Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe left for Singapore this afternoon with a delegation of six members to attend the ‘Invest Sri Lanka' forum organized by the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).

A statement issued from the Prime Minister’s office yesterday said Mr. Wickremesinghe was due to deliver the Keynote address at the event.

The CSE had organized similar forums in countries such as Australia, USA, New Zealand, UAE, India, Switzerland and Hong Kong in the past.

Great excuse to discuss strategy with partner in crimes in his own backyard

Bad time to attract investors with political instability and loss to UNP and govt at LG polls.

Ceylon Thursday, 01 March 2018 03:27 PM

Learn from them how to run a clean government.

We pray that it should be your last official trip. Good luck...

Oh good.... you are going to hide your good old friend A.M. in Singapore or you will arrange him to go to Dubai.

Wish they keep him and teach him how a country can be run effectively and also teach him honesty.

Martin Milton Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:00 PM

Ideally some people need to visit Singapore to see if he is visiting his Bond scam mega thief! It certainly looks as if this might be one of his intentions or at least meeting up with the Bond scam thief's pals there. MM

Interpol agent Mr.Ranil we believe you can do this task..bringing back mahendran...take sagala as well..so you wcan have some good time there

Mandayan Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:09 PM

Are you all going to look out for Arjuna Mahendran?

johan Thursday, 01 March 2018 09:41 PM

This is like Marapana went to bring Udyanga from Dubai

Unchikun Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:25 PM

Make hay while the sun shines. We do not expect any positive results judging by the performance during the last 3 years.

Voter Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:27 PM

Ranil with the "foot note"gang may be going after receiving a call from the buddy

Haramanis Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:29 PM

Hope you are taking some thugs with you to bring Mahendran back!!

De Silva Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:34 PM

Subject of keynote address: How to rob CB of Singapore

Rohan Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:43 PM

Why dont you fix economic barriers in Sri Lanka before you guys touring the world for investor forums. Not only this MS government but also previous MR government days CSE toured the world and wasted our tax money. No investors came.

Clueless Thursday, 01 March 2018 04:43 PM

MR just arrived after a temple visit. He seem to be in the pre power routine. Hope the PM could get the stock market and economy moving.

Ranil has gone for a very expensive tea party paid by the tax payers. What does Ranil know about investments.

Nalla Thambi Thursday, 01 March 2018 05:37 PM

It is OK, meet your buddy there and bring him back to Sri Lanka. People are watching every move.

mk Thursday, 01 March 2018 06:47 PM

Say "hi" to mahendran pl

Senaka Thursday, 01 March 2018 07:01 PM

After a short break he is back to his old routine of traveling the world at tax payers expense with the illusion of doing something positive for our country. Who are you kidding?

Gamaya Thursday, 01 March 2018 07:49 PM

Make hay whilst the sun shines.Time to meet your buddy Mahendran up there.

Citizen Thursday, 01 March 2018 09:30 PM

Please stay with your buddy Mahendran and don't come back.

johan Thursday, 01 March 2018 09:39 PM

May be he has forgotten to handover the law and order min istry to someone

sujata Friday, 02 March 2018 11:48 AM

How much investment was received as a result of the CSE organizing similar forums in countries such as Australia, USA, New Zealand, UAE, India, Switzerland and Hong Kong in the past.Almost NIL.Why then waste tax payers money in these visits

uditha Friday, 02 March 2018 11:49 AM

FDI will come only if there is a stable govt. and democracy, freedom of press, efficient public service and independent media. then investment follows on its own. No need to waste tax payers money on these trips

Buls Friday, 02 March 2018 11:52 AM

Dont forget to have a glass of beer with AM and also to crack some jokes saying " lankawe minissunta pissu aneeee " .....and " Owa ganan ganna epa"......

Leonard P Friday, 02 March 2018 05:28 PM

Good time catch up with buddy AM and put his mind at ease and give him assurance that he will personally look after Aloysius.
