Once they approach they call you Sir\u201d or Madam  irrespective of your car or your attire and politely ( sometimes politeness does not come from their heart if you are a foreigner with a beard ) and yet talk to you calmly ,explain the rules of law ,Then they will tell you that you will have to pay a penalty or you will be charged .Unless you are absolutely sure that you have not violated any law you have no chance of talking him out not to charge you argue that he is at fault.<\/p>\n<p>Their black Uniform in Winter and white shirt in summer does not give you shivers.You can stop them and\u00a0 ask a road way and they will almost salute you .I do not say that the capitalist police is the best in world but ,I can assure that that they are trained to handle public\u00a0 in a professional manner .Even if you are\u00a0 the Price of Wales law ,is equal .<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-62262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sarath11011703.jpg\" alt=\"sarath11011703\" width=\"270\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I remember few years back, there was a traffic policeman near Liberty Junction who keeps smiling all the time and sometime salute you .But today we have young cops who do not know how to smile or to be polite .When they stop you they call you Mister\u201d without knowing that word mister  can only be used only as a prefix to your surname.<\/p>\n<p>They will then ask you where are you going ? or where are you coming from ?!! These questions seem absurd ,because some people may not give the correct answer in the \u00a0if they are\u00a0 on an illegal mission !<\/p>\n<p>In big corporate entities, \u00a0talk about Rebranding\u201d to uplift the marketability of their products .Similarly we may have to use some famous cricketers ( some of them appear in advertisements o sausage selling ! which is very unhealthy ) \u00a0\u00a0and put get them to wear a police uniform and advertise Police\u00a0 using them in a very hilarious act or some other attractive manner .<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-62263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sarath11011702.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sarath11011702.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sarath11011702-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sarath11011702-768x196.jpg 768w\" alt=\"sarath11011702\" width=\"682\" height=\"174\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We need to change the minds of the people that Police is  bad\u201d I even suggest that when there are demonstrations they should use Navy or Army ( of course last\u00a0 episode\u00a0 in Hambantota was a debacle as the Navy Commander like to squeeze the chin of a\u00a0 journalist ( may be he likes squeezing chins like we do to small kids!)<\/p>\n<p>And yet Army and Navy is more respected by the people (except in Rathupaswela and in Hambnatota ) hence they can control crowds better ?<\/p>\n<p>My opinion is that changing name to Sri Lanka Police  did not help .We need to give a complete new name like  Rajapurusha\u201d !!!!!!!

colour of uniform form Khaki\u201d to a much pleasant colour after holding a referendum to get the best colour people like then to wear ( I suggest pink ! because DIG gave the impression that he is more feminine because he cried recently at a public gathering\u00a0 )<\/p>\n<p>Last resort for the time being may be to give them Pink Uniforms and Pink Masks they were at traffic

Latter describe or suggest what is good or bad for the country. This is exactly that is happening in the Muslim world where they are tearing themselves apart because their own faith is being divided among themselves like a business. This has made way to the extreme form of Wahhabism. Innocent Muslims have no time or freedom to follow various sects in their countries as they have to work hard to make a living and it is the outsiders who are settled abroad have brought doom and destruction.<br \/>\nSyria is a good example of a progressive modern country where there was intermarriage between the Christians and Muslims,inter marriage between the two sects of the Muslims.<br \/>\nInternational meddlers who are settled abroad have made the atmosphere acidic that is leading to inner fighting even in a family. While they are divided among themselves that division is further worsened by arming the factions that was created. This arming seems to be done by the western countries. There was an ulterior motive for Chaos in Syria and that was averted by the Russians.This is making the Western countries and their agents desperate. They are now putting preassure on Russia because they are scared of the new dawan,where Turky,Iran and Russia are getting together to create lasting peace which is not in the interest the out side trouble makers. They are getting so desperate that settlement is getting ever so closer, think the Israelis have bombed a Syrian special services Air base.<br \/>\nMy advise to patriots living abroad is to strive for reasons that unite our country, strive for good governance that is in line with that is practised in UK,even if we have to bring them to SL to guide us.<br \/>\nOne must observe how progressive and erect the developed world is.They show no tolerance to industries that break their laws like US prosecuting The major car companies and now France prosecuting Renault,South Korea impeaching the sitting President and Perhaps Trump could be next.<br \/>\nDo you honestly think that this will ever happen in or Darmadeepaya?<br \/>\nWe must not follow Cyprus where another religious idiot,Makarious brought the down fall of that island where the eventual folly was the division of the country.<br \/>\nThe way we are going about,Sri Lanka is friendless because our leaders since the so called independence exploited the country, made money that is stashed abroad while robbing the hard working tax man,putting the country into further debt. This will bring eventual resentment among the people leading into more trouble that would allow India to play local politics to please the TN voters that would bring eventual doom to the innocent Sinhalese. Then who will come to our rescue? Our leaders are good in targeting what is left among the Sinhalese. Examples are. We were the biggest land owners in the country and that was destroyed by the people like Hector Kobbekadwa by the land reform act,they took our busses owned by Sinhalese, They took our Dry Fish shops by TB Illagratne and made it in to Co OP,a den of thieves.I know one dry fish Mudalali(from Mathara) who had his shop in Colombo street Kandy took his life.Then the old powerful and the flagship of the Sinhalese business the Clylinco was nearly destroyed in early 60s by confiscating most of their business,the life policies by Felix Dias B to form the Insurance corporation. And the final blow to that company was to undermine that company recently where the people pulled out their deposits, where the rule of the day for our such finance companies to run a Ponzi like schemes, where Cantal bank never did their job, which was very convenient for some notorious people to asset strip the company and further insult the Chairman by putting him on remand. We Sinhalese are friendless and who need enemies when that is among us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Sarath Obeysekera I\u00a0wrote about it sometime back.Not only colour\u00a0 we need to do a full make over and change the name to Rajapurusha\u201d !!!!!!
