How is that most of the drug king pins hide in Dubai? May I know the name of the prominent politician who owns buildings in Dubai.
he should be punished according to the rules of that country in that country Dubai authorities should not send him here, because he will be free to do his business once again.
100% agree with you, Concerned.
If he comes back here, he will either be made a Minister in the New UNP National Government or a leader in the JO (where many of his pals are there) or be made a Presidential Adviser in the Secretariat (again with many friends) and be given Official Residence at Visumpaya.
He may even be made Head of Unit for the Drug Dealer Capital Punishment Branch which is promoted by the King.
Whatever it is is, when he lands in SL, he is bound to become an important person.
