Good gesture! Great job Mr.President!
Unwanted package on Ranil Saturday, 17 February 2024 07:16 PM
How many roles President Ranil has to play? I am still at a loss to fathom his capacity to play all the roles for the benefit of the nation! But it is sad that garbage like Keheliya and a few others are adding to his woes not to mention the Rajapassas.

Well, he had the opportunity to get rid of Mullakheiya and the other miscreants instead of covering-up for them.

Unelected master debating president in action to promote tourism in my country. Then ladies need to be careful of unelected master debater who loves mile high club. He might ask them to come to his steamy double bed while he’s putting hands in his pocket. To make sure he has done enough internal work
kamal Sunday, 18 February 2024 10:13 AM
at the moment he is the cable person to run the country. elected as per constitution. if you have any problems go for courts.
kumar and Chandra Soysa Saturday, 17 February 2024 07:53 PM
Honestly, I am impressed. IF the GOSL and the Tourist Board do a round of advertising in North America, Europe and England I guarantee the country will be flooded with tourists, leading to inadequate hotel rooms!!
More Budget Flights Needed Sunday, 18 February 2024 01:40 PM
If more budget flights are added from Europe

The elderly white man in black dress looks like a kung fu master!
Tissa Fernando Saturday, 17 February 2024 08:15 PM
Good gesture for the tourists. Unlike the rest of the leaders he can speak fluently and intelligently.
Mohammed intiquab Ghouse Saturday, 17 February 2024 08:22 PM
A very good job the president is doing with tourism, nice to see Jeffrey Dobbs in black with several hotel and the famous weligama Taproban, Elephant pole,Galle literature and many more.
President Ranil Saturday, 17 February 2024 08:50 PM
Ranil would be the right person to be the President for another 10 years.
mario Saturday, 17 February 2024 10:04 PM
Hey This is not North Korea
Tissa Fernando Sunday, 18 February 2024 01:40 AM
Mario, you will be living in North Korea once NPP takes power.
Dee Sunday, 18 February 2024 07:30 AM
Hey Mario, you guys will vote in another Ang Kum Ding and we will end up like North Korea anyways! So get ready!
Amaran Saturday, 17 February 2024 09:24 PM
This is a great initiative by the president. You must always get the first hand information by visiting places.
NAGA Saturday, 17 February 2024 09:35 PM
MR,R R FORGOT NO VOTE IS TO THE TOURIST.
kamal Sunday, 18 February 2024 10:11 AM
you billshipp. this guy is a crase for nation.
Concerned citizen Saturday, 17 February 2024 09:59 PM
Met the foreigner, but never met local people with problems
Not concerned at all,as his vision is right Sunday, 18 February 2024 04:33 PM
Forever you will be concerned. Feel sorry for you
Citizens Saturday, 17 February 2024 11:07 PM
Good job Mr President but meet the locals and look into their burning issues. Also, what sort of respect does that female tourist have for you, to be dressed in beach attire and meeting the president of the host country!! Someone will surely say it was a sudden visit!!
Dont be negative always Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:30 PM
When she s on the beach he has gone to see tourists, hey man.how can she change the dresses at an unexpected visit
Farook Saturday, 17 February 2024 11:28 PM
Mr President please instruct the tourist board to put up washrooms in every city and employ someone to manage very clean with running water by charging say Rs 50. This is a major setback to both local and foreign tourists
Fred Saturday, 17 February 2024 11:40 PM
Where?
kondaya77 Sunday, 18 February 2024 12:48 AM
I would not hire him even as a tourist guide.The slippery turd.
Lk Sunday, 18 February 2024 01:24 AM
He loves foreigners but scared of locals
Rip Winkle Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:35 PM
Hates locals, actually. And that's because they know he's an arrogant, empty shell. He thrives on foreign attention.
Nalin Fernando Sunday, 18 February 2024 02:37 AM
Why is the president looking at a local guy while shaking hand with a beautiful foreign lady?
Rubu Fernando Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:26 PM
Exactly my point. What a endowed female but RW is looking at the male - a natural inclination for him? Had Sagala accompanied him, Sagala would have gotten on his kneels to "worship" all the young male tourists!!
Was Victim Sunday, 18 February 2024 03:22 AM
M President please chase out the tuk tuk mafia and other shady characters from these areas who fleece the tourists and local visitors too.
Ram Sunday, 18 February 2024 07:37 AM
First photo see where the President's eyes are focussed
Sokrates Sunday, 18 February 2024 08:11 AM
@ ROSH. There is no danger for the ladies. Ranil's interests are in a different field.
Nimal Sunday, 18 February 2024 08:17 AM
Do these people know that his party could not garner more than 3% of the popular vote at the last general election and that he is in power without any mandate from the people? Incidentally, he is also on his way out.
Fernando Sunday, 18 February 2024 08:31 AM
Ranil is steering the country on the right path. Go ahead.
warren Sunday, 18 February 2024 09:42 AM
I am bemused by a few comments from some people commentators. Those opinions try to link the president's initiative with votes or elections. Very parochial views indeed! This shows the mentality of some of the people in this country. For 24/7, it is about elections for them. Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe was elected as the president of Sri Lanka as per constitutional provisions and not through a coup or similar means. So, he is the legitimate president of Sri Lanka. He is the only capable leader in this country to hold office for the next ten years or beyond.
sumo Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:21 PM
yeah right. The back door man was elected by a bunch of crooks to defend them. He is doing a bloody good of that. Not asking the police to probe the big, ugly thieves. Such a great leader who can do sod all about criminals.
Sumo Sunday, 18 February 2024 10:44 AM
Has he got no better things to do like making people happy by reducing the cost of living and other urgent matters. Just like Rajapajse opening buildings or bridges of no significance just to get his name on plaques.
Kumar Sunday, 18 February 2024 11:49 AM
Is he wearing sunglasses, so he can staring and scanning at anywhere he wants?
Avanka Sunday, 18 February 2024 12:34 PM
get the robbed assests back without supporting the robbers and imposing taxes and taxes on the people, practice what you preach
A Good Citizen Sunday, 18 February 2024 02:47 PM
He got plenty of time for tourist, but have you got time for disadvantage citizens of Sri Lanka?
Jothinath Palangedara Sunday, 18 February 2024 03:21 PM
Help poor people with medicine and food! No more Pimpi work! Do not waste public money!
Madan Menon Thottasseri Sunday, 18 February 2024 03:36 PM
Great initiative to promote Tourism originated from Office of President who knows the demanding needs of his nation to earn Foreign Exchange!
TOURIST BOARD, TRAVEL AGENCIES AIRLINES AND HOTELS NEED TO DO THEIR OWN ADVERTISING OVERSEAS Sunday, 18 February 2024 04:13 PM
WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER PICTURE IF HE WENT TO THE BIA INCOMING LOUNGE AND MET WITH THESE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS SUPPOSEDLY COMING IN AS TOURISTS. I SEE ONLY A HANDFUL OF TOURISTS WHO LOOK LIKE LOW BUDGET TOURISTS AND HEAPS OF LOCALS AROUND, SO NOT MUCH TO HIT A TIN ABOUT. I AM SURE THEY MAY ALSO BE THOSE RUNNING AWAY FROM THE WINTERS AS CHEAP STAY TOURISTS. ONE VISIT BY RANIL DOWN SOUTH IS NOT GOING TO BRING IN HIGH END TOURISTS.
sumo Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:18 PM
high end? WTF Any tourist is better than none.
Mohammed intiquab Ghouse (inti) Sunday, 18 February 2024 04:52 PM
Mohan,the elderly white man is a millionaire well known in Singapore and Hong Kong, the owner of Weligama Taprobane,Sun house ,Dutch house in galle,Seenemodara,Colombo and many more, he is one of the first person to introduce boutique hotels.
wickrama wijayasiri Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:33 PM
What a disgrace! There is a limit to gestures of begging...... The proverbial lion is reduced to dine on grass!!
wickrama Wijayasiri Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:47 PM
Does he plan in meeting the 'Housemaids' returning from the Middle-east too?
ANURA NANAYAKKARA Monday, 19 February 2024 08:59 AM
PERSONELY I RESPECT RANIL AS A SRI LANKAN LEADER BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE CAME FORWARD FEARLESSLY AND SHOULDERED THE TASK OF REBUILDING THE COUNTRIE'S ECONOMY. HE DEFINITELY MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND PROVED THAT HE IS A GOOD LEADER.
