India's help for Sri Lanka in its moment of need will never be forgotten. Thank you @DrSJaishankar and @narendramodi . We've had sooooo much song and dance for $3B from IMF (and still going) while India forked out $4.5B in no time to keep us going in 2022. And it wasn't at all

@RajapaksaNamal @SriLankaTweet Namal there’s no point in apologising: fix it. We need energy in the country. Talk to your dad and uncles and re-route the money to make that happen. If you guys can’t fix it then get out of the way please. This is the worst its been managed in our independent history.

The only viable person I see to lead Sri Lanka as PM from the current parliament is @MASumanthiran . He’s the humblest, smartest, cleanest and overall best politician we have and is a gentleman to boot. He can lead a real national government. Yes he’s Tamil, but so what?

In 4 years of current LK govt, we’e had: - 4 secretaries of defense, with 5th coming - 4 chiefs of defense staff - 3 army cmdrs - 5 navy cmdrs - 3 air force cmdrs How can you defend a country like that? NO continuity. Oh and arrests of intelligence and retired officers.

WTF is this - to go to a parliament meeting you have to wear a SUIT?? This joker is attacking the CFO of SL Insurance for *only* being in a shirt and tie. Why you EVEN need to be in a tie, let alone suit/blazer?! (Cont.)

@RajapaksaNamal @SriLankaTweet Second part is, please COMMUNICATE the truthful status. It sucks, we all know, but give us the truth and tell this is the situation. That was done well during early Covid. We need daily TRUTHFUL updates on the day’s status and immediate outlook so we can plan.

Now that we’re looking for evidence - can @RamanayakeR please also share all your audio recordings of corruption? AI can be used to group the clips by voice and then we can manually the voice to a person. Putting this and the JVP files together will start us an evidence dump.

I understand the politics of giving 50k jobs, but you guys got free education paid by the people. Why do the people also need to pay you for the rest of your working life (& beyond w/ pension)?! I hope these people are given real work, not “development officer” do-nothing jobs.
