The whole presidential system is a scam. On one hand the people get scammed out of their tax money on the “back door” presidents own election campaign spending and on the other people get scammed with false promises of employment and foreign travel.

Now you turn this into your usual statement. No one really wanted to take over the President position at that time. He did it and it is all within the constitution that was already in place. So stop talking about this for ever. He made the country stable to some extent. At next election you vote for the guy you want.

Scamming is entrenched in our psyche as individuals, families and as a country. We borrow money and avoid returning it if we can. We scam family members, neighbours, relatives, government, each other and anyone we can scam

Tissa, He was installed there by the rajapaksas to protect them. And he has carried that duty out exceptionally. Ranil the narcissist couldn’t give a flying fart about the wellbeing of the citizens except his and his criminal masters,

Sri Lanka is a gold rush for scammers. In no other country are there so many stupid people who fall for this.

Sri Lanka is known for fraud of all kinds, including immigration, money laundering, human and drug smuggling and racketeering. If the government is serious, they need to start cleaning the house from top to bottom, then move to the garden and then the streets. He who has a brain, let him understand.

Anther side to consider why they fall for the scam. May be people think that there are racketeers in the Secretariat who will bend the rules. Not the best reputation.

It is all our fault, we keep voting for crooks to guard the gold pot . Most pilfered from it while the rajapaksas ran away with it. So next time vote smart.

No point in this type of warning as our people are def, blind and dumb. It has to happen for them to learn a lesson.

It is the government's job to be arrest such individuals using intelligence. As public servants, preventing such deceptions may be in the oath you all took. Have hot lines to which we can report suspicious people. Protect the identity of those who report. Give severe punishment instead of granting bail. Study such moves from foreign countries at least.
