This so-called artist/comedian gets bail after damage been done! She got to apologies unconditionally! Freedom of expression cannot be "Malicious" speech!

What is 'MALICIOUS' Speech!!??? Could someone erudite DEFINE THAT WORD!!!??? Whether English, Sinhala or Tamil is immaterial, before they allege various individuals!!?? HE the president, claims he was ‘studious’ enough to declare that he has acquired his vast knowledge and acumen, as a student at a Premier College within 0.5 Kms of ‘his’ HOME! It’s UNBELIEVABLE as fact, because all legislation he has CARVED OUT, UNIQUE NICHE – 5 decades has a significant LACUNA – DEFINITION of ACT of CRIME isn’t complete or left, very “Loose”! Either directly involved by himself or under his Governance by “his underlings”!!?? ISN’T IT “CONVENIENCE”!? There has been litany – misdemeanours abounding on criminal misadventure!!??? Some of which during the tenure of his erstwhile dear Uncles’ Presidency – 1978 to 1989 It’s TIME for Change – better and not for worse!!??

Personally aware he was at Royal alongwith Anura and Dinesh for good company!!!?? Perhaps misfortune in student ‘FROLICS’ at this Great Educational Institution NOT BEING TUTORED/ENCOUNTERED, Famous Teacher 1955 to 1984, Mr Christie Gunasekera – VP (’84)l!!?? He would have taught RW define whatever RW uttered in his adolescence, back in inimitable “crisp tone” to “DEFINE”, and if any had gumption, to question, what do you mean by “Define -------?”, the crisp response would be, “First and foremost DEFINE, WORD DEFINE”?, confounds student further, which ended “to and fro”, by ECG himself, proffering ‘answer’ – Define ‘DEFINE’, clearing the air, then comprehends better, spelling answer, word DEFINITION!!?? Failure of the ICCPR as enacted by Government law makers in COLLUSION with Opposition!!?? All in ‘GAME and DELUSION’!!!??? Reason – ALL 225 w/o EXCEPTION must be KICKED OUT!!!??

Well known fact, Adage - "ONE MANS' FOOD IS ANOTHERS' POISON"!!!??? No two Human minds WORK alike SYNCHRONOUSLY??? Boundlessly different!!?? Whither FREEDOM of Speech and Thinking!!?? The indiscriminate use of ill-defined ICCPR does not promote “FREE THOUGHT AND SPEECH, ON THE CONTRARY STIFLES”!!?? Together they, STIFLE desired “Sri Lankans CRITICAL THINKING”!? All Bull --------
