Promptly accepting fellow Councillor Malsha Kumaratunga’s challenge, UPFA provincial councillor Hirunika Premachandra has participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge and posted a video online.

Hirunika is shown standing outdoors in the rain and getting drenched by a basin of ice water. She then makes a brief impromptu speech listing out her three nominees, which includes UNP Uva PC candidate Harin Fernando, JVP politburo member Lal Kantha and Western Province UPFA Councilor Senal Welgama. She says she decided to nominate them as they are her ‘dear friends’ who she believes have ‘bright futures’.

In the description that is posted along with the video, Hirunika has written that to avoid wastage of water she has used rain water following Malsha who similarly used water from her pool to avoid wastage.

Malsha had named Hirunika, President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Minister Mervyn Silva as her nominees for the Ice Bucket Challenge.

I am a fan of your paper DM but to tell the truth this really is pure balderdash. Tactics by Govt supportive politicians to make people forget the day to day problems. Please do not publish this "tabloid like" news. By the way, tell the ladies to wear two piece bikinis when they do this.

Don't go to lecture our politicians on ice. They know ice better than any one of us.

What a stupid thing to do, don't these politicians have nothing else to do to "serve the people". At least if the two girls did the ice bucket exercise clad in proper outfit for a bath i.e. a bikini, that at least would have been something for our voters!

I would like to quote my friends(Rikaz) opinion I challenge all the ice bucket jockers to do a hot water bucket. I nominate everyone who became the fools infront of camera including ppl who never bath. Condition hot means hot water no mixing. It should be boiling water.
