  • From René Caderius van Veen on Get a free bottle and electric tap from Saba Splash !

    Almost everybody has a cistern, so who on Saba will need this?

    • From Anise on Get a free bottle and electric tap from Saba Splash !

      Many people don’t drink water from their cisterns for many reasons. I’m one of those people. I’ve been sick before drinking cistern water, you never know if the cistern needs to be cleaned and what bacteria is in it. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of people that drink it and are fine. This is just a better resource than spending $$$ on bottled water, and its made here on Saba and is creating jobs.

  • From Ryan Espersen on Will Johnson loses his bid for AOV equal to Dutch pension

    How many Dutch-born, Dutch-raised people have gone to retire in the BES islands and live on their European Dutch pension?
    How many BES islanders have gone to the Netherlands to retire and live on their Antillean pension?
    How many BES islanders currently earn a living wage on their Antillean pension in either place?
    We all know the answer, and the ruling ignores the reality on the ground.

    • From Kees Jansen on Will Johnson loses his bid for AOV equal to Dutch pension

      The current situation is clear. Every person, whether of Caribbean or European origin gets a Dutch AOW pension related to the number of years that he/she lived in the European Netherlands. Someone born in the European Netherlands but did not live there is not entitled to a Dutch AOW pension.

      Neither have persons who never lived on the Caribbean islands any rights on an AOV retirement pension.

      This rule applies to all persons, independent to where they retire. It is obvious why Will did not stand a chance.

      • From Ryan Espersen on Will Johnson loses his bid for AOV equal to Dutch pension

        All residents are equal, some are just more equal than others, right?

  • From Henri René Caderius van Veen on Will Johnson loses his bid for AOV equal to Dutch pension

    What a stupid initiative only based on greed.
    As if the costs of living in the Netherlands are not much, much higher than on the BES-islands.

    From Daniël Touw on Parking policy promoted, drivers receive blue disk

    Ditto, should also apply in the Bottom.
    Parking facilities at houses or garages are not used for parking the cars i.e. parking on the street or with someone else in front of the door.
    Even narrow streets are not accessible for two-way traffic in this way.
    Kind regards
