MR issued so many Bar Licenses for his relations. This also should be traced and tracked.

Appoint Mervyn Silva as Excise Commissioner because he has the experience by closing Bars in Kelaniya.

Schools are not established like Bars, it take years to build a school, it is the so called International schools that are seen in every nook and corner like Bird Dung. Bars are opened overnight. All these BARS SHOULD BE CLOSED.Mr. President you are doing a good job. Please clean up the country as much as possible of big time racketeers, and rogues who has plundered our money.

Banning the sale of liquor within the vicinity of religious places and schools is justified, yet it should also be applicable to the religious and schools, they should not be built within the vicinity of a bar or a night club. On the other hand its not democratic for allowing some persons to sell liquor and not allowing another.

Stop eating fish, mutton, crabs, shrimps, eggs, cakes, even Vegetables. Scientists have proved that plant have life and they breathe too.... Stupid Morons.... let everyone do their own thing and do NOT try to stop the cultural aspects of some section of SL society... SL is NOT owned by the Buddhists, Buddhism came from India like Hinduism and Islam... Give the country to the Veddahs and get ur ass back to India...
