Bio
Mohammed Sarwar Alam Chowdhury
Though I was in the business section during my 14-year journey with The Daily Star, while Wasim was in the general news section; but he was one of the best reporter I had seen. Any organization specially a media house would be lucky to have Wasim not only as a journalist, but also as a leader or manager. Wasim will be a valuable asset to any company. He earns my highest recommendation.
