Veteran actor and comedian Bandu Samarasinghe has been appointed as Sri Lanka’s Consular General in Milan, Italy, sources said.
Samarasinghe will take over the post in Milan following the death of musician Neela Wickremasinghe who passed away earlier this year while serving in the post.
Samarasinghe is one of Sri Lanka's most popular comedians in Sinhala cinema and does not have any previous experience in foreign service. Some of his movies in which he played the role of lead comedian is 'Parliament Jokes', 'Re Daniel Dawal Migel', 'Kauda Bole Alice' and 'Pissu Trible'.
He supported President Gotabaya Rajapaksa during the Presidential Election in 2019.

Chryshan Thursday, 14 April 2022 11:37 PM
Sri Lankans in Italy, please reject him and send him back. Joker to become a consular general. What a govt we have.
Radika Thursday, 14 April 2022 11:48 PM
Sri Lanka today become land of comedian.
gayanrathnayake@mail.com Thursday, 14 April 2022 11:50 PM
'Pissu Trible' for sure. We wonder why we are as a country in this place the first place. May god keep blessing us all.
Ahmad Thursday, 14 April 2022 11:51 PM
No wonder Sri Lankan passport is one of the worst passports in the world. Why dont they appoint diplomats with proper qualification ?

Lakmal Kahawela Friday, 15 April 2022 12:16 AM
Whats gone wrong with our country. He is a good man but doesn't know anything about foreign services.
roni Friday, 15 April 2022 10:46 AM
What a choice, this says it all. GL himself is a comedian.
Bandu Friday, 15 April 2022 10:47 AM
There are good comedians but this fellow is just a joker without any talent - just slapstick only.
Tom jones Friday, 15 April 2022 10:48 AM
Another Good joke by Gota. He thinks Sri Lankan’s are jokers and clowns
Lumbini Friday, 15 April 2022 10:49 AM
This guy was the best candidate for the job (on the President's list)
ravin Friday, 15 April 2022 10:52 AM
Why don't politicos realized the damage they are doing to the country as a whole? We need the vision to build the countries image in international arena at this crucial juncture and not to make the countries image as a full set of jokers and idiots .
Son of sri lanka Friday, 15 April 2022 10:53 AM
Guys and gals in Italy he is coming to teach you the latest dance moves for the kaputas song.What a comefy of errors.
Aiyo Friday, 15 April 2022 10:57 AM
They might be grooming him to be the next finance minister
Neil Friday, 15 April 2022 11:36 AM
Nanadasena has shown to the entire world that he is a bigger comedian than Bandu Samarasinghe. Muruttetuwe Ananda, Galaboda thug, murderer Duminda , Neela Wicramasinghe, Rohana Beddege, and now Bandu. What is happening to Sri Lanka.
Fool Friday, 15 April 2022 11:37 AM
When the ruler of the country is a comedian per se, surely he is unable to decipher otherwise in selecting apt people for the right position... what a pity!!
D S de Silva Friday, 15 April 2022 11:40 AM
Do we need any more proof that gota is and idiot?
Pronto Saturday, 16 April 2022 01:14 PM
I quite endorse your comment DS.It is a fact!!!
Chris Friday, 15 April 2022 11:40 AM
We reject this appointment, and demand that suitable appointees have the necessary qualification, knowledge and experience to represent Sri Lanka and the post. Sri Lankan's in Milan you should also protest against this appointment.
Alam Friday, 15 April 2022 12:28 PM
No wonder we are in a mess.
Shanker Friday, 15 April 2022 01:03 PM
It’s not a strange thing in a country is governed by comedians.
Duminda Friday, 15 April 2022 05:59 PM
I'm not surprised when the country is run by a joker himself. However, I'm sad that majority are responsible for bringing him in to power. What a mistake we all did :-(
Martin Milton Friday, 15 April 2022 06:37 PM
What an absolute disgrace and STILL the person who appoints such people gets away scott free! MM
HOLMES ALDRIC SANDY ANDREW Friday, 15 April 2022 06:53 PM
Who is responsible for these appointments,? What is the eligibility criteria. Want to apply myself,
Marie Saturday, 16 April 2022 10:18 AM
Do they ever learn? Do we ?
Jay Boy Saturday, 16 April 2022 10:20 AM
Maybe Gota wants to divert the attention off him for awhile or he wants to emulate the Ukrainian President by sending a comedian... in this case of course he is sending a joker.
Anthony. R Saturday, 16 April 2022 12:43 PM
"Rae Daniel, dawal Migel" part 2, a Clown of a appointment, shame,Land of comedy of Errors.
Stiffany Toussaint Saturday, 16 April 2022 03:43 PM
What a drop quality. What a first point of contact as a country. Milan must be feeling humiliated.
