Now, I love The reaction of the Pakis and even Indians when these stats come up on newspapers and released by International economic agencies. Priceless.. lol
Most Pakistanis will come up with an excuse or ask you why Dhaka is so dirty or that Bangladesh has sex trafficking of women and children. They behave as if there are no prostitutes in Pakistan or as if Bangladeshi economy is run by the sex industry.

A nurse in Wuhan who insists in a shocking online video that close to 90,000 people in China have the disease, far more than the 1,975 reported by officials.
“I am in the area where the coronavirus started,” her video begins. Wuhan is the epicenter of the outbreak.
“I’m here to tell the truth,” the anonymous nurse says in the video, which shows her wearing a full-head face mask.
“At this moment, Hubei province, including the Wuhan area, even China, 90,000 people have been infected by a coronavirus.”

Lying Chinese trying to save their economy and incompetent WHO behaving like China's second fiddle by not declaring it a pandemic.

You are not wrong and I was surprised to see some of the videos few years back on how Bangladeshi ambassador in Qatar giving speeches insulting NRBs or Embassy staff assaulting our hard working brothers or NRB kids being beaten up by local political thugs in Sylhet ! Can you blame them for calling that? Understandably government highest policy makers are doing their best but its the mid management is not doing enough. The incompetence and the arrogance of the officials are very unprofessional. I was once stopped at the airport by few undercover police tried something out of me but when they realized they will be in trouble they quickly cleared my way out. NRBs are not only can contribute by sending remittance but also offer expertise, knowledge and skills can have positive impact for the growth. By the way where you are residing?
I was born and bought up in Kuwait but live in Germany now. As you can imagine the middle eastern countries treat Bangladeshis as dirt and I'm glad because it taught me that there's only one place on the planet that I can be safe from racism and from people who want to look down on me because of my race or nationality.
I have always disliked going to the embassy in Kuwait, the staff are very very disrespectful and make a fuss about anything and everything.
This was fine until my father died (Kuwait) and we couldn't lay him to rest until 6 days after due to the sheer incompetence and total lack of human compassion from the embassy staff. They aren't above letting a dead man rot until you pay them their bribe. In the end we had him laid to rest in Kuwait without the embassies consent and the authorities were very very respectful and helped us out as much as possible. The same Arabs who look down on you, atleast have the understanding that dead people need to be laid to rest asap.
Another embassy fiasco in Berlin, they couldn't pay the rent for embassy building and were evicted. They then worked the services out of the ambassador's villa. What they did with the money the government provides them with for embassy services and rent is anybody's guess.

not sure how to feel about this, I just hope they will go back eventually. That said the educated ones are more than welcome to stay and contribute to the economy.
Hopefully they remember our hospitality and help us when the time comes. Myanmar will have to be sized down some day in the future.

Any one knows if the epassport application process also available for NRBs to apply from out of the country ?
Don't expect anything, Bangladesh government is expert in ignoring NRBs like they don't exist, only time they remember us is when they need remittance.
They especially good at neglecting those of us in the Middle East who are the ones who actually send money back to the country after toiling in desert heat, instead of opening restaurants in England and then having kids who don't identify as bangali and who then have the audacity to call the motherland a shithole.
The embassy staff where I live are uneducated and behave like kings, they behave like they're doing us a favour by attesting certificates.
Sorry for the rant. (edit)

I agree with the fact that they are same level of traitors but just changing a law without changing the way we judge things is still the same. The powerful will walk free and you wouldn't snag more than a few low ranked ones. Same as the anti-narcotics drive if you know what I'm hinting at.
In Bangladesh the powerful always walk free and will continue to do so, until the day we have a government ( new party ) that has a spine and doesn't actively ignore widespread corruption in their own party. Both BAL and BNP are corrupt and in the long run we will have to get rid of them.

Coronavirus scare in India: suspected cases on the rise
At least three new suspected cases of coronavirus infection have been reported in India within a day, adding to the growing fear of coronavirus outbreak.
In Bihar’s Chapra area authorities identified a suspected case of coronavirus, reports India Today.
A girl, who recently visited China, returned to Bihar with symptoms similar to those affected by coronavirus.
The girl was being rushed to the Patna Medical College and Hospital for further tests to see if she has been infected by coronavirus, superintendent of PMCH Vimal Karak was quoted by India Today.
In Kolkata, another suspected case is being assessed, according to Zee News.
A Chinese citizen who has been travelling for the past six months reached Kolkata in India on January 24. She was admitted to Apollo Hospitals on suspicion of being affected by coronavirus and has since been shifted to Belaghata Hospital, reports Zee News.
In Mumbai, a 36-year-old man has been admitted in the isolation ward of a civic-run hospital on suspicion of possible exposure to coronavirus, officials said today according to India Today.
This is the fourth such incident in Mumbai. Three people were admitted to hospitals for possible exposure to the virus strain, after screening of passengers was done at the Mumbai international airport.
All three were hospitalised as precaution, officials had said on January 25, according to India Today.

I think we need death penalty for corrupt officials, atleast for a few years and then revoke the law. At present corruption is rampant and it is holding the development of the nation back.
In my view anyone who holds the nations development back is equal to a traitor from 71.

Death penalty must be according to rapists, sex traffickers and maximum jail term for officials who are helping them organise the fake IDs.
I agree for rapists but for sex traffickers I'd rather they suffer and feel like useless objects with no soul. Make them work to death in prison camp, have them break ships if need be, nothing more dehumanising then working to death for no economic return. Do onto them what they were going to do with these women.

Punish them accordingly, daily torture, break a few limbs and minimum 10 years jail time.

Don't know what to expect as we cant demand too much of the government because we have bigger priorities than upgrading our forces capabilities.
However I hope for anything between 4.5 to 6 billion.

PM has instructed on bringing back Bangladeshis from China: Shahriar Alam
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given directives to bring back Bangladeshi nationals who are now in coronavirus-stricken China and want to return, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam said in a Facebook post this morning.
“I have already started discussion with the Chinese government in this regard,” the state minister said in the post.
The process to bring back the Bangladeshis will depend on the local administration’s consent in the context of the current situation, he said.
“Our main target is to ensure security of the citizens of our country,” the state minister said.
A preliminary instruction will be issued later in the day over preparing a list of the Bangladeshi nationals willing to return from China.
Earlier, Bangladeshi students under lockdown in China’s Wuhan city, the epicentre of the Coronavirus outbreak that has claimed 80 lives so far, appealed for help through social media, saying they want to return to Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Beijing then said it has established contact with the ministry of foreign affairs in China in case emergency support was needed by Bangladeshi expatriates in Wuhan. According to a press release, there has been no news of any foreigner being infected by or dying from the coronavirus.
God forbid of any of these folks are infected when they come back to Bangladesh, I don't know if our Health Infrastructure will be able to handle it.

China virus death toll leaps to 80 despite massive lockdown
AFP, Wuhan, China
The toll from China's viral epidemic spiked on Monday to 80 dead with hundreds of new infections despite unprecedented quarantines and travel lockdowns, as foreign governments scrambled to help their trapped citizens.
The virulence of a contagion causing fear nationwide has prompted authorities to impose transport curbs around China to cut off transmission routes, and extend a national holiday to delay people travelling back to work.
With many thousands of foreigners trapped in the ground-zero city of Wuhan, which is under a virtual lockdown, the United States and France were among several countries formulating plans to evacuate their citizens by plane.
With the coronavirus also expanding globally, World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus headed to Beijing to meet with government officials on the crisis.
"My WHO colleagues and I would like to understand the latest developments and strengthen our partnership with China in providing further protection against the outbreak," he said on Twitter.
Tedros last week stopped short of declaring the outbreak an international public health emergency, which would have prompted more concerted international action including possible trade or travel restrictions.
Cases have been reported as far afield as France, the United States and Canada, with various countries in Asia also detecting cases. Those infected had previously been in China.
The new additions to China's death toll came entirely from the epicentre province of Hubei, which on Monday reported 24 fresh fatalities.
Most fatalities and overall cases have been in Hubei, and the government says the deaths have largely been elderly or people already weakened by pre-existing health conditions.
- Thousands of cases -
But China's National Health Commission said on Monday that in addition to 2,744 confirmed infections nationwide -- an increase of 769 -- there were nearly 6,000 suspected cases and more than 30,000 people under medical observation.
Hardest-hit has been Hubei's capital Wuhan, where the virus is suspected to have come from animals in a market selling a wide range of exotic wild game.
Wuhan has been under virtual lockdown for days, with transport halted and citizens told to stay at home.
The national government decided it would extend the Lunar New Year holiday and related school closures beyond the original January 30 end date to "reduce population flows," state media reported.
The holiday was extended to February 2.
Several cities responded, with new school terms delayed in Beijing until further notice, and Shanghai postponing until February 17.
The city of Suzhou in eastern Jiangsu province also ordered companies to extend the end of the holiday until February 9.
Hundreds of millions of Chinese travel long distances to gather with family members for the holiday, a key concern for authorities struggling to corral the highly contagious pathogen.
The previously unknown virus has caused global concern because of its similarity to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which killed hundreds across mainland China and Hong Kong in 2002-2003.
- 'Getting stronger' -
At a press briefing in Beijing on Sunday, the head of China's disease control agency, Gao Fu, said it was "not as powerful as SARS," but officials warned it could be getting stronger.
Shandong province in the east and four cities -- Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an and Tianjin -- have announced bans on long-distance buses entering or leaving, while some provinces and cities made it mandatory to wear face masks in public.
The United States and France were among a host of countries making arrangements to get their citizens out of Wuhan, a major industrial and transport hub of 11 million people.
The crisis has overwhelmed Wuhan's hospitals prompting authorities to send hundreds of medical reinforcements including military doctors, and start construction on two field hospitals.
Speaking at a press conference and wearing a face mask, Wuhan's mayor Zhou Xianwang said Sunday the city's medical staff were "very strained and tired".
Some foreigners in Wuhan pleaded to be evacuated, saying they were short on supplies.
"We want to be evacuated as soon as possible, because either the virus, the hunger or the fear will kill us," Mashal Jamalzai, a political science student from Afghanistan studying in Wuhan told AFP.
The Wuhan meat market at the epicentre sold a vast range of unusual dinner fare including rats, snakes and hedgehogs.
On Sunday, the government said it was banning all trade in wildlife until the emergency is over, but conservationists called for Beijing to make the ban permanent to reduce the possibility of future outbreaks.

There are only 3 MiG-29Bs and 1 MiG-29UB remaining in the country with the forming having actual BVR AAM firing capability. Bangladesh has not been this vulnerable since a very long time. If Myanmar wanted to attack they would have done so. The fact that they don't want a physical war with Bangladesh. They already succeeded in their plan to expel most of the Rohingya's out of their country. Their main threat is the rise of the Arakan Army.
I agree but monkeys are getting a bit to adventurous and it only takes one trigger happy fool.
They've already developed a thing for St Martin's Island.

So if anybody does not comply with any ICJ ruling then the issue is elevated to the Security Council for enforcement. And so the issue is, it depends on the interest of the P5 countries as you said, therefore neither UN nor ICJ actually has any authority or action over the situation unless it interests the P5 states
Nothing will come out of it, Russia and China will veto any resolution brought to the floor at the security council.
