Dear Udaya,
Please don’t worry. This is pure political witch hunting of the Yahapalanayaists.
After a couple of days or maybe a couple of weeks, you will be out on bail.
After that, you will be permitted to go overseas for medical treatment.
While undergoing medical treatment overseas (which your good friend, the Health Minister has failed to provide) you can attend to the overseas Bank Accounts which you have.
Before you go overseas, contact Mr Bond Mahendran for advice on how to deal with overseas bank accounts. He is an expert. Also, don’t forget to bring a 1 million rupee suit for Mr Bond M. He will love it.
Good work but this is not enough to this MR’s c*** sucker.
