    A slap in the face of the judicial system of Sri Lanka. A convicted killer promoted as a VIP. These kind of things can only happen in Sri Lanka.

    Wipula Saturday, 17 July 2021 10:54 PM

    Boris Vanculenberg Saturday, 17 July 2021 11:21 PM

    No wonder! I thought he would be appointed as a senior cabinet minister. Good democracy, good example we are showing the world! Damn disgrace!!

    Truth matter Saturday, 17 July 2021 11:44 PM

    vince Saturday, 17 July 2021 11:48 PM

    I thought this reprobate had brain damage during that infamous shootout. What does this tell us about the Rajapakses. For me they condone murder. WHAT A DESPICABLE FAMILY.

    Sam Silva Saturday, 17 July 2021 11:54 PM

    Sri lankan blood Saturday, 17 July 2021 11:56 PM

    Anton Weerasinghe Sunday, 18 July 2021 06:51 AM

    Today I made my last wish, which is not to be born again in Sri Lanka, but in any other country as a Buddhist

    Andrew Silva Sunday, 18 July 2021 07:05 AM

    B. Bandara Sunday, 18 July 2021 08:50 AM

    Time to leave this SHIT HOLE.

    VJ Sunday, 18 July 2021 08:56 AM

    What a sigh of relief, I was thinking he might be made the defense minister after bringing him in to the parliament via the back door. But again he is a technocrat in some substance.

    Ceylonese Sunday, 18 July 2021 08:56 AM

    You don't need to be qualified to get a job under this Government. You have to be either a murderer, rapist or a drug addict. No wonder there is so much crime in this country because everybody is competing with each other to secure the top jobs in the country. No wonder Sri Lanka is called the wonder of Asia.

    Karl Sunday, 18 July 2021 09:00 AM

    What's this!?!.....we expected a cabinet minister appointment!

    Anura Nanayakkara Sunday, 18 July 2021 09:04 AM

    This clearly shows how foolish and gullible our so called Hon. President. Shame on you, sure to lose next election. This appointment is to sell and make under hand dealings regarding selling and allocating govt. build houses to friends.

    Anura Nanayakkara Sunday, 18 July 2021 09:12 AM

    What a shameful act is this by Medamulana gang of organised robbers to rob public money during selling the housing commission built houses to their friends.

    Sunil Sunday, 18 July 2021 09:18 AM

    What an example set for our future generations. Great move

    Andrew Silva Sunday, 18 July 2021 11:55 AM

    If this is the mentality of our leaders Iam asking the young do your best to immigrate to a nother country for your prosperity. Don’t postpone you will retreat.

    Lion Sunday, 18 July 2021 12:59 PM

    Here the law is what is termed as law by the family. Law exists in the law books is not valid any more.

    Lion Sunday, 18 July 2021 01:43 PM

    This will be good news for the housing sector. After years of mismanagement now we have someone who can deliver and streamline on matters. We must all do our part to develop the country.

    Anura Hettiarachchi Sunday, 18 July 2021 02:17 PM

    Bandu Monday, 19 July 2021 11:23 AM

    Dumb voters won't care. They will vote for the mafia again. Media is too timid to publish any negative stories. Opposition have their own crooks. Salute the Sri lanka flag........
