Why don't the minister and deputy take an unpaid vacation? That way, we can save money to support the jobs of those in need.

Sri Lanka's hardest working sector is not happy that they might have to start working again.

"Mrs Banda said she will bring rice even from the moon to feed the people. A saintly lady!" Have heard a LOT about her and CWE in late 1970's!!! Why not, remember now more ‘succulent’ details too, The Ministerial supplier of – ‘hard to come by’ – Dried Fish, "Karawala Hora" AKA 'Perve' by DAY and "ODD JOB" Boy (OJB) at nearby Rosemead – ‘Tinted Rock’ - Residence by 'Night', was well known and his accompanying, "POLITICAL CLOUT" of OJB the Perve in “whispering” a complementary word for “RISE OF" many!!!??? Those were the ‘SWELL TIMES’ we all had opposite present-day Capital Maharaja

Oh well, the overstaffed state sector needs reforms. Some reforms are painful. If you are on leave, you are still getting paid.

Cause of misery Saturday, 16 September 2023 07:56 AM

Most of them are past their prime age, and to expect them to start all over again? Let us admit that Lanka is a welfare state even though we do not agree. There is no room for honesty and efficiency. The nation is controlled by rogues and the corrupted. There is no use blaming a single person. Our concept should change. Even the so- called socialists are no better than the Pohottuwa! We worship the corrupted rich and those in power, without realizing that they are the cause of all the misery.
