The Caribbean media community is mourning the loss of one of its most respected voices, veteran regional journalist Rickey Singh, who passed away on Saturday in Barbados.
Born in Guyana, Singh began his career as a general reporter before swiftly rising through the ranks to become a Senior Political Reporter at the Guiana Graphic, the predecessor of the Guyana Chronicle. His work would go on to span decades, countries, and some of the most defining political moments in Caribbean history.
Singh’s journalistic journey was marked by courage, tenacity, and a flair for uncovering the untold. His career was punctuated with dramatic and often perilous moments — from narrowly escaping a lynching while on assignment in Buxton, to surviving an encounter with a notorious ‘Death Squad’ in Georgetown’s Botanical Gardens, and even a near-fatal poisoning incident at work.
