We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of Life is when men are afraid of the light.\u201d – \u2015\u00a0Plato<\/strong><\/a>–<\/p>\n

The smartest fish are still in the sea.\u201d -\u2015\u00a0Matshona Dhliwayo<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

You become a Prisoner if you are caught and found guilty of breaking the law.\u00a0 Those who break the law and still not caught, are moving in the society\u00a0 as law abiding citizens\u201d- Dr W S Karunaratne- Professor of Buddhist Philosophy.<\/p>\n

In whichever way we interpret, the Arjun Mahendran\u2019s Bond Scam will generate sufficient smell throughout the world, to tarnish the image of Sri Lanka. The officials of the Government of Singapore have already expressed their shock and dismay on the behaviour of one of its citizens in a foreign country.\u00a0 There is no room whatsoever in Singapore for illegal activities such as the Sri Lankan Bond Scam.<\/p>\n

The Cope Committee headed by its Chairman JVP MP Mr Sunil Hadunhetti\u00a0 read out the recommendations into the Bond Scam\u00a0 in the Parliament on 28 October, 2016<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These recommendations were agreed upon by all 26 members of the Committee.<\/p>\n

Giving her evidence before the Presidential Royal Commission into the Bond Scam, the Government Printer Gangani Kalpana Liyanage has said today ( 27 Feb. 2017) that the Notification to publish the Gazette on the subject matter was received\u00a0 by the Government Printer in December 2016<\/strong> from the Public Debt Department of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

The Cope Committee could not find out these vital\u00a0 facts as the Gazette was not available in October 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The crooks have planned to involve the President Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0\u00a0 for giving his ostensible authority for the scam, when they used a post-dated timing for the publication of the Gazette\u00a0 to December 2016<\/strong>,\u00a0 using the name of Mr Mahinda Rajapakse, who was not the Minister of Finance in January 2015<\/strong>.\u00a0 This has been very smart foot work by the team of crooks, waiting until the conclusion of Cope Committee Report.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thieves are always the most careful of their purses.\u201d
