Colombo, Oct 09, (Daily) - In a move seen more as hysterical than having any purpose, two new stamps were released as souvenirs by the Sri Lanka Postal Department today with the faces of Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya and Minister Vijitha Herath.

These stamps were released by the Department to celebrate the 150th World Postal Day.

While Sri Lanka state departments have always idolized politicians, it would have been more suitable if the souvenirs released carried more meaningful messages such as a tribute to the postal workers instead of the newly elected ministers.

Oh my God, just 2 weeks in office, they get stamps , what a record? I don't think anyone had the luxury of being honoured while living. I thought only those who did a meaningful service to the country are honoured long after they are gone. Doesn't this count as misuse of power or violation of election law.

They wouldnt have consented to this. Whoever is responsible should be sacked. The culture of glorifying politicians should end

They accepted the First Day Covers presented with great glee and smiles of satisfaction as seen on TV.

What have they done so far, to launch stamps with their portraits?

This is only the beginning and you will see much more!! Some who voted for them have already concluded that this country is corrupt free and on track for success!! It's a matter of time!! We as Sri Lankan's got played out time and again (2015/2019) and we still have the habit of being radical. We will never learn!! Let's wait and see!!

The day we get Wijeweera's photo on a stamp will be the beginning of the end. This is deplorable. Even MR did not go so far. These decisions need to be approved by higher authorities than the PGM. This is either sabotage or PGM needs to be demoted.
