The founder and chairperson of Brac, Fazle Hasan Abed, is to be knighted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his services to alleviating poverty in Bangladesh and abroad. In effect, the British Knighthood has been honoured for bestowing this distinction upon a world-class pioneer for his contribution towards restoration of parity among people.
Faridul Alam, PhD Congratulations to Mr Fazle Hasan Abed for the Knighthood. He deserves it. My concern is who will lead these prime organisations like Grameen Bank, Brac, and Gano Shasta Kendra after the natural exit of the founders.
Faqrul Great news on the New Year. Men like FH Abed make us proud. This is recognition of years of good work. Our politics and corrupt politicians made us the top corrupt nation in the world . But the living legends have earned great laurels from international arena to redeem ourselves. Congratulations, Mr. Abed.
Saleque Sufi Congratulations to Mr Fazle Hasan Abed for being recognised internationally once again. We are proud of him as Bangladeshis and hope others will follow his example.
MZ It's great news and honour for us. But let's not get carried away by this. Imagine a situation where Bangladesh is one of the richest countries in the world and we are recognising others for their contribution in poverty alleviation. Shall we ever see such day?
Concerned citizen Congratulations! Hope you will continue the job for the betterment of the poor. We pray for your long life.
Hasan A Rouf Abed bhai deserves to be congratulated by all Bangladeshis not only for his Knighthood but also for showing the world the way to reduction of poverty.
Shafiqul Islam The nation is proud of the founder and chairperson of Brac, Fazle Hasan Abed, who has taken the initiative to alleviate poverty of the marginal people in rural Bangladesh. We pray to the Almighty for his long and healthy life.
Mayen Uddin Tazim I am so proud to be a student of Brac University founded by Mr. Fazle Hasan Abed.
Nafiza Nasarullah Ena Congratulations!! We are very proud.
Sohag We salute this golden son of Bangladesh. Professor Yunus and Mr. Abed are the pride of Bangladesh. We pay our tributes to Mr. Abed and wish him a very happy and long life.
Masud Isa Congratulations!
It's great news. We are proud of Mr. Abed and I wish in future he will be honoured for the outstanding contribution of Brac under his leadership to alleviation of poverty globally.

Muggers taught a lesson in bravery (January 3, 2010)
A brave college girl Friday caught a mugger and gave him a bloody nose, three days after he mugged her on her way home in Khulna. Hats off to Tama! This is how we must all stand up against the audacity of the antisocial elements. Tama did the right thing and her actions should be a lesson for all.
Azman The New Year starts with the story of the bravery of a young girl. Wish many more will follow her instance.
Rezauddin Chowdhury Bravo, Tama! Great!! The police might have taken years to capture the culprits, but you have taught them the lesson.
SZT Very brave girl.
I think we all must learn from this girl how to defend ourselves.
Saeed Hasan Bravo! The country needs more courageous girls like you to fight back, but do not ignore your security.
Professor Abdullah Dewan Wow! Well done Tama!
Colonel Millat (Retired) Wonderful Tama. Congrats! I do want to see our other sisters doing the same -- have the courage to face the criminals and thrash them.
Masud Isa No doubt a brave act. However, she should not have acted on her own and should have reported the incident to the police for her own safety and security.
Salah Here in Canada school children learn how to avoid kidnapping or trouble from the unwanted people and also how to kick or bite to discourage the troublemakers!
