This is a bit off the track. What about the military and police vehicles with drivers in uniform parked near school to pickup school kids. Is that ok?

Do you know how and why the LTTE was able to wage war against a sovereign state for 37 years? It's because of ungrateful, unpatriotic, self centered individuals like you!

This is absurd. Is this a crime .Stupid government spending taxpayers money .Go after the so called big fish

The Government is arresting people with minor offences, but the politicians who stole the country are free. As a country we have two laws. one for the politicians and more powerful people and the other for the general public like you and me

I agree with you, they have deals and they are scared

Did they get MS's permission? A total disgrace to harass a person who has given lifelong service. What misuse of vehicle????
