We as voters who supported this government to come to power has lost the confidence at all.We like to know the Minister of Defence and the Primeminister ,which side you all are.Are you on peoples side or MR ,s side.Please explain us.I think if there is an election the people in this country must bring JHU and JVP to power and teach all these thirdclass politicians a lesson that they will never forget.

Son to protect father from electric chair.

Bala Thursday, 26 February 2015 02:20 PM

OMG - is this why we voted to My3 to do stupid things like this. You-shit-a should be behind bars - not in a security detail because of all the antics in the Navy

Gobba Thursday, 26 February 2015 11:42 AM

Probably he is more qualified in this field, since he behaved like a thug on the Rugger field and outside of it too.

Maraya Thursday, 26 February 2015 07:05 PM

How come Yositha still being an officer in SL Navy when he does not have the qualification. Why cant action been taken to remove him by Yahapalanaya, is it only a different rule for Gen.Sarath Fonseka to be adopted by former regiment.

This government is fast becoming the government who let down the people so badly and so quickly. I now have serious doubts about the honesty of our president. I never expected this.

Ira Thursday, 26 February 2015 11:21 AM
