Suicide threat
The man who is staging a protest on top of a tall post near the Horton Place round-about is threatening to commit suicide unless President Mahinda Rajapaksa himself comes and meets him to address his grievances.
Negotiators from the Fire Brigade are currently speaking with the protestor and are making attempts to lure him down. The protestor is refusing to come down and says he will jump or take poison if any attempt is made to take him down by force. (Daily Mirror online)

Dear DM,
Your video clip is welcome.
The only problem encountered was that the letters of the posters were not clear.
Would have been ideal if the camera crew was provided with a better effective camera.1 8

That is due to the bad precedence created by MR offering glass of water to WW. This type of things should have not been encouraged. If MR comes today as requested, from next day onwards we could see similar dramas regularly. Do not panic, he would never die, otherwise he should have not worn a protected helmet.

He should have been allowed to remain there for ever without wasting public money by using Fire Brigade cranes etc.

The majority of the previous comments communicate such a nastiness that it seems the commentators have overlooked that there is a human being on top of that pole. If you find out it is a political stunt, then have at it; but first try to save this person's life. Where is your compassion?

i dont know what his grievances are but this creates a dangerous precedence.
Does this mean every one of us needs to climb a tower just to get attention...0 3

adel Tuesday, 14 September 2010 03:56 AM
The best tactic is to ignore the guy, as staying up there since 06am is a rather tough ask. Further the traffic jam he is causing is costing a lot of money and time. Now the President has to attend to this too....... I thought we are going to be a HUB........

rohan Tuesday, 14 September 2010 04:14 AM
Grab the fellow some how with out letting him to kill him self and send him to jail for years or simply listen to his grevences and see what matters to him to that extent and give solutions. Simply two options depends on the richness of the decision maker's heart.

Anyway even if your demands are met you will be jailed for attempting to commit suicide.You will suffer more than your instant death.

let him to jump.....he is wearig helmet... dont worry

anura Tuesday, 14 September 2010 05:17 AM
Everyone should just ignore him. A person genuinely attempting suicide by jumping off does not a) wear a helmet when he wants to die by jumping from a height b) carry poison when attempting to die from a height

suvero Tuesday, 14 September 2010 05:59 AM
I think it is funny that he has decided to climb the same tower that Mahinda used to erect a massive 'cut-out' of himself as part of the presidential election campaign.'Promises made- Promises delivered' is perhaps the subtext.

why is that unwanted tower there in the first place, looks like the whole thing was preplanned i wont be surprised if MR shows up to complete the movie.

Must be another UNPer, pleading President not to take any more UNP MPs to government.

Rajitha Tuesday, 14 September 2010 06:30 AM
perhaps a UNPear desperately wanting to get in the government, who had already been informed by president that he's not interested in taking any more MPs as he's already got more than 2/3rd majority

Good on you !!! did Wimal pay you for this or was it Mervin, the two biggest drama kings in SL at the moment. The country has surely gone to the dogs. Shame on you politician !!! Now Mahinda will come and listen to this man's made up story. Shameless people.
