Holiday issue
Adnan Siddiky Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Referring to the "Holiday issue" by MZ Islam, I and other forward thinking people totally disagree with you. If you and Mr. Azad Miah think that the world goes around the whims and wishes of Bangladesh's Friday holiday, you are sadly mistaken!Bangladesh has Thursday half and Friday full weekend. Do that math and find out that we are cut off from the rest of the world for HALF THE WEEK!!! FAX, Internet, SMS, SATCOM and Video Conferencing, communication and connectivity can certainly make it easier but do not solve the big problem. One must also remember that the Middle East countries that we try to emulate so much have oil; so they can afford to keep their countries closed any day they wish to, we cannot. Friday holiday does not make a person religious, Faith does!!
