    Let's all wait and watch his choices for the cabinet. He and this country are now free of one huge headache - the worst foreign minister we have had in our history, has lost his seat!

    Better to avoid appointing past ministers, as much as possible, and instead appoint enthusiastic young blood ...

    Friday, 09 April 2010 11:22 PM

    MR should now honour the election promises ...

    Friday, 09 April 2010 10:19 PM

    Another chance to 'score a century'!

    Friday, 09 April 2010 09:11 PM

    Your Excellency, please choose the best, for the sake of the future of our country!

    Friday, 09 April 2010 08:48 PM

    Less than 50% turnout? This is the 'darkest day' in Sri Lanka. It's going to be a true 'banana republic.'

    Friday, 09 April 2010 08:09 PM

    It's time for the 'brothers, relations and friends.' SL will continue to 'go to the dogs' ...

    Friday, 09 April 2010 08:08 PM

    Mr. President, please do not forget that the people of Sri Lanka have placed a lot of trust in you. So, do not disappoint them. Good luck!

    Friday, 09 April 2010 07:14 PM

    Forget about the 'seniors' in the national-list, who are unable to deliver.

    Friday, 09 April 2010 07:00 PM

    The low voter turnout reflects APATHY and not a 'clear mandate' for the government, to do as it pleases.

    Friday, 09 April 2010 06:54 PM

    Please select the most suitable 25, to your Cabinet.

    Friday, 09 April 2010 06:54 PM

    Do not exceed 30 members.

    Friday, 09 April 2010 02:07 PM

    Sir give the chance to the people who are well educated.

    Friday, 09 April 2010 06:41 PM

    Hon. Mahinda, now you have a strong government. Now there is no excuse. Better select a strong Cabinet by identifying the capabilities of each individual and NOT on the rank of the majority votes. Also, it should not exceed 30 ministers. Furthermore, people should be able to live without fear!

    Friday, 09 April 2010 06:37 PM

    Yes, Mr. President, now you have got what you requested. The public is waiting for a 'brighter future.' Hope it will not be only a promise. Please implement 1. law and order; 2. a respectable environment to live-in; and, 3. a proper team to execute your 'vision'!

    Friday, 09 April 2010 06:31 PM

    'Appoint only people who can get things done. Pick those who have the education and expertise to do the job. Set goals, targets and deadlines for each one. Dump them, if they do not achieve their expected outcomes.' ... We can always dream about what it OUGHT to be ...

    Friday, 09 April 2010 02:57 PM

    Please do not give anything to Mervin Silva!!

    Friday, 09 April 2010 02:53 PM

    People of Sri Lanka is with you, pls do your part of the deal...Good Luck

    Friday, 09 April 2010 02:40 PM

    Mr. President, you can do good job and please selct a team who can work tirelessly.

    Is this a day dream!

    Friday, 09 April 2010 02:17 PM

    Hope this time cabinet will not exceed more than 30 and now MR has all what he needed for develop this country (if he truly wishes).
    No one will ever think of going against him.
    MR should always remember that that war had won him.
    I wish the cabinet will comprise with truly intellectuals, not jokers.
    Now all elections are over. we were fed up with bailas.
    Release all political prisoners and journalists.
    Give long lasting solution for ethnic issue.
    Let people feel that they can live without fear.
