Dr Sarath Obeysekera<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Every day I read news\u00a0 headlines of all the National news papers about\u00a0 making incidents in FCID located in BMICH and legal news about Kaduwela\u00a0 Courts and Traffic congestions in Welikada due to movements of some politicians and their poor little rich kids who have been bullied by the political hopper eating and black coffee drinking so called one time political allies .<\/p>\n

I hardly read any business news other than diminishing fitch rating of banks from AA to BB ika etc of finance companies\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

We should like to read about realization \/materialization of BOI PROJECTS such\u00a0 as the construction of Volkswagen factory and steps taken to provide employment to one million unemployed youths<\/p>\n

We read about Kidney failures but nothing much about liver failures which go unnoticed due to extremely high consumption of ethyl alcohol and liquor and beer\u00a0 made of rice in many refineries in Wayamba owned by some politicians<\/p>\n

Some lawyers appearing in their customary black coats to get bails to accused (\u00a0 claimed by them as falsely accused ) making big tax free money paid underhand and doctors fighting for more business in replacing kidneys and students blocking evening traffic and inhaling traffic fumes thus increasing chances of lung failures so that state can appoint another Task Force to solve lung problems of youths ,all these things are in national papers .<\/p>\n

I suggest that the government should build a conveyor belt from Welikada to Kaduwela specifically for the use of victims of purported crimes of owning and ( Unsporty ) TV channels to get their bails refused daily .<\/p>\n

I AM DYING TO SEE MORE NEWS ABOUT HAMBANTOTA WHICH WAS IN NEWS RECENTLY FOR PATRONISING A LARGE CRUISE ARRIVING WITH LARGE NUMBER OF MILLIONAIRES WAITING TO BE TAKEN TO SAFARI\u2019S<\/p>\n

I want to see how\u00a0 the wizards of development reactivate the Request for Proposals ( RFP) \u2018s issued for Hambantota harbour area where contracts were signed to establish many industries<\/p>\n

Now grandiose plan to develop bunkering business which was run and\u00a0 ruined by previous SLPA big wigs by attracting big super tankers to patronize Hambantota and make Sri Lanka \u2013one of the best shipping hubs in the world!<\/p>\n

What we see everywhere is Non Activity and complain about it .I would like to see all industrialists and financial institutions get together and initiate action plan without depending on the state funds to develop Hambantota and Jaffna so that all Sri Lankans benefit from the development<\/p>\n

Oil Refinery ,Oil tank farm ,Ship building yard ,Industrial parks for processing food items for export , a hub for exporting agricultural products to Middleast ( better than exporting poor malnourished woman to be re-exported back with illegitimate children ) should be established in a program in a\u00a0 high gear .<\/p>\n

I am again reiterating that Harward ,Sorborne and MIT cannot do anything remotely unless we Sri Lankans have a wish to see the growth of this beautiful country\u00a0 (with some ugly politicians )<\/p>\n

We are running out of time and people are waiting to explode .<\/p>\n

Let us\u00a0 do something\u00a0 to make the lives of next generation much more happier and full of hopes <\/strong><\/p>\n
