Outgoing President Mahinda Rajapaksa arrived at his hometown Medamulana around 3.00 p.m. this evening. Many people were gathered at his home to welcome him. Mr. Rajapaksa said he would not leave the country but settle in Medamulana.

He thanked the Hambantota people who voted for him and said the people from North and East didn’t vote for him. (Sanath Gamage)

You are our National Treasure ... Mr Mahinda Rajapakse we will never ever forget how you saved ourlittle mother Land.

Mr. President . You did your best where as others didn’t. We as people also should be responsible when selecting the people in to power. Those people didn’t live up to the expected level where it affected you as well. You gave us a new image, new thinking, a desire to love this nation. We wish you good luck and hope you will continue to serve this country.

Reader Saturday, 10 January 2015 01:17 PM

May all triple bless you. People voted for Mr M Sirisena because of the scare they experienced in numerous ways. Not that they didn't remember the past and your fullest effort towards the peace and victory of war. Even they voted to Mr Sirisena they keep you in their hearts lovely

Life is full of boredom with out you. Newspapers will be short of stories. You will be a come back kid.

Wickrama Saturday, 10 January 2015 01:07 PM

We know that MR enjoyed wealth of the nation much with his family. 88% Sinhalese voted new president and Only 12% Tamils and Muslims voted HE President Maithreepala Sirisena. We respect war heroes of Three Forces and Police not this person.

ruwan Saturday, 10 January 2015 12:51 PM

Dear SirYou are grate Leader , we respect your effort that mad to destroy terrorist but later you your government not listen to other, there was a desperate need of god governess , but you neglected and allowed your subordinates to do any corruption and allow the to brake country low , that why majority voted against you!

thankful Saturday, 10 January 2015 03:06 AM

Hon. Sir:I write to thank you for the way you handled the war. Not one of the western leaders have been able to put an end to terrorism. But you did it.Do not make the mistake of grouping around you people who brought about your down-fall. Choose people who are sincerely wanting to help the country and you will be o.k.

melsovish Saturday, 10 January 2015 02:57 AM

You were a good president. If only you did not Rob the country of money for the next five Rajapaksa generations you would have been a great president.Do some charity with the money you got for the country, many poor people in your home town.

Waco Saturday, 10 January 2015 02:57 AM

Thugs , and people like Namal ruined you.

kanchana Saturday, 10 January 2015 02:55 AM

Your name Mahinda Rajapaksa will never fade from our memories..Even after 1000 Years the future generations will learn about the great leader like we did about King Dutugemunu. .May the Triple Gem always be with youWe are with you.

Vijay Saturday, 10 January 2015 02:43 AM

You done a marvellous thing by eradicating terror But you polarised the society rather than reconciling with the vanquished

slwala Saturday, 10 January 2015 02:28 AM

Sir, my buddy, I have known you since we were young fellows although I have not been in SL for the past 42 yrs.; but I have been following your advancement quite happily. Sri Lankans entrusted you to deliver peace and stability which you did so very well and Sri Lankans are grateful for that, and you could have excelled further if had you not been associated with some of the political blunders leading Sri Lanka towards a lawless nation.

Herby Padmaperuma. Saturday, 10 January 2015 01:17 AM

Mr. Mhainda, yours is not actually a defeat the arrival to a terminal fate had cast upon you. You ccoud be provide and satisfied that your served th country and the people to the best of your aility, however until your SIBLINGS INTREVENED IN YOUR AFFAIRS and tempted you to take undue advantage of your powerful postion and the flthy lucre for selfish concentration of power and wealth was your downfall. Gota and Basil destroyed your at he cst of their making millions of peoples money. Your disgraceful thannahava cost you your final downfall. You had two peaceful years ahead .Nowwithstanding that you were greedy to accumulate 8 more years.. You proved to the world the Buddhist paradigm "Thannawa Jatahi Soko. Nevertheless you are a decent erfect gentleman. As a Senior Citizen we wish your Good by and long liffe, in retirement.

simbo Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:56 PM

You did your job well in the first term. You shown a wrong path in your second term. Thank you very much for saving the country from terrorism. You will go down in the history. You should have also abolished corruptions from your ministers.Wish you all the best in your retirement.

Dilshan Sunday, 11 January 2015 09:06 AM

Hassan Aun Saturday, 10 January 2015 11:47 PM

In my opinion youre the best president we ever had and ever will. Unfortunately lately you did things not good for SL. We are sorry to send you of. In democracy we dont know any other ways. Your downfall came within your family and BBS. All this now past and you did proved to all of us even in last minute youre gentlemen and did transfer power smoothly. Now you made the Line for future generation democratic process should be smooth. Enjoy rest of the life in peace coz you gave SL a peace from LTTE.

Sri Lankan Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:51 PM

In my opinion youre a disgrace to the country though youve eliminated terrorism. You did everything possible to come back to power. Finally everything failed. Now trying to be a saint. Suppose you've won We can surely predict what would happen by looking at your previous experiences. Sorry I had to say what I had to say... via DM Android App

If only he stopped nepotism, corruption, plundering, and punished drug dealers, etc, etc, he could have been the president for life !

BuffaloaCitizen Saturday, 10 January 2015 02:40 PM

So priority in constructing an International Airport in Hambantota at millions of dollars and which is already a white elephant to the country while it takes 2 hours to travel from Morotuwa to Fort is correct. Your logic is as good as his.

The power to speak, the power comment, the power to live,What a lot of frustration these guys have taken every citizen of ri Lanka.He i defeated, still have freedom, until he i tried by the legal system in Sri Lanka.. But do you remember how they seized the five star hotel, dragged the true war hero like a dog to the jeep.. etc etc. etc...

Saraa Goyya Friday, 09 January 2015 08:45 PM

Mr. Ex-President, had you agreed to abolish "Executive Presidency" you would have won the 3rd term.

Hon. Sir. Thank you for ending the war. I wish you took more time bring harmony amongst the minority communities and build a stronger Sri Lanka.
