Dear Sir,
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
I sincerely feel I should respond to some of the comments made by Lanka Peiris, in your prestigious journal (Oh what an outlet for desperados like us) on my article on What Mahinda Should Be Doing.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
I truly respect the viewsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ of Lanka and observations made by him/her (I am confused of the gender).ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ However I need to clarify a single point as I take Anglo Saxons as a whole be it the American, English, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand variety, although I targeted and focused in this instanceƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ English specifically along with Americans. Lanka it seems is a bit inclined towards England, probably living over there.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
As I have my exposure to both Canada and Australia I sincerely feel Canadians and Aussies are far more enlightened creatures than their counterparts in EnglandƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ when it comes to simplicity of livingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ leading a life in a non-rigidƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Classless society.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ However their inclinations and amity towards their ‘mother country’ still
remainƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and promoting English and Holding examinations (Aussies are virtually bankrupt and Services in Education is one of their main earners inƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ foreign exchange) are on their cards.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
My suggestion of establishing a Ministry for Development of North and East could be a venture, on a temporary basis,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ as these areas have been neglected far too long, for decades and need special attention at this crucial point in time, be it for Tamils, Muslims, Sinhalese, Burghers(in Batticalo), Malays and Sri Lankans of African origin(in Puttalam).ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ We need not take this issue on racial grounds as I read in between the lines
on Lanka’s response.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
Also it is ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ paramount importance that we Expats, especially the Sinhalese,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and also expats who sympathise with our mother country, to form a front as we did at the time of challenging the dreaded 13th Amendment(yours truly represented the World Federation of Expatriates at Supreme Court hearing)ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and offer advice to Mahinda on issues pertaining to challenges posed by Tamil diaspora, (95% dispersed on their own initiative or self-excileƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ rather than been driven away) as we lack politicians of the calibre of Lalith and Laxman, who could have taken on Anglo Saxons head on as they were intelligent, brilliant and articulate.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Especially on the issue of War Crimes and Trade sanctions,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ top notch law firms need to to be tapped either within or outside of Britain and US andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to form lobby groups in places like Washington, Boston and London.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
As for others who had the care to read and comment onƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ my articleƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ I feel they need no further enlightenment on the subject of Anglo Saxons.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ We have a tough time ahead of us and the country needs us at this juncture.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Personally I feel US embassies in all countries are branches of CIAƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ every worker from top to bottom, work for this most dreaded organisation in the world, who eliminatedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ those nationalists who failed to tag the Anglo Saxon line,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ like Lumumba, Bandaranayake, Allende, JFK, King, the list goes on and on and we should beƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ aware of countries like Norway who are just puppets of CIA.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Mahinda needs to be careful and needs protection both inside the country and outside especially when he travels abroad.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚

I cannot agree more with the writer. The patriotic expats should come together as a forum to advise the President and assist embassies to disseminate the Govt. position on issues that have the potential to impact our country’s good name. Currently there is a shortage of skills and expertise required for this purpose both within the country and outside.
