Since the TV started showing the parliament proceedings ,our children have heard many Sinhala Words like ,Balla.Booruwa,Gona.Rilawa,Ballige Putha which are the names of animals in Sinhala .We also heard one when PM called another MP a Dried Pumpkin and the MP called MP arse hole ) Pakkaya ! etc
We never hear any English or Tamil speaking MP uses any harsh words like F..ng Idiot ,C…t ,M,,r F…r etc ?
Most probably these Sinhala speaking MP’s may start using those words which look more offensive if they learn more languages like English
I do not think that none of the MP’s need any language classes. What they need is classes to behave like human beings .They need meditation classes to learn tolerance and foster compassion.

No. They need classes to learn Tamil ( all the nice words).
