A protest was held at the Agitation Site near Galle Face Green by a group of individuals who were eligible for the Korean E8 visa, which provides seasonal employment in Korea's agriculture and fisheries sectors for about five months. However, the Korean Embassy has deemed the existing agreement regarding these jobs, signed in the past, to be illegal, resulting in its rejection. The protesters claimed that inefficiencies within the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau (SLFEB) are jeopardizing hard-won employment opportunities for Sri Lankans in South Korea. The protesters also claimed that the E8 visa received for 67 individuals are expire by November 26. Pix by Kithsiri de Mel

Are you living in Sri Lanka? Do you know how many people are either unemployed or working in jobs that don’t pay enough for them to maintain a decent standard of living? Many people have gone overseas, including to Korea, where they have earned good incomes. Upon returning, they have built houses, purchased cars, and improved their quality of life. Until the country can provide similar opportunities, people will continue seeking employment abroad for a better future.

I think you should be fair, if you had the opportunity, would you not go abroad ? Why deny the chance to others ?
