while they are not being driven, 4 dollar US bottled water at the airport exit, no prices listed at some restaurants and unreliable, and massages that cost many times what they cost in Mexico (7 dollars), and the apathetic, blase attitude of many Jamaicans working with tourists which was not the case 30 years ago, I would say makes Jamaica is a tourism disaster in need of radical change. The Jamaican government is ignoring problems.

  7. Jamaica and Bahamas is safer than some cities in the US right now. Don’t hear of them having any mass shooting in malls and churches. It's evident that these
    Caribbean islands have been profiting significantly from tourism, So they are just using this as an excuse, to keep that revenue within. It’s simply as that.
