Look at Singapore. Tharman Shanmugaratnam Deputy Prime Minister is of Sri Lankan origin from Urelu, Chunnakam, Jaffna. So, are so many prominent Singaporeans of Sri Lankan origin. If Sri Lanka had also recognised merit from all communities and given positions on merit, we will be developed country. Because we didnt do that we are at the mercy of India for everything. For everything we are getting India involved - railways and petroleum. Singapore is no slave to Malaysia

At least Ranil meeting with useful leaders comparing to MR who went overseas every week to see unknown leaders.
