Do not let the buggar out. Namal still thinks his brother is a punchy baby and had nothing to do with the financial side of Carlton Sports Club and that it was all to do with Yoshitha’s former girl friend. Apparently Yoshitha’s slate is clean like that of a baby’s bum! The rascals!
Hi Udurawana,
Have you heard the term “Innocent until proven guilty”. What is it with you guys? Is jealsosy, Ignorance or just brain dead. How many times have the Mr family members or associates been taken in to custody and then sent back home. This is the Yahaplanaya way of taking away the focus from their mis- management of the country. If MR did all these bad things then I think some of the ministers who was with him at the time and jumped the fence should also be questioned. Or are they forgiven because they joined Yahapalanaya.?
Udu, “buggar” (correct spelling “bugger”) is incorrect reference to the accused in this case.
Bugger is a slang word. The term is a general-purpose expletive, used to imply dissatisfaction, or to refer to someone or something whose behaviour is in some way displeasing or perhaps surprising. As a verb, the word is used by the British to denote sodomy.
The accused is definitely not a “bugger”. Please mind your language.
S Fernando, Yahapalanaya is slowly but surely catching up with corruption during the MR era.
Some ex MR era Ministers have been given portfolios for the 2 year period of UNP-SLFP co-existence.
There are others including close relatives who are either in remand or out on bail facing charges.
No corrupt person will be forgiven; forgiveness is the role of God and not a role of human beings.
Still there are snakes and furious reptiles even some carnivorous animals hiding inside despite of yoshitas arrest.this is the beginning .
S Fernando,
Remember there is no smoke without fire. The hoodlums of the former regime plundered the country to accumulate their wealth exponentially within a few years which the honest folk cannot even dream of accumulating working their bum off a whole lifetime. The rascals have catchers, informers and supporters in every aspect of governance in our country including the judiciary. This is the main reason in the delay in bringing them to book. It is painfully and slowly happening though. It is like taking two steps forward and one step back the net effect being still moving forward. All crooks even if they are hiding within the joint government have to be weeded out and all ill gotten wealth recovered. Mattala Airport and the port at Hambantota are typical examples of plundering the national wealth. These are now white elephants but the illegal commissions earned are enormous.
Peter Ramesh de Zoysa,
Thank you for trying to teach me my English. Remember this blog is not for proper writing in English but only to express one’s opinion on matters of interest. Even those week in “kadu” can express their opinion without being picked on by people like you. It is similar to writing emails where conveying what wants to say is what is important. Using your analogy people weak in “kadu” should neither write emails or blog!
Have you heard about the medical professional who served as the abortion doctor for the MaRa family members and their friends when the hoodlums were in power. Well the buggers might want to try out what is truly meant by the word “bugger” now. My language was and is quite in order for your information.
His father, mother, brothers and relatives should be with him, remanded for all the corruption scandals they have done.
