We need to choose our future leaders now, Sugandika Fernando seems to have courage and honesty that you dont see anymore. As for speeding, what nonsense?

She was advised and released "considering her profession." What exactly does that mean? Is there one law for lawyers and a different law for the rest of us?

Yes. Everyone is equal. But some are more equal. The Sri lankan style.

This means lawyers can break the law and can go scot free. What a banana republic.
Shehan Tuesday, 01 May 2018 08:50 PM
It's not the problem with the lawyer. She pleaded guilty for the offence. Judge whilst delivering the order only has warned her

In other countries, even Prime-minister/President get the fines if they not abide by the laws. This shows where we are as a country.
