I have said this many times in the Daily Mirror, only your own immune system can protect you from this deadly Covid-19. The doctors are hopelessly clueless they can only offer oxygen in the hospitals. This is the TRUTH.

I am a medical specialist in SL. I didnt like his policies. He spoke against University students. He also received a free education. He had forgotten that. But I wish him eternal rest. People do not realize that this life is short and money cannot prevent Death. Its sad that he became a victim of Covid infection. No funeral ceremony.

He was a member of Parliament for Panadura and had served the electorate with many development projects, especially in the field of education. R.I.P.

He spoke according to his conscious in the parliament, even against his leader. We appreciate it.
