You will never be able to live a fulfilling life contributing to the greater society & to fearlessly stand by your conscience “If you engage every known/unknown person who slings mud or works hard to destroy you/your work”. Having said that Churchill’s quote never gets old! 😊

Robert De Niro, at the No Kings protest, says Donald Trump needs to be removed from office for being the most dangerous president he has ever seen. He claims the entire government trembles at Trump’s shadow, too afraid to ever say no. "He must be stopped now."

I am proud to join Americans across the country today to say loudly and clearly: We will not accept authoritarianism. We will not accept oligarchy. And we will not accept a president who undermines the Constitution every single day. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Gulf carriers show no interest in Sri Lanka’s Chinese-built ghost airport: Deputy Minister Top Gulf airlines have not responded to Sri Lanka’s call to use the island nation’s Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA), Deputy Civil Aviation Minister said. Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku said the state-run Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has informed Gulf airlines to use the airport. “We have informed them to use the airport, but so far, no one has expressed any willingness to do so,” Deputy Minister Kodithuwakku told EconomyNext. “We have informed all airlines to use this airport as needed, taking into account the difficulties they are currently facing. However, there has been no feedback or interest from their side.” “This is because there is no capacity here to shift their [entire] operation. These are large airlines, aren’t they? So it is impossible for them to easily shift to Mattala. Mattala is, after all, an airport with a passenger capacity of about 1 million.” He said the CAA has informed all airlines that Sri Lanka is ready to provide landing and parking free of charge if they require refuelling and transit. “Yet, there has been no response to the invitations we sent; they have only expressed appreciation, and that is all. He also rubbished media reports over Gulf representative team coming for discussions. The Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA), famously dubbed “the world’s emptiest international airport,” continues to be a significant financial burden on Sri Lanka, accumulating over Rs. 39 billion in net losses over the last six years. Built at a cost of US$209 million primarily through high-interest Chinese loans, the facility was designed to handle one million passengers annually but has recorded only a fraction of that, with expenditure often outstripping revenue by nearly 15 times. The airport incurs a massive operational loss annually, driven by massive overheads and an annual interest cost of Rs. 2.05 billion on foreign debt. Its failure to become a profitable hub is attributed to its remote location in Hambantota, far from the commercial center of Colombo, and a lack of consistent scheduled flights. The financial bleeding persists despite several attempts to revitalize the airport through public-private partnerships (PPP). Sri Lanka cancelled a 30-year management deal with an India-Russia joint venture (Shaurya Aeronautics and Airports of Regions) due to legal concerns and U.S. sanctions on the Indian partner.

Sri Lanka recorded its highest debt repayment in 2025, settling USD 3,900 million, while also reporting a USD 1,700 million surplus despite vehicle imports worth over USD 2,100 million. Minister Upali Pannilage said the repayment, previously thought to peak in 2028, underscores the government’s fiscal management, with USD 29,300 million earned and only USD 27,600 million spent that year.

🇲🇾📞📞📞🇮🇷 Saya telah berhubung dengan Presiden Republik Islam Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, bagi mendapatkan perkembangan terkini berhubung konflik Asia Barat yang kian meruncing. Malaysia merakamkan takziah yang mendalam kepada seluruh rakyat Iran atas kehilangan besar yang menimpa kepimpinan tertinggi negara, termasuk tokoh politik, ketenteraan dan keselamatan, di samping nyawa tidak berdosa, termasuk kanak-kanak dan orang awam. Malaysia mengecam sekeras-kerasnya serangan Israel yang didukung Amerika Syarikat ke atas Iran. Dalam masa yang sama, Malaysia turut menyatakan keprihatinan terhadap negara-negara sahabat di Teluk yang terkesan akibat konflik ini. Malaysia mengutuk sebarang tindakan yang menyasarkan orang awam, kerana ia jelas melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa, prinsip kemanusiaan dan nilai keadilan. Saya turut mengambil maklum kesediaan Iran untuk berunding, dengan syarat penamatan perang secara muktamad. Pengalaman lalu membuktikan bahawa gencatan senjata tanpa jaminan kukuh hanya akan mengulang kitaran keganasan, sebagaimana yang berlaku di Gaza dan Lebanon. Justeru, usaha damai mesti berteraskan keadilan, akauntabiliti dan komitmen berpanjangan. Malaysia percaya keamanan sejati menuntut penyelesaian yang tuntas, demi menjamin keselamatan semua pihak serta memulihkan maruah kemanusiaan di rantau Asia Barat. Saya turut menghargai penghargaan Presiden Pezeshkian terhadap sokongan Malaysia, dan komited untuk terus memperkukuh solidariti ini. Sama-sama kita doakan agar konflik di Asia Barat dapat menemui jalan damai dengan kadar segera. #MalaysiaMADANI #DiplomasiMADANI
