DST riddle
The cabinet has fixed the new office/school timing without fixing the date of implementation. According to media reports, electronic and print, no decision has been announced on the DST or when the clock would be put back to original time which is applicable to the whole country, irrespective of one living in Dhaka or elsewhere.
I need not explain or question this any more, the media will take care as soon as the new problem arises with the new timing. It appears that the government is more interested to have separate time for business activities in Dhaka and elsewhere thinking about energy saving without having any definite data on this.
I think the government is putting itself into the BNP trap on the 'clock' adjustment issue. The worst part of it is that no formal information is available from the experts in the government who have advised the prime minister to implement the DST. The BNP will change the clock to original time.
We have been befooled in the process and we can say that the cabinet ministers have also been befooled by the so called expert adviser of the prime minister for taking the cabinet decision without dealing in the total perspective. Another example of patchwork!
The simple equation is, if the clock is put back to old and normal time, the office and school time will come back to the original position.
Anyway, I am totally perplexed and cannot work out anything out of this complex math produced by the government. I am open to help and assistance to understand the complex math.
