I am sure it did not go unnoticed by those who are keen on noticing what is going around their birthplace.
Joy came silently (remember his 10 kilometer long flower throwing well wishers lined up during her last visit) stayed for weeks, had discussions with whom ever he had planned for (perhaps helped awarding the wi-max contract) all kept so secret exept only few what could not have been kept outside the public eye.
Media, have you really lost your interest in him or it is something else? can anyone eleborate.
Even the dubious wi-max contract (according to bdnews24's article) was not reported in the main media as it should be the gate way event to the digital Bangladesh.

Does anyone know how much wealth Joy has so far amassed? Does anyone question how he amassed the wealth and developed the businesses he has in the United States? Did any media dig into how much he was paid by the poor Government of Bangladesh directly or secretly during the 1996-2001 regime in his position as the Advisor to the then Prime Minister? Does anyone question whether there is any conflict of interest involved in Joy's being Advisor to his mother Prime Minister???? Would we ever question how much he would be paid during this term in his same position as the Advisor to his mother Prime Minister? Would our conscience ever jerk us to say this is a sham position involving serious conflict of interest and corrupt practices to make him wealthier if not wealthiest from wealthy? - W
