    The country is not the land, sea and rivers. It is the people and democracy. We know from whom these have to be protected. Thanks for reminding me of these dangers.

    JK Hatton Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:02 PM

    In the name of the motherland, you bring devastation to the people of the country.

    shan Tuesday, 01 January 2019 02:54 PM

    All Sri Lankans united to protect the motherland for your illegal occupation

    Arith Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:04 PM

    We were not divided it's you politicians are still making attempts to divide.

    Sunil Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:04 PM

    The real threat to our country is poverty, economic deprival to weaker sections of society, favoured status to certain people and deprivation of equal rights to all citizens. It is no use talking history, creating communal rifts and neglecting these. Every Sri Lankan has a right for equal rights, prosperous future and excellent education.

    Jude Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:06 PM

    NEVER forget to play the "Jathie arlay" card!! Wow!!! At least he's consistent !!??

    BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:08 PM

    We need to protect this "motherland from enemy forces" like you, who sing this baila to cover your own crooked agenda, mass corruption, criminality, racism

    Sumedha Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:10 PM

    Yes we know who are the enemy and we will not vote for those. We wish you take rest from now.

    Borat Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:11 PM

    MR please note enemy forces is the one and only you who gets other losers to join you to fleece the country and people by trying to fool people by spreading lies always.People note the enemy is within this monster. Even your family won’t be spared by the evil within you . Saw what happened to your son. Repent and vanish from politics for the good of the nation. Curses come home to roost . All the squandered trillions won’t save family and you

    mcreng2020@gmail.com Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:12 PM

    I wonder what sort of enemy he is talking about.He wants to create enemies for his own political survival.When will be the end for these puppets...

    gamini Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:15 PM

    enemy forces- internal or external?

    Marcian Chris Tuesday, 01 January 2019 12:27 PM

    A very vague New Year Message - What enemy forces from within or without?

    palitha Tuesday, 01 January 2019 01:49 PM

    As we can see our politicians are our own enemy and you are number 1 enemy we don't have external enemies but yes local enemies like you and your clan please don't try to divide our country over and over again you are talking about dividing the country this is your main political slogan to mislead the people

    Mithula Tuesday, 01 January 2019 01:50 PM

    Firstly we have to protect the country from currupt politicians.Then the enemy will be automatically defeated.

    Dee Tuesday, 01 January 2019 02:15 PM

    The Supreme Court saved the motherland from 'enemy forces' thank you for reminding us of the bitter past.

    Janawarjana Tuesday, 01 January 2019 02:26 PM

    Please go home and watch the film: "A Beautiful Mind", of course the film is not on shrewed guy like you, it is on Professor John Nash. But unfortunately he also suffered with a mental disorder at his old age, exactly similar to you, psychologically enticed with an hypothetical enemy characters.

    Samantha Tuesday, 01 January 2019 02:34 PM

    Never changing "Manthra" of MR. Wow..Enemy..Whose? Your family's may be!

    IVJ Tuesday, 01 January 2019 02:36 PM

    MR, please read the comments from the ordinary citizens of our country. We don't need you anymore. If you really love our country and genuinely want to protect our motherland, please return all the money you goons looted back to the people.It is simple math....Your (current total wealth) minus (family inheritance legitimately earned money) is what you have to return ! That should be in the tune of USD 4~5 billion !

    Ruwan Tuesday, 01 January 2019 03:07 PM

    We Srilankans are our own enemy as long as we keep appointing politicians who tends to gather populat votes on the lines of racism, ethnicity and religion.

    wimal Tuesday, 01 January 2019 03:16 PM

    Dangerous enemies are whoever bring 20th amendment which paves the way to independent states with majority of different single communities which will happen in South also.You can see enemies in near future.

    Enemy force Tuesday, 01 January 2019 04:02 PM

    ... is the virtual Bud leader.

    Sunil Tuesday, 01 January 2019 04:19 PM

    Yes we will unite to protect our country and send you Rajapaksa Criminal to jail...

    raj Tuesday, 01 January 2019 05:15 PM

    Most Tamils think that those who committed war crimes are the one enemy of the country. What is your definition sir?

    GH Tuesday, 01 January 2019 05:32 PM

    Sir, as long as you are blessed with longevity we are proud to say that we are SRI LANKAN.

    Nimal Tuesday, 01 January 2019 06:14 PM

    Are there any other ememy force here other than MR/MS/RW forces? Now, out of these forces from which should we safeguard our country?

    Sach Tuesday, 01 January 2019 06:48 PM

    Agents of the enemies have commented here

    Ghost Tuesday, 01 January 2019 06:54 PM

    And who are these enemy forces, pray tell! As far as we Sri Lankans know the only enemy force we have to contend with Is the Rajapaksa brigade!!!

    Don Juwan Tuesday, 01 January 2019 07:27 PM

    Hope all Sri Lankans will unite to protect motherland from the enemy: MR2019-01-01 11:01:10

    Lanka Shantha. Tuesday, 01 January 2019 08:35 PM

    I clearly say you and your friends are the enemy forces. If you people are quite, then the country will move forward. From the day one you people are saying throw the Government. Now once again your government is thrown. God is there. He will decide on you people.

    Ghan Tuesday, 01 January 2019 08:48 PM

    Who are enemy forces you are talking about??? First you politicians are biggest enemy of the country in dividing people for your own political benefits. Please spread a peaceful message to the people instead of always talking lies about dividing the country.

    Dimuthu Tuesday, 01 January 2019 09:07 PM

    Enemy forces is your family's corruption and lawlessness in your rule. So yes, keeping you away from power is the only way to protect our motherland.

    DillonDP Wednesday, 02 January 2019 08:58 AM

    Which is your gang and the government. It is time the people think of a paradigm shift on future policy makers whilst prioritising on education if we are to survive.

    Charlie brown Wednesday, 02 January 2019 09:23 AM

    What and who are these enemy forces ...where are they .You talk about them as if only you can see them .For you enemy forces are anyone who disagrees with you .Anyone who wants freedom for all Sri Lankans not just the ruling elite .Anyone who wants to promote good governance and transparency ....are these the enemies you talk of ...because these are all the things you are against
