MR does not seem to know the meaning of Nepotism.He seems to spread his political tentacles as if the country is his serfdom.His conduct is far worse than Mrs B in the 70's which was illustrated by the family tree by Wickrema Weerasooriya at the 1977 electtions which contributed to JR securing a landslide victory.MR and his family alone will be responsible for the SLFP's loss at the next elections,

It is not a 'minute' sliver of the population, versed in English that can 'make' it to the higher professions .. un-like former times. That was what I was trying to get through to you

A Muslim MP died...so his seat must be filled with a Muslim...


This is Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka where they can do anything they like because of sovereinty. This is the only country where the constitution allows them to pass discriminatory laws against the ethnic or religios minorities, there is no safeguard in the 1972 Constitution. They also included 'Unitary State' in their Constitution but if you point out these injustices you are branded as 'racists'.

Ahmadinaja:

So, I guess Basil being an MP and possibly a Minister at the next reshuffle, will have more access to MPs in Parliament..


You must be commended for your master skill to turn any story to a line that fits your color... thats why I suggested that you take up Rambutan's role... indeed, if MR finds that you are such a loyal disciple, you may be offered a position in the Parliament and you can replace Rambutan....

What you rationalized may all be true... but, shouldn't the country's president have other an obligation to look impartial? Basil already has all the privileges he needs... this appointment is clearly nepotism... Yamunal is correct...

You must be commended


lolz..Well as I told you the other day, I like rambutan (as you people call him)...u may not like him, but he has a spine to speak his mind..not like any before him..

Nepotism or no nepotism..this is politics..where you move your players with a final goal in mind..

LTTE do that too..why do you think then VP brought back Charles Anthony and reportedly handed him the rudimentary Airwing of the LTTE amidst huge protests by Tamil Silva and the factions..? Fatherly love??

I do not know about CA story. It was created by Sinhala media, I believe... but, it is interesting to know that GOSL is following leads from LTTE...

I also have to go.. you take care..
