Video: Malaka never assaulted an army officer-Mervyn

Minister Mervyn Silva said that his son Malaka Silva did not assault any army officer as reported.

Addressing a press conference in Colombo, Minister Silva however said that Malaka would have assaulted a man. “My son had never assaulted an army officer; he would have assaulted a man, but definitely not an army officer,” the minister said adding that “even in your childhood you had fought with others, in the younger age you would have fought and even at my age you would have had a fight with someone. That cannot be stopped, because we are human beings and it applies to my son too.”

He also said that if something had been done by his son, police could take proper action.

The minister told a news conference that the Kaliamman Kovil would not be allowed to hold the animal sacrifices scheduled for October, 16.
“The police will take necessary measures to ensure that the rituals are stopped,” the minister said.
Thun Hela Jathikaya Secretary the Ven. Omarpe Kassapa Thera said they had filed a complaint at the Chilaw police station because the temple had not obtained the necessary clearance from authorities to hold the ceremony.
“This is not a religious matter, we accept the right to practice the religion of his or her choice, but this is illegal and has to be stopped,” the Thera said.

Major assaulted himself, threw the pistol, phone and the bracelet to Malaka's pocket and he went out, all in the CCTV???

P.A.Samaraweera Friday, 14 September 2012 10:53 AM

Sometime back a "Gramasevaka Niladhari" tied himself to a tree and was there the whole day until Mervyn saw him and untied hime!!! And Mervyn got into trouble by helping him !

In this case the Major beat himself up until he got injured and Malaka took him to hospital. And now Malaka is in trouble !!!

It would have been better if the Army Intelligence officer had shot this trouble maker. Then Mervyn would say that his son was shot at the Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya and not in a club.

Dr., Why do you cover something, your son was not in Sri Lanka at the time of this incident happened, do you want to save someone by pushing your son into this.

All Silvas have Amnesia, They forget firing a gun, assaults and finally get themselves admitted to a Hospital in Singapore

RuwanL Friday, 14 September 2012 10:54 AM

Malaka is a man and not a boy. he cannot assault anyone not even his servant boy! If he has assaulted then he should be dealt with by the police. You don't have to defend him as the recording will show who assaulted whom! Why doesn't he surrender to the police and clear his name?

Yes son like father. I was looking you since incident occurred where is Mervin ? Now spoke out your son good behaviour . All public know what would be the out come of so called inquiries .

Jeremy Pereira Friday, 14 September 2012 11:15 AM

An assault on any person whether in uniform or not is a crime under the law that we should respect and honour. Not doing so and worse even trying to justifying it simply shows the pettiness and uneducated nature of this man. We are governed by goons. What a tragedy. If he and his son have little respect for the law, being a politician in the ruling party should go to a police station and surrender. If he has done nothing wrong, then why hide himself?

Martin Friday, 14 September 2012 11:16 AM

Earth to Mervin, who is he to assault anyone? And who are you to do the same? Go back to your home planet.

The biggest mistake made by India is to allow the Kapilavastu relics to SL, a country with poor practice of Buddhism. Only few days ago this mongrel paid respects to the Kapilavastu relics and now he has already started lieing. This is the Buddhism practiced by majority of sinhalese. Shame is too good a word for this country and her citizens.

Just wait and see... army officer will put under pressure to claim he assaulted himself. MR should be ashamed of his cabinet and if he is worthy for the presidency post he should immediately force Mervin to produce his son. Hey army generals...why you guys are silent. If the justice is not done somebody may deliver it and we don't want to see another JVP like mayhem.

it has now come to a point where i am shy to be a sri lankan . also a worried man as we have no civil and political rights whatsoever in our motherland or a law to protect us , it's no more a democracy . i am a sinhalese , but god help us all in the event a govt politician decides to kill , assault , rape a loved one , we will not get justice or protection , and this is guaranteed .. actually a scary situation to be in , very sad ! but true .

Yeah Yeah.The army officer assaulted poor Malaka and his clan.Well I have heard this comment before. I feel that these people should be tested for familial mental disorders

Erwin Rommel Friday, 14 September 2012 12:49 PM

The officer should be court Marshall-ed for cowardice since if he was a Major he should have smashed the Malaka fellow and his cohorts by also calling for his back up which he should have had and pulped the guys up.This was a golden opportunity lost. What a shame the Army guy was not a real Army guy who would have put the Malaka to bed instead of sleeping in a hospital. He should be discharged from the Army immediately since he has brought shame upon the SL Army.

THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHY DOES YOUR SON GO AROUND ASSAULTING MEN ? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME OK? IS IT LAWFUL TO ASSAULT A MAN?IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. HE HAS BROKEN THE LAW AND THEREFORE MUST BE ARRESTED AND FACE THE LAWFUL CONSEQUENCES. IN THIS COUNTRY AS OF LATE
THERE IS A BREAKDOWN IN LAW AND ORDER FOR REASONS THAT ARE KNOWN LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. SO LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SON WHO HAS BROKEN THE LAW BY YOUR AWN ADMISSION THAT HE ASSAULTED "A MAN"

Shaik Ahamath Friday, 14 September 2012 02:03 PM

This clearly is a conspiracy by the army to embarass our wonderful Minister Mervyn Silva by implicating his son, the equally wonderful Malaka. I am happy the Minister did not carry out his threat to commit suicide on Wednesday - we would have been denied the services of a great comic relief in the government.. Mr Silva should commission an inquiry to report in 2 years time when everything would be forgotten.

Mervyn S has certainly earned his claim to his Doctorate and is very smart in his semantics.

His son and his thugs after all "assaulted" man but someone who was wearing an army uniform with a major's insignia..He has taken so long to remember that..

He and his henchman has had a pre arranged vist with a DIG of Police and the army is having their own investigation as to how and why this "officer" was there at that hour in the first place.

yes it is a forgone conclusion that it is the officer who is guilty and the Royal son and his thugs are the heroes..

kira Friday, 14 September 2012 05:23 PM

They are now buying time to make a case against army officer and to destroy evidence or negotiating with the army officer to pay big bucks to drop the case.

So many weapons have gone "OFF" accidentally some killing friends of one another, wonder why the Army guy's weapon did NOT go off accidentally thereby eliminating a virmin... None would have mourned... Like father like son. So what Phd holder is saying is that he will defend his son EVEN if he was wrong.. What kind of ethics does he intend to instil on his son I wonder...

Yes people, Go ELECT PEOPLE LIKE THESE at the next election too..

shame to live in this country with these idiot PMs. they are totally talking bulls' shit only.

better take him to munneswaram and SLAUGHTER him instead of goats.. :)

Aks Friday, 14 September 2012 06:28 PM

There goes another cover-up for the mad Perves son... so now he assaulted a man and not an army officer... Maybe the mentioned army officer was NOT a man???

So... since when has the right to sacrifice animals in the name of religon been illegal???? Maybe since the Perve started to consume coke which his son OPENLY sells at the night clubs and like places... hahaha

It would be so nice if Mevin the Perve can hop onto a boat with the JHU, along with his drug dealing son and just sail away and be fish food???

Aks Friday, 14 September 2012 06:33 PM

Oh my gosh... Sajith been taking too much ??? SIR Malaka??? Dr. Mervin??? Hahahahaha..... Come on Army... you should all stand up together and just wipe them out...

What a disgrace....

Animal sacrifice is illegal, so what about tying a Citizen of Lanka to a tree??? What about selling drugs???

Jagath Friday, 14 September 2012 06:45 PM

if you are gaining something just showing these comments to Mervin I would have mercy on you. If I have a request to made.

krish Friday, 14 September 2012 06:45 PM

Imagine this scenario:

Well if MR was the not president, Gotabaya could have been a senior army officer.
Then there is a possibility that Malaka could have been attacking senior officers under the blessings of his minister father under some other president.

Now he is telling Malaka didn't attack an officer is just because Gotabaya could take serious action against both

Anyways, where are those so called patriotic people like Wimal Weerawansa (Born name Wimalasiri Gamlath)?

Minnal Sri Friday, 14 September 2012 06:35 PM

Look at our cabinet Ministers statement. Mervyn thinks he can fool us the way he is fooling our President.

Leslie Friday, 14 September 2012 07:28 PM

Malaka should be taken to the cleaners...... so that he does not try his thuggery on anyone else thereafter.

MR begged this chap to talk something about it.. That's all.. all srilankans fate and they dearly deserved for it

Kaputa Friday, 14 September 2012 08:18 PM

all are fool Mr Mervin Silva state last week that " I am against animal sacrifice " so mean he is not against human assault. So in sri lanka people can assault human not animals. if his son did that for animal then police can arrest.

Susantha Nawaratne Friday, 14 September 2012 09:27 PM

Being a minister representing to his country listen how he talks to the media.if he been such a academic person he should refrain from using bad words.its downgrading his caliber.Now we can understand how far away he studied at school may be up to 5th form or less

Political Illiterate Friday, 14 September 2012 10:03 PM

He was there as a witness. According to the D. Litt. they should not do this - find out illegal activity - and therefore punishable by assault. He probably thinks that the ancient kings of SL did not implement rule of law thru" the Kings Court and it was only an imperialist, neo-colonist phenomenon and should not be following any more by the democratic socialist republic. So the Assault, His son therefore is not guilty!

Bandara Perera Friday, 14 September 2012 10:34 PM

What a twist... More to come from this so called animal saving Dr. Mervin.. who does not want to save the nation saving soldier. My concern is that there are still people hanging around such people.

jehan Friday, 14 September 2012 11:00 PM

Mervyn is still in business....

Ajith Friday, 14 September 2012 11:11 PM

Idiots son is also an idiot. What a shameful country we all live unfortunately.

garawi Friday, 14 September 2012 11:15 PM

So he thinks, attacking a civilian is alright ??? Dear Mr. President, the soldiers are the people who helped you win the war. They are heroes and need to be respected. And you are allowing this son of a stupid minister attack them and get away with it. I for one among the others respected you for wiping out the LTTE and uniting the country and then embarking on a development projects of SL. But allowing thuggery and corruption by the politicians, is beyond my limits of acceptance. So, what ever happens, my next vote is not for you!

Lion Friday, 14 September 2012 11:34 PM

This is a shame for the great army headed by General Sarath Fonseka.This shows the capabality of the puppet appointed by the despotic regime.The heros who defeted Prabakaran is being asaulted by drug barren in open.Shame Shame.

Our people have given the verdict these ministers to do whatrver they want??//In elections people have shown that they like the way the government goes???/so it is pointless now by blaming ministers...Sri Lanka is the only country where majority recommond assaulting, corruptions and other crimes...Goldbless you Sri Lankans

God will punish them. In future we don't know how this country going to be. They think that killing human is better than animals.

Janaki Kalansuriya Saturday, 15 September 2012 01:45 AM

Precisely This is exactly what Gen Sarath Fonsseka is saying. Be proud and make us proud, SL Army. Take this buffoon to legal task not sparing anything. We've had enough of this tomfoolery.

Puran Saturday, 15 September 2012 03:27 AM

He is not saying anything sensible. He is only building up a sort of defense that he can create to confuse the army and the police.
The latest is that his son and his fellow thug will be hospitalized before they are arrested and will continue to be detained in a fancy hospital ward till a hearing before a judge.i

perumal Saturday, 15 September 2012 03:40 AM

But this man said he had no time to spend on his son's alleged misdeeds and the police would do the needful. Now belatedly he has sprung to his defense. All the evidence would have been dressed up by now!

If the victim was an army officer or an ordinary citizen he has committed an offence.

A Public Relations Minister is justifying fighting among the public.

The God Father Saturday, 15 September 2012 05:58 AM

Believe it or not, Mervyn is the most powerful man in Sri Lanka, even the top citizens of this country is scared of him as he keeps lots of secrets.

umer Saturday, 15 September 2012 05:58 AM

I agree with what Major did. First take it and withdraw because you have to live first to fight back. Get your self stable and retaliate. This time Malaka messed with the wrong people.

minnaabdul Saturday, 15 September 2012 05:48 AM

Malaka cant remember anything
he needs medical attention

PJay Saturday, 15 September 2012 06:09 AM

“My son had never assaulted an army officer; he would have assaulted a man, but definitely not an army officer,” - isn't the army officer a man? Does this mean that his son is given open license to assault any man? What a donkey statement by a donkey minister!

Godagampala Rohana Saturday, 15 September 2012 06:12 AM

Mervyn, you and your son will escape from SriLankan Political Law & Judgement, but you two guys will nevr escape from the wrath of God's punishment soon.

Butlers Saturday, 15 September 2012 06:33 AM

Dr Mervyn (DumbRogue Mervyn).
People will take care of this when the day arrive! Not far away. Good luck.

Sherlock Holmes Saturday, 15 September 2012 06:33 AM

Oh My God ?how can any sane President tolerate such insane fools in his cabinet. There must be something amiss in his thinking. . Is he being blackmailed or is this the kind of dangerous clown hat he delights to keep him amused and in power.. Public relations Minister.? The above posts shows what the public thinks of this Mongrel

Chandadasa Saturday, 15 September 2012 06:36 AM

It's not DumbRogue Mervyn (Dr Mervyn) who is responsible but MR. Shame on you MR.

Gadzooks Saturday, 15 September 2012 10:30 AM

This whole incident is carrying on because the evidence has not been made public: either the boy assaulted the major or he did not.

Crazy!!! "Assaulting a man" is acceptable while killing an animal is not. And I read somewhere he said he has more important things to do rather than looking into his sons actions!!! Did he finish all those important things??
