Lucky Weeramantry Monday, 25 February 2013 11:28 PM

Police Should Flush The Area Before It Becomes A Environmental Problem.

One hundred Rupees fine per Pee/ How much for other calls of nature? Cost of Peeing gone up like cost of living.

Michael Mendis Tuesday, 26 February 2013 06:16 AM

Public Urination is an offense in any country ....specially in US you could get jail time and a misdemeanor.

Aney Machang Tuesday, 26 February 2013 06:22 AM

In TN urine is a drink and is often collected to drink by the older living Politicians, One of its former Prime Minister openly admitted drinking urine to stay healthy and live long.

Robin Hood Tuesday, 26 February 2013 07:55 AM

So Because there are 'hundreds' who are engaged in this filthy habit, the Police should turn a blind eye? Way to go (un)Lucky! Shame on you if you are a Sri Lankan!!

admetus Tuesday, 26 February 2013 08:20 AM

Go to the back of the Pettah private bus station and you will find the largest roadside open toilet. No one cares because no judge lives nearby?

James Tuesday, 26 February 2013 09:10 AM

Wow...just 100 rupees rite....tomorrow I will urinate near Temple trees.....

Abi Tuesday, 26 February 2013 02:22 PM

Lucky Weeramantry Wednesday, 27 February 2013 12:04 AM

It Must Have Been Unbearable

Lucky Weeramantry Monday, 25 February 2013 03:24 PM

The Road Side Is Much Cleaner Than Our Public Toilets

Lucky Weeramantry Monday, 25 February 2013 03:27 PM

There Are Hundreds Engaged In This Habit Are They Going To Fine All Of Them. Extra Burden On Our Police.

Lucky Weeramantry Monday, 25 February 2013 03:33 PM

Somebody Should Show Them The Correct Way.

Lucky Weeramantry Monday, 25 February 2013 03:37 PM

ANTON Monday, 25 February 2013 04:45 PM

There would be more fine if the judge's wife saw anything else.

YOUANDME Monday, 25 February 2013 03:13 PM

OH MY GOD!!
WE DONT HAVE RIGHTS TO URINATE IN OUR HOME SOIL.
ONLY 300ml URINE IS 100 RS. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
OH GOD SAVE US

saira Monday, 25 February 2013 04:55 PM

Haji Monday, 25 February 2013 05:04 PM

Not only for judge's bungalow should be furnished all who are urinating in public places. Dirty people

Calistus Jayatilleke Monday, 25 February 2013 05:09 PM

"watered-down" justice!

Galkolla Monday, 25 February 2013 05:34 PM

I had done the same thing on so many occasions.Even one of my classmates who became a district judge had done it with me when he was a law student.

manna Monday, 25 February 2013 05:44 PM

GOOD POINT, BUT THEY LIKE THE STINGY ROADs there , ask Asok!

Jagath Leanage Monday, 25 February 2013 06:48 PM

The person who have "tooth ache" Stomach ache" and "this ache" will know the gravity of the pain. Wondering whether this Police constable has never done this by road side.

graduate Monday, 25 February 2013 06:48 PM

100,wht about our coconut girl 100000 bail out

StrawHat Monday, 25 February 2013 07:15 PM

since they urinated near a "judge's bungalow" only they were caught, if it were near the common people's houses, it would have been ignored.

Justice Monday, 25 February 2013 09:27 PM

That is an expensive pee for the poor buggers.it costs less than that in comfort station in Europe . The cost of living has gone up even to do a pee in silly Lanka.
