Do you know how three wheelers came to Sri Lanka and when ? My driver who is an ardent UNP supported who was working closely with Siri Kotha tells\u00a0 me that first Three Wheeler ( Tuk Tuk ) was brought to Sri Lank by UNP paid by Sri Kotha ( party office of UNP)<\/p>\n

I vehemently protest against the party leader and \u00a0the youth leader of the party travelling in this undesirable mode of transport, thus promoting tuk tuk \u00a0more and more .<\/p>\n

I wonder whether party will take steps to further promote membership drive by\u00a0 giving a tuk tuk as an\u00a0 incentive like many companies promote their products by offering rice cookers ,hair dryers etc !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am one of the ardent supporter of anti-tuk tuk campaign\u00a0 and a supporter Yahaplanaya and UNP ,I always advocate the idea of stopping the \u00a0importing of three wheelers to this country .One of the main reason is that Tuk Tuks is the main mode of transporting\u00a0 and \u00a0muling of drugs in Sri Lanka and taking away our young productive \u00a0labour force .They are also a menace in the streets as most of the traffic violations are done by Tuk Tuks<\/p>\n

One of the ideas for politicians and Governor of Central Banks should promote\u00a0 is to prohibit further importation of three wheelers to Sri Lanka if they intend to increase national productivity by making more and more young people are available\u00a0 to work in productive areas.<\/p>\n

Surely reduction of three wheelers in Sri Lankan roads will reduce fuel consumption as we will have less traffic jams and also emission of C02 .<\/p>\n

Yesterday I saw another article where our president locked up some of his ministers in the Matara newly opened office of the agency which monitors illegal ( legal as well)\u00a0 liquor trade .<\/p>\n

Similarly ,Prime Minster should have travelled \u00a0in a bullock cart to promote the membership drive and get ministers to pull the cart in turns instead of bulls .( parden me for this proposal not all ministers can be called Bulls other than may be called some of them as stud bulls !)<\/p>\n

God save Sri Lanka from Tuk Tuk\u2019s<\/p>\n
