    Singapore or Malaysia did not develop with human right.. Lee Kwan Yew and Dr.Mahathir were kind of DICTATORS in both countries..! But they had a vision for the nation..! They turned that vision in to realities.. See now those counties...! Let MR to do the same..!

    What a great initiative.The other countries too will follow you.

    In Singapore, NO STRICKS ARE ALLOWED: NO POLITICS IN UNIVERSITIES: EVERY CITIZEN MUST COMPLETE THE NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING: FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS LIMITED: EVERY MEDIA HOUSE MUST RENEW LICENSES EVERY YEAR: NO OPPOSITION PARTY OR LEADER ..! How nice...!!!

    rathnasiri Thursday, 13 January 2011 10:48 AM

    Yes, everyone talk that we want to become like Singapore Malaysia.. It is very good indeed..! But the question is does any one want to follow the laws like in those counties..?

    efficiency?! - then firstly the executive presidency and the parliamentary system should be changed.

    Roshan Thursday, 13 January 2011 10:25 AM

    This corrupted Dehiwela MC should scrapped, this council has no consistency , even the building plans are approved in adhoc manner. Some are allowed to raise more than 5 floors were as others are not allowed go beyond 4.

    Please don't even think of making like Delhi, they made a mockery of things when organizing the recently held Commonwealth Games.

    wara Thursday, 13 January 2011 09:26 AM

    EXACTLY !!!!

    Fairose Thursday, 13 January 2011 09:12 AM

    Mr.President, do you mean to say, the other Municipal and urban councils are more efficient?

    local boy Thursday, 13 January 2011 09:06 AM
