Dr. Mervin`s fund raisers worry businessmen
Thursday, 27 September 2007 - 6:02 AM SL Time

Businessmen in the Kiribathgoda town complain that they are forced to make regular contributions towards the conduct of religious, social and sports events in the Kelaniya area. The scheme to collect funds was initiated by Labour Minister Dr. Mervin Silva, a local businessman told The Island yesterday (26).

Due to this some businessmen are finding it difficult to run their businesses profitably. Some businessmen contribute voluntarily while others, who refuse, are `tactfully` forced to fork out, he said.

Asked for his comments Dr. Mervin Silva said `you can publish anything in the newspapers, I am not concerned.`

During a speech made at a meeting held in Galborella in Kelaniya during the Sinhala/Hindu New Year, Silva had asked his voters not to buy The Island and Divaina newspapers.

General Secretary of the SLFP, Minister Maithripala Sirisena, said the party had not received any written complaint against Mervin Silva.

If some one is corrupt then the newspapers must publish that.

We should get rid of him slowly.

Who ever gave him a doctorate should be shot in the first place. this is a man who couldnt even get his mother to vote for him but still manages to get through to parliment. shows how much of respect the SLFP has towards its own voters doesnt it? anyways this is a man who did all the dirty work for Mrs.B and now continuing to do it for the Rajapaksha Company. he is a total waste of space just like his son. they are a disgrace to the sinhala race.

Where are the unidentified gunmen when we need them?

You bet your a*s the government will absolutely not take any damn action against this hooligan, whatever the evidence they are presented with.
Sirisena and all spokesmen of the govt are just paying lip service, fooled into believing that doing so will lull the public in to the belief that the govt is actively trying to protect the rule of law, when the truth is the exact opposite.

If Sirisena said something on the lines of 'If we receive further complaints against Doctor Dutugemunu, we swear to God we will just stand by and do nothing!', that would have made more sense.

right on. these are the instances gosl should use to make a proper example that they won't tolerate such behavior...but instead they are doing nothing like cowards...
rule of law should apply to all. It's high time MR himself gets involved and set the record straight.
enough is enough.

This thug must be holding state secrets.This may be the reason for the President to turn a blind eye.There is
definitely something that this guy has in his hands that
protects him from whatever he does.

Alwaysalion.
i cannot agree with you more because why else would you want such a bloody idiot in your cabinet who has no respect even for himself? what a joke this idiot is.. as the audacity of calling himself a decendent of King Gamunu. King Gamunu must be dying a milion times all over again hearing this. what a blooy mutt this idiot is. his son is a psycho as well. i dont expect any less from such a corrupt govt such as this. all they do is make money and keep everything in their family. Look at the foreign minister.. he is doing MR stunt himself by having his son as his personal Secretary as he is never in the country. he really does take the Foreign Ministry to heart doesnt he..

Navaz24, there are no words to express my disgust to thugs
like this.If he was a decedent of a King, he has to prove it.Like someone stated on this thread, the guy who gave this idiot the doctor title shot be shot point blank!
If he was given a 8th grade diploma I could have understood.An insult to all the learned people of Sri Lanka.
