The ongoing construction of the world’s tallest artificial Christmas Tree at the Galle Face Green had been halted today. The Cardinal said yesterday the construction of a Christmas Tree on Galle Face was a sheer waste of money, and those responsible for this work should be asked to use the funds to construct houses for poor people or provide scholarships to poor children.

If I am correct, the Rev. Cardinal should have given these valuable comments at the beginning instead of at this stage,

Cardinal you are right, celebrating Jesus is superstitious act. Giving dana is merit. May triple gems bless you

Now that this has been done to this level, suggest that a crib be made on top of this structure. What a waste.
