Prof. Hudson McLean Just last week Boko Haram, the Nigerian Terror Group decided to seek ISIS Franchise in Africa and demonstrated their savage terror capability by decapitating innocent Egyptian Christians, turning the sea into red colour. Concurrently, the Prime Minister of Maldives was subjected to a judicial process and currently imprisoned for a lengthy period. […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Problems as alleged in various accusations against the Rajapaksa family are being repeated over & over again by the cohorts in the President Maithreepala Sirisena Trio – CBK-RW, who should look at their own “Glass House”. However it seems that those who are screaming loudest have darker clouds hanging over their heads, […]

I received an interesting note from Australia, which I wish to Copy & Paste. …….”I’ve been told  that both CBK and RW invited MY3 to Temple Trees to give him a crash course in table etiquette prior […]

Prof. Hudson McLean A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words! The following pictures leave anyone Speechless! The President of Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka Prajatantrika Samajavadi Janarajaya (Sinhala);, lands in London dressed more like a clown from a circus. Obviously President Maithreepala Sirisena and Mrs Sirisena got a local tailor from Grandpass […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Some of the Responses to Support Mahinda Rajapaksa Campaign” was typical of the Bicycle Shed Syndrome! The “Bicycle Shed Syndrome” is when a multi-million dollar project comes to a halt, due to the fact than minions with bird brains begin to object to the minor details of setting-up the Bicycle Shed! Sri […]

Prof. Hudson McLean A RIVER DOES NOT FLOW BACKWARDS” – By M D P DISSANAYAKE The words from the Pulpit (well presented) and the responses from the Gallery were a joy to read. It is pretty obvious that Mahinda Rajapaksa is a Trade Name, not only in Sri Lanka but building a reputation outside the […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Great to recognize the excellent content published today, as always,  in LankaWeb by HLD Mahindapala and Shenali Waduge.  I know for a fact that this content will be looked at with a “fine-toothcomb” by RAW and the West. As responded by Franz Dias, (and agreed by most Sinhala) the most important is […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Many moons ago, during one of my long hops into Sri Lanka, I visited a small Buddhist Temple, by prior appointment, to meet a famous elderly Buddhist monk, a Scholar. The Venerable monk, was well read, including Shakespeare, Chaucer and T.S. Eliot. Spoke excellent English. Those were the days without the Internet, […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Maithreepala Sirisena’s (MS) comfort meal of hoppers leading to the overthrow of Mahinda Rajapaksa (MR), was like Termites eating through the woodwork beneath the surface.  That was a Cheap Stunt! A REAL man with guts, would have told MR, who was his Leader that, Mr President, Thank you for the invitation to […]

Prof. Hudson McLean STOP-the-Rot setting in! Wood-eating white Termites are prevalent in Sri Lanka, destroy homes. Over three decades of the LTTE Tamil Tiger Terrorism, ignored by successive Sri Lankan governments led by UNP & SLFP, it took One Man and his team to topple the megalomanic Velupillai Prabhakaran and his murderers. CBK & RW, […]

Prof. Hudson McLean As said before, the Sri Lanka Soap Opera continues with intrigue, suspense, revenge, manipulation, sniping, more like a good Alfred Hitchcock thriller. The plot revolves around political greed to hang-on to ill-gotten power. The way RW connived to reach Buckingham Palace in Colombo, aka Temple Trees, using CBK (who enjoyed ‘knifing’ the […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Dear Contributors & Readers of LankaWeb A few of you have requested my details a couple of times, which I chose to ignore. Once again the interest arises! I have been a contributor  to LankaWeb, almost since its inception, supporting always the Unified Sovereignty of Sri Lanka and the Rights of Sinhala […]

Prof. Hudson McLean As a journalist, I consider LankaWeb to be an Open, Independent, portrayal of genuine opinions of Sri Lankans. There are, over the past ten years, contributors have changed their opinions, political parties, and still succeeded to publish their content in LankaWeb. Since the recent Regime Change on 9th January 2015, the general […]

Prof. Hudson McLean  As a firm, unashamed supporter of Patriotic Sinhala Nationalists, I find the response of Mr. Bernard Wijeyesingha Totally Unacceptable, Unpatriotic, will be a fast-track to shed blood!.  There is No Way, the majority of the Sri Lankan population, including some Tamil & Muslim would accept the creation of a grossly over-crowded Tamil […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Whats going-on currently in Sri Lanka, headed by My3 Sirisena, a Puppet-on-a-String, voodoo-danced by the proverbial loser Ranil Wickremesingha (RW), is frighteningly disturbing.  When I met his dad some years back, the late Esmond Wickremesinghe in his wood-paneled library (his wife was not allowed there, I was told), although he got the […]

Prof. Hudson McLean The two major Regime Changes, in Iraq & Libya, orchestrated by USA-EU have demonstrated catastrophic disasters. The world is turned into a global theatre of blood baths, by the changes. Now on to the USA-EU band-wagon joins India to affect Regime Change in Sri Lanka. “Mission Accomplished” but at what cost? Within […]

 Prof. Hudson McLean The Article by Gomin Dayasiri was right to the point. The respondents backed the logic of Gomin Dayasiri with blunt correctness. Many of the Sri Lankans settled in USA – EU – Canada – ANZ – Singapore, have done well to reach top positions in their domain, in the midst of multi-national […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Few Responses which demand a Response. SA Kumar Says: February 5th, 2015 at 7:15 am Thank you SA Kumar. Sir, Glad to see that, presumable as a Tamil, you tend to accept the Change of Country Name to; Sinhela – Sinhala – Heladiva. Furthermore, you are welcome to call Tamil Nadu, as […]

Prof. Hudson McLean News clips in Sri Lankan media and the on-going discussions in LankaWeb, is as entertaining as watching a TV Soap Opera like Dallas or South or the British Coronation Street, which some of the younger readers may have missed. A discussed during and immediately after the Presidential Elections, one of the reasons […]

Prof. Hudson McLean LankaWeb has come a long way since the inception. From a proverbial gossip column to a respected serious journal, well moderated, with a band of civilised, cultured contributors. Opinions differ amongst the Scribes, but decent civility has been an important virtue amongst the clan. To my surprise I found that apart from […]

Prof. Hudson McLean New York Times article – Humiliating Sri Lanka’s National Flag! This is an outrageous act by a nincompoop who should be taken to task according to American Law. President Sirisena should instruct the Sri Lankan Ambassador Washington to take appropriate action. As a predominantly Buddhist country, Sri Lanka will not act in […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Re my article – Did ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa turn Temple Trees into a Dog House?” Thank you Gentlemen for your opinions. However, whilst disagreeing with my statements, mario_perera Says: January 28th, 2015 at 8:01 pm “The truth is that every previous president would have done so if only his or her hands […]

Prof. Hudson McLean After an election, specially when the Party-in-Power gets booted-out, mud-raking is a global pastime. Every new incoming Leader and his followers first priority is to ram-in the negatives before any thing else. In the case of the ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa, MR deserves a better “Goodbye” handshake, for saving Sri Lanka from blood-shed […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Most of the writers in LankaWeb keep on stressing the “Importance of a United Undivided Sri Lanka”, whilst a few promote rather jaundiced racist lines of Sri Lanka on Divisive by Race – Creed – Ethnicity. A Broad Question to Readers of LankaWeb & Beyond! Should the division of Sri Lankan or […]

Prof. Hudson McLean When the Korean Airlines executive Ms Cho Hyun-ah, abused her power over a packet of peanuts, as the daughter of Cho Yang-ho the Executive Chairman of Korean Airlines, she was publicly “Grounded” from all her powerful positions in the company. http://tinyurl.com/k892e2f http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/13/world/asia/korean-airs-chairman-removes-daughter-from-executive-posts-after-nut-incident.html?_r=0 Similar incidents are now racing around Colombo by Dhumb Sirisena, […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Was Mahinda Rajapaksa aware of the alleged corrupt dealings of his own brother Basil Rajapaksa Secretary of Economic Affairs under ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa? With another brother Gothabaya Rajapaksa as Secretary of Defense, with Security under his domain, GR must have been aware of goings-on? And then, did the arrogant son, Namal Rajapaksa […]

Prof. Hudson McLean The article published The minority supremacy Nalin de Silva, with the map of Sri Lanka clearly proves that, if not for the Minority Vote, MR would have swept through into the Presidential Throne. In a way this is a good lesson to all Sinhela community realize their mistake(?) and in the future […]

 Prof. Hudson McLean  During the tenure of MR, he maintained cordial and civilised contact with the Leader of the Opposition Ranil Wickramasinghe. A few had negative comments. When MR defeat was announced, it was Ranil who had the courtesy to visit Temple Trees to arrange the transition of power. One point which bothered MR was […]
