BANGLADESH NATIONAL BUDGET 2005-2006

This site promises live webcasting of the national budget. But I am only getting a running text commentary of short notes. No pictures are coming. In the first hour I discovered:

The good:

* For encouraging higher education tax rebate on Books and Journals.

The bad:

* Fixed tax for a mobile phone SIM Card will be Taka 1200.

And the ugly:

* The period for whitening black money is extended up to June 2006.

Scary. Saifur Rahman did not keep the promise and favored the persons who piled wealth through corruption, political favoritism and extorting money from the poor and by giving chance to legalize their loot.
