Thanks to Dhammika Perera , many youths are learning job skills through quality education completely free. DP Education also has complete set of lessons for anyone to excel in OL and AL exams. His certificate distribution ceremonies are big motivation to the youngsters to come out of negative thinking and also to come out of the nartow thinking thst government should do everything for them. But only few people appreciate his efforts and many resort to just mud slinging. He made a wise decision of withdrawing from Presidential election because I always thought that he was with the wrong party who would rob him to make him bankrupt as well. I am sure that he will extend full support to AKD, and AKD supporters appreciate good deeds he has done. Please note that he is the highest individual tax payer in this country.
