@ChinthakaC75211 @SPriyawickrama Shouldn’t she be clear enough? Because she’s the one who is talking about it.
English
@SPriyawickrama She was talking about the oil refinery investment which is the highest ever foreign direct investment signed under NPP govt worth $ 3.7 billions. Sinopec entrance to the SL oil market is just a competitor entered in 😂. U better understand the context before posting bullshit 🤷♂️

Lying this boldly isn’t politics. It’s fraud.

This is what a $500/night 5-star hotel thinks a gym should look like: a closet with $99.99 worth of Temu dumbbells.
Luxury hotels will spend millions on marble fountains but can't spare 100sqm for a proper fitness center.
After 10+ years of global travel, I've seen this pattern everywhere, from Switzerland to the USA. Great rooms, best croissant for breakfast, but a "gym" that feels like an afterthought.
I can't make up my mind why this still happens in 2025.
The market is literally begging for a hotel chain built for modern needs:
- World-class gym facilities
- Healthy food available 24/7
- Proper workspaces with adjustable desks
- Recovery rooms and wellness amenities
Think Continental Hotel from John Wick, minus the assassins, plus squat racks.
I'd be happy to pay membership fees for access to a global network of these facilities. Combine it with medium-term stays and you've got a winning formula.
Who else would support this concept? What would you add to make it perfect for tech pros?
Let's be honest: in 2025, a great gym matters more than a marble fountain in the hall. I'd rather pay for cryo-therapy than an overpriced hotel SPA treatment no one uses.

@shan67173 As a person who has witnessed this festival many years, I know for a fact that a lot of Buddhists do take part in this
English
Theru Festival in Matale ,Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 a Tamil Hindu Festival 🕉️
This is the reality, in Buddhist☸️ Majority areas in SL , Tamils freely practice their religion and live
But Buddhists cant even build a single buddhist Temple in Tamil Hindu areas without getting backlash from🕉️s

@rizwan_shafy @elihoole All these guys from the state sector supported NPP last election. How long should we give them to do what they preached?

@elihoole And you want the change immediately like a spell from Harry Potter?

I made 12 calls to the Department of the Registrar of Companies today.
I got through to an officer twice.
The officer hung up—midway through my first sentence—on both occasions.
@Chathurangaab wants a $35 BN export industry.
Read the Google reviews, deputy minister. 👍🏼

@ShamirCader @alisabrypc Out of curiosity, didnt they say anywhere that they would still be renegotiating it?
English
@alisabrypc 1/2 - Former minister, with all due respect, I know you're not like the other blind RW followers. You understand what AKD always said about the IMF's stance. He said that once the previous government got into it, we had to go ahead with it and there was no turning back. .

@gayaradesilva It’s done every time when a new Parliament is appointed

This is fantastic!
Even companies/universities have orientation. It helps give a smooth transition into the new role. To now hear our parliament is doing it 👏🏽
Has this been ever done before to new parliamentarians in SL?

@PasinduSenanay7 2019 6.9 million people could have signed a petition and removed AKD’s civic rights, but they didn’t fall that low. 😃

ප්රජා අයිතිය නැති කරන ක්රියාවලිය මොකක්ද?
Someone here know the process to remove Ranil's civic rights? Petitions?
I can collect 15 000 signatures against Ranil in Induruwa area in Benthota. 😊

We Tamils in the North are forever "grateful" to the security forces for "liberating" us. If not for them, we’d never have had the chance to enjoy burgers, pizza, or @Popeyes chicken. We’d still be stuck eating pittu (and mutton curry)—how tragic that would’ve been!

Positive discussions focused on economic reforms & future collaboration under the new government. 🇱🇰 #SriLanka #IMF #LKA #EconomicRecoverySL @IMFNews A high-level delegation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) arrived in Sri Lanka today (October 2) for discussions with the newly formed government, led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

@Thanushka02 Ofc yes. Hopefully AKD can ignore 3% and continue financial reforms
English
Mewan is spot on here. AKD has gone full capitalist.I was also worried about how hard core JVPies would react, then its struck me, its only 3%. 🤣 The balance are Gota 2 supporters, who has no sense of economics.They can be fed some random emotional/sob story and SL should be ok
Mewan Gunawardena@rowmewan1
AKD since taking the top job has shown no signs of left leaning. He seems fully aware that a majority rejected the communist ideology. I wonder how this would go down with the hardcore JVP supporters?

@rowmewan1 More like you are having a vision of what’s happening next at the GE

Interesting encounter this morning, close to the parliament 😁
