\u00a0Prof. Hudson McLean<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Article by Gomin Dayasiri was right to the point.<\/p>\n

The respondents backed the logic of Gomin Dayasiri with blunt correctness.<\/p>\n

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 competition.\u00a0 Family connections & bribery hardly was\u00a0 a decisive factor.<\/p>\n

This proves the fact that given an opportunity that, Sri Lankans are World Class.<\/p>\n

And there are similar brains in Sri Lanka, only stepped upon, by the domineering political family mafia, feeding their own spoilt fat brats.<\/p>\n

I fully agree with all those who responded positively to Gomin Dayasiri on his frank opinions.<\/p>\n

Also I agree 100% that all those Sri Lankan (Sinhela) with Dual-nationality or who have Residence Permit in any foreign country, should they wish to participate in governance in Sri Lanka, MUST renounce their allegiance to another country. Period.<\/p>\n

They cannot have their bread-buttered-on-both-sides!<\/p>\n

One cannot serve two masters concurrently.<\/p>\n

Thats almost prostitution. Non negotiable point.<\/p>\n

I am afraid, at this point, Hon. Gothabaya Rajapaksa should decide whether he wishes to renounce his USA Citizenship.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Same applies to the new Chief Justice!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was about to mention the name of Chief Justice HNG Fernando who father was late Justice W.M. Fernando.<\/p>\n

Son of HNG was late Justice Mark Fernando, another true gentleman in Ceylon judiciary. I knew both HNG & Mark!<\/p>\n

All three of them had the right and possibility to hold British citizenship which they never ever wanted. Mark Fernando would have been welcomed to any prestigious London Chambers, to earn a few million bucks per annum.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Musical Chairs, the Indian government has offered assistance to dig into the financial affairs of Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksa and family.<\/p>\n

My personal opinion is that, President Maithree Sirisena should respectfully refuse to accept this offer.<\/p>\n

MR was the President of Sri Lanka, a Sri Lankan citizen and MR should only be subjected to the Laws of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 We do not need any Indian or any other who might dash to Saraswathi Tamil Dosai Boutique to have a quick lunch in between deliberations.<\/p>\n

Perhaps, there should be an Independent Sinhela-Sri Lankan Tribunal, possibly all party, to invite all politicians, specially the ones who are now about to get fat, to have a Day of Catharsis\u201d of their Souls, to come clean.<\/p>\n

Of course this will be under oath. They will also offer unlimited access to verify their assets, with an agreement that, whatever excess the investigators find shall belong to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

I think this is Fair Game\u201d! Dont you?<\/p>\n

Any opinions?<\/p>\n
