Why Cannot SLG Press & Public Relations Machine (?) Protect The President
Posted on June 9th, 2012
Prof. Hudson McLean
The Pen is Mightier than the Sword!
Once again the Leader of Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa was made to look a fool, for the second time, in the UK.
Were these influenced by the Remnants ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Tamil Tiger Terrorist Diaspora or simply allowed to occur due to the Ineptitude & Gross Professional Incompetence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Sri Lankan High Commission in London?
The image of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prof. G.L Pieris depicts, for all his intellectual quality,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and education at Oxford, is more of a subservient, back-boneless, weakling. No commanding presence.
Most likely Prof. Pieris is under direct command of his superior, the President, who himself is “cocooned” in his comfortable enclosure by the “Presidential Advisors”, who have lost touch with the outside world.
From the goings-on in the local rags, one observes that the President is being decorated for the domestic audience with gusto, whilst the Advisors are clueless on “Where to Begin” when it comes to International Audience.
Tamils have always had their sympathisers in the right places, and pull the right cables in unison.
Now the old Adage – The Pen is Mightier than the Sword! Today its called “The YouTube”.
I have touched on this subject several times in the past…… Sinhala (Sri Lanka) needs “offensive” Press & Public Relations campaign!
Stop Drumming the “Colgate Smile” and the “Dyed Mane” of the President, and repeating “How SLDF Won the Terrorist War”.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ That and Sarath Fonseka should be left to History Book pundits.
As you saw just during the Coronation Jubilee Celebrations in London, on 3rd June , LTTE with their Terrorist Flags, won the day!
Was this “Tit-for-Tat” revenge for pulling in the British High Commissioner in Colombo the previous week?
The entire SLG Press & PR programme is off-rails. Is the President trying to be the “Head Cook & the Bottle Washer” whilst Piloting the Train?
SLG should deploy an aggressive Press & PR campaign promoting the virtues of the Island of Sinhala (Sri Lanka), the Culture, the Opportunities, the People, and the Future.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ By Default, the programme will feature the contributions of the Rajapaksa Trio.
The Future belongs neither to the LTTE or for that matter,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ nor to President Mahinda Rajapaksa!
The Future belongs to the next generation of Sinhala!
President Rajapaksa should delegate the responsibilities to competent management, such as Basil & Gothabhaya, who have executed their responsibilities, but kept a low profile.
The PR Machine, especially in the UK should “hound” the mis-deeds of the Tamil Tigers, their criminal activities such as Money Laundering, Racketeering, Prostitution, Scams, Violence, Gang operation of this Wild Bunch of sub-humans.
Pension-off Prof Pieris and replace him with a publicity-savvy Foreign Secretary, and the Presidential Office should keep its grubby fingers away from the Foreign Ministry.
“Why buy a Dog if you want to Bark yourself?”
The two events where the President was subject to public humiliation, proved the Incompetence of the Foreign Ministry. Period!

Professor !! You have been very articulate on this subject many a time. It is time that the GOSL take meaningful cogniscance, and build a formidable PR Force, to counter the Rowdy Tamil Terrorists Sympathisers in UK, US, Canada, Australia and other Countries where this wild bunch of Tamil Scum exists.
The video depicting the TAMIL Terrorists SCUM and the TAMIL Women, using filth in the Heart of the United Kingdom, is shocking. They can be equated to faecal matter strewn in the Buckingham Palace Court Yard. The Englishmen are no more the Gentlemen of the world. It appears that they are compelled to live with the Tamil faecal Stink.
The Government should take this video, and isolate each face, with their actions and curses, and put up a TAMIL SCUM GALLERY at all the entry points to Sri Lanka. Time the Government take a formidable stance on this SCUM.
It is my point of view that the scum behaviour of these Tamils depicted in the video, has absolutely no bearing on the Presidents Personality. While these Rowdy Tamils are shouting in filth,in the Heart of the ENGLISHMANS Territory, His Excellency The President, is shaking hands with the QUEEN, The POPE, The BISHOPs etc. It reflects very badly on the Englishmens Land, which is now converted to a toilet facility which they have to put up with. So goes with all other countries that love to live with the Tamil Stink.
Tamil Terrorism, Rowdyism, Money Laundering, Prostitution, Credit Card Scamming, Gang operated Violence, and Racketeering of all sorts, are now permanently a part of their life. Not one single Ethnic Community from any part of the world, is known to have these evil traits. They are becoming a force unto themselves, and it appears that all the aforesaid countries are so servile, that they lack character to counter the Tamil Intrusion. They are accepting, that, ‘what cannot be cured has to be endured’.
THE TERRORISTS TAMILS WITH THEIR TERRORISTS FLAGS DID NOT WIN THE DAY. THEY ONLY THREW TAMIL FAECAL MATTER AT THE QUEEN, WHILE THE BOBS SMILED ON THE STREETS, NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS SCUM WAS USING RAW FILTH, THE TAMIL WOMEN INCLUDED, IN THE VICINITY OF ROYALTY.

ONE THING I MISSED MENTIONING, WAS THAT TAMIL WOMEN WERE HOLDING A PORTRAIT OF PRESIDENT IN THEIR HAND, AND BEATING HIS FACE WITH A SHOE. THESE WOMEN HAVE TO BE PROFILED.

No point hiring a little dog. Why not a German Shepard ?
Susantha,
White van should be placed in Katunayake to give these women a free ride to club in Colombo to do pole dancing.

This is the best news in weeks.
“Somali Islamists offer 10 camels as bounty for Obama
(CNN) — The United States offers millions for information leading to the capture of the world’s most wanted terrorists.
A Somali militant group has purportedly countered with an offer of camels for U.S. officials.
Al-Shabaab has placed a bounty of 10 camels for President Barack Obama and two camels for information on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”

Never knew one American ASS is worth 2 African camels!!

I am afraid almost all the SL foreign HC’s does not function properly and make matters worst all high level officials only interest in educating their kids in those countries and subservient to the foreign country so that they can stay longer. I have plenty of proofs on this issue and we even have Sinhalese officials that ask for asylum in some countries so their kids can continue their studies.
Almost all the presidential advisors are illiterate and never work in these countries and does not understand foreign cultures and due to this issues we are now becoming a laughing stock and never learn from our mistakes.
We need coherent strategy and proper media policy to counter these wild allegations and hysteria and so far we haven’t got suitable people to do this and President need to take this issue and sort this out for countries image.

While Terrorist Tamils were shouting and slapping on MR Photo with their shoes hero President on the other side of the road was freely talking to Singhalese supporters.
How brave is the President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Actually Scotland Yard & UK Police should be shameful with their bloody politicians

Those who arranged the President to give a talk, for 795 S.Pounds per head, should be stupid.
But, protesting by 2000 or so, some should be thrill seekers, some refugees who do not want to leave, some children etc., is nothing much when Britain, mostly London, has 300,000 Tamils considering some of those protestors came from else where in Europe.

According to newspapers,there are more than one unofficial foreign minister, I think even the Secretary work on his own.

Here is a YouTube presentation that would have not only protected the reputation of President MR, it would have saved the reputation of the country as well, if only this type of short clip were shown at the last UNHRC session in Geneva.
