Sri Lanka’s 🇱🇰 Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Act 2025 is one of the most shortsighted policies ever proposed. Here's why it's a terrible idea:

⭕️ Who’s affected?
Living former Presidents & widow:
• Mahinda Rajapaksa – 79
• Gotabaya Rajapaksa – 76
• Ranil Wickremesinghe – 76
• Maithripala Sirisena – 74
• Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga – 80
• Hema Premadasa (widow) – 89

⭕️ 🇱🇰 Life expectancy: 77.8 years
All are already well past 70 - several past 80.
From an actuarial standpoint, this so-called "burden" will naturally resolve itself within a few years. There is no long-term cost to justify the repeal.

⭕️ Yet, the bill completely strips away all benefits pension, staff, security previously provided under the 1986 Act.
Most democracies, regardless of political change, continue to offer modest support to former heads of state.
This move makes Sri Lanka look petty and vindictive on the global stage.

⭕️ Worse, it sets a dangerous precedent.
Rather than encouraging dignified retirement, it creates perverse incentives to:

• Stay in power longer
• Maximize personal gain while in office
• Secure corrupt deals before leaving

When no post-office dignity is guaranteed, the temptation to extract while in power increases.

⭕️ The repeal is also retroactive, impacting those who served under the previous legal framework.
This raises serious constitutional concerns.
Global legal norms discourage retroactively removing entitlements that were guaranteed at the time of service.

⭕️ If passed, Sri Lanka becomes an international outlier:
🇺🇸 US – pension, staff, lifelong security
🇮🇳 India – pension, residence, personal aides
Most democracies maintain respect and support for ex-leaders, regardless of politics.

⭕️ And what does the country gain in return?
• Tiny fiscal savings
• Major constitutional risk
• Damaged international reputation
• No real long-term benefit — age will take care of this "issue" naturally

⭕️ Bottom line:
This is not smart policy.
Not meaningful reform.
Just a populist stunt driven by short-term political gain.

Laws must be written with tomorrow in mind, not as punishment for yesterday.

This is how Sri Lankan military treat foreigners. Government oppression is very real and no more fundamental rights for the citizens.
