@Kalana_S @PhilipGAlston @UPeradeniya Would there be a recording for this? If so, how does one access it..? Cheers

@LawTechGadget @lilianedwards Perhaps I’m missing something that’s key...

[Rasika Mendis @Rasi_World]

@LawTechGadget @lilianedwards Why is this even a point of debate..?! 🤔

@MarianneDavid24 Today we seek a $500 billion loan from the “Suddha”... because we have done so very well with our proud history in tow...! 😳

Let’s hand it to Cuba; best health care, best health care professionals #righttohealth @WHO @UnitedNations

Cuban scientists yesterday as they found out that the vaccine they had been working on (Abdala) is 92.28% effective, among the highest in the world.

@AingkaranK An amazing health care system and health care professionals

@Welikumbura @RW_UNP Perhaps because he can’t afford to take many things for granted this time around. He needs to pull up his socks and try doing something constructive... in the best way possible. Everyone assumes he has come to a realization of this, I believe. Let’s hope so!

@SriLankaTweet @ashroxx @NewsfirstSL How sad is this..? 😕

@NCdeMel And a train system that badly needs an upgrade

[Rasika Mendis @Rasi_World]

@AingkaranK For a country with welfare structures, local-level agencies, and a (supposedly) pro-poor ethos, this is a crying shame! People are desperate, hungry, and left to rely on random acts of charity..!

Self declared #victimhood and an unsympathetic arbiter of Justice..! 😄

@WIPO Good work @Dilma @WIPO

*important or not

[Rasika Mendis @Rasi_World]

It’s probably a nice gesture to include Chinese in thanks to facilities donated (as in at the BMICH); but to not include Tamil in a plaque that has both English and Sinhala wording (whether the plaque be imported or not) is symptomatic of something deeply insensitive IMHO...

[Ranga Sirilal @rangaba]

Good thing the AG’s department adheres to the new language policy. Sinhala, English and Chinese and no Tamil again

[Rasika Mendis @Rasi_World]

@AthaudaDasuni Wish I had been this sophisticated when I was 23..! 😊 Happy birthday! 🎈
