I found many foreign investments willing to invest in Bangladeshi Radio station. This intuition is like Vice versa because, if outlandish radio station plants in Bangladesh, most often they will try to bring their culture in Bangladesh. Most often they will manipulate/mixed up their culture with Bangladeshi culture that is not praise-worthy anymore. The Bangladesh government should have a regulation about this concern.
