This is a good example of the proverb " Closing the gate after the horse has bolted".

There's news item here that says Prasanna Ranatunga declared the BIA will continue to be open for arrivals and departures. What the hell is going on? (Exports, manufacturing industries depleted, Total dependency on handouts from tourists and aid donors)
