In your dreams my friend, in your dreams. You are unable to solve Lasantha, Ekneligoda, Thajudeen blatant murders and you want to climb to the moon. Monkey talk.

I always stated. Police are well aware of the drug lords!!

Did you turn a blind eye until they fled?? Like I’m the case of traffic offenses and A. Mahendran?

At least you identified them after they left.

Well, the new way of nailing Druglords is first allow them to leave the island, and then confiscate worthless assets !!! Huh!!

Is this the Philippines model of recovery?

Some of our police officers are hijacked by drug smugglers.so they let their friends flee.If I have power ,I'd force these criminal police officers to inhale 200kg of heroine captured recently.

How did they leave the country without anybody's knowledge? With all the resources police have today, can't they even do a simple thing like alerting the airport authorities about these criminals before they leave the country?

How have these DRUG LORDS who have fled this country obtain Residence Visas to stay in those countries?

ME Friday, 25 January 2019 07:47 PM

So, who are they? Public should know their identities and how they got away.

Well done! that is the best way to hit drug dealers. At least identify the dealers and the countries that are harboring the culprits. Those countries need to know that they have a person that has the potential to continue the trade their country.
