Hi ranjith,
You missed ‘Saubhagye Dekma’.
Don’t know where they find these fancy words which are empty.
But the citizens have been in ‘sh**” for the past 74 years and will continue to be in ‘sh**’ for the next 200 years.
Mr Roxie de Abrew . Have you heard a board game called “Mono Poly” playing with virtual money and virtual properties. This is the same thing playing with printed value less money. These guys don’t know what they come to do and just to buy time they bring this unworkable projects to save their bacon. But as other fancy named projects this will fail. Then so much printed value less money circulating around the country it will be a disaster. The bottom line is fail to plan is plan to fail. This is the story of Sri Lanka. Just playing on the ignorant of the people.
