“Low pay, hostile environment,” published on July 13, 2013

I do not understand why Bangladesh government does not create jobs for these thousands of women in Bangladesh! It is really shameful that people are forced to leave their motherland due to shortage of jobs or a total lack of interest of their government in creating jobs for women.

Harassment, intimidation on female workers in Middle Eastern countries is an open secret. Our government should stand up to these Middle East countries that hire our workers and behave with them as if they are slaves.

$120 per month is about Tk.10000 -- pretty lucrative for poor women working as domestic helps. Shame on those Middle Eastern households who treat them as inferiors...

To my mind the party leader has to shoulder the full responsibility for the failure since she is the fountainhead of all powers be it in the government or in the party.

After all the misrule and corruption, Awami League should not be surprised by these local election results. If Awami League leaders really believed in the ballot, they would not have ruled the country in such a disgusting way.

Most people think PM is liable for everything.
Leadership change may help the party.

I congratulate PSC for being pragmatic about quota system. Bangladesh should allow minorities and underrepresented groups to move forward, but there should be a minimum standard for all.

The reserved quota for freedom fighters should be abolished if we really want to honour them. The ruling party and its allies will not be very happy as this will go against their master plan of politicising the admin and civil service to serve their purpose for generations to come.
