    There is an old Sinhala saying : " Shamelessness is bigger than the Mudliyarship". Hakeem is a good example of that saying.

    Reports say it was in operation for sixty years?

    Concerned Sunday, 29 April 2012 03:17 PM

    Mervyn,

    Can you provide all these information for your house that you are living now?
    or for all those buddhist temples built in the country?
    or for all those buddha statues installed in almost every road junctions?

    Asking questions will not resolve conflicts. Only endurances and coherence will lead to permanent peace.

    The slow erosion of communal rights. Guess this is another example of communal issues which are simply simmering under the surface , which have not been addressed sufficiently.

    Hak, Hak ha, Hak, Hak ha. Please do not back stab your sinhalese friends. Double talk is very dangerous. You know that very well I suppose.
