shame that the President of this country is asking the PM of another country to give more skilled jobs to his own citizens. Why you cannot create more jobs for your own people

Don’t give a cent to the crooks, we are informing Kuwait government of the racism against Muslims in Sri Lanka. Burial problem, cremation of bodies by force. Why go and ask Gnansaraya.
