Honoured to meet H.E. Badli Hisham Adam, High Commissioner of Malaysia to Sri Lanka, at the Malaysia National Day celebration at Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo (4 September).
The Sectoral Oversight Committee on Governance, Justice and Civil Protection has approved the Chief of Defence Staff (Repeal) Bill. The meeting was attended by the Defence Secretary and the Commanders of the three Armed Forces.
The Bill seeks to repeal the 2009 Act, as coordination of the three Armed Forces is now handled by the Ministry of Defence amid ongoing restructuring. It is scheduled for Second Reading in Parliament on 9 September.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the tragic loss of life following the devastating floods in Nepal. Sri Lanka stands ready to assist Nepal in rescue and clearance operations. As a nation still emerging from a deadly cyclone just 10 months ago, we share the grief of the Nepalese people. Sri Lanka joins me in expressing its deepest condolences to @OOP_Nepal, @PM_nepal_ and the people of Nepal. @ShahBalen
The government questioned the procedural irregularities in calling BASL to the parliament. What was the threat? This is a misrepresentation of the proceedings in parliament.
The opposition leader cannot call all MPs for meetings. BASL either doesn't know the parliamentary procedure or they're knowingly manipulating public perception.
