@Meerasrini @the_hindu We've never been good at understanding irony....

Does RW know that teachers have to apply for paper marking? And that this is not something he can send the army in to do?

@Miracle_Island @Welikumbura @Hayleys_Group The tea industry has made super profits on the backs of people who lag behind in all social and health indicators in this country. Why are we pretending that this thoughtless award that perpetuates this servitude is a good thing?

@VaidehiP7 @Welikumbura @Hayleys_Group People live in shanties too.. If u want want to help with people instead help with a meal, instead give them a solution 4 life and generations to come..

Her name is R. Sideyiamma mother of 3; she won a competition for the fastest tea plucker by @Hayleys_Group. It's been almost 200 since the plantation industry started to exploit her people. Still, they are fighting for reasonable wages & living standards. #lka #YeaSlavery

@Miracle_Island @Welikumbura @Hayleys_Group Hard to see how a line room can be called housing.....

@Welikumbura @Hayleys_Group They get reasonable wages after increase few years back..Then they get free housing and many smaller perks from the Estate they live in..They get fairly permanent work, EPF, Holiday pay, annual bonus etc too unlike village folks..

Dr. Sinnaiah Sivaruban🧑‍⚕️, former JMO at Palai Hospital🏥 Kilinochchi that held under PTA since 2019 was released on bail after 4 years. He was the key medical witness of a sexual assault & murder case of a 12 years old girl👧 by an EPDP member in 2012. #lka #SriLanka #RepealPTA

In June last year, when I tweeted about the massive shortage of vital drugs at the Surgical ICU at National Hospital, Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella asked me to stop visiting ICUs with a camera. Less than a year later, we are still at square one. #LKA #SriLanka

Different treatments for protestors by Sri Lanka police in #Colombo. The first group (📎1,2) staged a Satyagraha for freedom where they were brutally attacked while the other group (📎3,4) was supported by the police. #SriLanka #lka

We strongly condemn the arrest of Hon. Selvarajah Kajendran et al in Jaffna last afternoon, while others are permitted to burn parts of the Constitution outside the #Parliament itself! This unashamed act yet again exposes the racist attitude of the #Government. #Right_to_Protest.

@alisabrypc For goodness sake stop using clichés. And stop pretending that singing the national anthem in Tamil has solved the ethnic problem!

United we stand - Divided we fall ! 🇱🇰

@DharshanJeya @alisabrypc Remember he is the same learned counsel who thought that sanctions had bilateral consent!

So happy to see Sri Lankans in Jaffna celebrating national day rejecting the call for division Only a handful of self serving elements stand in the way of national unity and reconciliation. 🇱🇰 can - 🇱🇰will!

How much does it cost to keep a helicopter or a fighter plane in the air for half an hour? I would really like to know.....

@Leela333 @ShiranFernand14 @roelraymond How about we cut the bloated defence budget, the number of ministers, silly expense on public tamashas, before we touch free education that has changed the lives of whole generations for the better?

@ShiranFernand14 @roelraymond Time to stop free Uni Education. One way to reduce taxes.

What is being done to #WasanthaMudalige sets my teeth on edge. Todays judgement was so clear about lack of evidence against Mudalige & misuse of the PTA. And yet this boy has been behind bars for over 160 days in a most disgusting, targetted act of political revenge. Disgusting.

@Menitweet @DinooWickramag1 I seem to live directly under their flight path to Ratmalana. So many of them! Helicopters in the air, dire economic hardship below. Protesters in prison. Punitive Rehab Bill in the offing. Looks like a dictatorship to me.....

කාගෙ petrol ද මේ? 4th one to fly this morning! Ranil’s Independence Day එකට Practiceලු 🤔 all this while we have powercuts and fuel quotas. #lkr #FuelPrices #NotMyPresident

@vindib_ Does he think that's the very worst the world is saying about us?

hate to break it to GOSL… but no, we actually don’t have the money and what money we do have is depreciated beyond repair. #SriLankaCrisis

@DinooWickramag1 We don't really look for a king with three daughters to play Lear do we? And Sir Ian McKellen played plenty of straight roles..... Because he's an actor and that's what actors do.

What’s your take on people who don’t identify strictly as gay, playing #gay roles in movies / theatre? Asking because this personally affected me too. Willing to have a conversation & not be #Cancelled

Letting the police raid schools for drugs is a really bad idea. Yes, drugs are a serious problem, but this plan will terrify kids and lead to all kinds of bribery and corruption.

@iromip Everyone I know is helping 2 or 3 families. The government is just expecting decent people to their job for them. While continuing to waste money that could be used elsewhere.

Community kitchens are a stop gap, not a solution. Politicians continue to get away with so much, in this case not addressing serious hunger and nutrition issues. Community kitchens are also a way of passing the burden onto others - charities, donors, goodwill of people.
