Have you seen Mahinda Rajapakse's wife's hand bag? Do you think she buys all from her salary? Or, even her husband's salary?

That would the case soon in Sri Lanka, if the government is allowed to go along the way they go now!

Calistus Jayatilleke Wednesday, 28 August 2013 12:08 PM

No sweat, just ask any MP or Minister of the government and they will tell you that all those who have "disappeared" are living in comfort in some western country!
