Where does he get the funds to pay the expensive hospital bills and treatment in Singapore? The gutless opposition should inquire into this.

Really!!? We were under the impression that the worm was in hospital under prison custody? Why did he come back if he had to go? Who is paying for all this jet setting?

Calistus Jayatilleke Saturday, 09 March 2013 08:53 AM

Surely there should be some maximum time period one can get leave and not until one goes on pension.

Dumenda S Sunday, 10 March 2013 12:00 AM

Atleast he should remember his name before getting paid leave

Lal Sunday, 10 March 2013 10:11 AM

Looks like there is no limit or maximum for this leave, similar to the immense and incalculable other perks enjoyed by MPs in Sri Lanka.
