Motorists in several locations in Colombo displayed their anger by honking their vehicle horns after they were forced to stop to facilitate VIP movements on roads. Two videos circulating on social media showed motorists honking their vehicle horns.

    Protest as you can on the VIP blocking roads. If they do not care about our lives , why should we

    SL Tuesday, 21 May 2019 07:17 AM

    Do not stop your vehicle for VIPs anymore! They do not care country's safety,our safety. if they have cared we do not have to experience this situation today.

    Niranjan Tuesday, 21 May 2019 07:38 AM

    Good,we should together teach this politicians time up

    Saranga Tuesday, 21 May 2019 07:42 AM

    These bastards should be jailed

    I also got caught to this traffic blockage in Kynsey Road, and after waiting for a very long time started honking my horn. Then a traffic officer came and said to wait as there was a bomb somewhere that they are attending to. So I respected and waited but little while later, saw some defenders - probably carting some so called VIP donkeys, driving past at speed. When the head of the army says there is no bomb scare which we truly believe, it is not right for this poor traffic officer who has been delegated to take care of these VIP clowns, to approach us and mention about bombs in this sensitive time! Top police brass should educate such traffic officers not to mislead the public and create fear among the people in this sensitive environment but to tell the truth that those VIP donkeys are not meeting the time frames as usual, so be patient until they pass. If these donkeys have done the right thing at the right time, we wouldn’t be in this situation today!

    Gota D Tuesday, 21 May 2019 08:16 AM

    Very "sound" reaction indeed! Lets keep going at this VIP mania.

    People are finally getting brains now

    ram Tuesday, 21 May 2019 08:18 AM

    Anpanman Tuesday, 21 May 2019 08:25 AM

    Nice. the people have finally realized this burden. Time to send all 255 1 home at the next opportunity.

    the crooked rats should be made to walk they not only steal the public money but also cause inconvenience to the general public

    Lion Tuesday, 21 May 2019 08:47 AM

    Very good move .Must continue with this when ever we see these parasites obstructing the general public on the roads.

    DD Tuesday, 21 May 2019 08:55 AM

    Good move! should throw spoiled egg at them...

    Sebsatian Wolf Tuesday, 21 May 2019 08:55 AM

    VIP ? What makes them so called VIP ? Arent they normal people like evryone else ? Arent they elected by the People of Sri Lanke to represent their ideas and thoughts to best for the country ? They should stop misusing public funds for so many expensive vehicles, an armee of giuards and securitiy and and and the list is long but the system will never change

    Samare Tuesday, 21 May 2019 09:08 AM

    If road built by tax money, every citizen have equal rights to use them. Not just Politicians.

    King Tuesday, 21 May 2019 09:28 AM

    I doubt if there's any other country in the world other than third world African states where this kind of orchestrated chaos is caused by political numbskulls. We are all to blame for giving these Very Important Parasites preference in our society.

    Banda Tuesday, 21 May 2019 09:31 AM

    What a fantastic citizens protest! Can someone identify who were this Wee IP’s , this Wee IP’s should apologise to the citizens of Sri Lanka

    Lord Wolfstein Tuesday, 21 May 2019 09:41 AM

    We are not here in China, Russia or another dictatorship. Only recently has it been decided by the government that politicians have no special rights on the roads.

    KDS Tuesday, 21 May 2019 10:25 AM

    Who are the VIP? Very Imperfect Pig?

    Cedric Seneviratne Tuesday, 21 May 2019 10:58 AM

    Absolutely disgusting. This government vouched that they wouldn't inconvenience the public with vehicle convoys of so called VIP's. I dont understand why we have to call them VIP's in the 1st place. They are servants of the public. When they come canvassing for votes they are so humble

    Bandu Abey Tuesday, 21 May 2019 11:01 AM

    I wonder who are these VIP's? No politician should be given any higher priority than the citizens who have the right to get rid of the politicians from every class. This subservient treatment of the ordinary people by the lowly politicians should have been stopped long ago. But never too late. Overseas dignitaries, as guests of the country should be respected and be given the priority.

    Horn Tuesday, 21 May 2019 11:12 AM

    Excellent idea!

    GON BASS Tuesday, 21 May 2019 12:28 PM

    Way to go ! .

    nalin perera Tuesday, 21 May 2019 12:36 PM

    It is about time that people show these politicians that "enough is enough". And this is a truly democratic way. This wave needs to be carried on.

    Sharon Tuesday, 21 May 2019 12:37 PM

    Superb work public.

    Sunil Karunarathne Tuesday, 21 May 2019 12:46 PM

    Seems good move but it's sound pollution even politico cannot hear too.
