what a waste of time and money. How many would have skipped school and work to go for this? And for what, just to boost some egos?

Somebody being cynical - you are the best example I have met so far.

At a time when the country is going through a shortage of funds to meet the daily expenses, this is madness. No one will gain but only the stooges of thr government, will benefit.

If the goverment thinks that this something to out do the Premadasa Gam Udawa program then the goverment is wrong.Premadasa's Gam Udawa program was more meaning ful as it atleast gave the homeless a home.What does this give?

Dear people of Srilanka (The Miracle of Asia) don't do guys feel the cost of living is going up and we are sinking.
Please wake up

yeah. probably the fuel prices are going to be hiked up in a few days to cover up the expenses from the deyata kirula.

So long as the ordinary people are not keen (or unable) to identify the priorities of the country, the shrewd politicians will continue to take them for a ride!

Why you so negative before this exhibition? then, what you suppose to do? No recreational activities in SL..? To just going on? your opinion reflects Rudeness.

Utter waste of money and time. Govt has spent nearly 30,000 million to this event. They should have develop the country in long term perspective with the money rather than wasting the money for one event.

My child didn't go to school for the last two week. Some roads are closed and civilians feels inconvenience.
