D. M. K. Menike, a mother from Doragamuwa, Katugastota donated two gold rings including her wedding ring to the Api Wenuwen Api Ranaviru Welfare Fund at the 84,000 Pahan Pinkama held at the Maha Maluwa, Kandy on Wednesday night to invoke blessings on the President, Security Forces and Police and the People.
She handed over the gift to Foreign Employment Promotion and Welfare Minister and Defence Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella who was the chief guest on the occasion to be handed over to the Ranaviru (War Heroes) Welfare Fund.
Speaking to the media Menike said she had treasured the wedding ring given by her teacher husband for the last 33 years. She thought of gifting it to the Ranaviru Fund because she treasured the contribution made by the heroic forces in defence of the nation even more.
Minister Rambukwella said that Menike`s gesture was a good example to the whole nation which would help boost Security Forces` morale.

Gracious Mother
Mrs. D M K Menike: you are a mother of true form classing all our 'Weerodora Ranaviruwan' just as your own Children! I visualize your native village as such: - 'Opening the door of your native village, advancing through the thorns beyond the stream to participate 'Invoking Blessings on president, Security Forces,Police and the People.'
Donation of your precious wedding ring pairing another ring of gold as a worthy symbol for the sake of Our Three Security Forces along with the Police who are sacrificing their valuable lives for the Sake of the Country Highest Form of any Scarification! All peoples and the Future Generations are Eternally Grateful. Our beloved Daughters and Sons of Mother Lanka your Name is Engraved in Golden Letters for All to read for generations to see!
I was not blessed enough to Participate with you and the rest at Maha Nuwara - Maha Maluwa even to see from a distance 'The glorious lighting of 84,000 Pahan Pinkama. Yet I can Visualize the Brightness your individual performance of 'Ranwan Offering for the Sake of our Nation!'
As the Minister Rambukwella stated, Mrs. Menike, your kind gesture indeed a remarkable example not only to the Nation but to the Whole World. No Doubt it is Sure Boost the Morale of Our Security Forces! To us You are a 'Manik Saagarayak.'

SARADIAL
I know that very famous 'robber who robs the rich and gave the poor.' If you have Nothing to give, follow your name sake for the sake of Charity. DO Not Criticize the kind and worthy gestures of others offering just because you have unfortunately not cultivated the Noble Act giving and to appreciate others givings.
A man's spouse is his wife and not 'so called wife.' At least you have a bit of decency to address Mrs. D M K Menike as 'Lady.' If Not for the Present Politicians we may be Still UNPers!
Mr.-Sad and Pathetic even for our 'generous Robin Hood - Sura Saradial! |

Mr president himself too should take a lesson from this...
scrap his stupid mihin air that was only created to inflate his ego and stop wasting public funds on mor0nic things...
we will have lot more resources to tackle our problems then and would not even require generous donations of this sort |

On an additional note..
if mr president stops wasting money on putting up street billboards etc with his pictures etc... we can save up some more money for those who are fighting the LPTE in trenches... |
