Dear Chottala Group, It is true that a few army officers are corrupt, which holds good for every organization in the entire world..from west to east, north to south. corruption can't be 'zero', thats what is said in modern theory of management. but should it be the yardstick for drawing conclusion about the entire army officers' community? If you want to consider 'exceptions' as 'examples', you may not read this mail any further wasting your invaluable time. - A few teachers of DU were found to have been involved in harassing female students for a better grade...do you now call the entire teacher community of DU characterless?
- saifuddin manik, a BCL cadre of jahangirnagar university, and his accomplices celebrated his 100th rape in JU in the late nineties by cutting cake. later he was sent abroad by his political well wishers...now do you call the entire BCL and its parent organization as rapist?
- a few Muslims are reportedly killing innocent people by carrying out suicide bombings...do you now call the entire Muslim community as kiilers?
You all seem to be quite educated. is it really wise and logical for you to term army officers as corrupt? don't you have army officers as your relatives? or are you in an island outside societal Bangladesh and viewing the country with binoculars from there? Do you know that army officers are dismissed from service without pension for corruption even if the entire embezzled property of govt is recovered and govt incurs no financial loss? do you know how an army officer leads his family life, how he/she strives hard to lead an honest and decent life with whatever he/she earns? do you know how an army officers tries hard to make every paisa of the govt worth spending being the custodian of govt money and property? out of thousands of examples, please consider only a few: I spoke to one of the major feeder ship operators in Singapore that services Chittagong port. I started to ask him about the port situation in Chittagong and could hardly finish my sentence when he interrupted with the comment "Well, this is a very interesting story". I pass on to you some of his comments (words to the effect and not verbatim of course). "They sent a colonel down to Chittagong to sort out the port. He did more in about 30 days than has been achieved at Chittagong in 30 years" "This guy has done more for Bangladesh shipping operations than I would have believed possible" "The port is running to a disciplined process. We berth our ships on arrival and stay for a maximum of 48 hours before we have to leave the berth – whether cargo operations are complete or not – that rule is strictly enforced. This means we can schedule a fixed day of the week service into and out of Chittagong and that then means we can more or less guarantee the feeder connections to the main line ships at the relay ports like Colombo and Singapore . An incredible improvement in the service reliability levels for the shipping lines versus previously when we usually waited 10-12 days for a berth at Chittagong and could not schedule our vessels to meet the connections downstream" ' Chittagong port container volumes are growing at about 12% per annum" My contact then asked why I was asking about Chittagong . I told him we were aware of the intention to implement container scanning for both import and export containers. His comment was that "he hoped that whatever they do it does not affect the new found productivity at the port" that has been achieved at Chittagong . I told him that there are solutions that have a negligible impact on productivity. (We have one of course but I did not elaborate) I suggested that I meet him for lunch in a few weeks time when he is back in Singapore and brief him on the SAIC solution that maintain productivity – the feeder operators obviously want to see the new port situation protected and they could be a good ally for us.

Anyway, the list is not exhaustive. My point is simple: just a request to you all educated persons to be sane enough to comment.

I may only say that I am not a lier and I am not wasting my time to compose bluffs for you. I have just tried to type down the truth, and I have done it out of my conviction as a servant of Allah.

| Dear Everyone It is really very important to investigate all these Amry officers involved such corruption. I personally know a six story building at Uttara built by an army major without developer. Beyond imigination. An Army major income is surely not enough to build a six story building without any developers help. Imagine how much he got fromother source. This is our country - Bangladesh. we must be proud of our beloved countrywith millions of poor people to live from hand to mouth. Regds.

| First of all, I pray for the departed souls who lost their lives during this BDR event. At the same time, I can't but mention the following points: 1. Who is going to talk about the corruption of Army during care taker Government? I know from my personal contacts that many Army officers did sky high corruption during that time. Please keep in mind that Army is such a force who does huge corruption, BUT nobody can catch them at any time. On the other hand they are gifted with MP nomination and eventually become minister as soon as they retire. This is the first time in BD that some Army officers had to give lives (except the Army killing by Ziaur Rahman in late '70s). 2. Anybody who has little bit of sense will understand that the BDR event was planned by experts who has clear knowledge about war planning. And in BD only two forces can do that -- one is Jamaat and the other is Army. 3. Was the helicopter crash just an accident? A Major General died and why is Army so quite? The helicopter was bought only three years back, isn't it unlikely to have an accident now?? 4. The person who was allegedly driving the APC (so called bullet proof car) in Pilkhana committed suicide within custody? Is this just another accident? 5. Now come to the audio -- Army is trained for crisis management and war time situation. But the way the officers were talking to Sk Hasina, that was extremely emotional, immature and childlike. I can expect this from people like us, but NOT from Army officers. Why they were finger pointing and doing emotional blackmailing? Is this just sympathy or something else??? 6. Why the officers put their hands on DAD Tauhid's mouth when he was trying to say something to the media ??? So, we can never rull out Army's involvement in the whole event. As we have seen before, the main criminals will never be identified and some poor BDR folks (may be some DADs, jawans will be hanged). Sorry if I hurt anybody by any chance ............ ..
