Nod from Singapore

Dhaka has much to learn from Singapore, specially in the fields of port and dock management, development and discipline of chambers of commerce and industries, municipal technology, industrial QC, assembly of hi-tech components. Since Singapore enjoys a high standard of living, this is the right time to ponder on transfer of some of the factories to Bangladesh, to produce more quality goods at cheaper costs.

It is nice to see Singapore taking interest in business ventures in Asiaa positive shift from the earlier vision focussed on business from the West. The Saarc region has huge untapped business potential, and these have not been fully explored by the local and foreign entrepreneurs. The local political itch has to be shifted to the background, for more visible economic activities, anchored on labour-oriented ventures, as there is no shortage of human resources, (and of energy and water). Some 130 million of us can easily accommodate 3m friendly Singaporeans!

Welcome, Singapore! Perhaps we weed you more than you need us! No objection to make it 50:50.
