There have been opportunities to work with scientists in many countries around the world. In a special situation, I became a citizen of Singapore. I worked there.

I told him about my research on the SARS virus and the invention of the kit. I said that, given the opportunity, I would like to do research on the coronavirus in public health. He accepted. I joined the Popular University as president of the Department of Microbiology. I continued researching and teaching. Since the new coronavirus is not new to me, our four-member research team was able to develop antigen and antibody kits in a short period of time. This is a continuation of the SARS virus kit that we developed in Singapore.
Dr. Dr. Bijan Kumar Shil. Jafrullah Chowdhury said: “He called a scientist from Bangladesh to Singapore and granted him citizenship. Using their talents, Singapore and China resisted the SARS virus. And now he came to Bangladesh on his own. Will we not use his talent? Won’t you approve of your made-up gear? Can’t we keep him in this country? Whose loss is it if you leave today? Our loss, the loss of Bangladesh. Dr. There is no harm in life. In many countries around the world, including Singapore, you will be able to work ten times more than here. Millions of unnecessary foreigners are working in Bangladesh. How many of them have a work permit? We are not talking about allowing work without a work permit. I have applied for a work permit. I will definitely get a work permit. ‘

Considering the salary or financial benefits I received while working in an American company from 2008 to 2013, I do not get even one-tenth of the benefits of working in Bangladesh. So the question is, why am I working? I would like to politely say that I still have the opportunity to work in many countries around the world, including Singapore, and will continue to do so in the future. It will be because of my work. Born into a normal family, today I am receiving love from people. I’ve never had the mindset to run after money and I still haven’t. What there is is responsibility. My responsibility to the country and the people of the country ‘- said Dr. Bijan.
“I was born in Bangladesh, Bangladesh is my homeland. I grew up on the muddy soil of this country. I worked in the fields with my father when he was in college. Everything I need to survive in one life, now maybe I have it all. My two sons are studying in Singapore. The wife is taking care of them. Sometimes his wife gets sick. I couldn’t even go see.
