Sri Lanka: A Systematic Country Diagnostic - World Bank

[Godman]

So the answer for the urban sprawl is to make logistic cities, forest cities, IT cities etc.,. LOL what a futuristic thinkin

Are you trolling? or are nuts? You better stop wasting my time if you can't say anything intelligent because my patience for your stupidity and ignorance have a limit.
Do you even have common sense?
You just mentioned the way to organize cities and end ad hov developments.Zoning increases efficiency and reduces uncontrolled spread of the city. Gampaha Residential city will concentrate on as a residential area but as the Megapolis plan shows there are residential zones within industrial and Technical cities. Urban sprawl in the Megapolis has been reduced and efficincy has been maximized as well as the zoning of land makes investing in certain sectors easier That's a basic thing in modern urban planning. Megapolis also envisions an international financial center and several Business districts which will increase financial and banking activity in SL.
Your idiocy is now getting even more humiliating. You jumped into this thread saying dumb things but this level of stupidity and uneducatedness is unsurprising specially from low life worshippers of MR. Will run around praising white elephants but do not have a brain cells to understand simple urban planning.

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.

The domestic airports were requested by certain tourism companies. Hell there is a large demand to remove the SLAF base ratmalana and Palaly and give more space for civilian activities. Mattala can be put to use if the SLAF can remove their bases and relocate them to Mattala. The SLAF Katunayake is a major pain for BIA Expansion as Mattala was a failure BIA is reaching its limit.

So what? Sooriyawewa was built to play cricket without the hindrance of rain. Besides there are matches played in Sooriyawewa stadium.

How old are you? Saying "So what"? Sooriyawewa is more than enough. Hambantota Rajapaksa temple will notget any matches till it exists. And even further Hambantota stadium WASN'T built to be feasible Self obsessed ego maniacs only want to make things that glorify themselves. MR was only interested in having a Giant stadium, Convention centre ,Airport and a Port named after himself.

Well tell me what are the differences between MR and the old great kings.

Well what are the first things needed to developed before the construction of buildings. Lets analyse.

It's unsurprising that you will try to sell the kings of SL for the political gains of your scoundrel masters. You already sold the image of the country and patriotism. A traitor like you don't really care about them.

They have already een discussed in other forums and places. Hambantota population is 90% rural and lacks basic facilities such as water. Dropping buildings found in major cities won't going to develop the area unless significant urbanisation happens. Again common sense and basic urban development.

You are always a waste of time. I am not sure why a insignificant parasite was even born and specially to destroy SL. The only thing you can do is show your stupidity to desperately protect your God King.
Stop posting here if you can't tell a single intelligent things even if it's to hide the destruction of your masters

If HeinzG can't tell anything intelligent you should leave this thread. Jumping into this thread like a caveman shouting some irrelevant nonsense and then singing Hossana to his dear king.
Don't have the intelligence to understand zoning , urban planning and sustainable development and the only thing that can be understood is making random buildings.
Even a teenager could understand creating separate "cities" specialising in different areas and each of these areas being further organized into different zones which each type of zone getting a certain area depending on the purpose of the area it's situated in.
The Airport city is designed to have industries that use the airport and it's residential zones are aimed for people employeed in aviation and airport city related activities.
Same goes for Horana industrial city and Malabe Homagama Technical city.
I can't help dumb idiotic cavemen who can't be educated and brought to the 21st century.

I have wasted enough of my time on educating idiots who can't learn. Don't waste more of time on your idiocy

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 has included them into their objectives. But without any modernizing of the transportation system, no zoning will be an effect. Moreover I don't know how would the UNP cope with the slum dwellers. It was the UNP that protested very heavily against removal of slum dwellers during MRs time. Gotta see how they cope with it.

IMHO it's just a media stunt to fool masses like yourself with big words. But in reality there is nothing much in it.

Mattala can be put to use if the SLAF can remove their bases and relocate them to Mattala. The SLAF Katunayake is a major pain for BIA Expansion as Mattala was a failure BIA is reaching its limit.

As a person with some knowledge of Aviation sector. I haven't heard any one complain about removal of Ratmalana airbase. Because it's the main base of operations in SLAF. Anyhow at least you agree that SLAF could use Mattala for there operations. Without Mattala where would you suggest it to be relocated?

So far the demand for domestic air travel is at very minimal level. Even Sri Lankan tried lure tourists to use the sea planes but it also didn't achieve much of a success. As a country of the size of Sri Lanka we have more than enough domestic airports to operate. I don't see any reason why there should be any more unless of course for achieving political sensation by saying "we will give airport". AFAIK, RW has now promised airports to Haputale and Kandy.

Why won't it attract any matches? What is wrong with that stadium?

As far as the cricket is concerned Sri Lanka had only 3 grounds with seat capacity beyond 30,000. One is R.Premadasa the other is Galle and finally Dambulla stadium. Therefore is it wrong to built two modern stadiums with capacity of 34,000 seats. As the statistics goes both Pallekale and Sooriyawewa have almost similar number of matches played. But you tend to bash Sooriyawewa because it is named after MR? How pathetic you are.

Just tell me what are the difference between MR's work and the works of out old king's?

Building are to be constructed where they are needed. Not where people live. In fact it is difficult to put large buildings in residential areas. So many large development is done in areas where their is minimal residential activity. People move in after the development is done. I haven't thought you are that dumb to not realize it.

You are just repeating the same BS all over again. After making stupid and dumb nonsense and then changing it and repeating it in a different way.
Your too idiotic and don't know how development works and keeps ranting the same nonsense all over again.
You are too dumb or lacks the braincells needed for understanding anything. No point in repeating it again and again for a brainless cultist

Are you running away like a whipped dog now?

 

[Godman]

Are you running away like a whipped dog now?

Is that the best you can say? After continuing your stupidity and public worship of politicians like gods now you are acting like I am running away? Learn your place you low life traitor!
Typical idiots of MR! I have trashed your stupidity already. If you want go and worship a statue of MR. I have no time to waste time on a blind idiot.

IMHO it's just a media stunt to fool masses like yourself with big words. But in reality there is nothing much in it.

You just showed your blind stupidity right here! There was NO need to continue replying to these childish and ignorant moronic babbling of yours! But if MR'S Dog wants to get whipped more you got it!

The megapolis plan was created after his in both local urban planners and Singaporean Surbana. It's a extra long term project like the Mahaveli project and the systematic development will continue until 2030 and a separate Megapolis Authority will be legalised and set up Under the Megapolis Ministry.

You jumped into this thread with your political and irrelevant ranting and hijacked this thread and ruined it. You can't take true development and talks nonsense. After I explained everything AGAIN you still continue the same Idolatry of MR. Do you think I am stupid enough to allow you Hijack this thread further? This thread was an analysis of SL economy making such stupid and obvious tactics for further get more food for trolling won't worker.
You better run like the DOG you are and lick your kings feet. That's the only thing a TRAITOR like you can do

I have no time to waste on a stupid idiot like you. And making such stupid posts won't get you more attention than a idiot like you deserve

If @HeinzG wants more bones to feed his trolling don't expect them from here. Trying to hijack this thread from the beginning by ranting irrelevant nonsense like a mental case.
MR's mentally sick dogs should find some place else because there is no place for your barking here. Don't think you can crash into every thread and turn it into MR deifying thread and destroy it by continuously repeating moronic statements to send others beyond their patience and try to restart the same by making such obvious tactics trolls use to get fed. So find a better place howl

@HeinzG .. If you do not have anything of value to add to the thread regarding the economy of the country, Kindly piss off.. We have read enough of your repetitive hero worshiping BS, Nobody here bought in any politicians to the thread nor mentioned any names until your shameless slavish mentality just could't resist the urge

So you can have your circle jerk off with that other moron all you want fantasizing about your mustachioed master elsewhere.. But spare us the disgust

I have found out lately that there is absolutely nothing of consequence or value for me to have any correspondence with you, So consider you're self ignored

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 to make you understand the importance of MR's work.

No point in explaining to these brainwashed idiots who think kicking the Japanese ADB out and taking loans from just one country will keep their politicians in power longer. Hell China is a major share holder of the ADB.
ADB boss is currently in SL after meeting the PM in Davos and even he mentioned low tax revenue problems.
ADB offers $2bn for Sri Lanka's recovery

If they can take the proper measures ASAP then the IMF option won't be needed. But they will have to take some unpopular measures

Rather unfortunate.. I respected him as a patriotic poster for the longest time so even with his sometimes prejudiced and racist nationalism i tolerated his views, Because in spite of all that he had very valid points when it came to sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country which i too would never compromise

But lately he seems to have completely lost the plot, Just like his political masters, Just turning every subject and thread in to politicization and hero worship.. It's just futile to make any sense or have a constructive discussions with him, So with reluctance i had to put him in to my ignore list so i can have fruitful discussions with others

Back to the subject the problem i see with ADB and the IMF proposals for fiscal consolidations is that this government gave way too many populist concessions in order to gain votes through the last two elections.. Some of those measures advised would lead to political suicide especially when it comes to the already bloated public sector and the heavily subsidized Agricultural sectors.. It's going to take an immense effort to ignore such sentiments

How sad can yahapalanaya get? All they have done since coming to power is beg, beg and beg... whether it's for GSP+, money from their masters in the west, money from the World Bank or investments. And when they receive some crumbs like the 18 million euros from Germany they beat their drums and hail it as some massive super duper achievement. An absolute joke! Pat yourself on the back Sirisena - you did so well and the pride you have brought Sri Lanka from your begging trip to Deutschland shines so brightly it blinds as all.

You would think that a responsible government would try and create a country that doesn't depend on economic handouts, but this is yahapalanaya we're talking about. Turn the country into a shameless banana republic that bends over double to the west and India and depends on economic crutches; that's what amounts to sound policy to the douchebags in power today. Jaya Sri!

They have finally done the right thing and increased the proper taxes (Although I am mixed on the Capital gains tax)

I expected a very negative reaction for the capital gains tax on the short term however it went well

There was an article in a newspaper saying several SOEs will be restructured and some will privatize some shares. However the newspaper was Rajapaksa leaning and was fear mongering against privatization so it's still unconfirmed but I do pray they go ahead with the plans

Sri Lanka should use the chance to overhaul the public sector and tax system for the long term. The goal shouldnt be to pay back maturing loans of fmr regime which are dragging our credit rating down but to maintain fiscal discipline for future sustainable development.

Sri lanka had a very dumb idea that keeping low taxes will boost investment which resulted in our tax revenue going down below recomended levels. Despite initial uncertainty tax hikes boosted invstor confidance. Sri Laka should aim on achieving 20% tax revenue per GDP by 2018 and MAINTAIN it.
SOEs such as the SriLankan ,Mihin should be added tp privatization list alongside Lanka hospitals etc.

How is the tax hike increased the investor confidence.

Why is the sudden urge to increase the tax? Don't you think UNP has screwed up the economy?
