Magen Ratata Organization President Sanjaya Mahawatte claimed that the Sri Lanka representative for Mrs. Grand International 2022, Chamika Withanawasam, had allegedly been asked for sexual bribes. 

Rasangi Chamika Withanawasam participated in the beauty pageant that was held in Mandalay, Myanmar, from November 8 to 14, while representing Sri Lanka.

While describing the tragic situation faced by Mrs. Withanawasam, the Magen Ratata Organization also claimed that they have a copy of the agreement that was made with the MR Entertainment company.

Mrs. Withanawasam claimed that she had been forced by the director of the MR Entertainment company, Malith Ranasinghe to take sexual bribes. An audio recording to prove that she had requested to use drugs that were banned in Sri Lanka was released to the media.

Malith Ranasinghe who represented the MR Entertainment company was tasked with organizing this international event in Sri Lanka. Mrs. Withanawasam had made an agreement with the said company to represent the Mrs. Grand International 2022 pageant show.

According to the agreement, the responsibility of maintaining the beauty of Mrs. Withanawasam for the pageant was up to her, and the expenses of representing the beauty pageant were to be borne by the MR Entertainment Company.

Mrs. Withanawasam, who was selected for the pageant to represent Sri Lanka, had left for Myanmar. After she arrived in Myanmar, the local organizers informed her that no payments for her participation in the panel had been made.That had made her very disappointed, and the pageant organizers informed her that she had no chance to participate in the contest without making the payments.

Later, she requested that her husband, who was in the United States, send money. According to Magen Ratata organization President Sanjaya Mahawatte, by the time she had paid, the place for her to represent the country was gone.

    Have beauty pageant only for unmarried Tuesday, 22 November 2022 07:53 AM

    Mrs. contestant is worse than prostitute who work to provide for her children. Only unmarried woman should be allowed to display themselves sexually attractively to get assessed for their value to men! Have beauty pageant only for unmarried

    Looks like our Beauty queens are tutored by politicians such as Mervyn Silva, SB Dissanayake who believes any publicity is good publicity. Little do they realise or care for the big damage it causes to our motherland.

    If Malith Ranasinghe was supposed to make all arrangements why didn't he pay the fee for her entry?. Why didn't she check before she left whether the payment had been made?. Last but not the least, why didn't she get on the next plane and return back to Sri Lanka. Why did she have to go to her husband to ask for payment for her entry?. What is this claim of proof that she had sought to use a drug that is illegal in Sri Lanka?. She also claims that she was forced to have sexual bribes, with whom?. Beauty is but skin deep and who the hello is going to a country where the armed forces took control and sent the elected head of state to prison, hundreds of thousands of minority people has to flee the country, killings and burning of their homes etc. Whose insane idea was this to send a entrant in the first place?. These questions should all be answered and if her claim is found to be true a court of law needs to deal with this matter.

    Sri Lankans have not grown up as a nation or as individuals always quarrelling with each other or playing truant. The authorities should do something about it SL already has poor image internationally getting worse. There was decency and dignity in the 60's and 70's what happened?.Take action don't waste time talking about it the country is getting left behind

    Mrs Sex attribute show Tuesday, 22 November 2022 02:32 AM

    Mrs. Woman who parade themselves for beauty are parading themselves sexually. Mrs. Prostitutes do it to learn a living, while the beauty pageant Mrs. are like them in essence but wanting status for being the sexual best looking. The Mrs. craved to want to show off her sexual self, and although she used her husbands money failed with it. Whole scene is a disgrace for these sexual shows, which should only done by professional prostitutes. Only non-married woman show be showing their sexual worth, the Mrs has to become divorced to show her worth the stranger men.

    Have to wait and see how the legal application heard and the progress. Very cheap way of approaching a woman, met only once at the time of signing the so called fake agreement. In Sinhala we called 'Hanuma data Pallamallawa.

    Dots Tuesday, 22 November 2022 03:48 AM

    A story indeed .A lady goes out to represent the country .finds that she was cheated by non payment of entry fees ,request her husband to pay the fees .Are these private organizations that use the name of the country for what ever event? Is this permitted?

    So sad our damsels fleeing food insecurity and poverty get sexually exploited in the Middle East. Our well to do damsels need to provide sexual services to achieve their objectives. Maybe all this is karmic retribution for our armed forces forcing women into sexual servitude in the North and East. What a sad situation after 74 years of independence our women are being exploited as never before

    Prostitute honest work compared to devious Mrs pageant Tuesday, 22 November 2022 07:50 AM

    She want the man to pay for her pageant activity. It's a disgusting expectation. Of course fair she provides sexual services for the man, as the beauty pageant for married woman is perversion. Who's she trying to attract with her physical beauty, some more men?

    peerweer Tuesday, 22 November 2022 02:01 PM

    It is high time that these inept beauty pageants be stopped in our country. Our women are much more valuable and better-off than be displayed at beauty pageants. First it was removing the crown from "going to be" divorcees. Now this. Please, Please Stop Making Our Country Rubbish.

    Enough of these married woman body shows Tuesday, 22 November 2022 02:54 PM

    There too many beauty pageants for married woman. What kind of perverted persons want to describe and measure up the physical looks of married woman with regard to (sexual) attractiveness. It's a dead end, and next there might be Mrs 50 beauty pageants.

    Hansani Tuesday, 22 November 2022 06:58 PM

    When you listen to the video this woman sounds like a prick tease. She is leading him on. If she had any principles she would have told him to bugger off.

    Quolp Tuesday, 22 November 2022 11:56 PM

    Chamika Withanawasam should have known before participating such an event, it is a global order, pleasing concerned party sexually is widely acceptable norm.

    Nana Wednesday, 23 November 2022 07:17 AM

    This is nothing new, beauty pageants are all that. Those who contest are who is ready for these..

    CITIZEN Wednesday, 23 November 2022 08:51 AM

    The starved dude must be a member of the Ganja-woman's Club whose intense interest is night life and entertainment!

    Tom Thursday, 24 November 2022 01:33 PM

    I took a listen to her audio clip. She was very obliging to meet him and was more than offering her presence and now she wants some buck and attention out of this. Cheap stuff
