Army officer allegedly assaulted by Malaka

Sunday, 09 September 2012 15:11

An Army Major was admitted to the National Hospital after being allegedly assaulted by a group led by controversial minister Mervyn Silva's son Malaka at a five star hotel in Colombo last night, according to a complaint made to the police.

Police spokesman Ajith Rohana said that a corporal who was with the major at the time of the incident had also been injured during the clash.

According to the complaint lodged with the police, the incident had occurred when Malaka Silva asked the major for a cigarette. The officer had given him a cigarette. Then he had asked for a lighter.

The major had said he did not have a lighter and the other party had then started a brawl. The incident had occurred between 2.30 am and 3.00 am.

A complaint had been lodged with the Slave Island Police by the aggrieved party. The police had then sent a team to the Colombo National Hospital to record a statement from the major and he had charged that his official pistol had been taken away by the group.

He wants to inherit his father's position and "fame" and be the big bully as it is most likely that with MaRa expected big shuffle of his vast cabinet and possibly a very powerful ministry he could do all the thuggery he wants to and have protection from the police.

Like father, like son, indeed. But he is not asking for trouble. What he is seeking is fame and fortune. Now he too is in the news, once more. This is how to enter Sri Lankan politics. Now he will be noticed by the powers to be as a suitable candidate.

Well, as the Sinhala saying goes "if the son does not do what his father did, then he must be "Nottige Putha" i.e. Not Ugay Putha! It is the father who once boasted of having assaulted journalists and kicked them out of the country and also warned those whom he branded as "traitors" not to step in to the country as he will break their legs.

If the army officer agreed to a settlement with malaka, he will be getting a promosition to his next rank soon upon the recommendation of Marvin Silva.

Otherwise may army office might be punished and drop his rank down.

Tomorrow Dinamina and other Gov. media may say "Army officer who hist the Malaka arrest in the Hospital with some Nude pictues in his phone" Lol.

Sri lankan law is not sound enough to punish malaka since he is the Son of marvin. If someone need to punish he should find a way out of the law.
