Thanks. Like the LTTE plague, COVID also chose your time!
Thinking of the collapse of SL’s major income source tourism, you managed well. But one day if you think why you wasted time on both, thinking of the response of SL’s population and the political parties, I will forgive you. It is a population and politicians depend on borrowing foreign debut for existence. They believe the government bringing rice from the moon to give them free and life-time subsidised fuel, electricity, free education and then government finding jobs for them. Since they live in cesspit of they own making, they do not see how things are done in so called developed countries. How pathetic! Let them rub thousand year old granite statues and their proud history, go om protest march and spread COVID to bring the next wave and forget about impending disaster.
“Vistas of Prosperity and Splendour”. More like doom and gloom. Where did he get this meaningless slogan from. It is just a “mantera”
