Now travelling in private jets. There's a saying socialism and communism is there till you get a taste of power and wealth

Travelling in a Jet at the expense of another govt, is far better that feathering nests, like most of the past politicians did during their governing Wednesday, 07 May 2025 12:21 AM
Yes, what's the problem the tax payers didn't pay for it!!. Just goes to show how highly they think of our humble, down to earth President, never puts on a show like they others did for past decades, goes on his own, no family and gets the job done. Doubt our President will never take the taste of power and or wealth to his head, a President and young man who will remain humble all his life no matter where he goes.

He should have caught an express CTB bus because they are supposed to live a simple life of a common man?

Vietnam and China which are both communist countries do follow market based economies outside the government they have a Hybrid system where they govern using communism and the economy is very much like market oriented like in the west so please do your homework before commenting

The jet (private or otherwise) was arranged by the Vietnamese Government. Even if a cargo plane was arranged by the Vietnamese govt. AKD would have happily hopped on board. AKD sought power not to enjoy life and afford himself luxury.

COMMENT COMING STRAIGHT OUT OF THE GUTTERS Wednesday, 07 May 2025 12:29 AM
Tissa, if Anura was a magician, the previous corrupt politicians would have been locked up by now. Hate comments come back to roost. If half of the hate comments we see in this newspaper were aimed at the previous govt's the country would have been a far better place to live in, but unfortunately due to greed, power and building their wealth portfolio's doubt it would have helped, as they didn't give a rats tail about the majority of us.

Haha, so funny, the doctor doesn't know how much a billion dollars is! You can rent private jets for only a few hundred thousand.
What do they (Vietnamese) expect in return? Did AKD know what he was agreed upon?

This is the respect and recognition given by other countries when they see a uncorupted president visiting there countries from sri lanka. Because now they don't have to pay 10 percent or bribe the politicians for the trades or investments they want to do with sri lanka.

After fighting the French, Japanese and US since 1940 for about 70 years the Vietnamese are building a prosperous advanced society. We after 70 years of independence and inheriting one of the most prosperous and most advanced society in Asia at the time of independence are not in the same league as Vietnam
