Only in Sri Lanka can a leader disregard any propriety of behavior by appointing a knowingly biased, Presidential Advisor (Legal Affairs) as the replacement for CJ Shirani Bandaranayake. No one, yes NO ONE in their right mind would do such thing. Yet we have a “devil may care” attitude or “You Dare Me to do otherwise” attitude on the part ...
I was extremely saddened to see the fall from integrity of a business leader who I respected, turning into a lap dog of the administration for favors earned and expected. He is obviously willing to sacrifice his principals, which now I doubt he ever had for personal gain and misplaced expected glory.In the “State of Business” TV program I ...
The Government by its direct action has effectively removed the right to peaceful protest, and thereby any semblance it has so far tried to pretend that we are a democracy.It is with this canard, that we approach the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in November, with lies, duplicitous behavior and pretense that the GOSL (Government of Sri Lanka) is serious ...
We have had a very cunningly constructed plan of power in Sri Lanka, which through the original objective of winning the terrorist war convincingly, has permeated to all aspects of government, to secure a grip that is now a stranglehold. It is in this background, where many of the plans of the government have now been shown to be ...
The appointment of the New Chairman of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)The insult heaped upon the SEC by the President appointing the Chairman of Colombo Land, (he has not even resigned from his post) as the Chairman of the SEC, is bared open for all sensible people to understand that the Govt, does not care a TOSS about investors, ...
In this era of fake news, planted news, manufactured news, nothing is truly what it seems. So to see our Fellow Sinhala Bretheran becoming KULAPPUFIED is the epitome of hilarity, except they have created a FRANKENSTEIN.Even Vijayakala Maheswaran, in her wildest dreams did not realize she will be made a heroine in the North, purely because of a foolish TV ...
The brazen behavior of MBS the Saudi Crown Prince, announcing to the media world that he will not tolerate dissent, by killing a US resident Saudi journalist in Istanbul, has put his erstwhile ally Donald Trump on the spot like never before!As if Trump had no other problems on his hand, and now has to face the midterm elections ...
It is sad to see Sri Lanka turn into a banana republic with only bananas allowed to survive. If one is to believe a BBC Sinhala service report that then threats have infiltrated the corporate world too, where a well known and respected corporate personality had made a death threat via one of her closest friends to convey to ...
Not in my wildest dreams did I believe that RW would score so highly against KJ. In the past few days I highlighted the media campaign launched to back KJ as opposed to the NIL campaign by RW to further his cause. This was obvious because all the media focused on the anti RW people and especially Sirasa TV.So now ...
I was never a fan of Lal’s ownership or Frederica’s Editorship, because both were achieved by dubious and deceitful means that the two aforementioned know. So in a manner of speaking they got what they deserve.However on a different point of media freedom, the threats that owners of media face by the repressive policies of the regime, have muzzled all ...
Just think about it! Dulanjalie Jayakody who was first accused of depositing Rs2M of fake Rs5000 notes at an HSBC in Colombo 7, could never have knowingly done something as silly as that! For all the cash to be fake at that.Any bank where one goes to deposit money checks the authenticity on its machines as one deposits. So no ...
“Aiyo Sirisena” – Oh Yeah O Yeah ! Let it be known that in the PARADISE land of the LOTUS EATERS now known (for how long we are now no longer sure) as SRI LANKA, when faced with embarrassing exposure, the newly elected King of this TEAR DROP ISLAND allowed tears to overflow, and gush once again. He decided to ...
After the WC meeting, the police came in to the room and met Sajith and asked him to speak to his supporters to leave the premises quietly. It was then apparent to all present that Sajith’s goons were the trouble makers who caused the damage to the UNP headquarters and the personal property of the gathered members. Sajith had ...
The manner in which the Government responds to the murder of a tourist is an indication of how serious the Govt. is about developing the Industry. It is obvious that in Sri Lanka actions do not follow the words. There is no follow up to this serious incident and we have not had any comment from either Chairman of ...
He has had his robe removed in public whilst behaving like a hooligan. He got his just deserts, as he asked for it. He is one who has fooled a whole lot of people and now the world will know what we have to deal with; alcoholic monks who pretend to be holier than thou, backed by a traitorous Govt.http://www.theindependent.lk/news2/1850-ven-gnanasara-attacked-at-sirikothaAnd ...
If this is not evidence of the impending implosion of Sri Lanka what is? Why is this State so frightened of criticism if they have nothing to hide or hide from? This attack just announced is the latest wave of attempts to choke the truth. The state is hell bent on repression, as oppression is now defunct and done with.In ...
Interestingly the President was last seen when he arrived to commiserate with Mr Wijedasa Rajapakshe on the 20th morning at his Nawala home following the incident where shots were fired at the latter’s home. He was conspicuous by his absence at the opening of the Baseball field, provided with Japanese assistance in the presence of the Japanese Ambassador at the ...
The power and the cunning of the Government was clear for all to see. Despite the advance notification of a joint press conference, FUTA backed out at the last minute citing that they needed to get the approval of its membership to hold it jointly. – BULL SHITSo now the excuse is that in the interests of the public they ...
Reading Newspaper reports of the UPFA rally, it was a sorry excuse for a May Day rally. There were 5 bus loads of mainly old people on SLTB buses (adding to their losses) with mainly old people and kids being forced to go to Colombo from Jaffna at around 4pm on Monday, April 30th, who returned to base between 10am ...
What hope has Sri Lanka when people believe that the Major made a mistake in implicating Malaka Silva, his friend and the security goons in beating him up? When such an obvious lie is perpetrated after the initial complaints are lodged and the accused are remanded, for people to think otherwise beggars belief. However that is the true condition of ...
