Yes. That's right. Not all of us can afford 7 course meals at the Shanhri La no...some of us have to eat peasant food. The 5% in urbania wouldn't understand hunger. They need to be in the gym everyday to get rid of their obesity (I mean prosperity).

How. Wonderful MR has waved his magic wand " ABRA--CADABRA " and the consumer prices has gone down. The people will go in line to worship the resurrected king. When reality starts to bite our country will be indebted to china fo hundreds of years. You think King Mhinda cares.He will be playing the fiddle while Mother Lanka Burns.( With a capital "B".Andrew

This is real stupid. The problem is the number of rationally thinking people are more than the foolish people who can be deceived by temporarily cutting a price of things by a few rupees.
