Opposition MP and Pivithuru Hela Urumaya general secretary, Udaya Gammanpila yesterday asked President Maithripala Sirisena to request the Indian government to recall its High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Y.K. Sinha, for what he called 'interference in domestic affairs.' He said this while...

British exploited the power struggle between the Muslims and Hindus in India. But in Sri Lanka, British created a Tamil elite group from the scratch to dominate Sinhala majority. They created the problem in Sri Lanka rather than exploiting it. See you skipped my question again and has begun...

So I'll ask again. What the heck is Sinhalese supremacist racism? Care to explain. BTW what is wrong with you? It seems that you can't even bear the opposing viewpoint from your own.

We are facing some tough times now. But staying hopeful that darker days might pass for good. No. You don't understand Mr.Nihonjin. Sirisena is a puppet planted on the thrown by India and some Western countries. Pretty much everyone despise his rule including the dictatorial PM Ranil...

Totally agree. I'm really humbled.

Then China should needs to understand who is our present PM is. You know some can't handle the pressure. You have to learn a lot from @rott

Good move sadly got delayed by the stupid people running the present government. Anyhow I highly suspect China would consider allowing friendly concessions to Sri Lanka after the diplomatic row both countries had after 2015 January.

There is no large scale incentive to move into organic farming. Last government tried it on small scale with some degree of success. But they even couldn't replicate it on the nation wide level. Farmers no longer use the traditional paddy seeds. They are now used to the more modern bio...

The conditions of the state workers are not as bad as the article suggests. Though it is not also satisfactory. Even though the women earns less money it contributes heavily to their ordinary income when both the husband and wife are both working. As @ Gibbs explained they also get lot of...

Sri Lanka was way ahead in quality of living for the past half a century. In fact we were the best at once in whole of Asia. Anyhow people needs an inspiration nowadays.

Muslims are not united at all. Look how Palestinians and Jordanians fight with each other. Look how Iranians and Saudis fight with each other. It's just a mess.

I have added my views on the matter in the earlier posts. But what I can't stand is why you people rejects MR efforts to develop the country. According to you and Godman whatever MR has done is wrong but what ever Yahapalanaya done is right. I don't think that is a fair answer. That's why I try...

Are you running away like a whipped dog now?

Colombo is already developed uncontrollably. I don't how on earth any one make a good use of the so called zoning without doing major overhaul to the Colombo proper. There are roads to be widened, Rail network to be modernized and that Metro system to be introduced. I saw the "Megapolis" plan...

So the answer for the urban sprawl is to make logistic cities, forest cities, IT cities etc.,. LOL what a futuristic thinking. Like Sri Lanka don't have anymore domestic airports. I bet the new domestic airports will generate enough ROI so people like you can be happy. So what? Sooriyawewa...

There is no one in aviation sector that is against Mattala other than the ones who are politically biased. Mattala is built on the best spot to cater the air lines. If u want more details I can elaborate. However the irony is that the people who scolded at Mattala are now suggesting to built...

Those projects were done without proper feasibility study or a planning? This is a pretty derogatory statement that defames the engineers both Chinese and Sri Lankan who have worked in those projects. Not even Chinese spend their money on projects that are built without planning or feasibility...

Well, though MR took loans from the IMF he made sure that IMF didn't have a say over Sri Lankan internal matters. AFAIK; IMF purposefully delayed granting some loans during the final phase of the civil war in order to bring MR to the heel. What my point here is about not taking loans. Rather...

I think Kalu Suddas can cheer now.....

IMF and World bank. They are both same in what they do. No developing country should welcome them into their countries. And oh yes the ADB too. What Sri Lanka need is an injection to the economy to kick start the already halted engine. MR realise this and took loans from China to develop...
