Dear Sir, Not so long ago, you presided over a rotting economy and a rotting security network.
Any excellent economic moves by the UNP were sabotaged by you because you were dreaming of the 2nd term as P with others.
You kept the security portfolio under your sarong and went to S’Pore to buy clothes despite a high level threat informed by India.
Sir, what a shame you are.
As taxpayer, I am paying you privileges as an ex-P including a mansion in Paget Rd.
Guy,
You hit the nail on the head.
This person’s governance of our Nation was driven by his power-hungriness.
The only thing he focused was his 2nd term and he was hoping the Big Blue Brothers will nominate him as a candidate.
This person was a disaster in a much more larger scale than the ex-P, late RP.
The biggest laugh in my life was when he lectured about Mandela in the UN to an empty chamber.
Another big laugh was when he went to visit the Queen and his sarong was slipping!
As a taxpayer, i am disgusted that I have to provide his entitlements including the mansion in Paget Road.
Guy, I do not requires his lectures; the Nation does not need his stupidity.
in fact, he has made World History as the first ex-P who is a backbench MP.
