[vinnomot] Tk 588.4 crore in fine - how many has been held accountable
Tk 588.4 crore in fine - how many has been held accountable
A crime of this proportion should not only be restricted on paying fine. A process should be developed that allows the law enforcement agencies to get into deeper to held accountable those who were responsible
Five organizations - four for-profit joint venture organizations and one government watchdog. And among them, a total of 588 crore taka of fines. See the following news item attached at the end of the article. The four companies had actually done the wrong, and the government agency didn't do anything to right the worng. Actually, many would argue that the BTRC was actually facilitating the theft over the years.
While the fines are good news, it is incomplete.
Within these five organizations, how many has been held accountable so far? The companies has been fined. But how many of the individuals has been fined?
Punishment on the individual level may not be our main objective, but what is there to deter similar kind of abuse in the future? Can we at least know who were the responsible person in policy-making positions who oversaw this mess, had the capacity to make policies to avoid the mess, but didn't do anything? Again, to emphasize the point, we are worried about the whereabouts of those persons now - what new mess are they are creating now (either because of their incompetence or because of their dishonesty or both) that the nation will know few years later?
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columinsts in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

Illegal VoIP
Tk 150cr fine slapped on Citycell
MD Hasan
Citycell, the country's oldest mobile phone operator, has been fined Tk 150 crore by the telecom regulator for its involvement in illegal VoIP or international call termination.
The company has already paid Tk 75 crore to the telecom watchdog--Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) -- and the rest of the amount will be paid within a short time in two instalments, BTRC sources said.
Citycell is the fourth mobile operator to be fined for their involvement in the VoIP scandal. Grameenphone, the country's largest operator was fined Tk 168.4 crore, Aktel Tk 145 crore and Banglalink Tk 125 crore. In total Tk 588.4 crore will be deposited with the government exchequer as compensation.
VoIP made it possible to terminate international calls illegally as only Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB), the state owned body, had the right to do this.

[vinnomot] Article 3 : Does science make belief in Allah/God obsolete?
Article 3 : Does science make belief in Allah/God obsolete?
No, and yes - speaks a Christian Priest… !
| Does the science make Allah/God obsolete as a result of reason and inquiry ? The knowledge that we have gained through modern science, does it make belief in a fictional and concocted Intelligence behind the cosmos, more incredible than ever ? And, yes, science does make Allah/God obsolete, not only as a matter of intellectual sensibility but also at the level of our deeper senses. Of course, not just science itself but a rational "scientific mentality" that often accompanies it, along with the power, control, comfort, and convenience provided by modern technology, it has helped to push the concept of the fictional Allah/God into the hazy twilight of agnosticism. Superficially it may seem that the advances of science have made Allah/God obsolete by providing natural and rational explanations for phenomena that were once thought to be the result of so-called fictional divine activity. These advances have been the continuation of the Enlightenment, liberation from the religious superstitions begun by Greeks thousands of years ago in Athens. Enlightened Greek philosophers were followed by many liberal and secular scholars of Renaissance who "de-divinized (by excluding the idea of an Allah/God)" Nature to a degree unparalleled in the ancient world. Summarizing an established tradition 750 years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas taught that the wise governor ordinarily governs by delegation to competent subordinates. In the case of Nature, the fictional Allah/God's governs by means of the regularities built into the natures of things; what religious nonsense, indeed…. ! In short, the Nature we know from modern science embodies and reflects material properties and a depth of intelligibility, surely far beyond the wildest imaginings of the Greek philosophers of 4000 years ago. One must view all these extremely complex, elegant, and intelligible laws, entities, properties, and relations evolved in the universe as " facts" in need of further exploration and rest assured that the philosophical explanation is the honorable responsibility of human intelligence ; on the other hand, leaving all this to the religious and superstitious nonsense will be, indeed, "an abdication of human reason and intelligence. Fortunately, except for the nonsense of postmodernism, the modern mood of inquiry is not different. In terms of modern sensibilities, the intellectual culture of the Europe and the Europeanized West is dominated by a scientific mentality that seeks to explain qualitative and holistic realities through quantitative and reductive, as well as by explanation of the workings of parts in relation to the whole. This is not just the unlimited application of the "scientific mentality" called the scientism, but this is essentially an ethical philosophical belief, a secular faith that the scientific methods and scientific explanations can lead us to grasp all aspects of reality and nothing less. Of course, such attitude, of necessity, is accompanied by agnosticism or atheism. In terms of popular sentiment, scientific attitude, though not in itself sufficient, seems to have carried the day. Most people therefore intuitively accept the notion that human nature and human experience, though not reducible to what is scientifically knowable, gives a world of feelings, opinions, and personal values that we can better channel with the help of the science of mind and behaviour. The increase in leisure and health brought about by our increasing mastery over Nature has certainly resulted, despite the evil of religion, in an increase in wisdom and the contemplation of the great, the rational, and the reasonable. On the other hand, our technology-based leisure doesn't really result in loud hedonism, consumerism, and mind-numbing mass entertainment. In this milieu, many may, still, claim belief in a fictional Allah/God, however, the course of their lives reflect de facto agnosticism which would be expected and justifiably so in their everyday experiences and priorities. In all our scientific "knowledge" of the inner workings of things, and our technology-based comforts and distractions, there would always be a definite place for the voice of conscience, whereas, in a practical and existential sense, science and technology seem to have pushed belief in a fictional Allah/God toward obsolescence, and rightly so. In our innermost being, we moderns remain inquisitive. Sooner or later we will achieve an existential enlightenment, and recognize in our lives something solemn, ordered, not in need of any fiction of divine, not any more. The fact that we can recognize disorder, brokenness and evil in the religious milieu which occur within a larger framework of human order, reason and ethics, it is surely a sign of our essentially human conscience. Yet brokenness and disorder are things painfully religious, and the human soul by its very nature seeks something more than the mere fiction of religion, it seeks a deeper understanding, a deeper humanism, a lasting sense of ethics and morality based on historical human experience. Consideration of the order and reason in nature can lead us to a scientific and humanist paradise of the philosophers, sure, but consideration of the religious evil and wickedness leads us into the religious hell and beyond. ............

[vinnomot] Disgraceful act of Saudi prince and Rupali Bank Sales Deal
Those who are responsible for this deal should be taken into account. Citizen has the right to know who these people are who coasted Bangladesh Tk 17 crore of public money.
Probably it was Mahmudur Rahman, one of the most controversial notorious people in four party alliance government who made the deal on behalf of incompetent four party coalition government.
This is just one more illustration of how the country was running under Jamaat-BNP government. Country's asset was considered as personal and given away hastily in exchange of bribe.
Undoubtedly, the disgraceful disgusting act of prince of Saudi Arabia also notable. We should black list these sorts of fake investors for future. How dare this prince of Saudi Arabia to write to the army chief of Staff Gen. Moeen about his new offer but not to the government. This shows his crude way of dealing through the backdoor.
In a recent letter to Chief of Army Staff Gen Moeen U Ahmed, the prince said he is now willing to pay only $185 million instead of the $456 million he had originally offered last year.

[vinnomot] Al-Zuman Becomes Fiorst Saudi(Possibly First Muslim) to Conquer Everes t
| Al-Zuman Becomes First Saudi to Conquer Everest Ghazanfar Ali Khan, Arab News | ||||||
RIYADH, 22 May 2008 — Thirty-year- "Farouk has made all of us proud," said Aasma Al-Yahya, Al-Zuman's mother. "I thank Allah that my son's purpose and the Saudi nation's mission have been successfully completed." Three members of the 10-person expedition failed to reach the top, with one Japanese climber dying on the way. "But Al-Zuman made history and has now been fondly nicknamed the 'Sir Edmund Hillary of Saudi Arabia,'" said Al-Zuman's boss and sponsor, Sultan Al-Bazie, CEO of Attariq Communications. "A total of seven members of our expedition team succeeded to reach the top," said Al-Zuman, a PR strategist and graduate of Oregon State University in the US. Al-Zuman's mother said there were tense moments during the climb. "We were concerned about his safety and health as we lost contact for quite some time after Farouk's satellite phone failed to work or got disrupted from time to time." Hamid Ansari, the Nepalese ambassador to the Kingdom, congratulated the climber. "I was happy to know that this young Saudi has reached the summit and unfurled the Saudi flag, which bears the name of Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)," said Ansari. "This climb was made in the wake of harsh climatic conditions and deadly blizzards. It is not an easy task," he added. Al-Zuman, a black belt in Tae Kwondo and professional swimmer, is an experienced mountain climber. Previously, he scaled Mt. Rainer in Washington, US, Mt. Halealala in Maui, Hawaii, and Mt. Shasta in California. Al-Zuman is the first Arab this year to climb the peak. A large number of people have died attempting to reach the top since the first historic climb by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and his Nepalese guide Tenzing Norgay in 1953. The death rate for Mt. Everest climbers is about one in 10. |

[vinnomot] Re: [ALOCHONA] Islamic leaders seek Nizami's punishment for war crimes
Mr. S.A. Hannan, It is not so much astounding but rather amusing the way you wanted to defend Motiur Rahman Nizami Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami. In your words "No gentleman would stoop so low to hit below the belt in a situation when another
person, a leader of the biggest Islamic party of Bangladesh
straitened circumstances."
Mr. S.A. Hannan may I ask you what was Mr. Nizami's stand when people of Bangladesh faced straitened situation during the war of independence? Let me tell you very clearly what was his stand, he went so low not just he hit below the belt he aimed straight to the balls intending to kill every one he can.
When Pakistan occupational force was killing, arson, looting and raping our mothers and sister in the name of restoring Islam, it was him and his so called Islamic party Jamaat-e-Islami which not only supported the killing, raping, arson and looting by Pakistani mercenary forces of darkness but become the willful partner of war crime and genocide.
You may call the party an Islamic organization but the act of Jamaat during the war and its committed genocide against the civil population shamefully indicates them as a party which follows Satan and Jahannam.
It is unfortunate Mr. Hannan that Islam that you prescribe and Mr. Nizami prescribes is not the path approved by Prophet of mankind for peace Hazraat Mohammad (PBUH).
Mr. Hannan it is not just few Alims in your word but the vast majority of the population which wants to see Mr. Nizami be indicted for war crime and partner for genocide with many others including Acting Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Mawlana A.K.M Yusuf, party secretary general Ali ahsan Mujahid and lot of others in Jamaat high command.
Mr. Hannan, it was not others but he (Mr. Nizami) who committed the crime of hitting below the belt not others, others are just pointing the crime he and his party Jamaat-e-Islami committed against humanity.
Thanks
Shamim Chowdhury

Islamic leaders seek Nizami's punishment for war crimes
Staff Correspondent
Representatives of the Islamic community of the country yesterday
demanded punishment of Jamaat Ameer Matiur Rahman Nizami for war crimes
he committed during the Liberation War.
The demand came at a meeting between a delegation of Islamic leaders and
the Sector Commanders Forum (SCF) at the SCF office in Banani.
The delegation, led by former director of Bangladesh Islamic Foundation
Maulana Farid Uddin Masud, said war crimes are more heinous than
corruption and for that the government should try the war criminals by a
special tribunal.
At the meeting they said the rule of law that the government is telling
about could be ensured if they try the war criminals.
The religious leaders said that there can be no peace in the country if
war criminals are not tried.
SCF chairman and deputy chief of Liberation War Air Vice-Marshall (retd)
AK Khandaker, sector commanders Maj Gen (retd) KM Shafiullah, Maj Gen
(retd) CR Dutta, Maj Gen (retd) Rafiqul Islam, Lt Col (retd) Abu Osman
Chowdhury, former Army Chief and chief coordinator of SCF Lt Gen (retd)
Harun-ar-Rashid, among others, were present on behalf of SCF.
Maulana Abdur Rahim, Maulana Mizanur Rahman, Principal of Baridhara
Madrasa Maulana Abdul Alim Faridi, Khatib of Rajbari Mosque Mufti Ainul
Islam, among others, represented Islamic leaders.
