There is a general impression among the ordinary people in the country that it is a great fortune to be elected an MP given the numerous perks and privileges they are entitled to. So a Sinhala saying that has gained wide currency in recent times says: ‘Manthrivarayeku weema hathmuthu paramparawa godayana chance ekak’ (Becoming an MP is a chance that ensures a safe fording for seven generations to come)
