Perhaps we can develop Colombo our capital city like Singapore and the rest of the contry like Malaysia with our own flavours to it. But I ran out of my patience when I was only 20 years old and decided to get out of the country for good and now I live in Australia for the last 25 years. But I have not given up my hope for my country. I think now it is the time. We have the country under one flag and one strong President with a family of patriotic citizens. The North has been liberated and millions of tribute are still flowing to our President and his family for the hard work they have done. Now we all must get together to make sure that the Northern development will go ahead solidly as possible with no curruption to report. A committee of intellectuals, leading entrepreneurs, bureaucrats and politicians must get together with one accord. However, do not forget the famous saying "camel is a horse made by a committee".
