L.

L. Jayasooriya Instead of building an airport at Kundasala there is enough flat land at a higher elevation a little distance from Kandy town where a 4 km. runway can be built for an International Airport with no flights.

L. Jayasooriya We cannot and we should not tolerate the constant insults by India and threats by America.

America has many […]

L. Jayasooriya The greatest weakness of the Sinhala Buddhist has been to accept the word of the other person as a word spoken in sincerity and believe in its sincerity.

L. Jayasooriya A foreign correspondent who interviewed Gotabhaya very aggressively today on the 28th May asked him why Sinhalese are settling down in predominantly Tamil areas to which Gotabhaya reacted very appropriately and told him that any citizen can buy property and settle down anywhere in the country he wants.

L. Jayasooriya The postmortem on India is still not over. Yesterday on March 26th Minister GL Peiris at a televised news conference using the most scathing words possible against India in the politest possible language and tone stated what Sri Lanka felt about India.

L. Jayasooriya Three patriotic men MR, Gota and SF were working as a team until one night when India telephoned MR that a military coup was imminent.

L.

L. Jayasooriya The government has announced a massive 600,000 unit condominium project for the “so-called”ƒ”š‚ low income groups. Irrespective of the definition of “low income groups”ƒ”š‚ the idea is sound and is the most economical provided a few vital factors are borne in mind. The first is the choice of the architect. It is most […]

L. Jayasooriya There is a lot of talk about devolution these days but please let me say this. If any form of devolution is granted it means our country will no longer be a unitary state and the Tamil politicians in those areas will not permit any Sinhalese to settle down there and those who […]

L. Jayasooriya The country thanks you for the way you handled that Arbour woman and the Pilli woman and others of that type. We also thank you for getting friendly countries to understand the real situation with regard to accusations of human rights violations made by the most sadistically brutal butchers of innocent men, women […]

L. Jayasooriya We all thought that the government has proved beyond doubt that the channel 4 tape was a fake and on the refusal of the BBC to admit it the government has gone to Courts in UK on this matter but Tissaranee Gunasekere writing to the Asian Tribune on Sunday the 20th December 2009 […]

L. Jayasooriya Judging by the assets that SF has declared as given in the front page of the Island on Saturday 19th December he is a pauper compared to even some provincial councillors, never mentioning others.

By L. Jayasooriya There is an identity of opinion between Mr. Prasanna Ranathunge the Western Province Chief Minister and the Island Newspaper when they both say that the 13 th amendment was an act that was passed in parliament and therefore it has to be implemented.

He then provided proof for his statement in the next […]

L. Jayasooriya Sri Lanka understands with relief that the term of the American Ambassador Robert O Blake has ended and that he has been promoted most probably on the recommendation of Hillary Clinton who is exactly on the same wave length as him.
