Aney, Gahapu padekuth nehe – Bere paluwakuth nehe. But thanks for coming back to give an opportunity to take you to the court to those who claimed to have mountains of evidence of wrong doing, but never could produce anything. Bye!
Good bye good riddance and stick to your former job as a Jet petrol station attendant USA which is more suits to your intelligent. Thanks for your ” splendor and prosperity” slogan as a result the country is on its knees.
Ranith,
My Dear,
Hope you will stick to your ‘profession’ as an international Toilet cleaner earning more than Exec P + PM.
Ranjith, you should let SL society and its leaders alone; we can look after ourselves while you are inhaling white man’s fart fumes everyday.
But, not to worry about the country being on the knees for long. We have Dhanish Ali and Wasanth Mudalige waiting on the wings. New blood, youth and new thinking to usher Sri Lanka to prosperity through 5* democracy. Only a matter of persuading one to run for the presidency. Cardinal should be able to do that bit.
