Great! Dr. Jay can now order cremations of all the diseased belonging to a certain minority, stating the burials contaminate the ground water, soil and what not.

Jasinghe has to be under the shade of Gotha since his minister S.M Chandrasena is notorious for sand and ,metal extraction without having any care to the environment.

100% Sinhala domination. Whither equal rights to minorities Mr. President?

Appointing Sinhalese is the only way manipulation and corruption can continue.
