The New Nation - Internet Edition

Mohd. Mofiz

Of late it is mentioned in the Newspapers that the Present Government is considering to cancel weekly holidays on Fridays & Saturdays and reintroducing one day weekly holiday on Sundays. If we focus on other countries we see that the Christian enjoy their Holidays on Sundays which is related to their Religious Customs and the Jews enjoy Weekly Holidays on Saturdays which is also related to their religious customs. But it is surprising that we the Bangladeshis being Muslim country cannot enjoy our weekly holidays on Fridays. We had seen many changes in weekly holidays but how much development did we make? Of course if this is the only obstacle in the progress of the country's development let us do it. But I am sure that we have a lot to do for the infrastructural amendments to make things and ways more transparent and progressive. We can focus on many important things for our development such as:

1. To coup with the competitions we need to focus on our educational systems so that students can get proper knowledge and linguistic power to express (especially in English) their potentiality and can accommodate them in the proper place to represent the country and its image.

2. The national Security systems should be in line with other developed countries so that the national and expatriate businessmen may have the encouragement for their investment.

3. We should take initiative to uproot the bribes at any level both Government and Private Sector

4. The student politics in the Campus to be minimized or to be stopped if possible. We can bring absolute stability in the country's educational systems and academic calendar to be made and followed so that every student knows what he needs to do during the academic year and thus obviously he may not spare his time to involve himself in the politics.

5. We can improve ourselves to have strong sense of morality to the national and to its interest. We should know our commitments to the country and to our Creator.

6. The leadership needs to be strong and committed; of course educated and properly educated with a wide horizon; so that they can play their roles for understanding the problems and capable of finding solutions. Otherwise leadership itself will be a burden and blind without any proper indication and result.

7. We may empower our military to hunt down the criminals in collaboration with the other security forces. So that they can expand their output in our country also not only in the UN. They are well trained and well equipped comparing with other security forces. I am sure that the leadership of the criminals cannot dominate our beloved soil if we become active and alert.

8. Our justice systems need to be quick and transparent so that nobody will dare to do corruption in the country. No nation can stand on corruptions; it is a curse at any circumstances.

9. The killings and hijacking are the common phenomenon of the day and it proves that how much lawlessness we have in the country. Government or Care Taker Government can never avoid it.

We are sure that if our intentions are clear and holy and we empower the respective department or authority with a courageous and strong leadership, our country's dreams will be fulfilled and it will walk and run with its development and prosperity. The days will come that we are a developed country and enjoy our freedom. May Allah bless us all.
