Dearest President, We saw similar vicious comments by readers during the war time. Most comments were against you. But you showed them wrong. It's time to prove it again. If you make great decisions sans pride and arrogance, you will do it again. God Bless Sir!

This port is not a Srilankan achievement. it was mainly financed & constructed by the chinese. In the same way they are constructing ports in Africa & Myanmar. So just stop yr kaiwaruwa.When u talk of srilanka being in the same league as china & india are u joking on are u plain mad?

Good intentions. But a society that tolerate release of cruel murderers will not have the required discipline to achieve it.

Small is beautiful! These days, everything is mega - mega projects, mega starts, mega crooks, mega thugs, mega "kiribath", and the MEGA CABINET breaking all world records. No mention is made of the mega cabinet in the Guinness Book of World Records. Can anyone check the Guinness book of World Records and tell us whether Sri Lanka has broken this record.

Like him or loathe him, he is the right kind of man to lead SL.
He understands the "Lankan mindset" (both good and bad).
If SL to achieve the Mahinda vision, MR needs to begin to sort out the rule of law and corruption, otherwise we will be swimming against the tide.

Your scope is too narrow but mouth is too big. china will proudly say they gave a loan and got a facility in south Asian sea and Sri Lanka will pay for that. Please invest on education.

China and India are Super Economic Powers, one must be disoriented to same that we are going to be in the same league. With mounting debts it is possible we become a satellite of both China & India.
