@Windows @seniinthebox This is so wholesome!!!!!

@ComBank_LK Baffles me how @ComBank_LK wins these awards when its the 2nd time this week their systems are down. Worst is that they expect customers to take the primitive road of calling their customer care hotline to be kept on hold for long to find that their systems are down indefinitely.

Secure land tenure is a pragmatic and urgent way of responding to the climate crisis. @Oxfam new report shows how land ownership helps communities to overcome loss and damage and increase climate resistance

@ComBank_LK This is such a joke. @ComBank_LK 's online banking system has been down for almost 3 hours on a monday morning. With regular technical glitches like this, who gives this bank awards? Baffles me what selection criteria they have to give these rankings

[Rashmini @rashminidesilva]

@ComBank_LK at the height of hypocrisy on making banking simple. Users can't access online banking accounts for 2 hours and counting. Emails don't get responded to, called the hotline to find out that they don't accept complaints via phone. Who gives these banks awards I say? 🐒

Dining at Upali’s and complaining about prices is like supporting the SLPP and complaining about corruption, economic failure, etc.

@Ramesh94137221 @minalnaomi And getting sexually harassed is not bad for her health and wellbeing. It is this kind of blinded thinking which REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM which has dragged this country to the state it is in. The audacity to mansplain above everything.
