Dhaka, July 18 (UNB) – One-hundred members of Bangladesh Navy, who have been recruited by Coast Guard and Border Security Department of Qatar on deputation, will leave here for the country soon.

A programme was held at Navy Headquarters on Wednesday to bid farewell to the sailors, according to a release of ISPR.

Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral ZU Ahmed, who attended the programme as the chief guest, termed the appointment of Bangladeshi sailors as milestone, saying that the members of Bangladesh Navy for the first time are going to work in Qatar.

ZU Ahmed asked the sailors to discharge their duties properly while working in Qatar to uphold the image of Bangladesh Navy as well as the country.

A special munajat was also offered seeking good health and success of the Qatar bound sailors.

Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (operations) Rear Admiral M Farid Habib and other navy officers were also present.

As long as they keep out of politics, I personally don't see why this is bad. They get good salary, good for Bangladesh economy. They get good training and overseas experience of working with armed forces of many different nations. All seems positive. We just need to make sure no repeat of MUA/FUA rule for 2 years.

Disagree with you on this one. Once foreign money introduced loyalty to the nation become shaky and point of foreign influence is introduced. We have seen that during 1/11 Bangladesh army listened to UN dictate than commander in chief. With such behavior our enemy can just throw money and army will not move to protect the national interest. Are we not seeing that today? This is classic case of mercenary force. Besides, mission of defence force is not earning money and build economy; their duty is protect the country. Training can not be an excuse for the greater damage it causing, there are other ways to get enhance training, like joint exercise.

Very valid points. The practical problem is how do we stop it, as it seems to have become like a birth right of all armed forces personnel to wait for their chance to go on these overseas duty. What will happen if some govt. want to take it away?

Well there's a way. Pay them more. Army officers earn less than domestic helpers and chauffeurs nowadays.
