Does he has an income to run this car ?. I'm afraid not.
provide them a regular income to carry out sports activities .
Don Anurasiri Tuesday, 02 November 2010 02:20 AM
He has brought glory to the country he deserves gifts from his humble beginnings. Hopefully the cheap government won't buy him the most expensive Maruti out there. 4 million how much is that in taxes.. ridiculous
jarule Tuesday, 02 November 2010 03:00 AM

Those days JVP too wanted to map so called "Chinthanaya" with this great man's name Chinthana for cheap publicity but he didn't care the cunning politics at all.
Sampath Tuesday, 02 November 2010 03:46 AM

SP Tuesday, 02 November 2010 03:59 AM
He Deserves more than this ... considering all the hardships he had to come through over the last few years .. He is a silent Hero.
Oyage Podi Guru Tuesday, 02 November 2010 04:42 AM
He might consider selling the vehicle and buying one that is less expensive to operate and maintain and then invest the other half or so of the money in things he needs for himself and his family.
Nina Kamal Monday, 01 November 2010 06:35 PM

Jumbuli Jumba Tuesday, 02 November 2010 05:12 AM
Steve, Pls don't categorise all sportsmen/women in Sri Lanka as cheats!
Mr. Serious Tuesday, 02 November 2010 06:08 AM
i think people have got it wrong this is not the "Boxer" this is the "Weight Lifter". so stop talking trash about him.
sf Tuesday, 02 November 2010 06:49 AM
Really proud of Chinthaka, because he brings out the true identity of what a Sri Lankan should be - HARDWORKING!!
spark Tuesday, 02 November 2010 06:57 AM
State gifts should take into consideration actual situation and requirements of this humble village lad. These are gifts that Namal would outreach and love to flaunt, but to Chinthanan it will be of concern and waste.
Hiranthi Tuesday, 02 November 2010 10:47 AM

Zufar Monday, 01 November 2010 02:33 PM
