If he presented the solutions in the Chamber for the Minister to review, consider that would have been better. Shows the level of mentality he has, whats the point of protesting like that. Joke

This silly comment reveals nothing but the difference of two characters even though both happened to have same initials and the surname. One is none other than the double doctor N. M. Perera and the other is just 'nothing' Perera!

All students stand up. Say good morning to the master. This is a “Bali Maduwa “.
