Ajith Saturday, 08 September 2012 09:57 AM

Thank You..

Ankoore Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:04 AM

Not Pot Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:17 AM

Please Mr. Mervyn Silva commit suicide as soon as possible. It wi]ll be a blessing in disguise and save the goverment and the people of this country a recuurent headache..

Calistus Jayatilleke Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:10 AM

Wow, the best thing that can happen to this country! Please go ahead, please!!

cxcb Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:01 AM

waste of time, this guys talks hell of a lot of rubbish !!!

jiffry Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:26 AM

DM why are you wasting your time by interviewing this person.He talks like a saint but how many families getting destroyed by the drug peddlers?

Rubert Vanderkoon Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:41 AM

Admireable the minister is taking steps to prevent mass cull of innocent animals for blind beliefs. Best wishes for a succesfull protest and to save many innocent animals.

Rubert Vanderkoon Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:42 AM

Predominantly Hindu states in North India like Haryana, Haridwar, most areas at least are pure vegetarian. This is ironic in a way that a god or goddess affiliated to Hinduism is associated with killing innocent animals. Blind faiths have to be ruled out from the constitution.

Shaik Ahamath Saturday, 08 September 2012 11:06 AM

I used to think Mervyn Silva was an ignorant thug but this interview revealed he knows a thing or two about world affairs. He came across as a concerned human being, fighting for the welfare of the defenceless. I am warming up to his stance on animal sacrifice, which I abhor with a passion.

shan Saturday, 08 September 2012 11:25 AM

OK Gohead
for future S/L

b.balaraman Saturday, 08 September 2012 11:42 AM

congratulations for showing compassion to animals.thank you,from a person who loves all god's creation.no religion says to sacrifice animals.the devotees do not want to sacrifice their animal instincts,instead are sacrificing poor animals. you have spoken loud and clear.

raymond Saturday, 08 September 2012 11:44 AM

Please, please, go ahead and commit suicide. Thank you

IVJ Saturday, 08 September 2012 12:05 PM

I bet you won't!!

kapa ta Pissu Saturday, 08 September 2012 11:53 AM

If he commits suicide n dies, then we hv to bare the costs for a state funeral as well. Pls merv. Don't kill yrself. but give up everything n go back to farming in Tangalle.

Nimal Saturday, 08 September 2012 01:02 PM

Please do it! We don't want people like you for this country...

mnsmart Saturday, 08 September 2012 01:41 PM

Thank you in advance..

Nadi Saturday, 08 September 2012 01:52 PM

Five minutes in the psychiatrists chair would produce a fairly accurate diagnosis. Don't blame Mervyn he can't help himself- blame the employers.The most salient features of the Lankan political system are the absence of integrity and talent. Imagine Sweden or Holland being governed by such people.

Rahu Saturday, 08 September 2012 02:26 PM

Pray to have a hell forever

A Ahamed Saturday, 08 September 2012 06:19 PM

Really good decision save the future of SL, thanks lot jayawewa

Chandra Saturday, 08 September 2012 08:51 PM

Our Minister of Public Relations wants to commit Suicide.! LOL!
Thats Public Relations for you
Aney Minister please dont commit suicide, we wont be able to laugh anymore if you and Wimal are no more.
Please keep entertaining us.
Question Minister, do you know what Public Relations means?

Siraj Saturday, 08 September 2012 09:22 PM

Mr.Mervin! I appreciate you because you are sacrificing yourself to save many sacrifices and I beg you to stop crucifixions as well and sacrifce you. God bless you.

Perera Saturday, 08 September 2012 09:40 PM

What a relief!

Engine Driver Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:04 PM

Music to my ears! Oh no ... We want the clown to hang around for a bit longer!

Moda Raja Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:20 PM

I wonder how they had animals without trees in Europe and Middle-East. This guy doesn't know any thing.

htc Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:53 PM

go ahead... and mr rubert vsnderkon... check your back and talk about other countries

Hussain Saturday, 08 September 2012 11:45 PM

It looks like nothing has happend so far. Its only a ruse as everything of his. He is what is called in the West, a " Bull Shitter" par excellence. The guy loves life, why should he end it?

patriot Saturday, 08 September 2012 11:38 PM

I think he has more brain than all the other politicians.

Kallu Nariya Sunday, 09 September 2012 12:19 AM

Please do commit suicide. At least the people of SL won't have to put up with you then. By the way please prepay for your funeral so we don't have to foot the bill.

Jagath Leanage Sunday, 09 September 2012 06:03 AM

I can remember how Anurudda Ratwatte tendered resignation after the bomb blast at Sri Dalada maligawa. Later, he said, due to the request of public he has withdrawn the resignation. Likewise you too will tell similar thing. Gimmicks of politics :(

Jagath Leanage Sunday, 09 September 2012 06:06 AM

If Mervin commit suicide I too will follow. I am saying this because I am sure I will not have to do it

Tony Sunday, 09 September 2012 08:03 AM

Today I had fried chicken for lunch. I do not know who killed the chicken. Can Mervyn find out the killer punish him.

Richardson Sunday, 09 September 2012 08:15 AM
