Can AKD speak English ? AKD will be able to demonstrate how his men do RAGGING at Universities. How his TRADE UNIONS engage in Strike damaging coperate sector.

Wherever he goes he needs to carry his translator Vijitha Herath who himself has no idea what the heck the other person was saying.

Ranil may want a loan from Elon Musk.

Ranil might have been better to ask Elon Musk to consider setting up a factory in SL to manufacture Tesla Electric Vehicles for export to India and local consumption.

Are you dreaming? Sri Lanka has one of the most uninviting labour laws and high cost of electricity alone with all other obstacles with a tiny market

Tesla is not going to India. Sri Lanka and India have a free trade pact, which allows tax free car sales between the two nations. If we can secure Tesla, just with the sales to India, Sri Lanka can become developed in a few years. However, this meeting, unfortunately was not about Tesla, it was only for Starlink.

Musk is wearing a T-shirt. Our president meets him in a tie. Ruwan is in full suit. Disgraceful.

Ranil meets Musk! A memorable event! A loser meets a "winner in capitalism", who is also a "misanthropist"! Musk is convinced of his "greatness", is extremely rich materially, but poor in compassion and warmth of heart!!! People only serve him for his own ends!!! It is comforting to know that he too is subject to mortality and cannot escape it!!! A word from Buddha's teaching is worth more than all the wealth of a Musk!!! Buddha's teaching remains for all time!!! Musk cannot be an example for humanity in the future!!!

Actually to be honest, it s a grace occasion in ranil's lifetime. He s not bent like maithree or sajith . But Harin is eying on that lady

Elon Musk was supposed to fly to India and meet with Indian politicians and officials few weeks back. Indian papers in anticipation of the visit were full of praise for Elon Musk. But then suddenly Elon Musk cancelled the Indian trip and instead flew to China and met with Chinese leaders. India was humiliated !

Asking for half-price Starlink Sunday, 19 May 2024 05:08 PM
Sri Lanka has expensive priced internet. WHo can afford the full priced Starlink. But if Musk provide free Starlink to Ukraine which rest of his customers subsidise why not he do the same trick here, and provide us with below cost Starlink, like half-price. The Europeans, and Amercians can subsidise for us.

Ranil will do a good job and a recognized person with all influence, but any thing with Rajapaksha pressure is not able to be himself.

Talk about Starlink while plotting to sell SLT. Its pretty obvious whole purpose of the visit to World Water Forum is to get a photo-op with Elon so he can make newspaper headline to fool people.

Yes. He is Royalist and speak good English. Also, Elon Musk requested (begged really), the PMO to grant him opportunity to meet RW.

Comments indicate that there are many who appear to know how to be a President or even Rlon Mask. But unfortunately their abilities are limited to writing in these column. If they meet Elon Mask they will find difficult to carry on a discussion.

If jeppa meet him it's gonna be a disaster. He will ask about either 'Puwak" or Karunka.

Just because someone is good at English doesn't mean he/she can develop the country. How much Ranil has done to this country with his 'English'. Our country will be in the same place as long as people have such outdating ideas. And what's wrong with talking about 'Puwak' and 'Karunka'? Sad to see how narrow our people's thinking are.
