    declare it a national holiday, for us to celebrate.

    modawansa Thursday, 28 October 2010 11:14 AM

    The genaral public has decided to observe the ‘National mourning Week’ symultaneously.

    DHA Thursday, 28 October 2010 11:15 AM

    After the celebrations bread prices will go up by Rs. 15/-

    Ransi Gunawardena Thursday, 28 October 2010 11:21 AM

    Strange, I wanted to make the same comment. Government has lot of money now and they should celebrate for a long time may be next 12 or more years till Namal takes over and continue to do so

    Poorest Thursday, 28 October 2010 11:23 AM

    Reminds me the rain and floods in May. God..............

    Possible severe diabetes or liver packing up looking at his unhealthy body

    willows Thursday, 28 October 2010 11:28 AM

    Concerned Thursday, 28 October 2010 11:44 AM

    Can we continue the marry making for some more time, rather than just one week?

    Mushi Thursday, 28 October 2010 12:20 PM

    Wimal has put jell on his head or had a pol thel bath? Jel da pol thel da?

    Yehiya-Doha Thursday, 28 October 2010 12:22 PM

    Celebrate until Sajith or Karu come to leadership.

    kareem Thursday, 28 October 2010 12:26 PM

    Nimal Sripalata "Saypa wadie...Aakai yanna ana tanawal okoma ninda yane....This is the sri lankan ministers..& public money is putting them on luxrious life and which make them always sleep.. May GOd Bless this country.

    Frank Kumara Thursday, 28 October 2010 10:59 AM

    Siri Thursday, 28 October 2010 01:23 PM

    Looking at their overworked bodies, resembling just skin and bones, what is wrong in a week long celebration to put some meat on. After all they are ministers of a King.

    Yehiya-Doha Thursday, 28 October 2010 02:09 PM

    This minister still sleeping.New minister developed the health sector.Send to General hospital.

    krishna Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:16 PM

    Until water boiled the crabs are dancing in the pot.

    Nandimithra. Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:49 PM

    All ministries & Corporations will be asked to pay for the tamashas & DEW G of COPE will ask the Chairmen why the Corporations are running at a loss. What tomfoolery.

    Nandimithra. Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:50 PM

    Yes ooozziingg out.

    serendib Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:54 PM

    I have nothing to add, comments made above is more than enough to describe an irresponsible government.

    sarath g Thursday, 28 October 2010 08:18 PM

    Lets declare the day as a nation holiday and celebrate it every coming year. After all the second term election was one of the biggest jokes, if he had done it now he would have lost it.. MR did it just after the war was over inorder to win it...

    This is greed at it's best, and the stupid ministers are not talking about it because they dont want to loose any benefits, after all if they do not support they will be sued for corruption, every minister and deputy minister knows this.

    Dupatha Friday, 29 October 2010 04:19 AM

    Grab the moneys by means taxes BTT NBT VAT ESC PT & IT ETC, ETC before we reach profit of the year.
    Hurrah! celebrate & enjoy the life.

    Dev Thursday, 28 October 2010 09:41 AM

    Why Nimal Siripala always sleeping ???

    wasala Thursday, 28 October 2010 09:45 AM

    To think that they can say that they will have tamashas for a whole week when people are fighting cost of living .... this is insensitivity plus plus

    Jonie Thursday, 28 October 2010 09:52 AM

    Rathnaweera Thursday, 28 October 2010 10:03 AM

    Nimal "Siripala Dorei" oyatikata nidi. Puduma nidimathak ne. Ohoma thamai Suakiya (Ohuge saha ape) sauththukalama wenne.
