Begum Zia's appeal

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mustafizur Rahman, On e-mail

I was surprised by Begum Zia's request to the CTG to send her son Koko to Singapore or Bangkok for better treatment (your daily 27 September 2007). Why Madam? I recall your last speech to the nation on TV and radio before abdicating power last year. You gave a long list of developments and achievements made by your govt. Didn't you develop our hospitals well enough so that your son could be treated here in Bangladesh? I feel very upset when I see people like you heading for Singapore or Saudi Arabia for treatment of even minor ailments.
