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.
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.
Robert ============ ========= ========= ===== Why the general mass in the villages want army to make list and distribution of items of Vulnerable Group Feeding (VGF) program? don't our govt has its machines to do that? why the people beg the army to carry out the relief and rehabilitation after a natural disaster forgetting the representatives of the govt they elected? Anyway, the list is not exhaustive. My point is simple: just a request to you all educated persons to be sane enough to comment.
You may ask me, "what is the authenticity of the examples and prose that have eaten up our precious time reading this mail?" 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.
