By Dr. S.Chandrasekharan.
The judiciary continues to be the weakest link in Maldives in its march towards democracy. Except for the opposition MDP, no other political party appears to be concerned by the poor performance of the judiciary.

Bangladesh is a country poised to take off economically. True, there are serious issues of corruption, governance, shortage of power and law and order situation. None of these things are new. It will take time and patience to rectify these challenges. But if any one demands an ideal situation he is surely going to be disappointed. But these have to be addressed urgently also. It calls for realism also.
