@AskWorkspace Just a general question related to the email received recently asking to activate 2fa on admin accounts. Is there a dead line?
English

@wasaba Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We'll be glad to help you. Can you share your domain name and are you the super admin for your Workspace account? -AB

@dpanadura @numberslka Most probably this will require a referendum the way it is enshrined in the constitution.

@numberslka This is a good decision for the future of this country.
The terrible idea here is to Compare this with Living former presidents and framing this as a political revenge.
I think future presidential candidates can focus more on building the country, rather than personal benefits.
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 English

Sri Lanka’s 🇱🇰 Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Act 2025 is one of the most shortsighted policies ever proposed. Here's why it's a terrible idea:
⭕️ Who’s affected?
Living former Presidents & widow:
• Mahinda Rajapaksa – 79
• Gotabaya Rajapaksa – 76
• Ranil Wickremesinghe – 76
• Maithripala Sirisena – 74
• Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga – 80
• Hema Premadasa (widow) – 89
⭕️ 🇱🇰 Life expectancy: 77.8 years
All are already well past 70 - several past 80.
From an actuarial standpoint, this so-called "burden" will naturally resolve itself within a few years. There is no long-term cost to justify the repeal.
⭕️ Yet, the bill completely strips away all benefits pension, staff, security previously provided under the 1986 Act.
Most democracies, regardless of political change, continue to offer modest support to former heads of state.
This move makes Sri Lanka look petty and vindictive on the global stage.
⭕️ Worse, it sets a dangerous precedent.
Rather than encouraging dignified retirement, it creates perverse incentives to:
• Stay in power longer
• Maximize personal gain while in office
• Secure corrupt deals before leaving
When no post-office dignity is guaranteed, the temptation to extract while in power increases.
⭕️ The repeal is also retroactive, impacting those who served under the previous legal framework.
This raises serious constitutional concerns.
Global legal norms discourage retroactively removing entitlements that were guaranteed at the time of service.
⭕️ If passed, Sri Lanka becomes an international outlier:
🇺🇸 US – pension, staff, lifelong security
🇮🇳 India – pension, residence, personal aides
Most democracies maintain respect and support for ex-leaders, regardless of politics.
⭕️ And what does the country gain in return?
• Tiny fiscal savings
• Major constitutional risk
• Damaged international reputation
• No real long-term benefit — age will take care of this "issue" naturally
⭕️ Bottom line:
This is not smart policy.
Not meaningful reform.
Just a populist stunt driven by short-term political gain.
Laws must be written with tomorrow in mind, not as punishment for yesterday.
