    Please handover the medicine imported for Keheliya from Singapore to these people.

    What a joke. Privatise the thing and the queues will disappear overnight, and the peoples suffering in the hot sun come to an end.

    Everything cannot be PRIVATISED. The private entities will charge EXORBITANT PRICES and as such people could not afford to buy. As you said "Queue will disappear" because NO ONE WILL COME TO BUY, if privatised.

    Also the price will increase immediately when privatised. Even in a country like USA the private companies rip off people. Tablets on antibiotics causes $ 70 here.

    I always thought you respect elderly people more than we Western people do, but I was wrong, we never let elderly wait in the sun or rain like that.

    While Keheliya gets his medicine from Singapore, we the idiot voters and citizens, wait in line for precious medicine. Just imagine the situation for the people living out of Colombo ?????? Ranilta jayawewa

    Most of the Elderly waiting in the scorching sun are the patients who need the medicine. Mind you they are paying for medicine. It’s not doled out free. Can we let our people suffer like this?
