Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's formation of the cabinet was hailed as a pack of surprises. Her move to install women in important cabinet positions was acclaimed as it was a bold move. But their performances so far have been depressing.
One example is Foreign Minister Dipu Moni who was thought to be a knowledgeable person. True, she is a physician and has a degree from Johns Hopkins, but her performance so far has been lamentably poor.
She has embarrassed the country by making uninformed and irresponsible comment about Malaysia. She said that Malaysia's decision to revoke visas of the Bangladeshi workers was linked to Kuala Lumpur's opposition to Bangladesh putting the war criminals to trial.
Does the foreign minister know about ILO's warning that more than 50 million workers globally will be thrown out of employment because of the global economic meltdown. Malaysia is a country hit hard by the meltdown and it will certainly not sacrifice its own workers to accommodate foreign workers.
Dipu Moni has caused irreversible damage to bilateral ties between Malaysia and Bangladesh with her ill judged statement. Malaysia has strong financial, political and diplomatic clout with world capitals. Bangladesh may have to lose the Malaysian labour market because of such indiscretion.
The European workers are demonstrating to protest the presence of migrant workers. They are asking the governments to deport all jobless migrants. The United States has kept in abeyance the issuance of HI-B visas given to skilled workers and asked companies receiving cash from the government to axe foreign workers first before laying off American workers.
Besides, her silence of the foreign minister over Myanmar erecting barbed wire fencing and amassing its troops along Bangladesh border is mysterious.
Home Minister Sahara Khatun practically witnessed the mindless killing inside BDR headquarters. She unwittingly allowed a gruesome act being enacted by not asking to see the senior army officers before dealing with the rebels.
These are the performance records of two most important cabinet ministers of Sheikh Hasina.
