No problem who cares.Wait isn't devaluation what caused most of the problem.Don't worry about the fuel price it will be subsidised by the indirect tax taken from poor people.Soooo sri lanka.What a joke

I think we need to have Modawansa as the finance minister to stop the slide.

200 is a defendable score in T20. Wish USD touches that fast. We all can have a sigh of relief

Under rw the people got 173 per usd... now already mahinda is giving the people almost 178 per dollar. What a great king for our nation haha! When mahinda took over in 2005 the usd was 105, when he left in 2015 it was 140.

No worries guys. Gammanpila said early this month that petrol can be given at 95/-. It will be done soon. So wait and have patience. Weerawansa says that during the RW time dollar was only 171/- Now it is 177/-. Says in one week they have managed to give more value to the dollar. And everyone clapped!!!!
