  • Nihal Perera :Very true. However the most srilankan will send money regardless because they overwhelming support jvp government regardless whatever they do with the money sent. Very soon we may hear the funds were hacked or disappeared . We can see how the politicians making their joy trips to overseas and all other unnecessary imports to the country. They talk spending in billions for certain projects and recruiting more and more to the public sector. Guess where is the money coming from!!

  • Let the GOVT handle the issues/matter and we can be assured that all will end well. :The President/NPP Govt has helped in many ways in the affected areas and so have many others, but rebuilding doesn't just mean putting up a house or renovate one and nor does it mean simply go throw some tar on a road and fix it. We have specialists in the fields of redevelopment, road works etc areas have to be assessed for damage and a process followed prior to actual work commences. As for Harsha, looks like he is working on a AGENDA!!. Our President/NPP Govt have a heart for the poor and less fortunate, they will ensure no waste or corruption the Rebuilding Sri Lanka will commence and be a success story.

  • Dr. Dee esquire :These ‘elders homes’ need to be regulated. Some of these so called homes, whilst charging a monthly fee from tenants, show them in soppy pictures and go from house to house collecting donations. Some get people to come and give ‘alms’ in memory of someone etc. This is all good deeds if it’s a free charitable operation- but these ‘elders homes’ are becoming a good money spinner.

  • Not a cent will vanish into thin air under this president/Govt. :Temporary accommodation is better than no accommodation, this was not a small flooding and little damage so no one expects the govt to say "hey presto and up surfaces blocks of units or houses. it them becomes a process, whose house was damaged, then checking the legality of the person living in the house and was it built on illegal property. Govt cannot just go building each and every house that was damaged, all those who lost homes but be interviewed and proof of ownership of land or else every man and his dog will be claiming damages etc. people around the world live in tents for many years is far worse conditions. Patience is required as haste brings only waste. Reconstruction of house means plans, materials and workmen. If any were insured, then its the insurance that will take care of rebuilding funds. If you know someone and your heart goes out to them, why not give them temporary accommodation in your home!!.
