Ruposhi Bangla Betar is a very popular radio station in Sydney among the Bengali community. I recently visited the studio at Paddington and met the producer and director of Ruposhi Betar, Mr. Syed Rafiqul Haque (Sagor) and Assistant Director, Atiqur Rahman. Their program can be heard on the station 89.7 FM at 1-3:00 PM, every Saturday. This program has been broadcasting regularly for the past two years. In this program, they broadcast different Bengali and children’s songs, news, dramas and interviews. Sometimes they broadcast songs sung live by various local artists from Sydney which gives listeners a different taste in music. So, stay tuned on 89.7 FM! We wish Ruposhi Betar success in years to come.  Photos...

Tragic Death of Faheem Bhuiyan

Faheem Bhuiyan’s body has been found after three days of searching on Friday afternoon, around the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. He had been on a boat trip on Tuesday, 25^th January 2005, when the boat had suddenly capsized, tipping the occupants of the boat out and into the sea. The cause of the tragic accident was the fact that the owner of the boat had overloaded it, the boat carrying 50 people, when it was clearly stated on the side that it could only hold 32 passengers.

Faheem, at the age of 23, was the only son of Mr. Momen Bhuiyan of Baulkam Hills. He was a very successful student who graduated from Sydney’s Macquarie University with degrees in actuary and finance. He then moved on and became a financial analyst with Proctor & Gamble in Melbourne.

Faheem’s parents (Mr. And Mrs. Bhuiyan), two sisters (Sharon and Sonia) and brother-in-law Dr. S. Doullah (Topu) are currently in Thailand. They will later go back to Bangladesh, to his home village in Brahminbaria, where they will later bury Faheem there.

A Gaebi Zanaza (in the absence of his coffin) will be held for Faheem at Sefton Mosque on Sunday 30^th January, 2005 after the Zohr prayer at 1:00 pm. All friends, relatives and well-wishers are invited to attend the Zanaza to pray for his departed soul.
