By Stanley Perera, Melbourne
My dear Minister,
From time to time you are making press releases antoganising the majority population who sacrificed their loved ones in that 27 years of war against those separatist, racists and terrorists demands. 70,000 lives were lost.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ President Premadasa was killed.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Truck loads of politicians were killed.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Please go before a mirror and ask yourself a question :WHY DID THOSE PEOPLE SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The answer is very clear to you.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ If you are refusing to accept the answer, let me tell you loud and clear ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-PATRIOTIC SRI LANKANS FOUGHT A WAR WITH SEPERATIST, RACISTS AND TERRORISTS TAMILS TO PROTECT THE LAND THEY LOVE UNDIVIDED AND NOT TO CAVE IN TO THEƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ PRESSURE OF THE ENTIRE WEST INCLUDING THE BLOODY INDIANSƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ If that is not clear to you minister, please be warned that the majority population will not take your foolish statements so lightly.
During the time of terror YOU DUMB POLITICIANS WERE SURROUNDED BY AN ARMY OF SECURITY PERSONNEL SLEEPING IN AIR CONDITIONED LUXURY BUNGALOWS WHILE THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED YOUƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ INƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ TO POWER SHIVERING IN FEAR OF BOMBS BLOWING THEIR BRAINS IN TO PIECES.
My dear minister your antoganistic and contraverssial statements are driving the majority population up the walls.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There is a public feeling that those cross over ministers are carefully adopting a secret plan to divide the nation against MR government.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Those cross over ministers are a wedge between the ruling party and crossed ministers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ People are of the understanding that those crossed ministers are there to destroy MR Government.
Hon. Minister Basil Rajapakse says that GoSL has no intention to give land and police powers to the North or East.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ President Rajapakse says that the countryƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s total intergrity will be protected.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Minister Basil RajapakseƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ also says that it is only the TNA politicians are asking for the land and police powers and not the people.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ So what the bloody hell you are talking of?

Vinayaga Moorthy Muralidaran is totally opposed to the land and police powers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Berty Premalal is totally opposed to the land and police powers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Southern Chief minister is totally opposed to the land and police powers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Maheepala Herath is totally opposed to the land and police powers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The entire ex-patriate Sri Lankans are totally opposed to the land and police powers.
The writer explained the dangers in police and land powers to the North & East which they acquired by force in the past 27 years by the Terrorists, Racists and Seperatist out fit LTTE.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Are you suffering from any mental disorder to forget the past?
Are you not aware Minister during the past 30 years while North & east enjoyed the full Police & land powers with the Tamil Nadoo politicians Vaiko, Nedumaran, Seaman and company illegally imported in to North and East a million of KALLATHONIS to build up their numbers like what they have done at WALLAWATTE in Colombo?
Mr. Minister, I must remind you what happened in the uprising of the Southerners.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ GoSL killed some 60,000 Sinhalese youth.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Tamil Terrorists killed 70,000 civillians.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ If the next uprising takes place howmany more Sinhahalayas you are planning to kill?
If the Seperatist, Racists and Terrorist TNA have any demands, GoSL must tell them to go to Tamil Nadoo and fight for their demands.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Sri Lanka is for all Sri Lankans.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There is only one nation in Sri Lanka as the Hon. Mahinda Rajapakse says.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ If you cannot understand what the countryƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s president to-gether with the entire masses want, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR CABINET PORTFOLIO AND LET SOMEBODY ELSE TAKE OVER WHO LOVES THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE.
PLEASE BE INFORMED: THIS IS THE TIME THAT THE WEST ARE SCHEMING A REGIME CHANGE IN SRI LANKA TO-GETHER WITH KOUSHNAR AND MILLIBAND EYEING TO TAKE THE REVENGE FROM MR.

MINISTER BE ALSO REMINDED OF THE KUWENIƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢S CURSE IS STILL NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM SRI LANKA.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ IS ASIAN SPRING IN THE BREWING?

If the writer is in Melbourne he can do a lot against the Indian Imperialism, the root cause of basic problems in the island nation.
Melboune has the largest Sinhala diaspora in the West. So if they get together then they can do a lot to support the Sinhallese, Muslims, Burghers and Malays in the island nation.
At the same time Melbourne is one of the Major operating bases of Tamil terrorism, Indian hedgemony and JVP terrorists.
So the Sinhala diaspora can do a lot to help the GOSL and its non-Indian population.

Sri Lanka is a cursed country. Cursed by KUWENI like Israel cursed by Jesus. Therefore Sri Lanka will never be without trouble from the Dravidians. So these racist Tamils will never let the Sri Lankans live in peace and harmony. Shylok alias racist Sampanthan is after the pound of flesh from the Sinhalayas.

The Jewish people in Melbourne do a lot for Israel.
Why not the Sinhalese in Melbourne?

Stanley and Christie
I am a Srilankan tamil and I strongly believe in unity
look at the way you are making fun on tamils , look at your anger , examine your mind
do not you think you hurt other race by talking or writing like this
look
when bad , evil thoughts come into your mind, replace it with kind peaceful and positive thoughts.Life is too short
you do not need to be mean to others. I feel sorry for you guys also because from your writings I could imagine how miserable you are with your family and friends where ever you live. I will have a prayer for your soul
Find a budhist temple near you . ask help from God
I always always defend Budhism ( beautiful religion) and Sinhalese any where the topic comes in
when peoplle talk about riots in 83 and blame sinhalese I defend it . what happened to many innocent tamils in 83 does not represent thousands and thousands of loving , kind sinhalese whether they are Budhists or Christians
I am sure you understand my point

This is not the only time these “vultures” who crossed over made public statements of this type to put the MR Government to disrepute in the public eye. They not only make statements of this nature, but also continue to carrry out their entrusted duties in such a reckless manner that HE has to get involved even to solve simple matters of day to day administration. This is seen by us in Sri Lanka as a joke of every day and virtually turning out to be a “Amaris Aiyah’s Kopi Kade”. This is what these vultures in the guise of Ministers and Advisors are doing and hope to see happening.
This is not a cursed country. We have come out of the worse “curse” of “Terrorism” and we are confident of surviving, that of course, with the establishment of good governance and administration. The people of this country have already indentified TNA as a curse and the only way to get rid of it is to “cut it to it’s size” – how? Do not recognize it as the “Sole Representative of the Tamils” and go for never ending dialogue. Tell them in simple language to go before the PSC and make your case or perish. That’s it and NO MORE.
The problem, as you correctly said, is the controversial statements made by the authorities from time to time in a lassitude, whcih give these venomous elements oxygen for survival. In turn the Agents “within and outside” make use of the opportunity to destablize the country.
So, HE we “BEG” you to take a firm stand and put your house in order without allowing it to be a “Mariya Kade”.
We still have hopes.

Good article by Stanley. The masses should protest against devolution, rather than remaining silent. Devolution has similartities with handing over the country to the British. If we devolve, we get fooled and the countru would be lost permanently.
Sri Lanka is not cursed. All living have to compete for resorces. So far we have not been effective in competing. Why ? It is time to learn to compete and dump unproven Indian myths that even Indians do not belive in. Develop desires to compete, survive and win rather than giving up desires.

My previous comments only related to comments of Stanley and Christie not on the article
Stanley said”So these racist Tamils will never let the Sri Lankans live in peace and harmony’
what do you mean Tamils will never let the Srilankans live in Peace and harmony
Tamils are also Srilankans . He needs to come out from this thinking . If you think like this then you are a racist
There are many thousands of tamils both in lanka and outside believe in united country . Now if you talk or write like this it is a proof you are a racist
It is truly sad we srilankans have bad attitude. we do not think before we write or open the mouth
I am very disappointed
learn meditation folks or read books relate to Budhisim or bhagavat Gita or Bible which I read
bye I do not want to read this site any more
always people fight talk vulgar . there is no peace
January 28th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
My friend jimmy- Don’t give up please. A fight for what you believe and resolved right is worth the fight.
The world is not going to be that comfortable – it has its ups and downs and our streangth and courage keep us going and living in comfort. Let us learn to “forget and forgive”. So be with us and continue the good work. The more we interact the more we learn and extend our horizens.
So resolve to continue. Thank you.

Lankan Diaspora cannot do much to stop any division of the country; they have already voted with their feet for economic and other personal reasons, and have to follow the laws of the countries that they adopted.
Surely, it is up to the GOSL to take the initiative.
Every other nation worth its salt considers that citizens including politicians who betray the country and the nation as traitors, and so take legal action against them according to their laws. Why is it not done in Sri Lanka? In the recent past too, we had a similar invidious position regarding the banning of LTTE. Respective GOSL at the time wanted other countries to ban LTTE in their countries, yet concurrently they were happily dealing with LTTE in Sri Lanka at official level. So who would believe the seriousness of the intentions of GOSL? Like that current GOSL policies on the unity of country as declared to the public are so mixed up, with a complement of ministers and a President who collectively behave like a pot of soup and a ladle. We cannot figure out the ingredients, what is the truth and what is propaganda.
If there is no relevant law at present to deal with the divisors legally, then the initiative for setting up and passing legislation rests with the President. In Sri Lanka all law makers of the government side just follow the President’s orders or wishes; therefore there is no point of relying on any these hangers on to get the ball rolling. It is up to the President to come clean and act cleanly. If not we have to ask the question, is the GOSL is made up of monkeys looking for some cats’ paws from elsewhere to recover their “kos eta” from the fire?
Addressing GOSL, I say, do your work yourselves, you have two-third majority now. Set out legislation to ban parties who betray the country to Tamil Nadu or to any other foreign country, and run to them bellyaching every time they get a nose cold at home. Send those individual traitors who lead those parties, and are advocating separation or colluding with terrorists to jail or even to gallows as they used to do it in England. At the least, it must be a disqualification to take up any public office.
Not all Tamils are racists. I have a few Tamil friends who are gentle and affectionate, some better than my own relatives. It’s the ones who wish to divide the nation that we should address by removing them from the public office, regardless of the ethnic origin.

My dear Jimmy,
I am very sorry if my language has ofended you. I have always used the words racist tamils in order not to include the Tamils who are not racists and are friends of all others. The Tamil people who are willing to share the peace in the country and prepared call themselves Sri Lankans. I admire Dr. Telli C. Those Tamil people who are demanding Tamil only demands are the ones I call racist Tamils. I also admired and appreciated your view and your contribution to this web site. But you have misunderstood my language. I have not generalised the Tamil people as Racist Tamil. For your information Jimmy I practice buddhism, christianity and hinduism. I meditate almost everyday. From my childhood I go to the Hindu Temple. Everytime I visit Sri Lanka I never failed to go to Katharagama. I have lot of Tamil and muslim friends. I also have a lot of Tamil relation. I never meant to accuse all Tamil people. It gets into my nerves the way TNA are behaving. I call upon all Sri Lankans to be called Sri Lankans and live as one nation. Why some damands only to the Tamils? TNA are refusing to accept that they are Sri Lankans. They are refusing to accept GoSL as their government. Under the circumstances is not fair to call them RACIST TAMILS. PLEASE JIMMY DON’T LEAVE US. ONCE AGAIN I APPOLOGISE TO YOU IF MY LANGUAGE HAS OFFENDED YOU.
January 28th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
My dear Jimmy, I missed to say that I am a happily mareied to my wife for 44 years, a father of two and grand father of three. An emeritus Medical Reseacher. Dr.Telli C and Dr. Subramanium Swamy are my mentors.
January 28th, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Understood Stanley
sorry for my misunderstanding . I have a dream People will be united as Srilankans . May be the Younger generation will unite the country
God bless
January 28th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Jimmy,
I share your view. It is also my dream that all Sri Lankans are united as one nation regardless of caste, race and religion. Let us be friends once again. Please stay with us.
January 28th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
You are a good man Stanley Good Lord bless you my sinhala Brother
I just had some white wine , and want to write something before sleep
Truth is within you . Be honest and always speak the truth ( according to my friend Fran Diaz)
Minority Tamils were not at all patriotic to the Country they were born in . It was wrong . As a kid I was telling I am a Srilankan but I am very disappointed now that I was not patritic enough the way I am patrotic to USA now where I am a citizen a country where you are judged by your character not by the color of your skin ( atleast most of the times)
Tamils were not patriotic enough
why ? who is responsible for this?
I blame both Tamil and Sinhala leaders who betrayed Tamils . Shame shame shame on them
scumbags like Cyril Mathew or Nevill fernando were responsible for 83 riots and Old Man JRJ totally ignored when innocent tamils were killed . It is unimaginable, unthinkable a crime. I am shocked how this could happen
I remember I was scared to go to tuition class or school because the Army was not friendly those time
I also remember tigers were brutal who killed soldiers hereand there , after that army beomes so brutal to all tamils regarless of age they did not care
I also remember there was a man named Lionel fernando a GA of Jaffna in 80s . I was a little kid remember the funeral of his mother in jaffna. Thousands and Thousands of people attended , black flags all over Jaffna. people adored this man in jaffna.Sinhala Budhist is famous among Jaffna Tamils.
The point is look we have no terrorisim in Srilanka now so if you can not win the hearts and minds of Tamils like this man Luional fernando who was just a GA did in 80s something wrong with you
(a) patriotisim is critical . people should be patriotic love the country first , hoist the flag at home , schools all over ( It did not happen when I was a kid sadly)
(b) zero tolernce against racisim . after 3 strikes put monsetrs in prison .no once can write or speak against any race. PERIOD.
In the western world if any one love to loose everything including the underwear they could talk against race
Srilanka should implement this
(c)Meditation classses all over the country helping people to think positive
people should be judged not by their race or religion or cultcure but by their character
SHAMe we do not see each others eye. It is wrong , unimaginable . Be honest and accept the truth There is damn racisim every where
we should change this , atleast try to change , I am sure we will be sucessful
I had great sinhala friends during my college days and at work in USA. Amazing guys. I am comfortable with their company . They like Tamils also I had few tamil friends and we all lived in 4 bedroom apt for an year ,cooked , danced ( byla) smoked , drinked together . I still think them I am touched by their compassion
we did not know each other language we were able to live like brothers
The point is Srilankans all over the world should respect each other and talk to each other without hating each other
Break the fu–king ice . That is important it might take time but trust me we can be successful
Life is too damn short It is not worth arguing all the time
Bye
I love you all

Facts are important than anything. Because on e wil lead to the other.
The so called British Empire is not a British but a British-Indian Empire.
Indians (include Tamils) in the island are not different to Indians in Fiji and other places.
For the locals to demand the life enjoyed by the colonial parasites is not racism or religipus bigotry.
If the Tamil and Indian diaspora can dictate terms to the locals of the island nation how come the Sinhala diaspora is lame?
If they are; they should keep out and enjoy the benefots of the new found wealth in the West, thanks to the free education and non didcriminatory life they enjoyed while in the island nation.
During riots in London last year these diasporas were hiding under their beds.
January 29th, 2012 at 12:55 am
Jimmy.
Very sorry that you were hurt and my sincere apologies on behalf of our people.I doubt they meant any malice.There was a lot of hurt caused by this conflict and we must put that behind and rebuild the country that should bring peace and security to all the citizens.
January 29th, 2012 at 1:57 am
No excuse for rioting. It is outright wrong.
A better outcome could have been achieved by TARGETED bombing of LTTE suspects, their associates, TULF activists who promoted violence (including their clans) and other CONNECTED racists in large numbers in terrorist style.
Then the blame won’t fall on the Sinhalese and RELEVANT damage could have been done to LTTE/TULF racists.
Killing totally unconnected Tamils and burning their property achieved nothing good. Ultimately the people had to foot the bill! How damn foolish?
Even in the extreme case of collective punishment which is not acceptable, claymore attacks could have avoided the stigma of July 1983.
January 29th, 2012 at 7:48 am
Thanks Nimal
i kind of agree with Lorenzo ( targetted bombing of ltte)
Christie,’you are an example of a hardcore racist It is sad there are hardcore racists like you exist among us
we have tamil racists who raise tiger flag create hatred and we have scums like you who hate the existence of Tamil raceYou bastards should be put in prison for ever
