Prioritise stability, equity, ensure rights for all

Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation has said the recent political unrest in Bangladesh is a clear expression for the people's hunger for an inclusive, corruption-free, democratic government, reports UNB.
In a letter to Interim Government's Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, Foundation Chairperson Cecilia L. Lazaro and President Susanna B. Afan said, "May this new chapter in your country's history be defined by stability and not uncertainty; by equity not inequality; and with leadership that upholds the fundamental rights of the common man and not the select few."
"The global community is relieved that the violence and brutality that marked the protests have ended, resulting in the Interim Government which you now head," the letter said.
In his credo, President Ramon Magsaysay firmly said, "I believe that government starts at the bottom and moves upward, for government exists for the welfare of the masses of the nation... I believe that the highest leader in the state should set the example of a big heart, an honest mind, sound instincts, the virtue of healthy impatience and an abiding love for the common man."
"We at the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation offer our sincerest wishes of hope to your Interim Government and the peoples of Bangladesh," the letter reads.
