While claiming that he is not a ‘Super Hero’, Minister Mervyn Silva’s son Malaka said on Tuesday that the recent attack on him was a planned attempt to assassinate him.

“It is a shame that a group of 12-men attacked me. I am not a super hero, like in films,” Malaka Silva said in an audio clip released to the media.

This IS called KARMA.... what your did for MUNESHWARAM TEMPLE.......... NOW MUNESHWARA TAKING REVENGE TO YOUR FAMILY....

Bunker Buster Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:49 AM

Malaka Silva does not sound like a person beaten up by twelve assailants. This is a staged act to seek special permission from courts to carry more weapons and to boost personal security further sighting apparent "threats" to his life.

Tony Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:57 AM

It is a conspiracy by the father and the son

After all as one said boys are boys

Actions and the words they use depicts that

the drama is set up by their own boys

Travis Wednesday, 31 July 2013 09:05 AM

@Saman : lol.... so true. @Malaka .... do us a favor n complete the job they failed at... SUICIDE... you'll become a legend!!!!

Ruhunu Kolla Wednesday, 31 July 2013 09:14 AM

Next time take your father as the body guard . "aka galen kurullo dennama ivarai "

malta Wednesday, 31 July 2013 09:17 AM

This is the simple warning has given Nalaka, so therefore, from now on be cautious, and calm down urself. if not same thing will happen to mervin silva. I hope so.

Silva de Mervin Wednesday, 31 July 2013 09:19 AM

No mate it was you who hit yourself!!!

The God Father Wednesday, 31 July 2013 09:32 AM

I totally agree with Bunker Buster's comment.
This is well planned drama directed by Dad and son, also this is to get more publicity.
My advise for the boat people is if you dont get refugee status in Australia please go and settle in PNG.

What a loss to the Nation if you were assasinated. Now you can run for the next elections.

Observer Wednesday, 31 July 2013 11:38 AM

All the signs of a self directed drama.

The Gov. will declare a mourning day.LOL

HEWASUNIL Thursday, 01 August 2013 10:38 AM

MALAKA SHOULD TELL US ....." YOU MAY KILL ME BUT DO NOT ASSASSINATE MY IMPECCABLE CHARACTER !"

AP Friday, 06 September 2013 02:18 PM

Nonsense, this is powered by higher powers. Current, silence tells us that.

kumara Wednesday, 31 July 2013 07:57 AM

Dalu Banda Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:16 AM

He understand the things

Don Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:21 AM

No, it was a drama directed by you guys. Who wants to kill useless buggers and go to jail.

raspi Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:22 AM

It is more like they tried to scare the hell out of you and give you a warning. if they wanted to kill you I don't think 12 guys would have failed. not like you are a big fighter ne. you win because people are afraid of our thugs not you.

Tintin Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:33 AM

Hope you'd see the truth soon.

jayantha silva Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:51 AM

Good publicity stunt.

Saman Wednesday, 31 July 2013 05:21 AM

Truth already he knows. the reason behind this attack and who done this in some web sites..

suni21 Wednesday, 31 July 2013 07:43 AM

In case if they killed you and rape your girl friend , I am sure I won’t a case like the British tourist case in face of law, sorry we missed the comparison

Ranjith Silva Wednesday, 31 July 2013 07:45 AM

I agree with saman. One gets what one does.

Bodarayia Wednesday, 31 July 2013 07:48 AM

KILL THIS BLOODY DOG FOR GOD SAKE

saradiyal Wednesday, 31 July 2013 07:53 AM

I wouldn't think people will waste lot of effort killing a doggy.

sandman Wednesday, 31 July 2013 07:56 AM

Probably another Drug Lord wanting to move into new territory

Roy Wednesday, 31 July 2013 07:57 AM

Reap what is sown, why blame?

Saman Wednesday, 31 July 2013 02:09 AM

Pity they failed!

Harry Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:00 AM

I think they did it within them selfs to seek attention

wilkie Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:03 AM

Need publicity and sympathy to contest a seat in the next elections.

Miaman Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:06 AM

Looking at te comments, it shows how popular you are and how many have sympathy for you. You and your father would be much more popular if they had finished you off.

raj Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:26 AM

he is the super villian, like in films

Ranjith Silva Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:29 AM

OMG!.Why they cant do a job properly?

siva Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:29 AM

Is this an attempt to assassination? according to the dictionary it means killing of important or famous person but this guy is completely opposite, killing a dog may be bad but not him. now magnificent dozen careful they already identify you,CCTV is not clear means mervin may send his drug addicts behind you.

Sherlock & watson Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:31 AM

Would have been a great loss to the world;-)

lost lankan Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:42 AM

deserves this treatment in full stock and barrel for his past karma.

ratata giya kala Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:44 AM

The price you have to pay by terrorizing other people is you will never be able to sleep in peace, You will always have to watch your back, This is the message they delivered to you, If they wanted to kill you, They would have done it easily. Ordinary people may be scared of your antiques but sooner or later you are going to harvest what you sow. Looks like army has never forgotten what you have done. Do not underestimate the guts these guys showed by attacking you in public knowing very well who you are.

It is a very humiliating experience to be beaten by somebody. Do not use that feeling for revenge.
Power and money will not last forever. It is still not too late to identify the true human values and sort your life for your own good.

Bing Kunda Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:44 AM

It was a stunt to get publicity to your loving dad's legs!

ravi Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:44 AM

Only person can attack you is Mr Namal so be carful noting recorded in CCTV camera .

Saj Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:47 AM

Malaka got a very short memory. Reason he got bashed because he assaulted a girl at Odel. She is the GF of one of the presidents body guards.
