Prathibha Tuesday, 03 August 2010 12:55 PM

This gives a bad impression about Sri Lanka. Mervin is just a minister and should not involve in these kind of jokes... Bad for the victim's personality as well...

Government officers wake up .

Richard Tuesday, 03 August 2010 01:03 PM

Good move. Mervyn Silva has done the right thing by setting an example for other Pradeshya Sabha members. People complaining here are simply political jokers. Only internet warriors.

Sri Lankan Tuesday, 03 August 2010 01:17 PM

ranil Tuesday, 03 August 2010 01:47 PM

Dr.Ruwan Ferdinandez Tuesday, 03 August 2010 01:48 PM

For Mervyn, the renaissance was something that happened to other people. He likes doing things but his head is not developed enough to do anything useful in a civilized way.

Ivan Tuesday, 03 August 2010 10:49 AM

These are childish acts usually done by politicians to win the heart of poor people. God bless to Sri Lanka. who can protect our motherland from these type of politicians.
