Letters to Editor
Picture
Paradigm shift in Latin America?
Though personally I don't believe in reincarnation or metempsychosis, it seems Late Saddam Hussein has started speaking out through the vocal cord of President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

Voters' ID & EC
I have been told that an expert is a person who knows more and more about less and less while a layman knows less and less about more and more subjects.
 
Communicative teaching
English deserves a special place as a language because of its global importance. There is no doubt that the communicative teaching approach is very effective for language learning.
 
Deaths at RMCH
I am absolutely appalled as to how the medical interns could deny care to the sick and dying patients at the RMCH. They have violated the Hippocratic Oath their actions were inhuman and unethical.
 
Road link with Myanmar
Bangladesh and Myanmar have agreed to establish road communication. This is an important development and the plan should be implemented immediately.
 
Letter from US Senators
Your editorial on 18 May characterises the tone of the US Senators' letter as unfortunate and unacceptable.
 
27th BCS
First of all, we congratulate the caretaker government for taking the bold steps against all forms of corruption. Hopefully, they will be able to wipe out the roots of corruption for good.
 
Democracy and discipline
I remember while going through a paper published from Hong Kong 20 + years back I came to know that a visiting statesman from Singapore was requested to comment on the democracy established by the president
 
Press freedom
Press freedom is the precondition for democracy. Democracy depends on the collective wishes of the people.
 
Bac and ACC
I had an opportunity to work at the Bureau of Anti-Corruption as an officer for about two years. I have retired from government service. As I worked for Bac, I came to now about its officials.
 
Business leaders
There are so many leaders of FBCCI and other chambers who have cases of bank loan default against them.
 
Black money
Before going deep into the matter, I think it will be better if I try to explain what back money is and how it is made.
 
Khaleda Zia
Khaleda Zia has forgiven all BNP leaders. When I heard this news some questions sprung up in my mind.
 
Dr. Yunus' decision
It is good news that Dr. Yunus has finally understood that politics is not his cup of tea. He can perform much better in the economic field.
 
Irregularities in health ministry
Readers' attention has been drawn to a news item on ' Corruption, irregularities and indiscipline' in the Health Ministry, published in a Bangla daily.
 
Corruption
The government is trying to do a lot of things to get rid of corruption.
 
New society emerging
Old Golden Bengal [now Bangladesh] is getting back its humour. The previous phase, 1971-2006 has ended. This type of regeneration [or reincarnation] is not new.
 
Thanks, Dr. Yunus
I am very happy to learn about Dr Yunus' decision of withdrawing from politics. That is undoubtedly a profound and pragmatic decision.
 
Maintain the status of Dhanmondi
Dhanmondi was developed as a posh residential area in the fifties mostly for the senior government servants and high level professionals. Since then it continued as a serene residential area.
 
Investors' conference
Investment, both from domestic and external sources, is the engine of accelerated pace of industrialisation.
 
Honesty
We have seen that the rich and educated people have the tendency of falling into the trap of corruption in Bangladesh.
 
Scarcity of drinking water
A huge quantity of water is available on our planet, almost 1500 million cubic cms, but most of it is useless for us as it contains too much of salt.
