I will be subjected to an eight-hour-long, decisive surgery  SJB MP Harin Fernando said yesterday. “ On the 01st of May this year, I went through a similarly decisive test in life,,”Mr. Fernando said in his Facebook post.

"During this short span of time, experience has taught me that not only every day is a challenge, but life itself is a challenge. Needless to say that I learnt a lot of lessons of life by living through this. I have faced risky trials and tests in my life, with regard to several matters. I have never backed down from facing challenges and risks. But, facing a test that is completely life-related is a real challenge. I am ready for that too. It is strange to face the same challenge twice in life," he added. "I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart, who enquired about me, prayed for me and who keep on praying for me from the time I was hospitalized, as per their beliefs and even those who trust in nature. The massive support from the people makes me even stronger. I am fondly reminded that every one of you adds a very broad meaning to my life. I was strengthened by the heartfelt blessings from every single one of my family, my doctors, my friends and colleagues. I think it was God or a divine force of nature, which timely warned me at two most crucial moments, even when I was not feeling any physical discomfort. I still cannot believe that it so happened. My conscience prompts me that I have to dedicate my life for the enhancement of the lives of my people indicating that I have to commit myself for the people, who strengthened me and those who supported me. I have always stood for the truth and what is right, as per my conscience," he said.
