  # 2010 midnight. The decision came at a cabinet meeting at the Prime
  # Minister's Office last night..."
  
! # From Danvin Ruangchan (2009-12-24):
! # ...the news mentions DST will be turned off again 7 months after March
! # 31st on Oct 31, 2010.
! 
! # From Arthur David Olson (2009-12-26):
! # Indeed, "The government will advance again the Banglasdesh Standard
! # Time by one one hour on March 31 next year by enforcing the Daylight
! # Saving Time (DST) for seven months. It will continue till October 31
! # until further notice." I take that last sentence as the
! # establishment of a rule.
! 
! # From Nobutomo Nakano (2010-02-19):
! # We received a report from Bangladesh saying that the start/end of
! # Bangladesh DST is incorrect. Currently we have only the Bengali version
! # of the official mail from BTRC which describes the following:
! #
! # "From 2010 each year when local standard time is about to reach
! # March 31 at 10:59:00 PM clocks are turned forward 1 hour (11:59:00 PM)
! # and when local daylight time is about to October 31 at 11:59:00 PM
! # clocks are turned backward 1 hour (10:59:00 PM)."
! #
! # So, DST will start/end 1 minute earlier.
! 
! # From Arthur David Olson (2010-03-03):
! # The file
! # <a href=http://www.cabinet.gov/bd/file_upload/news_events/en_169.pdf>
! # http://www.cabinet.gov/bd/file_upload/news_events/en_169.pdf
  # </a>
! # is in Bengali; it does contain two "31"s as well as two "11.59"s and a "10.59"
! # which is consistent with the information provided by Nobutomo Nakano.
