Malaka aspires to be Education Minister in SL

E-mail Print
Minister Mervyn Silva’s son Malaka has made a request to leave the country for higher education purposes, to fulfill his aspiration of one day becoming Sri Lanka’s Education Minister.

President’s Council Hemantha Warnakulasooriya appearing on behalf of Malaka Silva informed court that his client was expecting to enter an American University.

Accordingly, Colombo Fort Magistrate has permitted Malaka to be away from October 5 to November 7 but he was ordered to appear in court on November 26. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)\

Another trick to avoid the court case. This country is now really owned by these rowdies to do whatever they want. Malaka becoming Minister of Education one day would mean the end of the children of this country who will emulate his behaviour of using drugs, firing guns, visiting night clubs, assaulting people, keeping dozens of girl friends and all other sorts of nefarious activities. Wonder what this sudden urge to join an American University after having failed to learn anything in Australia.
