SLPP MP Wimalaweera Dissanayake said yesterday that like himself, former President's son MP Namal Rajapaksa is also suffering from malnutrition.

While answering a question raised by a journalist during a media briefing that Sri Lanka has become among the countries suffering from severe hunger, the MP said that  not only in Sri Lanka, malnutrition has existed in the history of any country to some extent, but not as much reported by the media.

"Now it is said that the prices of eggs, milk powder, fish and meat are high and people can not afford them. I don't even eat Maldive fish.  So I am now malnourished. Namal Rajapaksa is also malnourished as he does not eat even a piece of Maldive fish. That weight lifting champion from Polonnaruwa (Chinthaka) also eats only vegetables. He is also malnourished," the MP replied.

    I cant stck to this man, but for UN the term Malnurshment means is what he quite rightly says. A new definition invented by the UN.

    Is this an eyewitness account of reality? Or some wishful thinking, in search of foolish sympathy?

    This is the sort of answer you get when clowns are given the opportunity to rule the country....sad to have jokers like this in our parliament.

    Where all looted money ? You are not really malnourished but you are overweight and you need to cut your diets now before you omit all looted wealth .

    Miflah Tuesday, 04 October 2022 03:58 PM

    This is the type of buffaloes we send to Parliament. Look at him converting vegetarianism to malnourishment. This is the type of idiotic Yakko sycophant's who will drink Rajapakse urine if he can get a personal favor from them. Never concerned about the nation or actual status of citizens.

    This man is making a mockery of all the hungry children. Other parties should make web pages, with SLPP MPs vicious pointless talk, so when they go about smiling for votes come election there can be showing the truth of how they are most of the time.

    What a disgrace! Hopefully karma or hell exists after all.

    Election monitor. Tuesday, 04 October 2022 04:24 PM

    This bugger talks nonsense. A big joke. Should be ousted in the next election and never allow such stupid blokes to enter parliament. No common sense, not bothered about the ppl in his electorate, a good number of families eat 2 or 1 meal a day.

    DW Tuesday, 04 October 2022 04:38 PM

    Namal is malnourished!!!!!!!! Are you from a different planet??? Get your brain checked by a qualified person.

    Aquarius Tuesday, 04 October 2022 04:43 PM

    What a load of crap! This is how they sleep at night justifying their corrupt minds

    Kam Tillekeratne Tuesday, 04 October 2022 05:48 PM

    Oh dear lord!! Is this what we have in Srilanka to govern? He sounds so stupid, arrogant and unaware of what malnourishment means! They should have basic qualifications to enter parliament.Not by visiting villagers and giving them money to have a tent put up for funerals and pretending to care.

    Daya Tuesday, 04 October 2022 06:46 PM

    I am not surprised when these politicians utter such stupid comments since most of this class does not speak through the mouth but through the back. So, we should know, what will come out.

    If his talk was translated and shown, it could be seen as why and how the government/SLPP is full the worst type of persons who would knowingly continue to violate human rights. The buffoon in effect saying no increase malnourishment has occurred. Then all the aid we reverie them must be getting wasted. The donations for feeding the needy must be stupid too. Overall, his superficial and insensitive talk shows how much allowance and easy life the government MPs have.

    Two holy babies Tuesday, 04 October 2022 07:51 PM

    It's the best joke front a parliamentarian to utter that you and Namal are malnourished. That means you you both will be not fit enough to enter the parliament once again.

    C Fernando Tuesday, 04 October 2022 09:13 PM

    Probably true. They say malnutrition results in impaired brain function. Clearly that’s the case with this buffoon as well as the other one he speaks of.

    Manda Budhdhiya? Wednesday, 05 October 2022 07:05 AM

    Is this Manda Poashanaya? or Is it Manda Buddhiya? Definitely this is Manda Buddhiya because he is making mockery of citizens' poverty and hunger. It also shows his arrogance, that he is insulated from all short comings as Parliamentarian with Mahinda!

    MirakRajBanda Wednesday, 05 October 2022 08:53 AM

    When I see from the viewer gallery in the parliament, I see only the clowns escaped from the circus.

    Jef Wednesday, 05 October 2022 09:40 AM

    People read this stuff from out side world sri lanka have no class quality and professinalisam no wonder country in dairstraight pure third world third grade stuff....

    I am patriot Wednesday, 05 October 2022 11:19 AM

    Government is saying on other hand they give more meal to school children, while this man is saying all that is barely necessary just because him and his fanatically vegetarian associates are all eating well. Our country is cursed because our general public seems to vote for MP based on their religiously chosen diets. End result is the mad talk like that of MP Wimalaweera.

    Gayantha Hemachandra Wednesday, 05 October 2022 01:10 PM

    Guy might be telling a certain truth… the prodigal son of old myna might be suffering from malnutrition as he also eats everything starting from food to public funds…… NEELAKASA THIEVES….

    Gon Miniha Wednesday, 05 October 2022 05:52 PM

    He is obviously well fed. He is mixing his vegetarianism and advocating for it, skipping over the the real issue of growing poverty and hunger. The public voting for fools who for religious reasons choose to eat certain things or not based on their beliefs is the underlying cause for fools such as him talking this nonsense. Public must not vote for person based on religious and cultural activity otherwise worse MP than him and Namal will happen.

    You forgot to mention NAMAL eats caviar at home, while we eat sprats (halmasso)
