Daham Sirisena marred the post-match presentation of the 137th Royal / Thomian awards ceremony when he appeared on stage uninvited.
The son of President Maithripala Sirisena took the Joint Organizing Committee of the event by total surprise when he got on stage initially to shake hands with chief guest Premier Ranil Wickremesinghe and remained on stage thereafter till the presentation was over.
“Fuck the fucking fuckers, what the fuck was Daham doing up there? ” an old Royalist complained about the organizing committee assuming that they had invited Daham Sirisena to be one of the distinguished guests on stage to give away the awards.
However when Colombo Telegraph contacted a member of the Royal /Thomian Joint Committee he refuted this claim and said that even they were surprised to see Daham Sirisena get on stage. “In fact even Premier Ranil Wickremesinghe looked a bit embarrassed when he was taken by surprise when Daham sprung up on stage to shake his hand.” he said.
A distinguished old Royalist said ” It’s embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing ! there were many respected past cricketers of Royal College in attendance. If at all one of them should have been up there and not this idiot. Daham’s presence certainly took the gloss of our fascinating victory by being present on stage. “
“Looks like he is a crazy psycho who now is habitually using his daddy’s powers to be seen in public” another commentator said.
When asked why Daham Sirisena was on stage another Joint Committee Member said “even I did not know who he was. One idiot jumped on stage and shook Premier Wickremesinghe’s hand. When asked to step down he refused and remained up there. As we were busy and since the ceremony was not going to take too long we ignored him and let him be in the foreground. Only later we found out that he was President Sirisena’s son.”
“None of the committee members could sleep last night with a plethora of calls coming through demanding answers as to what Daham Siirsena was doing among such a distinguished gathering” said another disgruntled Joint Committee Member.
The guests on stage who gave away the awards comprised of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, Group Chief Executive Dialog Axiata Dr.Hans Wijayasuriya, Warden S.Thomas’ College Rev. Marc Billimoria, Royal College Principal B.A. Abeyratne, S.Thomas’ College cricket captain of 1975 Mohan De Silva, Royal College cricket captain of 1969 Eardley Lieversz and Dr. Hiran Wimalaratne Co-Chairman JOC Host Royal College.

The fact that no one in the organizing committee had the guts to tell that little shit to get off the stage says only one thing to me.
As a former Royalist , a prefect and a coloursman and one who started life at St Thomas’s Prep school…We need to change the committee. All of them must go and Royalists and Thomians worth their salt should be appointed.
I look forward to mass resignations.

I refrained from commenting earlier as I was in complete shock when I read this article two days ago.
People voted MR out for many follies, one of which was arrogance and widespread abuse by his siblings. Dham should know how to manage himself but he clearly does not understand protocol. He is like any other average Sri Lankan and must learn to behave so. He is gradually becoming a liability to Yahapalanaya and this must be addressed now and not later.
CT,
The language in the headline of this article entire is completely unwarranted. Where is your editor?

It is indeed not surprising that this ill-bred brat behaves this way, when his father thinks it is permissible for him to replace the Sri Lanka Permanent Rep. to the UN at its sessions,for reasons that those without children would not understand! Protocol and decency be damned! No doubt his father will justify this incident with some such falacious argument! It is to the PM’s credit that he did not snub him and get him off the stage. But then RW is an Old Royalist with Royal – Thomian values. There lies the difference! We went to school with president’s, prime ministers’ and ministers’ sons, but none behaved in this uncouth, disgusting fashion. If this is the trend, God save Sri Lanka!

OMG I watched the whole presentation till the end on Papare.com but can’t recollect seeing this fool coming on stage. anyways I don’t care two hoots if he is the president’s son or just an ordinary psycho who rushed to the stage. apparently RW knew who he was.I agree with most comments that the organizing committee should take the blame and tender resignation. But wait the resignation doesn’t have to be accepted by the Principal just like it happens every where in the Banana Republic. LOL :)

Hey , Royal. – Thomians , please do remember that you are not special. If you can not live according to this culture go and live in Aussie or USA.

Bystander / March 17, 2016
Are you saying that boorish, uncouth behaviour is the ‘culture’ of this country? And that anybody who believes it is not, should go to where decency prevails? It is this attitude that fosters indisciplined conduct and regards the flouting of the norms of civilised behaviour, that has created a culture of disregarding the rule of law as normal in this country. Of course it was typified in the manner in which a Chief Justice was dismissed and an Army Commander was imprisoned! So much for 2000 years of civilisation! It is not about Royalists or Thomians, it is about ordinary decent conduct.

Class is not something that can be taught. It comes from being among classy people and parents from small days.
People who happen upon sudden riches and/or power usually have a hard time coping with that. You saw that with Rajapaksa kids and now with Sirisena kids as well.
Poor sod; hope he learns some day that being obnoxious doesn’t win you any friends.

Dont agree with CT on the language of the headline- that is the only language that morons like Sirisena understand!!

Sinhala_Man / March 17, 2016
Dear Hugh,
Which Sirisena do you mean? In some respects, I acknowledge that I am a bit disappointed with our president’s performance. However, there is no way that we can fault him for his use of language. He always speaks in chaste and fluent Sinhalese.
Yes, it would be good to hear the younger Sirisena speak. Even I, who am still an enthusiastic supporter of the Rainbow Revolution, have begun to consider this fellow a moron.

Bloody ,Royal – Thomian class culture came to us from British from their Cambridge Oxferd culture. In UK it is expired with development of people attitude. Still we keep this since we are country with poor attitude. Be Sri Lankan not Royal- Thomian. And develop the country.

Reading through these comments paint that sad but real picture of how those that our cultured and live by the moral standards that should govern a civilized public are scorned upon by those that are alien to such. The worst part is how these retards actually believe it is their right to claim a stronger affiliation to the culture of our nation.

A Royal Litigation / March 18, 2016
Dear Editor of the Colombo Telegraph,
A free media is a fundamental pillar of a vibrant democracy that we all respect whether Royal or Non-Royal. However, I would like to ask the Colombo Telegraph under what statute or clause does the CT have the right or privileged that no other media has to affront the reading public by publishing gutter and unexpurgated language as “Fuck”, “Fukers”, “Fucking” in your supposedly esteem journal? After all, we are under the impression that you live up to your own mantra as you claim “Truth is a process in journalism”. What kind of journalism is this nonsense that is public indecency. We are hereby cautioning the CT and also warning you that if you do not adhere to media guidelines of censorship with your future publications, the CT WILL BE SHUT DOWN and all your assets seized no matter where and what mirror sites you operate whether from within Sri Lanka or from elsewhere on the planet.

What the Fuck is this Royal fucking litigation? Who the Fuck who gave this Fucker the license to threaten an independent journal? It may be Fucking Yahapalanaya but no Fucking palanaya can threaten to shut down media particularly when it is operating away from Colombo. Such Fucking idiosyncratic behaviour has to be kept within your community.

I am a old royalist living in the UK. No white man cares for my school they only worry what I can do with my brain. We are a poor bloody country trying to live like a super power. Stop this bloody nonsense and talk like a Sri Lankan. I for one don’t care a shit for those people on the stage. My only interest is the country.

FUCK is short for Fonicating Under the Consent of the King.
In old England if you were not married you could fornicate with the consent of the King and had to put a board. Thus the abbreviation FUCK came into being.
So what’s wrong
/
Sanipanado / March 18, 2016
One origin story for fuck is that it comes from when sex was outlawed unless it was permitted explicitly by the king, so people who were legally banging had Fornication Under Consent of the King on their doors, or: F.U.C.K. But obviously that’s wrong. And if you do believe that, stop it. Stop it right now.

From the Sri Lankanised “Monty Python”
Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the english language, is the word fuck. Out of all the english words that begin with the letter ‘f’ …fuck is the only word refered to as ‘the f word… It’s the one magical word. Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. Fuck, as most words in the english language is derived from german …the word fuieken, which means to strike.
In english, fuck falls into many grammatical categories:
As a transitive verb for intance …Sirisena fucked the economy.
As an intransitive verb…The Royal Litigation fucks.
Its meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as…
An adjective such as …Ranil’s doing no fucking work.
As part of an adverb …Kiriella talks too fucking much and it sucks.
As an adverb enhancing an adjective …Rosy is fucking beautiful.
As a noun …Sirisena doesn’t give a fuck.
As part of a word …absofuckinglutely -or- infuckingcredible.
And as almost every word in a sentence …Fuck the fucking electricity minister fucker.
