@digibank @dbs_care Thank you. Much appreciated.

@dbsbank I got confirmation that my bank account was opened on 11th October. However, I have not received my card as of yet. I’ve emailed DBS several times, but I have not received a response as of yet. Sigh 😅

[Mahishaa Balraj @Mahi_shaa]

@dbsbank @digibank This is for DBS Singapore. Would appreciate some support for this issue.

MORE QUEUE DEATHS REPORTED

A 59 year old man died in a fuel queue at Kinniya.

Another 64 year old man died in a queue at a filling station at Pelawatte, Matugama.

So far more than 14 people have lost their lives standing in line for basic necessities in #SriLanka

This outcome is only evident and proof of who made the better DEALS.

Telling them over and over again to sit - only to largely be ignored; asking them if they can wait until the votes are counted to eat...
God what a Parliament.

[Gayani Hurulle @gayanihurulle]

Not the biggest of our issues today, but why are women in Parliament called Hon. Ms/Mrs. xx while men are simply Hon. xy?

I think I played hide and seek better as a child.

President @GotabayaR has emailed his signed letter of resignation to the Speaker from Singapore. The Speaker however wants to see the original signature. The original will be brought to Colombo from Singapore in the next available flight by a diplomatic officer.via @TimesOnlineLK

Gentle reminder on the IMF - A key requirement to move forward is an interim budget, originally supposed to come in April/May.

Where did that go? Why would FM RW delay one of the most key steps to move forward with economic recovery?

@benislos When have politicians in our country ever stepped up and acted in the interests of the people, upheld democracy? One might say you’re asking for too much. We wouldn’t be in this mess / facing this crisis if they had done so in the first place.

[Mahishaa Balraj @Mahi_shaa]

@PSaravanamuttu This comment appears to be tone deaf to what the people of Sri Lanka are demanding and continue to demand by means of peaceful protest.

As a crying direct witness to the burning of Jaffna public library I have the same tragic feeling when I heard about the burning of RW’s house with so many highly valuable books which would have been a treasure of reference to several generations to come.

@GotabayaR Gota will go home only on 13th July.
I will believe it when it happens. But just go home already. People can’t make it any clearer.

@SabraZahid It'll get even better - shut down internet.

@dialoglk did not accept our RTI request on the basis that "Dialog is not such a public authority to which the RTI Act applies".

However, S.43(g) of the RTI Act says a public authority includes “private entities …carrying out “public function”. We have appealed this decision3/4

🧵 with an update on the Right to Information applications we filed with Sri Lankan Internet Service Providers @SriLankaTelecom and @dialoglk on the directions they received by @TRCSL to restrict social media in #SriLanka on 3rd April 2022 1/4

[Hashtag Generation @generation_sl]

These came on top of our previous RTI to @TRCSL, the result of which too, we have already appealed. 4/4

[Suren Fernando @SurenFernando]

The new PM, who pledged support to the NCM against President, voted against it even being taken up for debate today???

අනුන්ගේ වැරදි අඩුපාඩු මත වෛරය ක්‍රෝධය පැතිරවීමක් නොකර යුක්තිය සහ සාධාර��ය වෙනුවෙන් පෙනීසිටිමු.

Lets stand for justice and fairness without spreading hatred and anger

வெறுப்பையும் கோபத்தையும் விதைக்காம��் நீதிக்காகவும் நியாயத்திற்காகவும் எழுந்து நிற்போம்.
