You name will be recorded in Sri Lankan history as one of the few greatest leaders. BTW to see good one need to have good within.

The President poorer by Rs 2,92,500.00. It's time for a Salary Increment for the President.

Excellent, Mr. President, your example! It is, however sad to see that the President is only paid a paltry sum of less than Rs.100,000 a month!! PB should have made his contribution even before he made the suggestion -he is still silent. Time Ministry secretaries and other heads followed suit.
