Sad for the Chinese worker who died far away from home.Why is there no Sri Lankan construction workers. Do we forever have to depend on Chinese workers for their projects in addition to mounting debts to China.Peri

Very soon even house builders would be from overseas . All our labour would be at junctions engaged in nefarious activities . Of course officially posing as 3 wheel drivers .
