🧵 Island Bureaucracy 1/9
Waiting to get our daughter's birth certificate, I noticed some things about the procedural aspects and the service offered.
There is a big difference in how they treat certain individuals over others.
The service given defers vastly.
State-owned #lka#Ceypetco spends LKR 400m in July 2022 to pay staff "overtime" - even tho there were no #petroleum stocks for most of the month says @arunapuwath July 24. Staff told to report to work only 3 days/wk; they turned up on other days & claimed overtime! Attn @charith9
I mean, this goes to the heart of the problem really. When you don't have values yourself, how to elect a leader with values? This twat literally says Gotabaya has the right to steal from the country bc he ended the war. Where do you go from here?
Somewhere in 🇬🇧 a man who believed in this lot, stood by them, challenged them and stretched them to their limits and made them belive when no one else did, would be mighty proud seeing what they are achieving.Thank you @Mickeyarthurcr1 🇱🇰 owes you!! #CricketTwitter#SLvAUS
The Mayor of Moratuwa takes Eight Bus loads of Municipal Council Staff for a rally outside Temple Trees to prevent the resignation of @PresRajapaksa. Use of State Staff for political propaganda is an offense. They may apply for leave,but who approved leave for 8 bus loads of ppl?
What we are seeing now on Galle Road is not a clash between protestors and counter protestors. This is an organised attack on peaceful protestors by thugs and a failure of the State to protect its citizens' right to peaceful protest.
Reliably learn police HQ is looking for white Toyota Land Cruiser V8 bearing registration CAS-1411, originally used by Zahran Hashim, registered to Cinnamon Grand bomber Insaf Ahmad Ibrahim, but last seen in the convoy of Sarath Weerasekara.

If anything lasting were to come out of this awesome peoples movement, let it be the humanization of politicians.
As citizens of #SriLanka we should always remember that
- Politicians are simply government servants. They are elected by the people, to work for the people.
Well done @AdaDerana_24@tvderana impressive dollar talk. Presenter needs a good beach party show with ISIS around. Who’s script is this? මොනාද බං මේ 💩 වැඩ? Protest එක අන්තවාදීන් එක්ක කරන beach party එකක් ලූ. TV Station එකත් විගණනය කරන්න වෙයි වගේ නේද?
The Shangri-La hotel was built on land on which the Sri Lanka Army HQ existed. While construction was on-going they discovered human skeletal remains in May 2017 but the story soon faded from public view & barely received a mention in mainstream media.
All this Mustangs nonsense about shirts and beards is beside the point. What is the most egregious thing about Ranil’s comment about Imtiaz? “Mamai meyava haduve deshapalanaye”. Therein lies the explanation for how the party that delivered Independence ended up with just one MP.
Everyday you learn something new. Here’s what I learned today. The nation’s first Test captain Bandula Warnapura studied initially at St. Peter’s before shifting to Nalanda during government takeover of schools. He played other sports too and particularly was good at basketball.
