The Sri Lankan election victory in 2024 is Unique.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the Parliamentary Elections in other major Democratic countries, such as USA, UK, India, Singapore retained the old guard and the legendary historical old two party system, Sri Lankan voter brought totally new blood into the equation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electorate was totally fed up of the old junkies from UNP, SLFP were sidelined in the quest for a totally new leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Old Guard\u201d, which is the incorrect word to be described as Old Guard, since these Old Guards ransacked the Island with rampant corruption. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Top Down these leaders lined their own pockets, and creamed their palaces and cars, travelled in luxury, and got fatter whilst the poor scrambled for their livelihood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corruption and Corrupt Businessmen & Politicians Must be Brought to Book by the Legal Solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several times I met the Sri Lankan delegations visiting official missions and most of them had a shopping list to be given to the foreign hosts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Corruption with no shame!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is well know that most of the government officials, police officers need greezing\u201d!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President may consider appointing an Anti Corruption Czar<\/strong> to encourage squeeling\u201d<\/strong> to bring the corrupt officials, name & shame them with a legal punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, Sri Lanka is a beautiful country paradise, with the average Sri Lankan with sincere smile.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President should now bring that Smile Back!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
