UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe today asked the youths in Badulla whether they are willing to work at a mobile phone manufacturing plant under a government led by his party in the future.

Wickremesinghe added that the Nokia phone manufacturer had opened one of its major manufacturing plants in Tamil Nadu, but Sri Lanka had failed to attract such investments. (PA)

Afker Hussain Sunday, 21 November 2010 08:24 PM

Before you decide to establish a Phone factory please learn to run your own factory with the talent at your disposal( Sajith Premadasa) and stepping down to make way for fresh talent.

Prasanna Monday, 22 November 2010 08:55 AM

Free-lanced Monday, 22 November 2010 09:12 AM

Yes of course, with his bracelet and chewing gum...

ganeshen Monday, 22 November 2010 12:24 PM

We are still waiting for the bracelette he promised in 2001!

micky Sunday, 21 November 2010 02:49 PM

you r not giving bracelets this time? LOL

Prof. Ravi Kulatunga Sunday, 21 November 2010 02:55 PM

They can work at that factory after they have retired, since you won't be forming any government in the forseeable future.

Faqi Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:01 PM

Still does he has dream about government ? (lol)

Anushka Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:05 PM

He has put his foot in his mouth again. Why is it that every time Ranil makes a public speech, he always says something that can be used by the government to ridicule him?

lawyer Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:10 PM

this the latest "pandit talk" of RW. how about a last one for the road. ( before the end of 12th December)

KD Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:15 PM

would he be willing?

m rifai nazim Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:20 PM

Before forming a Government under your own, try and survive at the UNP convention. All the Sri Lankans are not fools to believe on illusions.

charlie Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:21 PM

During his time, he could not provide any jobs to youth.

Sanjaya Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:26 PM

This is serious disastor for a great party. He may be an interlligent persons but not suitable for politics. Please resign for the sake of god.

Aliya Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:41 PM

I think RW should learn a few tricks from MR on how to address the rural folks...

sujeewa Sunday, 21 November 2010 02:36 PM

Yes sir.we will.but u have to slove your problems first.arent u.we wish.

AF Sunday, 21 November 2010 03:53 PM

Come mate!!!!!!!!!! no words for you.

Ranjith Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:02 PM

By that time, Mobile phones are out dated and obselete items!.

thaminda Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:06 PM

When will this happen sir?

Pedro Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:30 PM

Stupid question, of course they like, provided you are talking about office jobs.

jim jam Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:40 PM

a unp let govt? sweet dreaming Ranil.

malkanthi Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:43 PM

RW nowadays does not speak sense at all. Probably impacted with chances of his coming power is very remote!

menaka Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:54 PM

no thanks Mr. Ranil. I'd rather be part of the knowledge economy rather than fall in to your trap of cheap labour :P

Nilam Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:55 PM

Ranil is trying to forget port @ Polonnaruwa stupity ... ha haaa

sam Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:59 PM

Sir, please shut your mouth...you cannot win as long as you talk

Rajitha Sunday, 21 November 2010 05:16 PM

set the factory either in pamankada or madawachchiya. then it'll be easier to ship the finished products via Polonnaruwa harbor.

herath Sunday, 21 November 2010 05:24 PM

You can do it even now if you can. H.. E. President will extend you his full hand if you really want to do it. go for it and earn a name gentleman.

Dinesh Sunday, 21 November 2010 05:26 PM

keith de kretzer Sunday, 21 November 2010 06:47 PM
