Ideal hair cut. Suits well for the hot weather condition. Can some advertisement company sponsor them for a fashion parade.

S. Aran Johnny Sunday, 08 May 2011 08:21 AM

11 days? The Power and Energy Ministry will be without the Minister for 11 days. I hope there are reliable people to run the MInistry while the Hon. Minister is away contemplating on the various solutions to the power and energy issues the country faces.

Prasanna Sunday, 08 May 2011 09:23 AM

Dont sell the religion for cheap political gains. The damage this people did for Buddhisam is more than enough.

Why only for 11 days? Are you with usual local Thanha, Rathi and Ranga ?

professor Sunday, 08 May 2011 10:51 AM

It's all right. Salary will be paid from public money.

Good for the fools in fool's paradise. One guy is becoming Mihindu, another guy king Dutu Gamunu and these bunch of people as temporary monks!

what a shame for the people of SL

gihan Sunday, 08 May 2011 11:08 AM

How proud i am to be a sinhala buddhist....

Ronny Sunday, 08 May 2011 06:58 AM

Now Wimal seems to be beaten. If this is a private and personal thing done according to their conscience, then why do they allow publicity - cheap politics to mislead the gullible public.
