Saga of a postage stamp
I've been following closely the Musa Ibrahim postage stamp saga ever since Sir Frank Peters presented the excellent idea following Musa's Everest conquest. Much has been written on this subject; one writer in particular, Hamza Gazi, asks why the government is dragging its feet in honouring this brave young son of the soil who brought such great honours to Bangladesh. The stamp concept is excellent. I know, because I am a father of three children who are avid stamp collectors.
This topic has now become such a 'hot potato' and so controversial that it will most likely become a political issue.
The government is yet to acknowledge the people's viewpoint regarding Musa Ibrahim's picture on a postage stamp. They are making a terrible mistake.
