Sri Lanka must stop wasting time trying to “verify” motor capacity locally without proper accreditation facilities. The logical step is to rely on internationally recognized certifications. BYD isn’t just another carmaker—it’s China’s No.1 EV manufacturer. Mishandling this issue through Customs bureaucracy could create a serious crisis. The government must act wisely, not blindly.
Grateful to @HarshadeSilvaMP for speaking up on an issue others choose to ignore.
@numberslka These kinds of social welfare programs are an utter waste of public funds. They actually make people poorer, because when most people get money without working, they never bother to work at all.

1.74M families now receive Aswesuma, - about 1/3 of 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka. Govt plans to further expand it. But where is the urgency to cut it from those who no longer need it?
Nothing kills a society faster than turning work into a burden & welfare in to a carrier.

@elonmusk It's such a waste of USA taxpayers' money. Even any sri lanka didn't get any benefits out of it other than small group of NGO and their families.

I always believed the NPP had a strong chance of winning, but the results from the North and East have truly exceeded expectations. This outcome is crucial for the NPP, even more so than results from any other province.
The result from Jaffna is particularly inspiring—it demonstrates to the world that Sri Lankans, regardless of region or background, are coming together for a shared cause. This united movement is a stand against corruption and a call for a brighter future.
@jinath Good move, Jinath! But why not investigate the current SJB MPs? I'd bet 80% can't explain their sources of assets and income. It's time to dig deeper.
“We stepped forward when Sri Lanka was facing a very deep economic crisis, and frankly, when no one else did. I’m very glad we did it, and we did it in a timely and substantial manner. We provided 4.5 billion dollars in effective support.” India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar
@Dailymirror_SL They didn't support him when it mattered, but now that he's won, they're rushing to back him for their own selfish reasons. Typical cheap politics.
