Chill Bangladesh Thread

[Michael Corleone]

Well it depends on demand. They keep First class around for Govt. officials like MP's or Ministers in any case. As you can see above, there are 24 first class seats on the 787-8 versions.

National airlines mostly have first class seats. Private airlines (especially low cost carriers like Air Asia and Southwest in US) sometimes get rid of them.

It’s senseless to keep them when an airline is facing loss, Chetona public should adjust this

100 Korean businesses want to move from Myanmar to Bangladesh: BEZA


Published: 05 Nov 2019 01:20 AM BdST Updated: 05 Nov 2019 01:20 AM

As many as 100 South Korean firms want to relocate their businesses to Bangladesh from Myanmar due to a lack of 'suitable environment' for industries in that country, according to the Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority or BEZA.

The firms identified Bangladesh as an alternative destination in light of Myanmar's infrastructural backwardness, including shortages of power and water supplies, among other problems, BEZA said in a statement on Monday.

South Korean investors are keen on investing in Bangladesh's economic zones, according to BEZA. The Korea Industrial Complex Co Ltd (KIC) is also interested in developing an industrial park in Bangladesh which will house 100 firms from the East Asian country.

KIC began work on two industrial parks in Myanmar's Bago and Mon states in 2013 but problems with infrastructure, electricity and water supplies prompted the Korean companies to consider uprooting.

KIC has accordingly drawn up plans to build an industrial complex in Bangladesh and selected 100 companies that will be allocated spaces there.

They are lining up an initial $500 million investment and have asked for 400 acres of land to establish factories to manufacture textiles, leather and jewelry products, BEZA said.

Exciting ! Bangladeshi Single-person-shooter.

Superb filming angles and storyboards...

All we need is some Bengali cuss-words is old Dhaka slang.

What format is it offered in (Playstation, Xbox)? Or massive-online-multiplayer?

The graphics seems poor. The vehicle handling looks like it’s from vice city or something, I mean there isn’t much traffic either and the cars look like straight from a gta mod pack. I’m still skeptical. Also where are the classic cusswords?

Well its a great start. If Bangladesh can gain a foothold in the world electronic/digital gaming industry using homegrown talent, another source of revenue.

Bangladesh is already the second largest source of freelance software development talent (after India, even having one eighth the population)...if we can gain first place then that'd be wonderful.

In the categories of 'creative and multimedia' (subject of this topic) we are almost at par with India, while in 'sales and marketing support' we exceed them by far.

Heard that Bangladeshi president is from army and a retired Lt Col from Signal Corps ?

Basically a graduate of Military college of Signals of Pakistan ?

Nope, just a regular guy.

I think the batch of armed forces officers who were graduates of Pakistani military colleges are getting closer to retirement. For example our former Army CAS Moeen U Ahmed (of Caretaker Govt.) was part of the 16th entry batch from Sargodha. There are scores of people in Bangladesh Army who are ex-Pakistani Army/AF school graduates who are on the way to retirement now (some of them from Biman as senior pilots).

Compared to these folks, current Army CAS' record pales in comparison. Family background is questionable, as is level of education (he is also suspected to be a sellout to India AFAIK. Sad.) This is what I said when I mentioned elsewhere that there will be quality crisis in armed forces leadership.

However I don't know a lot and just going by online sources (and some hearsay).

Check out this guy in Dhaka (Biskutfactory) for some funky accessories painted 'filmy kitsch' style...

Cellphone cover says 'Kaleejar Tukra'

These are very evocative of bus, baby-taxi and truck decorations in both Bangladesh and Pakistan.
