What a good service LTTE has done to Tamils..
Credit Card fraud taught by the LTTE has become one of the lifelines for the DieAssPora Tamils..

On Saturday, alert casino security guards called Gatineau police, who arrested the seven men and one woman at the casino.

They are accused of using fraudulent debit and credit cards to gamble at the casino from June 11-13. Police say all eight are of Sri Lankan descent.

Seven of the accused are living in Toronto, one in Montreal.

During the investigation, police seized three cars, 100 cards and most of the $100,000.

Sri Lankan NAtional question. Tamils killing Tamils.

Dear Pharaoah

First of all thanks for the response which turned out to be a lot better. Respect

so if GOSL is doing so well why ban international aid orgs?


It would be hard to answer what the government's thinking behind this is. If you ask my personal opinion, I dont see why international organisations should not be allowed AS LONG AS they have no hidden agendas other than actually helping the IDPs.

there has been numerious occasions in which these organisations have come to SL in the pretext of helping the needy. Some NGOs have actually been helping terrorists. The govt's thinking may be fuelled by this experience. But as I saaid i cant speak for the govt and my personal view is that IF the organisation is only their for charity they can do their charity within the laws of the country in which they operate

why are TMVP and EPDP in camps abducting children 11 - 17 yrs of age


Pharaoah, I am not sure if you have followed my posts on this before. As far as i am concerned No body other than the Govt should be allowed to carry arms. If the EPDP or TMVP is doing that that is because they are terrorists. I really dont have a great deal of regards for these chaps and allow me to join you in condemning them.

East is a pathetic situation and UTHR documented the killings and ethnic cleansing that happened there since 2006. Tamils are becoming a minority in Trinco. So nothing to boast about East


Are you sure Pharaoh about these reports? How credible is UTHR? Didnt they say that VP was surrendered and tortured? You really think that was a true story?

Well that is not really answering your question. So let me try.
First, there is no ethnic clensing policy by the govt. Yes, there have been abductions in the east by the TMVP. These are not govt sponsored. But it remains a fact that guns are silent in the east. there are few development projects happening in the east. The living stds of people have increased since the end of war in the East. Things may not exactly be happening fast enough but matters have improved drastically.

Pharoah says.. 1st the international aid orgs like ICRC, UNHCR, Oxfam need unrestricted access. Then Diaspora will help rebuild war torn areas

There are enough aid groups, medical teams in the IDP camps, internationally & locally. Only the LTTE supporting international aid org.s are not allowed in.

Besides they also come at a price, right now the country can't afford to pay every Tom, Dick & Harry just because they belong to an aid group.

Don't worry your people are taken care off, if you believe otherwise its because you are reading too many horror stories from these LTTE supporting sites. Even if the plight of the IDPs have improved considerably they will never admit so, cos' they are good at playing we are the victim card and take the gullible IC for a right royal ride.

It is also the GOSL that kept Tamils in the North east of Sri lanka employed in govt institutions


Tamils are also banned from working under Sinhalese employers in some parts of East.

http://www.uthr.org/SpecialReports/spreport31.htm


The next step announced in Trincomalee through anonymous posters and leaflets in early 2008, while the Government kept silent, was on the same lines. These announced that Sinhalese businesses and Sinhalese owned establishments must get rid of employees from the minorities and employ only Sinhalese. The businessmen knew that this call was backed by the terror apparatus of the State and dared not disobey. Chooty Mudalali had to lay off some trusted Tamils who worked in his administrative office. But he continued to help many poor Tamils as well as Sinhalese. The branding of Chooty as an LTTE man in the new fascist dispensation led to what was not unexpected


Also banks in East are full of Sinhalese employees, less than quater are Tamils.

To continue with my reply to Pharaoah, who was kind enough to spend time in answering me.....

why even Sinhalese human rights activists are criticising the gov


Ahhhh that is because we have a (sort of) democracy Pharaoah. People are allowed to criticise the govt. Some are genuine criticisms I am sure. Some others are to ensure that the NGO continues to get funds.

Look, I am not going to behave like an Ostrich and deny ALL short comings. Of course there are. But we just finished fighting a terrorist organisation. It takes time for matters to get to normalcy. So let us give time. However, at least the IDPs are getting some attention, some facilities and children some education. Hardly enough but that is why loans such as IMF loan help.

Regading insults, I dont resort to using filth, threats, family insults like many LNPers do, only a bit of banter but if you are a light weight I will refrain in future. apologies...


I notice with pleasure that you dont resort to filth etc and again hats off to you. It was not the light banter itself but the intent behind that prompted my response. No need to apologise.

BTW.... Dr. Neelan was also critical of GOSL actions, does that make him a terrorist too. Just wondering?


Valid question but not too good on the point. Being critical of the govt wont make one a terrorist.

Since you are wondering let me elaborate
Neelan was not involved in killing people, last time I saw him when he was alive he did not carry a cyanide capsule, he did not carry arms (not even a catapult), did not advocate child soldiers, did not help suicide bombers nor was invloved in creating any. he was not involved in any of the terrorist attacks targeted at civilians. Soooo Nelan is not a terrorist and you can stop wondering.

thanks again Pharaoh for your time to chat with this single celled madayan chingalaya.

Pharoah,

Sinhalese are the only people in the world to call a minoroty as stateless


I've already had this conversation with you. You seem to have got out of the wrong side of bed today.

Speaking of bed, it's past 3 am here and I'm off to catch some sleep.

In Jaffna sinhala people are allowed to go only if they wear a military uniform, carry a T -5 6 and go with a convoy.

In Tamilnadu, Sinhala people are arrested.
