Prof. Hudson McLean The Sunday Times article published on 24th June 2012.. http://www.sundaytimes.lk/120624/columns/what-constrains-foreign-direct-investment-4156.html is a well documented, logically presented, Factual Analysis. Sri Lanka has a highly educated, young, healthy population but lacking in Professional Guidance with a less developed Cross-cultural understanding, demanded by a highly competitive Global Scenario. This “Inspector Clouseau” scenario is maintained by […]

Prof. Hudson McLean I have read several articles when the Average Citizens try to communicate with the High Office in the Sri Lanka Government, either they receive a “cold shoulder” or “no comment”. Whilst the letters sent by me to President Bill Clinton, HRH Duke of Edinburgh, Premier Tony Blair, President Premadasa whilst they were […]

Prof. Hudson McLean The Pen is Mightier than the Sword! Once again the Leader of Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa was made to look a fool, for the second time, in the UK. Were these influenced by the Remnants ofƒ”š‚  Tamil Tiger Terrorist Diaspora or simply allowed to occur due to the Ineptitude & Gross […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ From-;ƒ”š‚  Serendib-Taprobane-Lanka-Ceylon-Sri Lanka Thank you Lorenzo for highlighting this important sensitive subject. Brilliant! Lorenzo Says: May 29th, 2012 at 10:01 pm 1. Who named this country Sri Lanka? Totally out of the way. It was known as Ceylon and Hela. ƒ”š‚ The name change from Ceylon to Sri Lanka was the “brain-child” of […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Back to Basics! A simple grass-root explanation to a divisive complex problem created by a minority of senseless trouble-makers, with an Agenda, far from the obvious. Having brought about an end to terrorism, followed by a national General Election, where the current Ruling Party received an over-whelming Vote of Confidence by the […]

Prof. Hudson McLean “Great Minds Think Alike” It is pure coincidence that a couple of scribes mentioned the “slimy actions” of Fonzy, were published by both scribes simultaneously. That goes to show that Fonzy as the General of Army misused his status, dragged the reputation of the Sri Lanka Army down the drain, for his […]

Prof. Hudson McLean This is history repeating itself, now in Sri Lanka. The story is not new. Similar events have occurred in every Continent in these two centuries. Will Sarath Fonseka become the Pervez Musharaff of Sri Lanka? Oh! Fonzy cannot be compared with other political leaders who did spend sometime eating “cold rice”! If […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ Many a patriot as well as sane writers have published their opinions in LankaWeb on the USA-Western assault on Sri Lanka for destroying terrorism of LTTE Tamil Tigers. ƒ”š‚ However, the Americans and the West have decided that Sri Lanka which is placed in the strategic maritime lanes between the West and East, […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ Your Eminence ƒ”š‚  As a Catholic, with a deep respect and a feeling of patriotism towards Sri Lanka, I respectfully address the issue, with regret,ƒ”š‚  on the behaviour of Bishop of Mannar Dr. Rayappu Joseph, acting as a racist and openly supporting anti-Sri Lankan sentiments, supporting Division & Terrorism. ƒ”š‚  Furthermore, as […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ I have been followingƒ”š‚  the learned Hon. Ms. Navnethem Pillai and one must admit that she has excellent credentials to hold the position of Commissioner of UNHRC. ƒ”š‚  http://www.ungei.org/infobycountry/247_2378.html ƒ”š‚  Undoubtedly, her rise to the top of the tree was through her own achievements in South Africa, the African Continent and at […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ This ongoing episode in the LankaWeb reminds me of a 1967 British TV comedy “Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width”, based on two tailors, Manny Cohen, a Jew, and Patrick Kelly, an Irish Catholic .ƒ”š‚  ƒ”š‚  I am flattered that so many persons have searched me on Google and may have […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ Over the past fifteen years, scripts I have submitted have been patriotic, controversial, with the primary objective of creating an interactive Platform for Dialogue. It is always better to allow peoples opnion to “steam-out”, a form of catharsis, than bottling-in, then bursting-out with a cardiac arrest! ƒ”š‚  Said that, my personal opinion […]

Prof.Hudson McLean Do you approve of a people power uprising to oust potential dictators? Sunday Times Poll – 17.02.2012 ƒ”š‚  Indicative of the Current Mood of the Nation.

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ It is an interesting fact that the Arab Spring is now moving towards an Asian Spring. ƒ”š‚  From the Asian Spring Board President Rajapaksa attended the Libyan Festivities in Tripoli a few months before the demise of Colonel Ghaddafi. Next to receive the “Blessing” was the President of Maldives, and soon afterwards, […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ I enjoy reading articles by S.L. Gunasekara. They are well written, factual, good Thomian English of a successful PC. ƒ”š‚  As one reader pointed out, SL, you forgot Premadasa period and his budding dynasty, in the form of Sajith. ƒ”š‚  I have known Premadasa during his terms as a MMC at Colombo […]

Prof. Hudson McLean ƒ”š‚ The recent Presidential Decree of enforcing a minimum US$100.00/night/room for incoming foreign tourists have antoganized many foreign tourists. Many have compared this un-Democratic Decree to the old Soviet system, and to Cuba.ƒ”š‚  This certainly is a negative backword, self-defeating move by the President, who might look at other serious affairs of governing […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Having noted theƒ”š‚  civilised, constructive, balanced, 25 responses until 13.01.2012, by the LankaWeb Readers to my article-; Flickering Fire of LTTE-TNA-Eelam & Explosions of Sinhala Terrorism. Bring Back the Death Penalty! Posted on January 9th, 2012 the Readership mainly supporters of the President Mahinda Rajapaksa supporters and sympathisers, offer various dimensions to […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Whilst the news of yester-year on the annihilation of LTTE Terrorism refuses to disappear, but flickering as highlighted by-; Why can’t the Government take a bold step and put an end to this never ending quarrel by these bankrupt communal Tamil politicians over a separate autonomous de-facto-EELAM in the North and East, […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Government officials and Ruling Party members of the government getting involved in violence, leading to throat-slitting of a British tourist, raping his Russian partner has hit the headlines in many Western and Russian media. High on the heels, the “Big-empty headed” officials not only slam an electronic Entry Visa, which apparently does […]

Prof. Hudson McLean The Return of the Tamil Refugees from Tamil Nadu demonstratesƒ”š‚  the success of the Mahinda Rajapaksa Government policy of humane fairness. As most of the supporters of LTTE Terrorists claim unfair treatment of Tamils in the North and left the shores of Sri Lanka to their historical Homeland of Tamil Nadu. Those […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Wow! I am simply amazed by the reaction to a Simple Question and a Factual Statement of Events. At No Point either writer accused the World’s Largest Religion of Islam Muslim, or any attempt was made to insult the Religion per se. Why cannot some of the readers attempt to answer the […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Right on Shenali Waduge! Your script Why are Muslims killing each other? – Shenali Waduge (LankaWeb – 29/10/11) is Spot On! The way the Libyans disposed of Colonel Ghadaafi, in a most uncivilised, brutal, violent manner, whilst screaming “Alla hu Akbar”, demonstrated only their disgraceful mind-set. Blood thristy, savage mentality. There is […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Just as the Island of Sri Lanka is emerging from one debacle, the bureaucrat who devised the On-line Entry Visa with No Options, should have his head tested. Most countries have Entry Visa on Arrival or obtainable through a Travel Agency Services from the local Consulate. USA and UK have online Entry […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Published articles by Ira de Silva and Asoka Weerasinghe both highlighted the opinions of Tamil pundits, were of interest to all Sinhala patriots and supporters of the Sinhala Nation. First of all, all sensible readers should accept the fact that, “There Are No Tamil Areas” in the Island of Sri Lanka. The […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Under the leadership of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his hawk-eyed brother Colonel Gothabhaya Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka was liberated from a three decade cancer of Terrorism. Some observers have different descriptions, call it what you like, but it was Terrorism! Several countries demonstrated their hidden Agenda when the patriotic Defense Forces crushed Terrorism […]

Prof. Hudson McLean The Rich Sick Society – Bonnie & Clyde wannabe! Whatever is said and done, last weeks events throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain made one thing very clear! Criminality, violence, gang thievery has lifted its ugly head, and must be decapitated immediately. Those who were found guilty should-; 1: Pay financial […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Reference to-; DEAR DEFENCE SECRETARY, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR ? Susantha Wijesinghe. – (LankaWeb – 31/07/11) The story on Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, Major General Shavendra Silva, on the PAVEMENT, has a couple of points require correction. First question: Is Shavendra Silva still recognized as a Major General in […]

Prof. Hudson Mclean Just when the Tamil voters in the North are rejecting the Gift of Friendship offered by HE Mahinda Rajapaksa and the Sinhala population, a massive bomb explodes in Oslo Norway, combined with a massacre of innocent youth and children at a Youth Rally. This picture aptly reminds and brings back the horrific […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Sad events in Oslo Norway, where a “right wing” sympathiser is branded conclusivelyƒ”š‚  as a “Terrorist” without any investigation, when compared with the events during 30 years by the LTTE Terrorists were branded as “Freedom Fighters”, just anything other than criminal terrorists, is considered unfair biased journalism. Erik Solheim International Development Minister […]

Prof. Hudson McLean Hats Off to Dr. Rajiva Wijesingha on his performance on BBC HardTalk with Stephen Sackur tonight 5th July 2011. BBC, as usual, trying to dig into old “gaveyards” to throw some boney muck around, when there are much better positive subjects on Sri Lanka to discuss. As Rajiva said, “Why cant USA, […]
