Fine. Simple Solution. Deploy Stolen Assets Recovery Initiative (StAR)<\/p>\n

——“The StAR is a partnership between the World Bank Group and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNIDOC) that supports international efforts to end safe havens for corrupt funds. It works with developing countries and financial centres to prevent the laundering of the proceeds of corruption and to facilitate more systematic and timely return of stolen assets.”—— http:\/\/www.sundaytimes.lk\/150322\/columns\/startling-disclosures-two-former-vips-have-us-1-billion-in-dubai-bank-141106.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Furthermore, Parallel, SLG may raise a Court Order to retrieve UAE Bank disclosures.<\/p>\n

On to the next…….Whilst the Top Fat Cats are playing their Power Games, who is keeping an eye on the National Security?<\/p>\n

With ISIS moving rapidly in Afghanistan – Iraq – Syria – Libya, it is alleged that several hundred European Muslim converts are now entered into EU.<\/p>\n

Parallel, The political unrest in Maldives is now being planned by ISIS to make their next move, most likely with LTTE, with the objective of targeting entry into Sri Lanka. If & when this occurs, which country will help Maldives to combat ISIS? ……India? …..Sri Lanka? ……Any other options<\/p>\n

Some of my friends who follow LankaWeb, expressed their interest to know the newest Power Struggle between My3 & RW.<\/p>\n

The Executive Presidential powers on Defense, Finance, over Parliament and forecast on desperate actions RW might get up to if a sudden terrorist movement erupts!<\/p>\n

Right now the current government acts like a Headless Chicken as well as a Triple Headed Donkey!<\/p>\n

Should LTTE-ISIS enters into the fray, it is very likely that the forth coming Parliamentary elections might be postponed indefinitely, since that will give RW the opportunity to extend his tenure.\u00a0 This might open opportunity to Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka to move-in with a military option!<\/p>\n

Dont laugh!<\/p>\n

To address a few points-;<\/p>\n

March 22nd, 2015 at 5:03 amRe UPFRONT Payment:<\/p>\n

Yes, it was demanded by Sri Lanka representative, who claimed that a UNP Parliamentarian fronted the political maneuverings with government decision makers, demanded the upfront-payment. This person is now appointed as Deputy Minister!<\/p>\n

Independent Says:<\/p>\n

March 22nd, 2015 at 5:25 amYou remember correctly!<\/p>\n

With you Prof in all you state above, except for the State religion bit. Religion & State do not mix well.<\/p>\n

Fran – As a Catholic myself, I have an open philosophy. Sri Lanka being a majority Buddhist country, and in my opinion, generally Buddhist followers have maintained peace, it is better to have harmony, with multi-Faith tolerance, than to have an American style No Creed.<\/p>\n

Cerberus Says:<\/p>\n

March 20th, 2015 at 8:07 amYou have made valid points.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo Says:<\/p>\n

March 20th, 2015 at 2:09 pmYou express doubts about both MS & MR ignoring the points listed.<\/p>\n

In politics, U-turns are a way of life. MR has hopefully learnt a lesson.<\/p>\n

However, regarding a possible or potential Coup-de-Etat, does Sri Lanka got any potential Leader, who will take care of the Till?<\/p>\n

You dont mean the newly elevated Field Marshall (?) Sarath Fonseka might be a Candidate? ……. I reserve my comments.<\/p>\n
