IT is possible some Tamils working for the CUSTOMS or FOOD INSPECTION were behind it. not any more..Selva was the famous one in 80's..JR kicked him out.He was given 24hr notice to leave the job ..he helped averyone.Lots of tamils went oversea during his period without proper Visa. Premay like him and called him back bcz all biz men liked him. but he never returned to the country..
Ramcahandran was there for a while now retired.. Now there are no more top tamils

Drink...?
No hard liquor! I maintain the same discipline which I observed while I was with the LTTE. Taking liquor or smoking is strictly forbidden. Since I didn't take liquor for the past 20 years, I'm not keen on them either. Even when I went for the peace talks, when others were enjoying taking liquor, I politely refused them all.
I like orange juice very much.

Tamizhs have been traded for fish by your erstwhile Tamilnadu chief Karunanidhi (see Sunday Times).
Karunanidhi's interests in looking after Tamilnadu fishermen far outweigh any iota of feeling he has for the Tamizhs of old SL.
Peelam for ever!

The war is taking longer than expected and the govt is making noises about political solution.
'Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,' the official said.
Voice of the people
To this Captain Gillbert replied that in the U.S. Congress alone has the authority to declare war, and therefore it is not easy to arbitrarily engage in hostilities articulating the voice of the people.
'Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country,' scoffed Senior Nazi Herman G ring, before being sentenced to death for war crimes at the Nuremberg Tribunal.
Given the pro-war hysteria that has engulfed the south in three years of Rajapakse government, and the many elections it has won them since November 2005, and the terror campaign on all those persons, groups or media outlets perceived to be anti-war, it appears that this government has been able to put the words of one of Hitler's most trusted deputies to good use. |

Curtailing media freedom may be deemed necessary for another reason the need to prevent the public from discovering how the rulers are living in clover while demanding sacrifices from the masses. According to the Sunday Island of last week, 40 ministers are being granted Rs. 100,000/- each, per month, from public coffers as house rent. The beneficiaries of this largesse include members of the SLFP, LSSP, CP, the UNP rebel group as well as the minority parties. Perhaps the most remarkable amongst them is Minister Champika Ranawaka whose party, the JHU, not long ago exhorted the populace to eat bajiri for the sake of the war. Is it patriotism or knavery to spend Rs. 48 million on 40 ministers annually as house rent while the Army is seeking public contributions to build houses for servicemen? There is nothing like economic misery compounded by the absence of a shared sense of sacrifice to cause a paradigmatic shift in public mood from triumphalism towards peace at any price. Therefore as the war becomes prolonged, the regime will have no choice but to curtail democratic freedoms in the South in order to prevent the exposure of reality and consequent public protests. With a long war in the North and new repression in the South, the public are in for bleak times. |
