Designing a formula to prepare Bangladesh for the post-multi-fibre arrangement (MFA) era will be his first task if elected, MA Awal, one of the presidential candidates of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) polls, said yesterday.Awal, also chairman of Prime Group of Industries, said honest and competent leadership is required for the FBCCI to compete after 2004. "To avoid rivalry and division among businesspeople I have decided not to take part in the election with any panel," said Awal at a pre-election press briefing held at Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) auditorium. However, Awal hoped qualified directors will come through the election. He also hoped the government will not make any interference in the FBCCI election. MA Awal, also president of Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA), also called for more reform in the electoral process of the FBCCI. The election to the country's apex trade body will be held on Monday.
