I WISH TO WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MAYBE TIMELY AS IT IS SEEMED NOT SUFFICIENTLY TALKED IN SUPPORTING THE RIGHT CANDIDATE IN THE FORTHCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

(I SAW GENERAL FONSEKA AS A GOOD GENTLEMAN ONLY WHEN HE WAS AS THE COMMANDER OF SLA, AND I STILL LIKE THE WAY HOW HE WAS PROJECTING A GENTLEMAN. BUT IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE HE CHANGED HIMSELF 180 DEGREES BEYOND RECOGNITION. IT IS ALSO EQUALLY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY HE HAD TO CHANGE, AND FOR WHOSE NEED? PEOPLE WHO CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY. THEREFORE IT IS A EXTREMELY SAD THING THAT HE HAS TARNISHED HIS GOOD IMAGE IRREPAREABLY)

AS WE SEEE IN HIS DISGRACEFUL CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE PRESIDENT, GEN. SF IS ENGAGED A DIRE MUD-SLINGING EFFORT WITH THE HELP OF SOME OF THE WORSTLY BANKRUPT SECTIONS INVOLVED IN SRI LANKAN POLITICS WITH THEIR KEY POINTS OF ATTACK AS ‘HORAA, CORRUPTION, KIN-TREATMENT ETC., ETC..

EVEN A CHILD WILL SAY THE PRESIDENT IS THE FIGUREHEAD WHO WON THE WAR AGAINST LTTE TERRORISM IN SRI LANKA. NOONE CAN DENY THAT AS A FACT. THROUGH THIS JOB THE PRESIDENT SAVED THE VULNERABLE LIVES OF THE THE 21 MILLION PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY. THE TIME UNDER THE TERROR RAIGN PEOPLE WERE NOT SURE OF GOING BACK HOME SAFELY AFTER A DAY’S WORK. TODAY PRESIDENT HAS TRANSFORM THIS VULNERABLE CONDITION TO A SAFE HEAVEN AS HE ONCE PROMISED. HOWEVER IT SEEMS, IN THE WAKE OF THE ELECTION, SOME PEOPLE AGAIN HAVE PUT THEIR TUMMY’S BEFOR LIVES WHICH IS VERY SAD.

THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE THAT WE DID NOT SEE. PRESIDENT RAJAPAKSE MADE IT POSSIBLE TO PUT A FULL STOP FOR THE COLOSSAL AMOUNT OF MONEY SO FAR BEING WASTED IN THE WAR IN COUNTRY’S FAVOUR. IT IS ESTIMATED TO BE NOTHING LESS THAN $200 BILLION (Rs.22800 billions) HAS BEEN SPENT TODATE IN THE NAME OF FIGHT AGAINST LTTE TERRORISM SINCE LATE 70’S. WITH THE WAR BEING FINISHED, NOW WE KNOW THIS WASTAGE IS NO MORE THERE WE CAN HAVE HOPE AND KEEP TRUST ON H.E. THAT THESE MONIES (SAVINGS/OPPORTNITIES) WILL BE WELL SPENT ON WORTHY CUASES OF MASSES. IMAGINE HOW MUCH $200 BILLON COULD MEAN TO A COUNTRY LIKE US. THE SHORTSIGHTED LEADERS WE HAVE BLINDFOLDEDLY PICKED AS PRESIDENTS SO FAR HAVE DONE DOUBLE BLUNDERS ON THE NATION MAKING THE COUNTRY POORER DAY AFTER DAY.

CORRUPT UNDISGRACEFUL PEOPLE LIKE MR. MANGALA SAMARAWEERA MUST BE CONDEMNED FOR HIS REPEATED BASELESS ALEGATIONS FOR TRYING MISLEADING MASSES WITH SHAMELESS TRICKS WHICH PEOPLE REALISE AS UNTRUE INSTANTLY. THE SRI LANKANS MUST NEVER QUIT KEEPING HOPES IN THE PRESIDENT WITH HIS OBJECTIVES TO MAKE SRI LANKA ONE OF THE STRONGEST COUNTRIES IN ASIA THE LEAST, IF NOT IN THE WORLD.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A CAMPIGN OF APPOINTING A JVP PRESIDENT WITH UNP VOTES. IT IS VERY CLEAR MR. WICKREMASINGHE HAS GIVEN UP EVERYTHING APART FROM BEING THE PARTY LEADER AS LONG AS HE LIKES ENJOYING PREVILEGES ASSOCITED WITH THE POST. GEN.SF AS PRESIDENT WITH JVP BACK-UP MEANS NOTHING SHORTER THAN ADDING FUEL ON FIRE AS FAR AS DEMOCRACY AND MINORITIES CONCERNED.

MAY THE TRIPPLE GEM BLESS MOTHER LANKA
