I am still waiting for your 3 Singapore style state of the art hospitals, Megalopolis city ( from Colombo to Homagama and beyond) and Volkswagen factory.
Brother Ranjith, I do not think 3 Singapore style state of the art hospitals will ever materialized in SL because the Health minister Rajitha like to go to Singapore to get treatments from state funds. Volkswagen factory in K’nagela never saw the light of the day. Regarding ‘Mega-Polis’….there is only Katharagama Police now with shoot to kill policy. PC Elections are around the corner and we have to take these statements by politicians with a pinch of salt.
