DNA MP Tiran Alles had created a world record by refraining from speaking in Parliament for two years. Opposition UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament today.

He said Mr. Alles had not spoken in Parliament since 2010.

“Let’s give him a present for this achievement,” Mr. Wickremesinghe said in a lighter vein. (Yohan Perera)

    RW talks at every sitting in the Parliament for the last 18 years to consolidate his position as the Opposition leader for another 10 years or more, and thanks to MR...

    the "patriotic" voters should be rewarded for keeping the UNP in opposition for so long and bringing the country to the present condition that it is in

    bandara Friday, 16 November 2012 09:55 AM

    even the SLFP were in the opposition for 17 years, now the UNP's turn, thanks to all "patriotic" voters

    Those that say RW have been the opposition leader for too long must also know that leading a nation of brainless idiots that keep voting for the current regime is almost impossible, the same people must also be the privileged lot living in the lap of luxury while the majority is suffering!! US citizens thought that GW Bush jr's rein that resulted in US's current financial crisis was the best thing since sliced bread until US woke up!!! Don't bury your head in the sand.

    Better not to talk than to talk without substance,
    such as what most MPs do both in Govt. and opposition.

    richardson Thursday, 15 November 2012 11:58 PM

    It is said Speech is Silver and Silence is GOLD. After all the present parliamentarians have achieved nothing praiseworthy by their talking.

    Sareek Thursday, 15 November 2012 12:14 PM

    You have also created a world record by loosing a stream of elections.

    Minister Thursday, 15 November 2012 10:52 AM

    Can you tell us about the record you have created so far by being in the Opposition for so many years?

    Ishan Thursday, 15 November 2012 10:47 AM

    RW deserves a big present for being the opposition leader for more than decade

    mnsmart Thursday, 15 November 2012 07:24 AM
