    Look at UK. Now and Hindu is the Prime Minister. Can a Hindu ever become a Prime Minister in Sri Lanka unless he fools the people by becoming a hypocrite like Bandaranayake or Jayawardena by leaving his own religion for the sake of politics.

    Not a surprise that Indians are taking over Sri Lankan requirements. World does not seem to know that the 2 countries are at loggerheads .r

    Do not grant any Financial assistance to Sri Lanka , until Presidential and General Elections are held. At present a gang of looters are ruling the country.

    IMF is hell bent on destroying this nation with the connivance of the elite. They are well aware the the current plight of the country is because of the dishonesty of the elite including the President who master minded the Central Bank bond scam. What does the IMF do? Tax the innocent and the export sector.

    We can’t have a Tamil Hindu in top political and economic positions in our Shinhala Buddhist paradise due to our hatreds. But is OK to send our Sinhala Buddhist damsels to work as maids cleaning latrines in Indian and Ceylon Tamil households in Malaysia and Singapore. I had a conversation with an Malaysian Indian Tamil who complained that at the time of Malaya independence almost all Ceylon Tamil households had little Indian girls as maids. Now the tables are turned and Malaysian Indians and employing Lankan’s as maids

    The repercussion of the IMF Residence' visit will be felt soon in Sri Lanka that must get ready to face another ARAGALAYA which is to be instigated by this US agent.

    Sri Lanka (SL) at the time of independence (1948) was a much richer country than what Singapore at its separation/independence (1965) from British / Malaya. Despite all its advantage then, SL is standing at the World Highway with a begging bowl for its next meal ticket why? Go no further than look at the comments provided above. We are more interested in people’s country of origin, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation etc. But not their skill sets or capabilities. This is how, we managed to chase away talented, skilled professionals mostly Tamils from this country and replaced with sub-standard induvial because of their ethnicity or religious beliefs or right political connections. Open your eyes and see where this has led this country to; while those emigrated from this country are doing well overseas. The countries they emigrated to are ever happy to embrace these readymade talented individuals - ONE MAN’S LOSS IS ANOTHER’S GAINS.
