I placed signature 21,000 times to extradite Mahendran from Singapore: MS
Former President Maithripala Sirisena said that as the head of state, he placed his signature 21,000 times, over a period of three days, on documents compiled by the Attorney General in order to prepare for the extradition of the former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran from Singapore.
Addressing at an event held in Polonnaruwa on Monday former President Sirisena said that he strongly opposed the appointment of Singapore national Mahendran to the post of Governor of Sri Lanka's Central Bank.
However, former President Sirisena said as only a few weeks had lapsed since the formation of the coalition government, at the time of the appointment he was compelled to agree with the former Prime Minister's decision to appoint Mahendran, in order to avoid disagreements between the two leaders.

Even if you spend 5 seconds to place one signature, 21000 signatures will take roughly 30 hours. Did you get a good applause for making this comment?

To get to 21,000 signatures, he would have to place a signature every ~7 seconds, continuously for 12 hours a day to achieve this in 3 days. Really? Sometimes it's better not to talk, but he doesn't seem to know that, just like he doesn't know maths.

This works out at 5 signatures per minute every minute of the day without eating sleeping or doing anything else. No wonder his Presidency was such a disaster. He had no time to think.

21,000 in 3 years is 7,000 per year. 583 per month and 23 times a day. 3 times per hour. Now we can understand why no other work has done during his era.

Apparently former President Maithripala Sirisena opposed the appointment of Mahendran as Central Bank Governor because he couldn't appointment his own man for the job and shared the loot himself. No wonder he was sabotaging and brought the downfall of the Ranil Wickramasinghe Government.

Instead of signing 21,000 times, you should only have read the extradition agreement with Singapore once. That says very clearly that in a case like this, extraditing a citizen of Singapore is not possible, you fool.

C. P. DeSilva Tuesday, 02 June 2020 09:21 AM
Telling lies is one thing, but telling stupid lies is another! In 3 days, if you take time out for sleep, food, hygiene, travel, etc., you have a maximum of about 30 hours working time. If you sign 21,000 times in 30 hours, that mean you would be signing about once every 5 seconds. That is without any interruptions for talking, or discussing any other issues relating to looking after the country as a "head of state" etc. Basically he is saying that for 3 straight days, he was not doing ANY other duties regarding his position of running the country, only signing every 5 seconds, to get Mahendran back.
