Dear Mr.Mervin silva

All the best
Great Job Mr President. This IDIOT played fool thruoght out his carrier which brought shame to our great country & great people. SHUT your stupid mouth & get lost now MERVIN.
Mr Mervin. stand up with a courage.You always stood for the right.Supplying more and more beautiful ones to the….. will definitly help you to regain everything. keep on suplying needed angels…. O.K.
Sad to see Mervyn Silva end his brilliant career in this manner. Mervyn reflected society’s true frustrations. The public servant’s response to the dengue epidemic was pathetic. They are good at attending meeting whilst the Sinhala Buddhist population were dying like flies.
Mervyn’s reaction to the callous approach of the public service to the dengue epidemic is understandable. I, as a long suffering Sinhala Buddhist citizen of the Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka, empathise with him.
Mervyn reacted similarly to the destructive journalism of Rupavahini bureaucrats some time ago.
The problem is that we use the decadent west’s scale to measure our behaviour. And funnily enough, the decadent west has different standards to behaviours all over the world. For instance, the US commits war crimes in the open in Iraq and Afghanistan. No complaints about that. Their leader, President Obama, was even honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize!! When HE President Mahinda Rajapaksa eliminates the Terrorist Tamil Movement and its Sun God Leader, the west is after his blood for war crimes.
When Hon Wimal Weerawansa protests against an unlawful action of the UNSG, the west and its followers in the Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka, raise their eyebrows.
Mervyn Silva is a colourful and patriot leader who dealt with unsavoury happenings with passion and fervour. His unsurpassed commitment to the Sinhala Buddhist Citizens of the Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka will be cherished for ever and for ever.
I propose that his career be honoured by offering a scholarship to political science undergraduates in a university.
abeykoon from Aus have u seen in here anyone who done something wrong will the Australian companies tie them to the trees. What will you do if your father didn’t go to work because u came from Australia and Mervin Silva ties him to the tree. what will you feel? Where is the law? Or you still like the old law? Have u seen keving rud got punished becuase he didn’t do his job. So don’t u support for kevin rudd, since u stand as abeykoon from Aus not sri lanka. Please think before u write. If government servent has done something wrong, try act as the modern policies.
Guru Sathyadasa says When u mentioned Sinhala Buddist how about the other religions. Specially tamils? I am not a tamil but if u think u are buddist and only think about buddist, then there is no use of winning the war. Mervin should be loyal all the nationalities. As a buddist did u suffer anything? As buddist think about what will happen if u born to a tamil family. then what will u say? Be open to other people. who ever has red blood then everybody is equal
Note: How much is the government servent get paid? DO they have mobile phones and landlines? Who will take the responsibility of answering the call in government offices?
Dear Melbourne,
You live in a country ruled by the white men who committed significant human rights violations against the indigenous people of the land. The Prime Minister who had the courage to stand up and apologise to the indigenous people has been politically assasinated into oblivion.
Two things I wish to reiterate.
1) Mervin Silva is a hero representing the common Sinhala Buddhist masses of the Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka. Mervin stands against the tyranny of the public servants who never, ever care for the Sinhala Buddhist people. Had the public servants done their job properly without fear or favour, the Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka would now have been the true pearl of the Indian Ocean. Had the public servants done their job properly, even the late Sun God would not have been born to terrorise the Sinhala Buddhist Citizens of Sri Lanka.
2) The Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhala Buddhist Citizens. The war aginst the terrorist tamils successfully carried out by HE President Mahinda Rajapaksa has proved this fact. The Commander of the Armed Forces who carried out the war said this in public while the war was being fought. The remnants of the terrorist tamil population is now in barbed wire camps and they shall be kept there for ever and for ever. The lands and wealth illegally used by the terrorist tamils should be returned to the rightful owners, the Sinhala Buddhist Citizens of the Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka without any further delay. Hon Namal Rajapaksa should be made the Executive Prime Minister to carry out the remainder of the excellent work done by his illustrious father, HE President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
to melbourne & Greg Sathyadasa
Comments should be about “mervyn silva stripped of deputy ministers post,SLFP membership cancelled” therefore what the fu…both of u donkeys ar talking religions & other issue++ mr.prasident has taken necessary action even bit late against mervyn because his foolish & over reaction behavior, if you living in sri lanka every day u’ll herd funny things about mervyn , so behalf of sri Lankans please kindly talk about the real matter
Every family has a black sheep. Mervyn is unfortunately the BS of the SLFP. HE the President has long tolerated Mervyn due to longstanding friendship. However, enough is enough. The summary justice Mervyn meted out on a hapless local official who Mervyn perceived as having defied his diktat was the last straw.
Mervyn has a history of being a maverick within the party. He has thus brought ignominy to his party and the government. He is led by his emotions than his intelligence. He has a reputation of hobnobbing with mafia thugs who provide him with a private militia of gorillas in return for his ‘protection’. Mervyn is not alone in this type of low-brow politics.
Under Mahinda Chintanaya there is no room for this type of mavericks who follow there own agenda led by their emotions. Everyone in UPFA must work in unison to make Mahinda Chintanaya a success for the good of the motherland. We cannot sit on out laurels now that the LTTE is vanquished and VP has been sent to hell where he belongs. Wake up! LTTE is being resurrected like the proverbial phoenix. they have billions of dollars in their secret bank accounts in the West. KP has been cunning in playing along and deceiving the government into thinking he is playing ball with them like Karuna. Actually he is not. KP is an evil, crafty sod. He is secretly plotting the demise of MR and the government even though in captivity with all the creature comforts perhaps. He pretends to give valuable information about LTTE bank accounts and assets when he has not. LTTE ships are carrying on business as usual, ferrying LTTE escapies to Canada to plot the next militant uprising in SL to capture the whole of the island for their Tamil Nation or eelam empire which encompasses Tamil Nadu also. Anandasangaree, Dharmalingam, Devananda et alia, who fled from VP, are joining forces with TNA to clamour for Tamil nationalism once again. The ordinary Tamils do not want it. They recognise themselves as Sri Lankans working in harmony for a better future for themselves and their children in a united SL. Unfortunately, the Tamil nationalism card is being played again, supported by the imperial West who have their own hidden agenda for SE Asia dominated by USA as superpower. USA hidden agenda is to engineer break-up of India into autonomous States so that India can never be a superpower.
MR through his Mahinda chintanaya is a serious threat to the aspirations of USA and the imperial West. It is paramount therefore that SL remains united as one multi-cultural and multi-racial nation. Mavericks like Mervyn is a thorn on the side of the government in its fight against the enemies of SL. They fail to see the bigger picture. We cannot have indiscipline within the party and the UPFA government. It is quite right therefore that HE the President stripped Mervyn Silva of his cabinet position and suspended him from the SLFP till the outcome of a disciplinary hearing. MS can ofcourse make it worse for himself by joining forces with the enemies of UPFA and motherlanka such as SF, Avamangala, Ranil, Ravi, Karu, TNA, diaspora Tamil LTTE, imperial West et alia.
Dear ganesh
I am replying for a post in the thread, I don’t have a hope in government. If you strip off the position you should cancel the security and facilities. If somebody sack mervin how he still praise government. Thats not how he behave. I hope as a educated person in your educated brain can understand this….
Don’t think Mervin will be out for long….
