SEC Chairman Thilak Karunarathne tendered his resignation a short while ago, SEC officials said

Karunarathne ended a week of speculation about his resignation, tendering his resignation to the Ministry of Finance, sources said.

Meanwhile Sri Lanka's Finance Ministry said today it has still not decided on a replacement for the Securities and Exchange Commission chief as his resignation has not been accepted by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Reuters reported. (I.S)

Dr. Tilak should have battled on until he was fired. Then the public would have had the chance of witnessing whether these manipulators are really powerful enough to force the hand of even the president. Had he done so, it would have been an inestimable service to our nation.

Rather than a question of honesty or dishonesty of an incumbent, this resignation is an indication of the general breakdown of law and order in the country. The Regulator is obviously captured by the Mafia who are well protected and safeguarded by the powers that be just like they protect the rapists and murderers among them. This resignation will now pave the way for the appointment of a member of the Mafia itself to fill the vacancy. And then they will all live happily ever after!

He is a buddhist and there is no creator in buddhism. Christians of course may have grouses against him when considering his activities in SU and JHU.

When people start getting old they get the urge that they should make good with their creator. think this is also one instance of that. that will also explain to you why some people do a few good things just before they retire after all the bad stuff they have done.
