We have to eliminate the ex-LTTE and Diaspora quickly before they lie
and instigate other problems in Sri Lanka and the world. Their
infiltrated agents and supporters are still operating as usual. Arms,
drugs, money laundering etc. evading taxes and illegally taking millions
from collections throughout the world.
Looks like no one can stop them because they get information from the
inside. Using the FBI, Interpol. etc is the best way to eliminate them.
The international world should watch their activities thoroughly, and
not give them opportunities to move freely as though their operation is
legalised. They have lawyers, doctors, engineers, top civil servants,
businessmen etc. in their profiles.

The above is a very interesting article which has very good ideas.
I am happy to contribute to a fund as suggested by Prof. M.
Dissanayake. I strongly suggest that the Government use this opportunity
to open an account for Nation Building fund and make the details
available to every Sri Lankans (local and overseas).
My guess is that even the genuine Tamils including those who were
forced to contribute to the LTTE will join.
We are happy and proud of the leaders including the heroic forces for
winning this historic battle against LTTE terrorism, which devastated
the economy and the social fabric of Sri Lanka, while becoming a threat
to the whole world.
We have lost opportunities in the past and lagged behind five decades
and paid a high price. We can't afford to miss this opportunity.
Best wishes Sri Lanka.

The scientific energy known as Karma is the cause of re-birth. In
analysing how and why there is sorrow and how to prevent sorrow the
Buddha discovered that sorrow is there because we are born. This Karma
energy is initiated by the individuals mind and developed by his action.
My question is just like any other scientific energy which when
commenced has to expend itself, are there any ways and means by which
the individual can avoid going through the adverse Karmic energy? and is
there any way if it cannot be stopped whether it can be diluted or
weakened?

I was shocked and awed when I read the article where above all Israel
is claiming a human rights violation by Sri Lanka. Just tell Israel to
look into the dirt in their own eyes before searching for dirt anywhere
else.
Israel definitely is the biggest violator of human rights for the
past several decades and the UN has ignored it with the rest of the
world, of course, with the backing of the West. Tell Israel to stop
killing Palestine children immediately and someone please make a
resolution to bring Israel to International Criminal Courts immediately.

A branch of the Royal Institute is now located at Maharagama facing
both Daham Mawatha and Cancer Hospital Road. The establishment of this
institute several months ago has been blocking both Daham Mawatha and
the Cancer Hospital Road which is very busy, especially the morning
session.
The residents are undergoing a great deal of difficulties, due to
this situation created by this school, blocking the resident motorists
and pedestrians who are compelled to walk on the middle of the road as
all school vans and cars are parked on either sides of the road, till
noon. In addition to this, the school has blocked the front area just
opposite the school premises where even resident pedestrians cannot
walk.
This situation further plays havoc by aggravating the traffic jam on
Dehiwela-Maharagama Road.
Either the school authorities or the Police should take action.

Taxpayers were aware that VAT and NBT for April 2009 had to be paid
on or before May 20, 2009. However on May 19, 2009 at 12.30 p.m. it was
announced that May 20, 2009 would be a holiday. Therefore taxpayers did
not have the facility to settle their dues on the last day.
These payments were made on May 21, 2009, I suggest that no penalty
be imposed on the taxpayers for the delay as it had occurred due to no
fault of theirs. It may be true that computers have been set to impose
penalty after the last date.
However administrative measures should be taken to reverse this
penalty when appeal is made by the taxpayers on receiving assessment
notices. It is the duty of the Department of Inland Revenue to secure
the goodwill of the taxpayers.
I presume President Mahinda Rajapaksa to look into this matter for
necessary action.

Of what use is Fame,
If thou can't
Keep thy Name?
When, one takes bribe,
And get into strife?
Then, there won't be Fame,
But, only Shame!
Resist temptations
Of the devil.
Kick him Out,
Listen Not
To his tales!
Never let the devil
Try his pranks,
Put him down,
And crush him off!
Don't get caught
To the evil one,
Make him flee
And Never come back!
If thou art of
Weak character plus,
The devil will tempt, triumph,
And deceive thee!
So, be Bold,
Stick to thy guns,
And win the fight
For the right!
Don't give up,
Make up thy mind,
Is it for Fame
Or, for Shame!

Reports on the death of the Gammuduwatta boy who was crushed to death
with the collapse of the tunnel constructed for the Highway at Narawala
in the Galle District on May 26, 2009 referred to the incident as an
accidental death.
Yes, so it was, but as it appears to the common eye as the outcome of
shirking responsibilities by the so-called qualified people manning the
work site, 'accidental death' is too euphemistic a term and should be
changed to 'homicide' instead, though this particular boy had not been
targetted.
As the talk in the area goes, true or not, those 'big people' at the
work place, entrust their responsibilities to the unskilled and indulge
in their wild sprees.
The latter, probably too ignorant to foresee the gravity of shoddy
work and only anxious to do the work entrusted to them, have it
completed irrespective of quality.
Here is only a case of one innocent paying with life for others'
sins. Right along the new highway, there are many such tunnels. Once the
road is open to traffic and vehicles start playing, can't worse
disasters occur if the quality of work at those places is the same?
The recent unfortunate incident should be thoroughly inquired into
and those responsible should be firmly dealt with, by the respective
authorities.
The parents who have been having high hopes in the only son they can
only seek solace in the old saying "those whom the gods love die young."

Garlands of contrastive red flowers
To the world renowned mighty heroes
Celebrative crowds in every
corner of the streets
Mark of happiness, that overflows
On every single face
Heartiest feelings and pouring blessings
From the nation, to a 'King of Vigour'
And the team of herculeans
Filled with ambitious patriotism
And their enormous enthusiasm
Fought against terrorism
And embraced the golden sword
The sword of victory
Long spell of very many years
The war crime declined
Bow downs of the civilians
Paying gratitude and salutes
For the noble service, an ennoble peace
Be cautious my great sons
Of the roots with hidden thorns
Never to raise up
Thoughts and blessings in abundance
Towards the sacrifices
And to do the rest, the load ahead
We, the faithful citizens
By reckoning of the awful chapters
May remember this golden era
Bound with the truth, trust and faith
Until our last breath
