#Palestinians are sacrificing for the world to become a better place for all of us, including the #Nazis. I don't think many people understand this and I don't think the rest of us will ever pay back this debt to them🙏

@formfireglass @DocPriyamMD My late mother had it and I lived through the whole thing. It is traumatic for the entire family. Listen to this although this knowledge came too late to me...

@NewsWireLK If people are serious about it, should fly little higher and spray Silver Iodide into the clouds.

@Caatalystt Should have jumped to the left and away to avoid the possibility of being hit by another vehicle coming from behind. Not sure I would have followed my own advice under stress in a split second.

@Fahadnaimb @Brandt734664211 After a recent crash, people questioned as to why they dont't install cameras in the cockpit. An expert commented it involved lots of technical/ approval related issues. But they already have dozens in the cabin, not 1 in the cockpit?

@NewsWireLK This system will work perfectly in an ideal country.
I have many friends and relatives in western countries who suffer unnecessarily under similar systems.
May be the real intention is not stated here. May be this is a move comparable to the 'use organic fertilizer' thing.

The way these Japanese children learn traffic rules is extremely intuitive & straight to the point.

Good idea?

More than 1,000 people caught spitting betel and urinating inside the renovated Colombo Pettah Central Bus Stand have been made to clean the areas they dirtied.

The offenders, including several bus drivers and conductors, were identified through the terminal’s 24-hour CCTV surveillance system.

Over the past seven months, CCTV cameras have flagged 1,286 incidents, while 64 suspects linked to theft, property damage and other offences have been handed over to Police.

🇱🇰 Your Savings Earn Interest, But Bank Fees Eat It All

⭕ Savings accounts in Sri Lanka are reaching a point where many customers may effectively earn a negative return.

⭕ You deposit your money with the bank, The bank uses those funds to generate income, but the charges imposed on your account exceeds the interest you receive..

⭕ Customers may have to pay more than Rs. 1,000 annually for digital banking apps, Rs. 25 to Rs. 50 for transfers, debit card fees, account maintenance charges and other service fees.

⭕ On top of this, 10% withholding tax is deducted from the interest earned on deposits. (Goes to gov)

⭕ For customers with balances below Rs. 100,000, particularly those living from paycheque to paycheque, these charges can wipe out most or even all of the interest earned at the dismal rate of just 2% to 3%.

⭕ This is before even considering inflation, which further reduces the real value of both your savings and the interest you receive.

⭕ Sampath Bank the major culprit of the above practice recently increased the annual Sampath Vishwa fee from Rs. 900 to Rs. 1,200, an increase of more than 33%.

⭕ Many fee increases are introduced automatically, without specific approval from customers or a meaningful option to reject them while continuing to use essential banking services.

⭕ Digital banking reduces the bank’s dependence on branches, counters, paperwork and staff time. Customers are effectively performing much of the banking work themselves.

⭕ Charging customers more for using a lower-cost banking channel is difficult to justify, especially when banks already earn from deposits, loans, cards and transaction fees.

⭕ This practice also works against Sri Lanka’s efforts to promote digital payments, financial inclusion and reduced dependence on cash.

⭕ A banking app should be a basic account-access service, not a premium subscription. Banks increasingly appear to be treating digital banking apps as another source of revenue.

⭕ The Government and the Central Bank of Sri Lanka should intervene, improve transparency, require proper notice before fee increases and regulate excessive charges on basic banking services.

Your savings earn interest, but after taxes, inflation and bank charges, there may be little or nothing left for you.

If this is what they did while a white Norwegian tourist was watching, what happened when no one was?

July 1983. Eli Skarstein was on holiday in Colombo with her 15-year-old daughter. She watched a mob stop a minibus, pour petrol over it and hold the doors shut. Around twenty Tamils burned to death inside.

Colombo was still burning when they flew out. Women, children and the elderly slaughtered in the street.

What Skarstein saw was not the worst of it.

It was just one part that was witnessed.

🚨 Footage shows military selling produce from occupied Tamil land, contradicting parliament claim

Footage seen by the Tamil Guardian appears to show Sri Lankan military personnel selling large quantities of vegetables grown on military-occupied Tamil land to a Keells collection centre in Jaffna, directly contradicting claims the deputy defence minister made in parliament only last week.

The video shows soldiers transporting and handing over agricultural produce at the collection centre in Urumpirai, along the Palaly Road. It surfaced just days after the deputy defence minister, Aruna Jayasekara, rejected allegations that the military commercially exploits the land it occupies in the North-East, telling parliament that cultivation within military camps was carried out solely for the army's own consumption.

"Why should I care about privacy? I have nothing to hide".

We hear it every week.

Today, the company that builds software for law enforcement by mining your medical records just published a 22-point manifesto about "freedom" and "democracy".

This is why you should care.
