This nothing new. This is the trend today. What more can we expect when value and historical land in and around Colombo are been readied for say under the pretext of investment. We will finally end up in an "Unbalama".

He chose the land belonging to a wrong Country. Would have appreciated if he sold a part of the British or Alaina's land.

Once Rajapakshas' pardoned a former military officer (interdicted) of a such a fraud over the Rajagirya Walauwa that owned by Honourable Anagarika Dharmapala. That is their culture and nature what 6.9 M people liked. It is what democracy is, in Sri Lanka.
