Minister Plenipotentiary of the Netherlands Antilles in The Hague, Holland. His journey through the realms of the Antillean Government and interaction with officials and politicians, generally of Curaçao origin, brought to light, underlying racial, arrogant and superiority tendencies, towards foreign investors, persons from other Islands, and even amongst themselves.
