The Inter-University Students Federation (IUSF) today conducted a signature collection campaign in front of the Fort Railway Station urging the government to abolish the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) campus in Malabe. Two foreign tourists were among those seen signing the document. Pix by Kushan Pathiraja

Do they really know that by signing they are depriving a lot of kids a promising carrier in the medical profession. The kids have paid lots of money unlike those leaches who sign and who don't spend a cent for their medical education. Compromise isn't in their dictionary!!!

Are these forged signatures?

This is so unfair. In that case all international schools should also be closed and only state run schools should operate like in the 1970's and before. Very selfish IUSF authorities.

This clearly shows that IUSF does not have a sens of purpose/direction. They only act as a bunch of puppets.

What a great achievement for the Sinhalese. They have got white people to sign their petition. Great, Great.

Running school and running a medical school is so different. And running medical school without approval from state medical regulator is illegal. plain and simple. Owner should put behind bars and students money should be refunded.

Just another activity by the "cream of the country"

Why not get medical students to pay back the cost of their education in installments once they are employed, pay back for all the privileges they've received. Of course their selfish attitudes have to change. This country can't afford to keep giving our freebies.
