Coal exploration
Having made a blunder of Great Wall proportions with Phulbaria coal mining; opening salvoes have been launched by interested ROK parties (Aug.22 report) for more misadventures. May be the South Koreans believe that once hooked; we will be addicted to more mining scams! Despite lack of background, expertise or know how of mining issues, the ROK business entity knows the type and style of doing real big business in Bangladesh. They know how to win friends and influence the authorities in Bangladesh! No wonder they prefer to come to Bangladesh, the land of 'milk and honey'. Both in Bangladesh and ROK proper and effective administrative tie up is what counts in big business; which gives them the confidence about it.
For the ROK party; style of big business follows a similar pattern, both in Bangladesh and ROK; so no harm in trying! After all "birds of same feather flock together!".
They must have done their homework and possibly are aware of the "modus operandi" of business even in a non political environment in Bangladesh! We can only wait and watch; how this new drama unfolds; this is possibly the first act of the drama!
