He should be given one of those honorary degrees, from say Myanmar, for turning our respected Parliament into a 'fish-market'!

You too ? At this age ? Great examples set by senior politians for our future generations. It seems hardly any, stick to principals & policies that they beleive in. Sad, mother Sri Lanka.
