Chameera is just throwing the ball hoping something would happen! Really poor death bowling from him! Just when SL were right on top! Those four 4's will come back to haunt them!

Bizwire : Liberty Lands & Developments (LLD) has acquired the remaining shares of Scope Cinemas, securing full ownership of the cinema chain as part of its broader group restructuring and long-term strategic direction.

The acquisition marks a significant step in LLD’s efforts to consolidate its entertainment portfolio and strengthen its commitment to delivering world-class cinema experiences, while enhancing operational alignment. With Scope Cinemas now fully under its ownership, the group is positioned to drive greater cohesion across its businesses while reinforcing its core brand promise of creating memorable experiences that “put a smile on everyone’s face.”

As part of this transition, Mr. Thushan Rangana Meenanage will step down from his role as Chief Executive Officer and Director of Scope Cinemas, as well as from his roles across other affiliate companies, effective 31st March. His departure reflects a leadership transition aligned with the group’s evolving strategic priorities.

Mr. Naveed Cader has been appointed Interim CEO of Scope Cinemas with immediate effect, while continuing in his capacity as Executive Chairman. His appointment ensures continuity in leadership while supporting the company’s next phase of growth and transformation.

LLD operates a diversified portfolio spanning entertainment, hospitality, real estate, and food and beverage. Its key subsidiaries include Scope Cinemas and Food Studio, while the group also holds strategic stakes in Alhambra Hotels and Cine Digital.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Cader stated, “This transition is part of a broader group restructuring initiative designed to strengthen alignment across our businesses and position Scope Cinemas for its next phase of growth. Our focus remains on building a resilient, future-ready organization while continuing to deliver exceptional cinema experiences to our audiences.”

Scope Cinemas continues to play a leading role in shaping Sri Lanka’s cinema landscape, with a consistent focus on elevating audience experiences. The acquisition reflects LLD’s confidence in the long-term potential of the entertainment sector and reinforces its direction towards building a more integrated and forward-looking business.

Random rant. Context: in a summit.
Your companies spent a lot of money to send you to a summit to LEARN, it would really help if you stop chit chatting. The audio is already so bad. It’s almost inaudible. And you’re making it worse. Thank you.

Chaos at C Block – SL vs BAN T20I - A Thread 🧵

Attended yesterday's T20I between #SLvBAN at the Premadasa Stadium. Chose C Block – BIG MISTAKE.

What we witnessed was total chaos. This isn’t mismanagement – it’s criminal negligence.
Here’s what went down 👇

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

@ChediJitendra I know you’re getting one.

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

@cathaypacific Thank you @cathaypacific for not turning a blind eye on this unfortunate experience. We may not know the name of your home office rep who helped us, but she went above and beyond her duties to assist us. We commend your fast action and the show of empathy to our situation.

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

@cathaypacific How can a well-reputed brand let customers bear the brunt of staff negligence and offer no solution? Trust is earned, not guaranteed. Actions like this undermine the very reason people choose you. #CustomerExperience #BrandTrust"

[Chedi Jitendra @ChediJitendra]

@CathayPacific @cathaypacifichk My fiancé and I are STRANDED in Cebu, Philippines, because I was denied boarding due to lacking a transit visa for Hong Kong. I am a Sri Lankan passport holder, and your team in Sri Lanka never informed me of this requirement when I departed.

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

UPDATE: @cathaypacific HK Head Office has reached out to us and assisted us in getting back to Sri Lanka. Thank you for taking accountability and showing empathy to the situation we were in. We hope that measures have been taken to ensure this does not happen to other customers.

Hey @facebook, @instagram, what is the point of having a "report a page/post" option on your platforms if clearly fake and harassing accounts are unchecked by your AI bots, which then claim they don't violate community standards? And why are there zero options to contact a human?

[Chedi Jitendra @ChediJitendra]

What began as a vision with @rikaz23 to redefine linen fashion in Sri Lanka is now real. HANA Clothing has launched its first flagship store, a key milestone in our journey.

The Rajapaksas just don’t get it, do they? Another day, another scandal! You’d think with all the scrutiny they’re uder, they’d at least try to act like civilized members of society. But no, their underdeveloped sense of accountability shines through yet again. #lka #SriLanka

[Chedi Jitendra @ChediJitendra]

Manchester United is like a stubborn old engine—some days it roars to life and gets us to our destination, and other days it just sits there coughing, spluttering, and reminding us why we should’ve walked instead.

@cathaypacific violating @discoverhk travel guidelines and leaving the customer to face the consequences of their mistake with no sense of empathy. They simply did not care how or when the customer could go back home. Is this how a leading airline treats its customers?

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

@cathaypacific We have been talking to multiple reps from your team. However, no one seems to understand that we are in this predicament because of your ground staff's negligence. Kudos to your social media team for responding faster than your CS.

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

@cathaypacific for a reputable airline, its extremely disappointing that you let your customers suffer the consequences of your ground staff’s mistake. And your robot customer service reps are extremely unhelpful.

[Chedi Jitendra @ChediJitendra]

The team looks different; the personalities look different, and the leaders on the pitch look different! #MUFC suddenly looks like a team that can score goals. #Amorim ball loading... #MUNLEI Hope he keeps @RvN1776. Another game teaching @chassycortes the United Way. ✅

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

@UtdFaithfuls Fact!

[Chassy Cortes @chassycortes]

Today’s game plan was great, it’s the players that couldn’t pull through. Whether it’s true that they can’t work with ETH, their allegiance is to the fans. They’re getting paid thousands of pounds per week, at this rate, they should pay their fans to watch them play. #WHUMUN

@ManUtd players should pay their fans to watch them play.
