According to a survey held on worker population, the working hours of a government sector employee is 2 hours and that of a public sector employee is there hours, said Herath Yapa, Labour Department Employees` Education Section Labour Commission recently.
He was addressing a Mahapola `Nana Pahana` education programme, held at the Deyyandara M.M.V.
He further said that Sri Lanka has the lowest production fertility rate in Asia. In 1977 the late President J. R. Jayawardana had pledged the country would be developed like Singapore. But it never materialised, he said.
A country progressed when production in agriculture was increased. In developed countries, agriculture was developed to its highest potential, Herath said.
The commissioner added that in Sri Lanka, increase in workers` re-numeration was not commensurate with the increase in input. The workers debateed on salary anomalies but did not put heart and soul to their work, and the economy kept divindling daily, Herath said.

Our public sector has to be reformed. When there is no incentives, no one performs. We have one of the highest number of public servants to population. Our public sector has to be downsized. Go to a government office and see if anyone does anything. The answer is to Privatize everything and confine the government to the role of a regulator.
However, as long as we have power hungry oppertunistic SWINES like the JVP, it will not be easy.
If that PIN GONA Mahinda Rajapakshas, Workers charter, was passed it to law, we would have had the LOWEST prduction rate in the WORLD. That is why his his OWN governmenmt, pulled the rug under his feet. And now this Brainles bafoon wants to be president. Just imagine the plight of the country if this bafoon gets together with the JVP and comes to power. NO one would be working. Everyone will want free salaries, free this , free that, strikes every day....
I hope the people of srilanka will have the brians to understand this. |

Capitalism
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
You have 2 cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
AMERICAN CAPITALISM:
You have 2 cows.
You sell 3 of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all 4 cows back, with a tax exemption for 5 cows. The milk rights of the 6 cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all 7 cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns 8 cows, with option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with 9 cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buy your bull.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of 4 cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
You go on strike because you want 3 cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
A BRITISH CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
Both are mad.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows, but you don't know where they are.
You break for lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
You count them and learn you have 5 cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
You count them again and learn you have 12 cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION:
You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you.
You charge others for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You claim full employment, high bovine productivity and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION:
You have 2 cows.
That one on the left is kinda cute. |
