The I.D.P. Experience: Do I know what it means?

It is true that there are many refugees in the camps in Sri Lanka but they are in their own country. Since Jan. 2009, many of our brothers and sisters had fled Sri Lanka hoping to reach the world from where the dollars went to put them outside of their homeland. These people are stranded in almost all the international airport detention centres and UNHCR run camps including Accra - Ghana, Malaysia, Beijing, Caracas, Argentina and what not.

They wish to return to Menik farm but there is no way for them. This is what they would feel I guess!

Do I know what it means?
To be a stranger in a strange country
To hear a new language which I never heard
To see new human race which I have never seen
To realise that east or west, home is the best
To come to terms that Menik Farm is the best camp
And to carry this UNHCR card forever for the rest of my life!

The naming of the ship as Vanagaman is itself a false start if that really meant to reach Menik camp. In my view the ship carried a full load of ego of the expatriates and not food for the refugees. What is the meaning of Vanagaman? This would have been a good name for the ships that carried ammunitions to the LTTE but not to a ship that carried food to the displaced.

Asking the international agencies to visit camp is also weak at this stage. Correctly or wrongly the SL govt has some evidence in hand which accuses that these agencies had helped the LTTE in the past or the LTTE had used them. So the SLA had to be careful in allowing any foreigners to Vavuniya.

If the expats really concerned about the displaced Tamils all they have to do is not to antaganize the SL govt at this stage. OR as usual we can go on with our summer outings .

MP Ms. Thangeswary Kathiraman, who is known to dress like the Tamil Brapper Youth of Toronto s Slum communities was escorted out of Parliament when the Sinhala Buddhist Majority claimed she was inappropriately dressed and in violation of the Dress Code. Thangeswary who claims she was expressing her Thang was GENOCIDED by the Sinhala Chauvinists once more because they could not stand to see a Tamilish women Express her self in such a manner.

Thangeswary who claims she was expressing her Thong was GENOCIDED by the Sinhala Chauvinists once more because they could not stand to see a Tamilish women Express her self in such a manner.

Thang was GENOCIDED by the Sinhala Chauvinists once more because they could not stand to see a Tamilish women Express her self in such a manner.

I can imagine how angry Tamil DieAssPora must be feeling about GOSL for treating Tamil Children like this..

Kuala Lumpur:

An Indian national, a senior lecturer in a private university in Malaysia, has been charged with allegedly taking bribe from a female student, promising her better grades in the examination.

Krishna Prasad Pramulapati (52), of the Multimedia University in Cyberjaya, was charged at the Sessions Court with soliciting a 10,000 rupees bribe from the student, local media reports said on Wednesday.

Pramulapati has denied the charges of taking the bribe from S Kumalini Devi, 24, as an inducement to give her better grades in Algorithm Analysis paper, reports said.

He allegedly committed the offence at the Information Technology Faculty in Malaysia's hi-tech city Cyberjaya.

Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairi of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission proposed a bail at 130,000 rupees. Counsel Arunan Selvaraj pleaded for a lower bail of 65,000 rupees as his client was a foreigner and his wife was in Sri Lanka, adding that he had no family members here.

udge Yong Zarida Sazali granted Krishna 100,000 rupees bail in two Malaysian sureties and has fixed August 3 for hearing of the case.

Under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act-2009, if Prasad is found guilty, he could face a 20-year jail term or five times the bribe amount or RM 10,000 or which is higher.

So all the MPs talk according to the culture.
