He was Prime Minister six times. Been in and around government since 1977. When he finally got a mandate through Yahapalanaya, instead of prosecuting crime (which was what the people wanted), he protected his cronies, and when he became President… he did the same.
Set aside that he’s credibly accused of heinous acts at Batalanda, which alone is disqualifying. His supporters already made peace with that... their moral rot is clear and evident.
No one with this past should ever be anywhere near the kind of power the Executive Presidency gives... which was my argument against GR when he was contesting too.
This romanticising of a man who’s failed upwards his entire career, carried by sycophants, insulated by privilege, and forgiven for every betrayal… is frankly laughable.
No thanks, RR.

Can someone explain why "system change" does not apply to bus drivers who kill ppl on a daily basis in #lka? Coz 'one country, one law' applies to only some ppl, is it? #aneybung
Let’s be clear:
The Māori are not oppressed in modern New Zealand.
In fact, they were protesting a bill that would give equal rights to all New Zealanders and remove their special status and preferential rights.
So… they’re fighting 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 equality.
Too many Sri Lankans don't understand the meaning of "democracy".
Time and time again, the South insults the North and East for choosing differently.
Before we preach "system change," learn to respect everyone's choices within the democratic system.

@anuradisanayake I have a printout of your promises to the people and will congratulate once you have kept your promises. Will support the people's decision always.

@kanchana_wij And if we're giving away free solar, why not give to hospitals and schools? Why not give to struggling SMEs? Why not, in short, give to something that actually needs it?
So the man tied himself up and strangled himself while seated in his car?? Smells of a high level cover up. #SriLanka justice system at its best 🤡 #SoSriLanka#lka

18yrs ago today, #LKA faced its worst natural disaster the Boxing Day Tsunami that shook our entire region claiming the lives of over 35,000 Sri Lankans & countless others in the region. Let us never forget the loss. My prayers to all those who lost loved ones! 🙏🏽
More than 50 thousand children are suffering from malnutrition, healthcare system is in crisis with shortages of 150+ drugs but guess we need more Police jeeps.
Bravo Tiran Alles and Ranil 👏🏾👏🏾
