Bangladeshi student represents foreign students in Malaysia

Tahiya is doing her masters in pharmacology and toxicology at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)

Tahiya Islam, a Bangladeshi student at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), has been appointed as representative of international students at the university.

Tahiya is doing her masters in pharmacology and toxicology at the institution.

On Friday, she delivered a speech on the topic “We love UPM” at the Annual Vice Chancellor’s Speech Program while representing international students at the university.

Tahiya said: “I am very pleased and grateful to have this prestigious and honourable opportunity.”

After narrowly coming second to a Malaysian at an impromptu speech competition arranged by students of UPM on 14 February, Tahiya received an opportunity to give a speech at the prominent event. This gave her the opportunity to speak at an event with Vice Chancellor Prof Datin Paduka Dr Aini Ideris as the chief guest.

For the prestigious event, Tahiya wore a red and green saree to highlight Bangladesh’s culture as well as the colours of its flag.



According to the Quacquarelli Symonds’ World Ranking, Universiti Putra Malaysia stands at 229th on the list of worldwide universities while ranking 36th in Asia.

Tahiya herself is an alumna of East West University (EWU) of Bangladesh, having completed her graduation from the Department of Pharmacy. She received a Fulbright Scholarship and began her master’s course at UPM in September 2017.

At UPM, Tahiya is a member of the Toastmasters Club and won the best table topic speaker award there. She will be representing UPM at the district level public speaking competition of Toastmasters in March.

A prodigious student, she is also the Head of Media and Publication of the AIM Initiative in Bangladesh – a voluntary organization that provides free education and healthcare to underprivileged children in Bangladesh.

And just because my username happens to be similar of bdmilitary admin, he probably thought I am the BDmilitary admin.

Honestly vai i thought the same.

But I have to say, this situation is hilarious.

Come on, Khan is the 4'th most common Surname in the world. ধরেন বাজার করার সময় কারো সাথে আপনার ধাক্কা লাগলো। অন্তত ২৫ ভাগ চান্স আছে ওই লোকের বংশের নামও খান। আমিতো আগে খুবই আতংকে থাকতাম। লোল।

Good thing is we dropped a spot. Bad thing is, even though population grew at lower rate than PK and NG between 1980 to 2018, it affects BD the most since it has the least amount of land. PK still has much lower density than most Western European countries. Although, I am guessing not all of PK's land is as usable as is BD's. Also the fact that BD already reached replacement level and population will soon in a few years stabilise. While PK and NG has one of the highest population growth.

Other reports including census shows, Bangladesh population was 90 million in 1981.

Perhaps. Bangladesh is also 30 million behind the 2nd one. Which illustrates just how much difference there is in contrasts to PK and NG. We are far past the point of population explosion and entirely focused on social and economic improvements.

Comics for all ages

Before the time of video games and internet, foreign comic books used to take children along a pictorial journey with their favourite characters. The art of comics is gradually flourishing in the country as well. A child delves into a comic book at a stall yesterday in the capital's Suhrawardi Udyan. Photo: Prabir Das

There was a time when comic books were perceived as children's entertainment only. With the passage of time, the old notion has started changing.

Through the combination of words and pictures, comics serve as an artistic medium to engage the readers. Now comic books are considered a form of art that is enjoyed by people of all ages -- not limited to children any longer.

With that in mind, several publishers have been publishing comic books and those books have been attracting bookworms at their stalls in the Amar Ekushey Granthamela this year.

Children, teenagers and adults alike were buying those books with much enthusiasm, as they consider this form of literature no less entertaining than the mainstream literature.

Though there are stalls selling comic books with an exclusive focus on the juvenile age group, some others have come up with comics targeted for people of all ages.


Dhaka Comics is one of the few publishers that are selling comic books catering to the need of people of different ages.

Founded in 2013 by Mehedi Haque, the publisher aims to give preference to local culture in their works.

Their popular comics include Zoom, Durjoy, Rishad, Rohan Rohan, Mrittu Pathar and Dinyed.

“People used to think that comics are for children only. But comics have a universal appeal. For instance, a graphic novel can tell the story of a novel through cartoons, making it comprehensible for all,” said Tanjim-Ul-Isalm, the writer of “Ibrahim” and “Solemani Angti” comics of Dhaka Comics.

Last year, the publication brought out "Pancha Romancha" by Qazi Anwar Hossain. It was a great success, said Tanjim, adding, “Even adults bought the graphic novel from our stall then…”

The publication rates their comic books using the letters “T”, “M” and “E”. Books rated “T” are for teenage audience while “M” for matured and “E” for everyone.

“Their comics are attractive. And stories are adventurous,” said Prodorshee, an eighth grader at Viqarunnisa Noon School and College. She was visiting the stall with her mother.

Prodorshee's mother, Dr Taniya, also could not restrain herself from joining the discussion. She said, “During my teenage years, we could only find Unmad to read."

"Things have changed. My daughter has many options now," said Dr Taniya, indicating the variety of comic books available at the book fair.

However, comic fans said the number of comic books in the fair is not sufficient. They however appreciated the fact that at least a few publication houses were bringing out new comics and graphic novels.

“When I was in school, I used to read comics, which were mostly from abroad. Now a few [local] publishers are trying to publish comics incorporating our own culture,” said Tahmid Hossain, a student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.

Popular cartoonist Ahsan Habib, editor of “Unmad” magazine, a pioneer in the genre, said, “Comics are not always for children. Anyone can read those if those are created considering their age. Now the scenario is changing with initiatives of different young graphic novelists who are explaining a story through cartoons for everyone.”

Mentioning that a wind of change has started to blow, he said, “Different publications now demand graphic novels from me.”

Progoti Publishers has brought out a celluloid graphic novel titled “Kasahara” by Ahsan Habib this year. The cartoonist said the book is for everyone.

Another publisher, Panjeri, is selling graphic novels on Charles Dickens and popular comedy series “Basic Ali” by Sharier Khan.

Unmad stall on Bangla Academy premises was seen drawing a large crowd of comic fans yesterday. Apart from that, the fourth edition of a graphic novel series on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman titled “Mujib-4”, was available at the fair along with its previous editions.

A comic series named "Chhoto Kaka Babu" by Faridur Reza Sagar is available at the stall of Sapta Dinga. The series is also rated for all ages.

DAILY STAR BOOKS
Yesterday, popular Bangladeshi stand-up comedian and columnist Naveed Mahbub visited Daily Star Books stall.

People were seen buying his book "Humorously Yours and Counting", published by Daily Star Books.

The book is a compilation of his columns, which he wrote for The Daily Star newspaper.

কক্সবাজারের টেকনাফে মিয়ানমার সীমান্তরক্ষী বাহিনী বিজিপির চার সদস্যকে অস্ত্রসহ আটকের পর পতাকা বৈঠকের মাধ্যমে হস্তান্তর করেছে বিজিবি।


টেকনাফ উপজেলা নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা (ইউএনও) জাহিদ হোসেন সিদ্দিকী বলেন, সোমবার উপজেলার হোয়াইক্যং ইউনিয়নের উনচিপ্রাং সীমান্তে নাফ নদীর বাংলাদেশ সীমান্ত থেকে তাদের আটক করা হয়।

“সন্ধ্যায় বাংলাদেশের উনচিপ্রাংয়ে বিজিবি ও বিজিপির পতাকা বৈঠকের মাধ্যমে তাদের হস্তান্তর করা হয়।”

ইউএনও বিজিবির বরাতে বলেন, মিয়ানমারের তা চোং ক্যাম্পের বিজিপি কমান্ডার লেফটেন্যান্ট সো ওয়ে-সহ সাদা পোশাকের অস্ত্রধারী চার সদস্য নাফ নদীর শূন্যরেখা অতিক্রম করে বাংলাদেশ সীমান্তে ঢুকে পড়েন।

“বিজিবির টহল দল তাদের আটক করে। তাদের বিজিবির উনচিপ্রাং ফাঁড়িতে নিয়ে আসা হয়। বিষয়টি সঙ্গে সঙ্গে বিজিবির ঊর্ধ্বতন কর্তৃপক্ষকে জানানো হয়।”

ঊর্ধ্বতন কর্তৃপক্ষের অনুমতিতে পতাকা বৈঠকের মাধ্যমে তাদের হস্তান্তর করা হয় বলে জানান ইউএনও জাহিদ হোসেন সিদ্দিকী।

I think BGB forgot about what was happened with Nayek Abdur Razzak the BGB soldier by Monkey BGP.

Honestly friends, these news reports are too serious for a chill thread. You could have visited the South Asia section and post them in the News from Bangladesh Thread, which is more appropriate for them. Or for more important newses, open a new thread. Or if you want this particular news in this particular thread, then just post the headlines and links. members will visit. No point in forcing others to scroll through long posts and force them to read something isn't very appealing.

BD members really should take more detour and visit our Sticky threads in South Asia section. Our sticky threads in that section is dead from lack of posts and visitors, and here we are posting literally everything & anything, attracting scumbag trolls in flock. Really sad situation.

Just take a step outside the comfortzone, use a little extra bit of your bandwidth to post in right places and sensibly, your stay in the forum will be much more pleasant, I promise.

We had this same discussion with @BanglarBir before. Guy won't stop posting long news reports, driven everyone crazy within weeks.

I again beg your pardon for my intrusions, but please, Please, Please, I beg you to keep this thread light and only for socialising. Regards.

I thought what Ashes and i posted isn't serious thing to share here.

But there is a appropriate thread for them as I mentioned!
Look brother, this is more about posting accordingly. We Don't need to post everything in this subforum when there is more threads to run and keep up to date. Like @Bilal9 is single handedly running four thread in General Multimedia Section. Why? Just because this gives our posts more exposure. Now imagine how it would be if he start to ppst all of those posts in this subforum.

Good. Now Eff yourself with it.

Imo he’s pissed about the members who support Pakistan’s misdeeds and members like idunes. Where is that guy anyways. XD

2.Don't have clue dude. Rumor on the street is he got locked up with BNP leaders on that Corruption Case. Incidentally he vanished in the air at the same day of the verdict. LOL.

Anyway welcome back.

Cheers.
