Sir. The banking sector, already reeling under the loan defaulters' elusive submerging techniques, has now attracted gun-toting mastaans at directors' meeting.
Earlier, for several years, the nascent stock exchange institution (we cannot handle money) had been brought to it knees (due to know forces); it is still unable to stand upright, or even walk, with or without invalid-aid. We are the proud carriers of the sick and the ailing sectors (including the Bangladesh Biman). The CBAs have become corny bullish associations, tickling others the wrong way.
Lately the grabbers of land and water bodies (running and still) have been in the news. The electricity is still blinking, and the ports of entry have become depots of resistance. The power sector is subject to heavy power loss, topped by the political sector, which reigns supreme in the art of nondoing.
The secretariat staff are licking their wounds (not inflicted by the foreign dogs), and a second. mancha may be in the offing (for balancing). In the recent HSC exam results, one-half failed, although full salaries were paid to the academic guardians. We were exporting fertiliser, but now we are importing it. What's wrong with the natural flow of things and events?
Transhipment, transit and corridor are in the news. How about a demo test before deciding (computer simulation)? The expert winner of this demo competition may be awarded a prize of 0.0001 per cent of the gross annual income for one year earned by Bangladesh (estimated to be around Tk 2,000 crore, mind you). What to award if it was decided after the demo to postpone the transit issue? The public sector health service is neither healthy and public nor curative, according to press reports. There is one area of containment: curb the baksheesh culture. The toll collectors are above any culture; and all collectors do not pay VAT. Perhaps value is not added. Does not matter; we specialize in liabilities, regardless of premium. Perhaps our economy is based on democratic socialism. judging by the way we nurse the SOEs.
