Disappointed one Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:17 AM

bring those bacteria from Cuba which can eradicate dengue? People are dying day by day. there should be adeqauete space in the flight know.
all these years we herd so many stories on having that Bactria in SL and nothing happened as usual.
Alternatively you could send the team of experts to advise them how to eradicate dengue. possibly the same team who went to pakistan.

MR to CASTRO : Do you have extra Mobile Phone ?

Imran Hussein Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:22 AM

When tsunami hit, it was the Western european people collected funds from the streets for us. Some of them flew to SriLanka to distribute whatever they had to effected families. How much Cuba or China did? This trip is a total waste, No good for neither. What this joker Werawanse doing there, could he say single word beyond a mere 'Hello'? This is another 'psadashow' of MR.

Mahajanaya Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:25 AM

Dear president.

Why don’t you bring bacteria from Cuba which can eradicate dengue. People are dying every week because of this please bring this bacteria and wipe out Dengue forever.

And sir remember people can’t fool by your ministers they know that your ministers are good connection with Mosquito coil owners.

Moka Rala Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:30 AM

This is all childish and immature behaviour in trying to spite and antagonise the USA....Another poor judgement politically or ottherwise.
Whio is advising MR is another good question..Just have a look at his delegation and do you see any strength or diplomatic prowess with these jokers...and also people who have failed miserably but still tagginjg along...time to ne in one of the retirment homes.

kapa Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:36 AM

MR says ' this is the fool who did a bodhi pooja for chavez

Moda Wansa Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:37 AM

I wonder what Wimal would have been able to say after he was introduced..Of course , anything but foolish would have been too much of an Ask...and of course , apart from looking lost, he would not have been able to say anything...No english No???

Dadoriya Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:51 AM

Do not worry, I was speaking Spanish, the other, broken English and the result, Greek.

Mahajanaya Sunday, 17 June 2012 10:45 AM

Ministers are good connection with Mosquito coil owners and these coil company owners they are the one who stop this bacteria from Cuba.

If this bacterium comes to SL Dengue no more.

kumaraya Sunday, 17 June 2012 11:12 AM

Polkudu Chandrika Sunday, 17 June 2012 06:22 PM

MR to Raul: This man is not for sale. You can have him. .................... for free!: Please take him.

Minister Monday, 18 June 2012 05:54 AM

Have they gone to bring us the BT bacteria against dengu? We heard so many fairy tales once before too, but nothing happened. Let us wait till they come back. This time we will be able to listen to more fairy tales, specially from Wimal. Most probably he will tell us that now the Cuban investors are quarreling with each other to find investment opportunities in Sri Lanka. hahaaaa..

asoka abeywardena Sunday, 17 June 2012 08:33 AM

now lets wait and see how our wimale lamaya going to communicate with cuban president...

Blind Leading the Blind.

Guru Sunday, 17 June 2012 06:25 AM

There is nothing to talk, just to show that there is someone for him to go.

RAJU Sunday, 17 June 2012 06:45 AM

NOTHING ELSE OTHER THAN SPENDING PUBLIC MONEY... IS THERE ANY BILATERAL TALKS WITH WIMAL?

Hussain Sunday, 17 June 2012 04:21 AM

Its a very good gesture that our President visited with the Cuban President Raul Castor. Cuba always stood by Sri Lanka whatever the consequences.
