Bangladesh Economic & Infrastructure Development - Updates & Discussions

[Tom-tom]

Yup most of Asia (maybe except Japan, Korea and Taiwan) aren't past the development phase where light engineering is a big export sector.

For China, it constitutes not only large factories and companies making motorbikes, but their small mom and pop companies who make sub-assembly parts for those motorbikes, such as wheels, springs, headlight assemblies, speed indicators, carburetors, handles, kick starter assemblies etc. Same for bicycles, flashlights, Locks, hand-tools (all the parts you can buy in Bongshal/old Dhaka) as well as pots/pressure cookers.

In the seventies and eighties, Japan (and later Korea and Taiwan in the nineties) was in that light engineering revolution. Today China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam (as well as Bangladesh) are in those fields. But China is gradually moving past that stage while the others like Thailand and Indonesia have not. The only reason China is still in that phase is because of the almost unstoppable supply of low cost labor compared to smaller countries.

Some Chinese refer to their own country as the 'middle country ' due to not ALL it's people having a standard of living comparable to the developed world.

So I don't know how the Vietnamanese think of themselves as a fully developed country

Similar to how some Bangladeshis think we are "rich" now......

Pristine landscape and waters, looks strikingly different than the concrete jungles of Dhaka and Chittagong.

@Michael Corleone @Bilal9 lmaoooo look at this, we gave the project to an Indian company and now they're delaying it out of sheer incompetence and baniyagiri.


Don't know what they were thinking, when they handed the project to an Indian company.

Where is this rail line, bd should look at getting bd construction engineering firms to increase its competence and capabilities by by getting them to do foreign partnerships in these projects.

It's no good having all these pricey projects done without increasing the hdi, or skills of bangladeshi people.

If bangladeshi companies can't trusted, then bd gov should put in a policy that the foreign company must employ 30℅ of bangladeshi top graduates and professionals in the field.

This should have been the impetus not today, but two decades ago. But who will listen?

Haramkhors can steal a portion of the proceeds, but ignorant idiots should at least get the basics tied up and arranged properly, meaning local skill upgradation. We must be the easiest stupid f*cks to sell stuff to. Even some African countries look at us and laugh at how we give away the farm every time a deal is struck.

Neighboring country is so good at getting everything they bargain for, half the time the deals are a no-go situation and have to be started over. But at least they bargain extremely well...

Our gandoo ministers are such incompetent f*cks....

Unbelievable. Remember the Bengali proverb, "Bald person does not go twice under the wood-apple tree...." (Nara beltolai duibar jaina). But we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again...

I don't think buet uni existed then, or made a name for it's self in the country.

What we call BEUT today has been operating as an engineering college since 1908 under the name Ahsanullah engineering college, originally founded in 1876 as the Dhaka Survey School.

Simple. They were thinking of stealing

Nepalis praising Bangladeshi products, this video was shot in 2018, our presence in the Nepalese market has only since increased.


The government to government level relations are also at an all time high and are only going to get better now, there any many aggrements in place including but not limited to allowing Nepal to use our ports, roads and riverine ports to import and export goods.

Sorry to pull off a Maajid Nawaz/Sam Harris here but upon watching the video my subconscious mind told me right away that when it comes to BD products, Nepalis are indulging in "soft bigotry of low expectations".

The products discussed here are far from top quality ( Hatil may be an exception, idk) but apparently competing Indian products are worse.

Nepalis are not very rich, so I don't think they are into nitpicking, besides they import stuff from India, surely ours are better than Indian products.


Indian products are like what the people stereotype made in china products to be like but a whole lot worse.


Sam Harris is a right wing islamophobic biggot.

Toyota is king, out 10 privately owned cards 7 or 8 will be Toyotas, that have been modified to use CNG instead of petrol.



This graphic though for a car sale platform called Bikroy.com will still give you some perspective.

Of course, rich politicians have their imported Mercedes Sedans and SUVs, some travel in BMWs.

And rich kids have exotic cars, just like rich kids in any other country.
