Well unelected president is hoping everything is settled after 18 th. Hopefully he will retire on 18 th. Then younger gerneration can learn how master debate in front of the speaker in the parliament

What is the system change we see? We have seen the same old people, many from SLPP reappointed as Ministers. This is not what was asked by the people. We will be in for a bigger protest that may overturn the whole country with bloodshed. Ranil must ASAP make the acceptable system change to avoid

"The emergency regulations which is currently in force in the country, will not be revoked and will be extended after August 18, President Ranil Wickremesinghe announced today." NOW READ THE HEADLINE

The heading says The emergency regulations which is currently in force in the country, will not be revoked. Then it says that president said "I will not extend emergency and will let it lapse on August 18," Isn't it conflicting?

I know you are a gentleman par excellence, who performs with conviction, but sadly dudes and goons in the governing party, who should be sidelined without delay. It is easy to say, but, difficult to do. Carry-on regardless.

Majority of sri Lankan don't realy understand the importance of running a government to accomplish wealth for the nation and country to moove forward and to have a better lifestyle with housing health education social security etcinfrastructure etc.etc . MR President have so much experience working with great politicians for the past 50years or so And experience with devolop countries than any other person in politics .Sri Lanka need good genuine honest decent educated political circle with proper Reforms to protect the countries wealth for future prosperity of this nation . If corruption bribery influences criminal activities stoped sri Lanka can reach the top easily
