Buddhist Lanka is like a parasitic creeping vine on the tree of Muslim Christian Hindu countries sucking and seeking nourishment for its survival

The myth of the doctors continues Thursday, 03 November 2022 09:02 AM

Now, the doctors would take charge of the medicines and start to prescribe them to the patients pretending to be the experts. The patients would say “ my doctor is brilliant”, “ my doctor is next to God, he gave me these tablets and my fever stopped the next day” . The patient’s sons and daughters hearing these from their parents would begin to say “ mum and dad I also want to be a doctor when I grow up “. This is like a comedy film but unfortunately it is the sad reality .

In Qatar, hundreds or even thousands of migrant workers have died on the construction sites for the Soccer World Cup, which was sustained through corruption. Neither safety precautions were taken nor human rights respected. Now the dictatorial Qatari regime is presenting itself as humanistic.

I hoped at last our “slow thinking” politicians have realised the dangers of using Indian made “ copied “medicines. Even the African countries are stopping buying medicines from India anymore after the deaths of hundreds of children who were given Indian medicines.

Today the Indian paid anti Sri Lankan “ psycho “ is very agitated because our government is not buying the “crap medicines “ from India. So “psycho” is insulting both Sri Lanka and Qatar. This “madman” D B S Jeyaraj is using the aliases Punchi and Sokrates. This scum has to be put in a mental asylum in Canada where he is living with his “pleasure seeking” but old wife.

Sterilisation campaign would be good right now to halt worthless multiplying. Sadly we only see it right for street dogs. Better off focussing on street men and women who are a burden on the safety and economy of our country. Go to the 'wathu' and see for yourself!

Why hand over aid to the thugs, racists and robbers that created the crisis in the first place?

@Ananda, ooh we stopped the credit line so the beggar doesnot like us any more. When was the last time you read the news. Its one company that had caused the problem and we took action against them.

Commendable gift, it is imperative , we get ani-snake venum serum, anti-rabid vaccinations, heart, kidney, urinary, cancer drugs etc, vitamins and other drugs too necessary, but could be supplemented by food in take, say, Vitamin C could be supplemented by corriander.

We believe, QATARIS are benevolent toward Sri Lankan compared with Indians who formed LTTE TERRORISTS to destroy our beautiful nation that had experienced more than three decades, losing many an innocent lives in this part of the world.

Who else is left to beg? Sri lanka has not spared even Bangladesh in this begging spree. Situation is akin to like when you spot a begger in front of a temple or church and you take your eyes off him lest he will put out his begging bowl in front of you. Nations will stop taking even phone calls fron SL leaders.

@Taprobana, India helped us defeat the LTTE by apprehending and assisting us to destroy their arms ships. Even now it is curbing LTTE activities. If it was not doing this we would have been dismembered a long time ago. Now the battle by LTTE operatives, Eelam war phase 2 - is being fought in the capital cities of the world and international forums and we are loosing.
