What a relief that this thug is no more.

DJ Monday, 29 January 2024 08:05 AM

Absolutely

Namal looks so lost, perhaps not knowing who will pay his electricity bills in the future.

roni Sunday, 28 January 2024 08:22 PM

Rajapakse Namal is watching intensely overlooking the grave as the outstanding electricity bills have paid and he can see clearly now. Surely, he would have said thankyou brother RIP till we meet again..

In the lasting memory, connected to the hearts of people, only the people who are good in the moral sense remain !!! Someone who lives selfishly and superficially, beyond human feelings, only for themselves and goes through the world without pity, perceives their fellow human beings only as others and treats them accordingly badly, is lost to memory and to the world!!! The morality of compassion and willingness to help our fellow human beings is the highest value of Buddhist ethics! This applies equally to Catholicism!!! This is how Nisantha's behavior and life is measured!!! What will remain of him then!!!???

Alam Monday, 29 January 2024 01:26 AM

What a waste of resources for this sob.

Sam Monday, 29 January 2024 02:02 AM

No worried about the properties he has bought under Shantha's family names.

S.K Kumara Monday, 29 January 2024 03:25 AM

Though it was supposed to be an event of sorrow and grief when look at some of the faces beneath I see the happiness and smiles. One culprit is taken away yet 225 more in the list !

One can escape the punishment from the corrupt justice system but one cannot escape the punishment from the god.

Rohan Monday, 29 January 2024 05:28 AM

It is RajaKadal and not Rajakadulu. Why are the original Tamil place names in the Puttalam, Chilaw and Negombo areas being deliberately Sinhalised?

ASS Monday, 29 January 2024 12:49 PM

There was a grand Sivan Temple in Puttalam that was destroyed, remains still visible in the deep sea around that area, divers have taken pictures of same. Do not deliberately destroy culture and religion, and earn the wrath for generations to come.

Kasun Monday, 29 January 2024 04:01 PM

Because it's the right of the inbitants to change back to the original names from what the Tamil invaders called them.

Ama Monday, 29 January 2024 05:52 AM

A nation which has NO "justice" has to rely on KARMA for redress. Misused the parliamentary privileges MANY MANY TIMES. Good bye !!

lion Monday, 29 January 2024 05:53 AM

We must be ashamed of our people who respect those who scare the society using thuggery and intimidation, They often use rhetoric in public to scare and harm those who struggle to create a just society in this country. What sort of country we have when people elected a man who was sentenced to death for murdering a person making him the first in the list of preference. The whole system is corrupt to the core even the values of people.

Austin Malabe Monday, 29 January 2024 06:23 AM

Such a waste of state funds should have used the funds to put 50 more beds at Lady Ridgway hospital, even after their passing these specimens are costing the country, not to mention the state funded politicians their secretaries and security staff also wasting time, could have put their labour to better use buy assisting the flood effected families to clean up and rebuild.

Nimal Monday, 29 January 2024 09:48 AM

As if the state funded politicians do any work...

Nimal Monday, 29 January 2024 06:40 AM

What a relief to the nation. This should be the fate of all the other scoundrels who are of the same calibre. However, their days are now numbered unless the master crook comes up with an innovative idea to suppress the constitutional rights of the people.

Nimal Monday, 29 January 2024 07:28 AM

No more electricity bills to be paid. There is something called a Karma and it is inevitable.

senaka Monday, 29 January 2024 07:43 AM

namal's thinking twice on speeding now, poor kids face looks so lost, either that or hes upset due to loosing a thug to do his dirty work

Sambo Monday, 29 January 2024 07:49 AM

Birds of feather flock together.

D Perera Monday, 29 January 2024 07:57 AM

You do good things in your life, good things will happen to you. This is also "Karma".End of the day we all are God's children.

Ahamed Monday, 29 January 2024 08:03 AM

RIP, a big blow to SLPP

S. Samarakoon Monday, 29 January 2024 09:49 AM

The SLPP that destroyed this beautiful Country. May these Members Perish One By One..... Day by Day.

Kalu Monday, 29 January 2024 11:11 AM

I thank god for removing this scumbag from our midst. Many more have to go.

Rip Winkle Monday, 29 January 2024 11:14 AM

Any idea how many 'sympathizers' were bussed in by sponsors?

Gon mina and sons Monday, 29 January 2024 04:24 PM

And now Mahinda Rajapaksa is left with the three dumb sons!

Anthony. R Monday, 29 January 2024 04:57 PM

The wrath of God,Repercussions, and Karma are for sure. Thers No Way out, No escape others watch out it's the Law of God and Nature.
