I thank @elonmusk for enabling Starlink satellite internet access for all Sri Lankans. This marks a significant step forward in the digital transformation of our nation.
I look forward to meeting Elon soon to explore further advancements for Sri Lanka’s digital future.
War has been chosen by Pakistan when they had an opportunity to keep quiet.
They have escalated to save it’s terrorist assets, speaks so much about them.
Our forces will reply in the most appropriate manner, a manner Pakistan will never forget.
Near 320+ "Red Flagged" containers have been released without any inspections by #LKA Customs dept.
Red Flag is RED ALERT. It's stamped on any consignment by the SriLanka Customs officials based on their career experiences and the past practices of importers, exporters & the country of origin, etc.
Hence, "Red Flagged" containers are mandatorily meant for scan and physical examinations.
The primary respondents are the SLCustoms and #GoSL, the government of the day!

The statement made by Prime Minister @Dr_HariniA is false and misleading on the state sector salary’s.
The previous Govt of @RW_SRILANKA took all the necessary steps in accordance with the procedures to approve the salary increments for the state sector employees from January 2025.
The approval of the Cabinet was granted to appoint a committee and to evaluate the state sector and the salary increments in May 2024. The Comiteee met with trade unions and stakeholders to discuss the state sector issues. The comiteee recommendations were handed over to the President and was presented to the cabinet and approved in August 2024.
In August 2024, the Cabinet granted approval to incorporate the recommendations in the 2025 Budget proposals and allocate the necessary funds.
The comiteee comprised officials from the treasury, budget department, management services and other necessary stakeholders.

I commenced the Parliament election campaign in the Matara District with the campaign coordination discussions with electorate and local council area coordinators of the Matara District and the divisional coordinators of the Devinuwara electorate.
It’s a challenging election for my self and our coalition with the results of the Presidential election, but I will be leading the Matara District coalition team contesting under the Gas cylinder symbol, to elect a strong Parliament of policy makers that supports the continuation of the economic reforms, growth and stability.
