Was it a plot to harm them by those puppets working at the embassy? Shame that these domestic slaves are the biggest foreing revenue earners and their money been spent lavishly by our politicians. Those innocent victims are not even fed properly

Poison, raped, assaulted, jailed, killed, humiliated, impregnated ........What next for these poor souls on whose forex earnings our corrupt politicians, big wigs & their degenerate progeny are riding on luxury vehicles, enjoying the good life & partying, while these poor souls are damned & in a living hell. Who will speak for them or go to their aid?

There is even a worst part to it mate. In spite of the immense contribution to the economy our children born overseas have no access whats or ever if they want to attend any of the local universities. What is that they did wrong that they do not deserve free higher education?

So called domestic workers ..complain about middle east....as for Hussein comment ...raped and killed...? I really don't know why these people love the middle east..to earn the biggest foreign revenue to this country.very sad ..just like the typical Sri lanken..always complaining..if Arabs are so bad ...why go there...go to china ...Korea....Japan....Burma,,,so called way of life is practiced...
