Dear Alochoks
It will not be our time for a few years yet as it is obvious from
the behaviour of both AL and BNP that the need for reform, by any
definition, is not understood by them.
We can cover up our emasculated body with stupid bravado - our
politicians do it well. We take such pride in our garments and
labour sectors - both flourishing on wages unacceptable elsewhere.
Sure these successes are worthy enough but our leaders make it sound
like we're just behind Vietnam!
Discipline of some sort is needed - in every discipline. As long as
we have politicans who understand only chaos and who cannot lead by
example we are set to fail.
Don't worry - maybe we can export a 100,000 of our citizens to
Vietnam to work as unskilled labour. It would be another grand
success for us. It would also make our precious manpower agents and
their MP business partners richer thereby further strengthening
democracy, Bangladeshi style.

projects with total registered capital of nearly 44.5 billion U.S.
dollars, rising 546 percent in capital against the same period last
year, and equating to the combined foreign direct investment (FDI)
lured from 1988 to 2006, local newspaper Investment reported on
Monday.
> Among the fresh FDI, over 51.3 percent are poured into service,
and 48.2 percent into industry, including a steel project worth
nearly 7.9 billion dollars, and an oil refinery project valued at
6.2 billion dollars, the newspaper quoted statistics from the
country's Ministry of Investment and Planning as reporting.
> Among the 654 projects, 27 have registered capital of at least 100
million dollars each, and eight have registered capital of one
billion dollars each upward. A large number of projects are invested
by multinational companies based in China's Taiwan, Japan, the
United States, Canada, Singapore, Brunei, South Korea, Kuwait and
the Netherlands. Since the beginning of this year, 188 operational
foreign- invested projects in Vietnam have raised their capital by a
total of 788.6 million dollars, posting respective year-on-year
declines of 31.4 percent and 44.5 percent, local newspaper Vietnam
Economic Times reported today.
> Vietnam has also posted realized capital of foreign-invested
projects totaling six billion dollars since the beginning of this
year, up 42.9 percent against the same period last year.
> The ministry is, in coordination with relevant ministries, sectors
and localities nationwide, facilitating the disbursement of licensed
foreign-invested projects, mainly by simplifying administrative
procedures and speeding up site clearance, said Vietnam Economic
Times.
