Technically, the mason paid Rs.0.10, I paid Rs.0.10 as well as 22 Million people in this country for that ring.

Only Minister Daughters can wear 2.2m rings while those in that same village cannot afford a meal.

Will there be a charge on the minister, for buying a diamond ring worth 2.2 million, with his meagre pay of Rs.2,150/- per day? i.e. Rs.65000/30 days. The minister will have a Tin Tin cartoon story to justify the ownership of the ring.

Open bathroom and the CCTV caught the suspect taking the ring. CCTV must have the recordings of what the guest do or how they use the bathroom. Where is the privacy for guests

Magistrate must have followed the SC judgement where the person who took the tsunami money amounting to 80M returned the money and went home scot free. In Sri Lanka if stolen property is returned there will be no charge

When you get things free, you forget the value. Mason could have kept it as he picked it when there was no owner.

The system is the main reason for such rouges to be in the parliament and use all the powers to enrich themselves. Same system allows them to stand above the laws of the country while others are bound by the law. This ring is belonged to Prasanna Ranatungas daughter who was found guilty for taking bribes but in this wonderful land he is still a minister.
