ATN television and the Bangladesh Govt Officials

Its strange that Munir Hasan and Anir Chowdhury (Young Nite) is on ATN hosting their own shows.

I only wonder how can a person with serious Government responsibilities offer TV shows which they anchor ? I understand these TV Shows ( 1 hr shows) are all full-time responsibilities if someone is serious about it!

How are they performing on their Govt Jobs ?

Here is Munir Hasan’s email footer from early october 2011:

> Munir Hasan
> Consultant, Ministry of Science and ICT,
> Government of Bangladesh.
> General Secretary, Bangladesh Open Source Network
> General Secretary, Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad Committee
> Blog : http://www.somewhereinblog.net/blog/munirhasan

I doubt if any of these roles  gets enough attention to be effective.

Dumping 5000 Crore ($714.28 MM) Taka into DSE by Bangladesh Government

Bangladesh is a developing country. Stock Market was recently sabotaged by Influential ( political ties) & Corrupt (S.E.C. Personnel) Political Leaders and Securities Product Handlers ( RACE: Asset management Company headed by Dr. Hasan Imam among others) . The Stock Exchange (DSE) lost ~50% of its points. And now with the leadership of Finance Minister M.A Muhit, Govt is pouring in 5000 Crore ($714.2 MM) Taka into DSE without sighting how they plan to recover the money in the long run. This Madness is called “Bangladesh Fund”… fund managed by Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB).

From Financial Express of May 5th:

“The ICB is the sponsor of the fund and other seven state-owned enterprises are the joint sponsors. The joint sponsors are: Sonali Bank, Janata Bank, Agrani Bank, Rupali Bank, Bangladesh Development Bank, Sadharan Bima Corporation and Jibon Bima Corporation.

The ICB has contributed Tk 5 billion to the fund and the joint sponsors are supposed to contribute Tk 10 billion in total.

The source said, meanwhile, the fund manager of Bangladesh Fund has designed a guideline to invest its fund. As per the guideline, the fund manager will purchase the shares of the companies whose price earning (P/E) ratios are not above 20. The fund, however, would invest in stocks of banks and leasing companies having P/E ratios up to 10 and 15 respectively. “

Technical Session arranged by BASIS SOFTEXPO-2011

Very ill organized and very poor when it comes to content depth.
Its the 3rd of Feb, the “Web Security” content was very primary.
I dont understand how it was to run into a 2hr presentation with QA.
Presenters names are not announced until the time of presentation
Most presenters backgrounds are not disclosed ahead of time.

Fakhrul Islam Securities Incompetent Liars !

Fakhrul Islam Securities ( http://www.fisbd.com/) offers Online Market Order which seems to be a great joke. My OMO account details was sent by FOKKA Fakhrul Islam Securities on the Nov 23rd…. and today Dec 6th, I still get “Your account is inactive now.”

Mid last week I called them and they said because of Eid ( Nov 17th) they have lot of back-logs and it will take 3 days to enaable my OMO service. Liars !!!!

Incompetent Liars !!  They cant even enable my account…. let alone keep it up & running.

FOKKA seems to use the following portal for OMO enablement :

I will call them again today to get whats-the-excuse-now , and post it here.

এইডস দিবস…..অনুভুত হোচ্ছে…Dhaka..Bangladesh

Thanks for the 9AM AIDS Day RALLY. They screwed up all-day-traffic for Dhaka.
The Guys who organized this : Bunch of Jackasses.

And Kudos to the following BLOG sites from BANGLADESH who could not post my blog because it had “Jackass” in it. Those Mods are just idiots.

What are they thinking …..Meena Bazaar !!

Each Meena Bazaar stealing ~43,000 taka from their customers per year!!!!

It was around 6PM, I was at the Dhanmondi-27th Meena Baazar, the register boy handed out the receipt and change … I looked … total bill 172.60… I gave him 200… the change was 27 even! I asked wheres the .40 ? The guy at the register said “…we do not give out change if it is less than .50″.

I was waiting for my ride to pull up, and was counting how many customers they serve every 15 minutes. From 6:16 PM to 6:31 PM ..I watched each isle serving around 4 customers….. 3 isles total so its 12 per 15 minutes …..48 per hour …..operates from 10 AM to 8 PM …..10 Hours serves 480 customers..say half of them don’t dont see the less-than-.50 change ….so its about 240 customers x .50 = 120 Taka per day for the Dhanmondi 27th Meena Bazzar only.

120 * 365 days = 43,600 Taka per Meena Baazar
Tax free money with Zero cost!
Keep robbing Meena Baazar !!!!!

ps: anybody watched office-space ??

7/6/2010

I just realized that my debt to my country is to do good in pushing it towards development.
Felt terrible for US Teens who have been victimized by the US Army of their financial status ( most of the time)  to engage in killings as their debt to their nation.

Telecoms plan unveiled

For Gods sake, the prime challenge in implementing Digital Technology in BD is ” AWARENESS” . Buying/giving away laptops or creatin network is useless without users. ……giving pearls to monkeys. and why physical conductors ? o create rich linemans ? think wireless Gandu. Thigh throughput and Zero lineman dependency. -ML
