Problems should be viewed from different angles- Housing Minister

Shirley Wijesinghe

A problem should be viewed from different facets and angles in order to understand the real gravity of it, said Minister of Housing and Common Amenities Ferial Ashraff speaking at the annual awards ceremony for the winners of the All Island Art Exhibition and Competition conducted by the e Royal College Art Circle yesterday.

Minister Ashraff said that a picture drawn by a group of students who sit around a table is completely different to the real item . Some items would have been missing from their picture and certain features omitted unwittingly.

Likewise a problem cannot be discerned immediately nearly by examining the surface.

It has to be gone into deeply to obtain true picture of the matter..

The Minister said things can be gauged correctly only after all angles have been gone into deeply..

She commended the efforts of the Royal College Art Circle in providing an opportunity for students from all over the island to participate in the exhibition and competition.

Over 8000 students took part in the competition.
