The present government is doing a number of good work but one fails to understand why they are exposing themselves to criticism through making mistakes which could have been avoided. Day Saving Time has become a sore point for everybody, particularly the young mothers and children. One wonders whether it has been imposed on us by a third country. Otherwise, why the govt should be so stubborn despite the fact that majority of the people are against it. We are now one and a half hour ahead of India which means our international business closes 90 minutes early if the office time is up to 5:00pm in India. This provides more business opportunities for our competitors in the neighbouring countries. This is also funny to note that a cabinet meeting is needed to say 'no' or 'yes' to such a small issue.
The 'name game' is another issue which does not speak well for the present government's 'Din bodoler pala'.
