    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 04:00 AM

    Is it ethical for a buddhist monk to go on holiday or swimming with laymen ?

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 04:14 AM

    My deepest condolences to his family...

    We do fail.though we are experts...It 's common to all..

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 04:17 AM

    WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE DECEASED OFFICER, I TOO WONDER WHY A NAVAL OFFICER COULD NOT SWIM.

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 04:32 AM

    Some people disrespect even a deceased person. We condole with the deceased lieutenant commander's family. May he attain Nibbana!

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 04:50 AM

    What was Dhammaloka doing with Jackson in a lake side?

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 05:07 AM

    Funny combination!!

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 05:13 AM

    Very suspicious

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 03:00 AM

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 05:24 AM

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 08:36 AM

    A man has died. A ntional hero. Let him rest in peace. thre's a time and place for everything. Don't sully his name just because it is said some infamous people were with him.

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:27 AM

    It is indeed disappointing to note that most of the comments above are full of sarcasm. People seem to have lost their sence of sympathy & genuine concern towards others. You guys should be ashamed of your selves.

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 10:01 AM

    Commander of Navy can't even swim, this is Lanka for you

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 10:13 AM

    The disease is one my batch mate. He has fought for this country for 12 years. The cowards who are making these comments will not be able to write these unless we fought to liberate this country from terrorism. Shame on Daily mirror editorial board !. I know you are not going to put this comment. But shame on you.. this shows the upbringing of the people who selected thee comments .. loosers !!!

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 11:14 AM

    THAT S WHY WE TELL U ALL PLEASE ACT AS A HUMAN BEEN IF U HAVE ALL THE POWER U ALL HAVE TO CAME TO FACE THIS FACTS BE A GOOD HUMAN BEEN

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 11:48 AM

    my heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased. please show respect to the navy officer who died in the lake. accidents can happen anytime, anywhere. even animals cry when someone passes away. these humans are not even close to the animals who make fun of the deceased. sorry. long way to see humans in sri lanka.

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 02:00 PM

    I totally agree. shame on you guys. Sarath Fonseka fought for this country for some fourty years. what is he getting now.

    'Mung ta vas wedila'?

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 04:59 PM

    What is the connection between these trio. Is it political religious or personal. nature of these characters are questionable.

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 05:03 PM

    How sad is this comment and every one who has 'liked' it!!! :( :( you guys are pathetic

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 05:15 PM

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 05:18 PM

    Deepest sympathies to his family. Even though you did not die of a bullet we still respect you as a brave soldier who server mother Lanka! Peace on you!

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 06:23 PM

    Interesting combination,navy officer,priest and an actor.Two of them very shady characters.

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 06:32 PM

    Results of bad company !

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 07:48 PM

    Please show some respect to the deceased. Put your politics aside.

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 09:15 PM

    Either he went fishing, or the matter is altogether 'fishy.'

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 09:31 PM

    AFTER A FEW DRINKS, I WANTED TO SHOW THEM THAT I WAS A HERO ... I MESSED-UP MY 'DRAMA'!

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 10:29 PM

    This is a tragedy ... My condolences to the family ... We salute his contribution to our Naval force, during a critical period, in our country's history !

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 11:03 PM

    Indeed - 'bad company' - Karma.

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 04:24 PM

    How come a Navy officer couldn't swim in a lake. May be not enough water to swim.

    Is this one of Janckson's Drama?

    Tuesday, 16 February 2010 11:29 PM

    Must have taken 'too much water (hic)' before getting into the water ...

    When something happen for a person badly. Don't laugh

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 02:13 AM

    Agreed with KD

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 02:44 AM

    It is very sad any my symapathies to the family. However, a naval officer drowning is suspicious.

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 02:49 AM

    What thero was doing with them ???????????

    Wednesday, 17 February 2010 02:57 AM

    Its sad to see people even making fun of the dead. Hope the deceased would get a better life in his next birth!
