Brainmaster, please use your brain. There is plenty of resource in saitm. They are underutilized. All that need to be done is to efficiently use them. Some of the best docs in sl teach over there.

So I guess another round of IUSF protests are in order for tomorrow in Lipton Circus asking why SAITM students were absorbed to KDU, because they will be more jealous now!

It’s HIGH time these kids get a solution. I’ve been following this issue for 2 years now. From what I know these kids still need to go through clinicals and an exam which is another year or more. The whole process was inefficiently handled. Time to expedite this. The courts needs to take a BOLD decision instead of colluding with any parties. The government needs to rule with an IRON FIST to control trouble makers. We need to stop money going out of SL. Inflation is on the rise for all. FDI is reducing drastically. Gosh!!

Now the GMOA should shut up and look after the health of the nation.If IUDM go on protest dismiss them from our universities. We are paying for their fun.

Ok. Now JO kers have mobilised the gomas and iusf to protest. Will they also mobilize bus drivers, fishermen and three wheeler drivers to protest against this decision as well?
