Siddikur triumphs as Asia’s best golfer
Bangladesh`s golf-sensation Siddikur Rahman stepped up his remarkable rise from ball boy to one of Asia`s best by winning the Negeri Sembilan Masters Invitational in electrifying fashion Sunday.
The 26-year-old from Dhaka soared to victory with two eagles on the back nine at Seremban International Golf Club in Malaysia to finish with a four-round aggregate of 17-under-par 271 and earn a cheque for US$26,230 (S$32,184), reports a news agency.
He fired a final-round seven-under-par 65 for a four-shot victory over Malaysia`s top golfer Danny Chia, who came in with a 70.
Malaysia`s Rashid Ismail and Shaaban Hussin finished a stroke further back after carding rounds of 68 and 70 respectively.
The Negeri Sembilan Masters Invitational boasts prize money of $165,000 and is the most lucrative tournament on the ASEAN PGA Tour.
"Winning this week was my target and I am very happy to have done that," said Siddikur, who goes by just one name.
"This tournament means a lot to me as it was the first tournament I played in Malaysia as a professional three years ago.
"They have invited me back every year and I am very grateful for that," said Siddikur, who is currently in second place on the Asian Tour Order of Merit.
He started the day three behind the leader, Airil Rizman, from Malaysia. While Rizman fell back with a 74 Siddikur got stronger and stronger as the round went on.
He pulled away from the pack on the back nine with an eagle on the par-five 11th, where he hit a five wood to 30 feet, and a birdie on the 14th.
He was comfortably in the lead but there was no letup as he nailed an eagle on the par-five 18th, where his five-wood approach just missed the green.
He chipped in from the edge from 10 yards to seal an emphatic victory.

Police role in question
Al Amin, the lone survivor of Aminbazar mob beating early Monday, told yesterday how he saved his life and that plainclothes police just watched his friends get killed from a couple of yards away.
Traumatised and with injuries all over his body, 17-year-old Al Amin is now at home after he obtained bail on Tuesday in a robbery case filed by Savar police after the dreadful incident. A mob beat to death six students on the night of Shab-e-Barat suspecting them to be robbers.
Since the incident, police has been insisting that the students were out on Keblarchar to rob villagers.
According to Al Amin, on the fateful night he, his friends Towhidur Rahman Palash and Kamruzzaman Kanto offered prayers at Darussalam Furfura Sharif Mosque and met Shams Rahim Shamam, Ibrahim Khalil, Tipu Sultan and Sitaf Jabi Munif when they came to the main road for a walk.
The seven decided to have tehari at Gabtoli and took two rickshaws. Reaching there they changed their mind and decided to spend the night roaming the area and have some fun. So they crossed Gabtoli bridge on foot and went along the Turag river up to Keblarchar.
“We split into two groups and sat by the river. Palash, Kanto and I were together while Shamam, Tipu, Ibrahim and Munif were about 200 yards away. Suddenly, we three heard the other four screaming for help. We thought they were attacked by muggers or robbers.
“We rushed for their help but found hundreds of villagers beating them indiscriminately while about 50 others were coming to attack us calling us robbers,” Al Amin continued.
“We tried to tell them that we were students, not robbers and have come from Darussalam area. But by then, several people swooped on and started beating us up. I heard the assaulting villagers say they had already killed four of us.
“Scared of death, I grabbed the legs of an elderly man and begged for my life but he kept hitting me. Then I spotted plainclothes policemen with shotguns standing there and watching the mob go crazy. I begged them to save my life.”
A policeman then stopped the attackers, he said.
“All of your friends are dead and so will you soon unless you agree to say whatever we want you to say,” said Al Amin quoting the “saviour” policeman as saying.
The policeman asked him to admit that the students had robbed a sand trading post and taken away Tk 5,000. Al Amin agreed. He was then sent to a hospital under police arrangement.
Earlier, police and villagers claimed that there were 14 to 15 “robbers” and the rest of them got away by an engine boat. Police also claimed to have recovered six sharp weapons from the spot.
But Al Amin dismissed the claims saying that there is no question of carrying sharp weapons as they were there just to have fun. He believes that the villagers brought the weapons as the bodies of the six students killed in the incident bore injury marks from sharp weapons.
Al Amin, eldest of two brothers and a sister, supplies fruit juice to shops to help his family.
His father Khabir Bapari, who used to drive a CNG-run-auto rickshaw, told the daily star that he can only afford to admit his son to a hospital but is in no position to bear the cost of the treatment. Moreover, the family is afraid to take him to a hospital since police are against them.

JCD makes comeback on DU campus with procession
Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), the student wing of opposition BNP, made a comeback on the Dhaka University campus after two years of banishment by staging a procession on Saturday morning to press for release of its leaders.
They had been ousted from the DU campus, the hotbed of student-teacher politics, by their rivals in Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student body associated with the ruling Awami League.
The procession began from the foot of Aparajeyo Bangla at about 9am and terminated at Raju Bhaskorjyo where a brief rally was held.
At the rally, the JCD leaders demanded release of their detained central president Sultan Salahuddin Tuku, organizing secretary Anisur Rahman Talukder and DU-unit joint convener Obaidul Haque Nasim.
Dhaka University joint convener Mahidul Hasan Hiru, Nasiruddin Rumon and Mahfuzur Rahman spoke at the rally.

Bangladeshi artist confounds Oxford art critics
By SYED NEAZ AHMAD, NEAZAHMAD@HOTMAIL.COM
Published: Aug 3, 2011 18:00 Updated: Aug 3, 2011 18:00
Salvador Dali, Jahangir Hossain and Henry Moore, Mike Bell and Picasso the cover of Meller Merceux Gallery's magazine The Art Collector is a catalog of 20th century avant garde artists. "Taking a cue from the great Henry Moore, Hossain reflects upon the challenges presented by the modern society", says the gallery curator Kyle Reeves.
We had traveled from London to Oxford to attend the show that was to a great extent encouraged and organized by Runi Khan Khan is a London-based culture activist, founder & CEO of Culturepot Global. Khan has earlier showcased Hossain's work at Asia House in London.
The Oxford Meller Merceux galleries specialize in modern and contemporary art and showcase high profile work. They have a diverse selection of work that ranges from the likes of Picasso, Dali and Chagall, right through to Hepworth, Moore and now Hossain.
The Bangladeshi artist uses a range of media to produce mainly figurative artwork with vibrant colors. His paintings deal primarily with women and nature. His compositions are geometrically compact yet offer the viewer a feeling of great space. He seeks to question where the true path to happiness lies and encourages us to celebrate values, which are of global as well as of individual benefit. The importance of love and the need to respect ourselves, each other and the environment provide the thematic undercurrents of his latest series of works.
Hossain has around 22 years of experience of producing artwork for commissions and has exhibited throughout the world in Africa, India, Pakistan, US, UK, Nepal, UAE and Bangladesh. Though separated by time and distance British art critics and connoisseurs find a unique thread between the work of Hossain and British sculptor Henry Moore.
Meller Merceux director Aidan Meller said that Hossain's interests lay in the relationships we have with one another and the environment in which we live. Through his art he aimed to stimulate reflection on the human condition and the way in which we respond to the world around us. The pervasive influence of technology continued to divert attention away from personal relationships, conducted face to face in real time.
This is a troubling concern for Hossain, who believes strong romantic and familial connections are central to achieving happiness. His work explores this theme using the mother and child motif, as well as couples in loving embrace. The intermingling of forms, where one figure almost dissolves into the flesh of the other, expresses how dependent we are on one another for love, nourishment and comfort. This message is powerfully reinforced through his solo figures, which tend to emit an air of despondent melancholy.
Hossains aim is to translate emotion, the figures as in Moore's work are stylistic rather than realistic. Remaining featureless allows them to transcend individual differences and communicate a universal story: We need love in order to survive.
Another important thread of Hossains work concentrates on the relationship between man and nature. His art reflects that it is vital for this relationship to be harmonious and balanced if it is to improve our sense of happiness and well-being. He is particularly inspired by natures ability to act as a positive, grounding force and this is visually expressed in the form of abstract figures carefully interwoven into the fabric of the landscapes that surround them. The pieces resonate, both in form and ideal, with Moore's whose monumental female figures were designed to reflect the landscape while also becoming part of it, said Aidan Meller.
It was a tribute to Hossain's talent that majority of the 16 paintings on show were snapped up by private collectors days before the exhibition (July 15 - Aug. 15) had been declared open.

ISLAMIST PARTIES IN BANGLADESH ACCUSE TEACHER OF BLASPHEMY
A coalition of pro-Sharia Islamic parties in Bangladesh has threatened the government with a country- wide shutdown if a Hindu teacher is not arrested and tried for blasphemy. Mufti Fazlul Huq Amini, chief of the Islamic Sharia Law Implementation Committee charged that the teacher could allegedly make "such blasphemous remarksbecause “Bangladesh has become a fear-free place for the enemies of Islam." The Islamist leader demanded that Madan Mohan Das, an assistant headmaster at the Dhanmondi Government Boy's High School, be arrested by Sunday or they would be forced to call a country-wide strike, he said Wednesday from his headquarters in Dhaka. Hundreds of students, parents and teachers joined street protests in the capital on Wednesday against Das. The protesters accused the teacher, who is Hindu, a minority religion in the largely Sunni Muslim nation, of making blasphemous comments regarding Muhammad. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Education said that Das had been suspended for his derogatory comments and had been transferred to a remote town.

Get the Blasphemy Law enacted and sort out these Kaffirs!
How dare they do what they feel like in an Islamic country?
Impose the jezia. That will teach them a lesson!
