My sympathy goes to this sole parent and her now disabled son. I am sure there any many well heeled old boys of the school, living in Sri Lanka who could very well help this student via the Royal College Old Boys Union.Do not expect any help from the Principal who is a very arrogant man and a boot licker of whichever political party is in power. I have not forgotten his disgraceful back down versus the son of a politico several years ago. (I think it was the son of Keheliya Rambukwella.) In my era as a student, the principal Dudley KG De Silva would never have countenanced such behaviour.

Reasonable demand.

SL is a poor third world country and cannot afford life guards or any type of guarding for that matter. Case closed.

Understand the mothers plight, but to demand 260 m ! The kids not a doctor, has no source of income and is basically a kid, if they win this case then people will start suing everything from their postman to the hospitals itself left right and center.

The kid need not be a doctor.The main thing is,He is a Human being.As for the amount,its for the law to decide.Because most people have not brought their cases forward legally in the past,does not mean they cannot come out now and get redress lawfully.This should teach the arrogant people to be more humane.Accidents do and will occur,but willful neglect should not be tolerated.

@Chanda, What a idiot you are?

For a widowed mother, her son is worth more than 260 Million, stupid!
OMG Wednesday, 04 March 2015 01:57 PM
@Chanda, You do realize why you have 60 dislikes right?

Chanda, If Sri Lanka is a third world country and can not afford Life Guards, all swimming pools should be closed down as a precautionary measure as life is precious.

Facts have been distorted to gain undue advantage. This is an accident and if we are to undertake all such precaution no activity would be affordable, especially to those who can less afford. The Scout Master has trained many at his own expenses.We may as well close down all roads and not permit pvt. vehicles as many are killed on roads.The mother was informed immediately and she on her arrival has stated that she had a dream and has wanted the son to stay at home. The son has disobeyed.It is sad but the action is taking undue advantage and is hindering the activities of many students who are satisfied with the reasonable precautions. Pls publish
