Mahathir's visit: BMCCI clarification
Our attention has been drawn to the editorial "Mahathir's visit was eventful" ( 20 December, 2004 ) in your newspaper. In the first line of the second paragraph of the editorial it was mentioned that "the purpose of Mahathir's visit was primarily to accept an honorary degree of law from the University of Dhaka." But it is not correct.
The truth is that the purpose of Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's visit to Dhaka was to attend the First Bangladesh-Malaysia Business Forum 2004 to deliver the keynote speech on "Malaysia 2020-From Vision to Reality" at the invitation of the Bangladesh-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
