    Ranil, in the interest of our nation please resign as the PM and allow a youngster to take over your job. Think about the country before you think about your own benefit.

    "Banks in this country had not assisted the SMEs the way we expected" So, are you going to fix the problem by hiring experts from Singapore? What a joker!!!
