    Please don't hate the Major for withdrawing the case... he is not a coward. If he is a coward, he would not have joined the "Special Forces" as an Army Officer and hold the rank of Major. Trust me, he has done his duty to the country.
    For the Major, this is not about fighting against Malaka Silva or his father, this is about fighting against a government.
    May the Triple Gem Bless You Major!!!

    Police,take a good look at the thugs/goons surrounding Malaka and file them for the future. One never knows when they will come in handy!

    TIME TO GET TO STREETS

    Hussain Friday, 21 September 2012 04:01 PM

    This reflects very badly on the country's Judicial system, the Police, the Army, courts etc. If an army major could be intimidated thus, then what chance does the 'average joe' in Sri Lanka have?
    This is a disgrace, for these two thugs to be released. Why is the great thug Mervin in the pictures? Shame on everyone who is contributing to his comedy.

    kribath Friday, 21 September 2012 04:41 PM

    these are the products of Banda, Sirima and Chandrika.

    patriot Friday, 21 September 2012 06:08 PM

    agreed ! good coment

    Robert Friday, 21 September 2012 06:58 PM

    I am surprised that our armed forces shich stood firmly to eliminate the most brutal terrorist of the world from our our land now melting down like marshmellows to these thugs. The soldiers who sacrifised their lives for the country may be turning in their graves. SHAME TO ARMY AND SO CALLED INTELLIGENCE UNIT OFFICERS AND ARMY COMMANDER.
    Throw your uniforms to dogs.

    Gamini Saturday, 22 September 2012 08:58 AM

    What a bunch of jokers !

    Nadeesha Pradeep Friday, 21 September 2012 09:06 AM

    Legal process for anybody.

    Now Mervin and his Son they are Hero,s.(Dutugemunu)

    Aus Pet Friday, 21 September 2012 08:04 AM

    This son of a thug surrounded by thugs will terrorize this country with thuggery forever. The cops are there only to harass the innocent people and protect such thugs. Good luck Sri Lanka

    Brindley Fernando Friday, 21 September 2012 08:06 AM

    Thugs rule this country. Even the law officers are scared to do their duty. These two are given bail to show that the case is not over,but unofficially it is over. We already know the results.


    The Editor, Please publish the above comments and do not throw it to the dust bin as usual.

    What a pity. Present plight of our country is well demonstrated. No words to describe the pathetic situation>

    sach Friday, 21 September 2012 08:34 AM

    media pls dont make these ppl celebrities. They enjoy it. Even when a news of their arrest or thugery goes in media they are happy. When ever u publish a news abt them dont use decent pics of them. use pics of mervin with a bleeding head when he was attacked in Rupavahini.

    Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 21 September 2012 08:36 AM

    They walk out like they won some Gold Medals in a prestigious event. Cant blame them too, because they dont know anything else except thuggery. After all, they have established a record in this country of having beaten up a Major in the Army which has the distinction of defeating the world's most ruthless terrorist outfit. Who is the better hero?

    Shan Friday, 21 September 2012 08:40 AM

    Anarchy in the country

    Thomas Friday, 21 September 2012 08:50 AM

    Innocent guy is released. Charge the Major for fabricating a case against this innocent baba. Aney pow!

    Innocent poor sinhala youth lost their life to save this country from LTTE , but it looks like the situation is worse than that now.

    He gets more publicity than any hollywood star or the President of Sri lanka.

    rakees mohomed Friday, 21 September 2012 09:11 AM

    We are for Malaka. Malaka and his father Marvin are really assets to our country which is subjected to the international witch-hunt.

    Dave Friday, 21 September 2012 09:22 AM

    These guys were born with ties or what :) That's all I could say on this saga.

    Narayan Friday, 21 September 2012 09:29 AM

    God bless Sri Lanka. Oh, we are proud that we are the most literate state in South Asia.

    Malaka Silva Friday, 21 September 2012 09:43 AM

    kolla Friday, 21 September 2012 09:48 AM

    uma Friday, 21 September 2012 09:48 AM

    Great fathers ,Great sons. These are our future leaders. Protect them. We vote again Mervin mahthaya, Malaka should appoint as a Gampaha district organizer. then people have a another choice.

    Rif Friday, 21 September 2012 09:55 AM
