Opposition MP Chamara Sampath Dassanayake today urged the Speaker to take action against a COPE member who had referred to him as 'Badulle Bada' during a recent meeting of the committee.

"This member of COPE had obviously referred to me as 'Badulle Bada' as there is no other MP in Badulla District with a large belly. It is obviously me as others in Badulla including Minister Samantha Vidyaratne does not have a pot belly," the MP said.

"You should advise the COPE members and tell them to behave during meetings," he added.

No offence to you, Mr Sewage Pipe, but he was making a reference to "Badulla Sea" in Korean as "bada" in Korean means sea or ocean.

If he is a Bada, Tilvin should be named as Ginikoora. Fair enough right?

Well, you admit that you have a pot belly. So the description fits, and what is the issue?

Badulle Thana? Badulle uru bada? Badulle thanthosai? Names like these should not be used on Sampath

SAMPATH, TAKE OUR ADVICE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT REDUCING YOUR WEIGHT FOR YOU OWN BENEFIT. Tuesday, 18 March 2025 06:39 PM

READ THE ABOVE COMMENTS AND AM SURPRISED HE IS OFFENDED!!. LOOKING AT THE PHOTO OF HIM IS PROOF OF THE PUDDING. WE CAN ONLY HOPE HE SERIOUSLY THINKS OF VISITING HIS DOCTOR AND REFERED TO A DIETICIAN AND GOES ON A SPECIAL DIET TO ENSURE HE LOSES SOME WEIGHT AND ALSO FOR HIS OWN HEALTH IN ORDER TO AVOID HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING FROM BEING OVERWEIGHT.

On the one hand, the NPP government says it uplifts diversity. On the other hand, members of NPP insult people based on their diversity. So, it seems that those members do enjoy diversity in their own way. For instance, for them, 69-year-old Tilvin is aiya , and 75-year-old Ranil is seeya. What an irony.

I won't be complaining, I'll take it as a motivation to reduce my weight considerably. All you need is discipline your self to not to eat crap.
