Recently 🇱🇰Sri Lankans living in 🇦🇺Australia launched a petition requesting Minister of Immigration @andrewjgiles to prohibit the performance of singer Iraj in Australia.

In 48 hours the petition has gathered 3000+ signatures. @SenatorWong 1/
@RehanJayawick@sjbsrilanka@sajithpremadasa Great work! Hope it moves forward without stagnation and negotiations with the big wig MNCs involved. On another note why hasn't SJB done the same about the Colombo Port City ? Have you seen the report by @Hemanthawithana. It is far worse !

I've been following @Mike_Affinity's tweets and other information about meals for school children and I have something to say, as a journalist who has covered this story. #SriLanka
Things are complicated:
23 March: #SriLanka president defends sale of state-owned companies, says "the state has no business engaging in business.”
21 April: #SriLanka govt signs deal with Chinese state-owned company to build new port logistics hub.

@welikalaa asanga ⬆️ 🐣 of grandiose posturing made me 💭
ever read Marx+Lenin? if so, you would know Lenin wrote about imperialism
... and not Marx (never uses the term in fact) 🙄
and so no NPP ain't Marxist-Leninist agit-prop

@DonKula6 #Wackspear mayb simplified! 🤯🥵
2 alternate ways of thinking about rights that led critics astray on first tweet; is demonstrated here once more. The 2 defined Indian gurus (followed) have killed the concept of democratic systems/principles in SA today
First tweet missing!
This right here, the condescending response of @welikalaa is typical of a few from 'educated' segment, who believe their intellect & knowledge is the answer to all.
You are no better than #Ranil. He uses his legal knowledge to quell and you use your eloquent english expertise!
Why? Don’t need the whole country becoming a litigious bunch of legalistic rights claimants. What we need is the restoration of civics (aka citizenship) education in schools. A republic needs citizens, institutions, and virtues; not so much more rights, courts, and activists.
Our own SriLankan #Wackspear simplified:
As much as this story fits the style of political communication that is unique to Marxism-Leninism, known as "agitprop," it shows how the Left has made our voters act like children.
@nupogodilk 😉😉😉🤣😂
@anuruddha_lka Have you heard about @Faktabaari from Finland @anuruddha_lka ?
The FactBar started by Finnish educators @Kari_Kivinen et al, has been involved in the creation of the European Facts4All online course (MOOC) for primary and secondary school teachers to tackle disinformation. 1/
Thanks @anuruddha_lka from #SriLanka for having started the debate on revision of the curriculum of #SriLanka's education system. Here is a 🧵 on pedagogical material & initiatives done by the EU on promoting #criticalthinkingskills. Yes, the 🇫🇮 Finns are the pioneers here.💚👇🏾

Once again I say.. even your wife can teach you a trick or 2!
Maybe you are just a part or the same band wagon! Potato, patata
Kill the farm with your words
Belittle the farm with slanders
Non will budge the farm from its stance of thee, little minion!
For someone who seems to be building a political career, sadly you seem to lack the finesse, diplomacy and 'advanced intellect'.
Quite foolish 1 would add, to tout your erudition!
You hide behind your linguistic skills.
Consult Sara @PSaravanamuttu for the #artofdelivery!
Bar Council of England & Wales hopes #Lka P'ment would consider
▪︎ Appropriateness of moves for a P'ment Committee to question SC judges on court order to release election funds
▪︎ Whether it's ever right to encourage disobedience of court orders ⬇️
