🚨 POTENTIAL SCAM ALERT: Solo Female Passengers Beware! 🚨

A "possible" scam has been targeting solo female passengers recently. The driver accepts the @Uber ride, enters the PIN, and then asks if you're paying by cash or card. (1/5)

My colleague Dr. Primal who is a US based expert on Data Privacy at UC Berkeley, just shared this update on the eTraffic App on LinkedIn ⬇️

Look at Singapore and learn how they have absorbed the best talent to their govt. Then you’ll have the top talent in the country coming and working for you because they don’t have to worry about how to pay their rent and bills

[Umesh Moramudali @UmeshMoramudali]

President brag about people working freely for the government.That’s a big problem. If you want to have strong state machinery, you need to pay people well. That’s how you attract top talent to public service.That’s the sustainable way, not getting bunch of businessmen to run gov

It’s not just resource disparity. It’s also about popular school old boy/old girl tag having lot of weight in getting a job, promotion etc. Prejudices about rural schools are sometimes quite intriguing.

It’s all on top of the judgments for not being fluent in English.

56% of the voters and 52% of the population are women. So it is important to understand how much the candidates have understood the issues faced by women and what they intend to do to address those issues. Check out my article on the @Diplomat_APAC https://t.co/VGlMVvBHPJ

#srilanka must be the only country where you pay for private sector healthcare services and still have to spend hours waiting for doctors to come in and take patients on time because their egos are such that they have no respect for the time of their patients @Nawalokahospitl

‼️‼️HUGE NEWS on the asset declarations front! The asset declarations of over a 100 top officials, including of Pres. @RW_UNP just became publicly accessible on the https://t.co/HY7Q4FSqD9 webpage! Go take a look.

However, so much information is unnecessarily REMOVED. #lka(1/5)

[Harini Fernando @harini_fdo]

This stretch along Galleface green has been closed for a month now to celebrate the “Independence Day.” The removal of the stage should’ve been done in one day but even a week after celebrations, it’s still there. The inefficiency of this country is next level! #srilanka

@dakki_16 Congratulations!

The reality for many of us from developing countries who want to study in our dream schools but unable to do so without a scholarship.

Not much of a difference in Sri Lanka

[Ruchi Gupta @guptar]

Too many young people in India have a conception of "public policy" as some sort of a cushy opportunity to pontificate without needing to understand India or her people

What’s left is for Ranil to give him a ministry.

Danushka Gunathilaka's case: Nobody knows the identity of the (alleged) victim. The media should refrain from identifying victims of sexual offenses. Sri Lankan media could learn a thing or two (from Australian media).

[Marlon Ariyasinghe @MarlonAriy]

From prescribing #SexEd in schools to determining teachers’ dress code, the #සංඝපාතාලය is a curse.

This is in addition to decades of hate mongering, propagating communalism, and interfering in governance.

They have not only ruined #Buddhism but this country as well.

No one tells you about the immense anxiety of living away from Sri Lanka amidst all that’s occurring within the state, realising you routinely wake up with fear, and unsure of what the next day will bring. It’s a horrid feeling. #SriLankaCrisis #EconomicCrisisLK #SriLankaProtests
