Refuting the claims made by the Opposition on each of the Rajapaksa ‘princes’ owning a private chopper, the eldest ‘prince’ MP Namal Rajapaksa in a most absurd response has stated that the helicopters in reference are only toys that were gifted to them as kids.
Addressing a UPFA rally yesterday, Namal has said that when he saw news reports of the three helicopters gifted to him and his two siblings by their father, he had rushed home to check whether the reports were true.
“He had not bought us helicopters. There were only the three toy helicopters that he bought for us as kids during a trip to Kataragama. The Opposition has been referring to these toys. If they are resorting to lying, I wish they would at least lie in a way they wouldn’t get caught,” he had said.
Namal had also commented on the claims made by the Opposition about the horse that had been brought to Sri Lanka for the use of the youngest ‘prince’ Lohitha Rajapaksa, all the way from the Royal Mews of the Buckingham Palace.
“They have said we travel to Nuwaraeliya in these helicopters to see horses. I am not aware of any horses owned by my family. But I do know that there was a horse at Temple Trees when Vimukthi used to live there. That was during the tenure of Chandrika,” he had said.

Namal baby proves to be a baby by his baby talks.
EC has got the financial disclosure of MR and his assets. If he made it rataining anything – it will not be that difficult to trace how much he has abused in the forms of 500- 5000% commissions from Roads and the construction authorities.

what happened to the case filed against that Mayor ?
What happened to the case filed against Duminda Silva ( whose takepart killed Baratha)
What happened to the case Lasantha Wi ?
What happened to the rumours on Eknaligoda said to be seen in Belgium and France ?
What happened to the loads of Heroine confiscated recently in the airport ?
What verdict was given in that heroin smuggle ?
Why the INCUMBENT never use his EXECUTIVE powers to protect HEROIN smuggle ?
What are the ground realities of allegations made to Lanza ?
Why president himself turned up (by using PSD helicopters) at the time Lanza was arrested by police ?
What happened to the Bribery commission reported to be working pro PRESIDENT ?
Why the LAWYERS COLLECTIVE and all other lawful bodies stayed long silence while Rajapakshe looted not hundreds but several hundreds of millions from tax payers funds ?

Sarojini, don’t use fake names to hide the truth.if you want proof, wait and see living proof later. Look like you know something and trying to justify your lie before its too late.The truth is yes , they can deposit in someone else names. That s what Sadam, Gadaffi and marcos did for some of their money. The recent eg. is Algerian dictator.

Well, so far no one has seen any evidence of these helicopters or the horse. Its hard to hide these things.
Where is the evidence please?
/
Dom / December 16, 2014
The evidence will come when the new government is formed under Maithri, The Ministry of Finance’s department will have all bank statements of MR and his monthly transfers, By using that thing they can surely track down the money by company names or individual name.

ramona therese fernando / December 17, 2014
I agree. The horse was probably part of a horse- breeding program to develop Little England. The choppers were for another tourist program with Rohitha inaugurating it in his flight to check the horse.
In any case, everything looks bad because there is a great amount of Chinese money. I want to know how previous presidents got so rich and influential(even now), when there was no money.

Is there any doubts that those princes closed Colombo to do their night racing.. But is there a single photo of those princes with their luxury sports cars? This is how these Rajapakses control the country with iron fist. . Or majority of Stupid SBs thinks like Vibushanas who worship this family of thiefs and believe royal Hora family has right to steal and enjoy…
/
Sumith / December 17, 2014
well said AVB.
Vibhushana asks for evidence. -:)
We know what happened to people who produce any evidence against royal family. Lasantha, Jansz, Pragith is just a beginning of the list who produced any evidence of the family…
Vibhushana wait for few more days Rajitha said yesterday he will produce a list Swiss bank/Indian account details held by royal family. -:)

IN come ahead of us – more to surface. But if the boys feel that could help the nation – there they should be very naive. Wounds of the people have become unhealable to this day – they are furious of the way the Rajaano has abused their funds telling only the palatable to them.

Lapatiya / December 16, 2014
This is the real truth. He has some Aston Martin, Lamborghini and other super Luxury racing cars but those are also toy cars. They are using Rs. 150,000 worth of toy shoos. They have tons of Gold which was belongs to Tamils in the north but actually those Gold also not real, Imitation Gold. Rajapaksha’s has toy Marriott Hotel in Dubai. Also they have very thick toy bank accounts in foreign countries. Also they owns toy white vans as well.

Matilda Ellepola / December 17, 2014
Dont forget the Toy pistols and guns.
the Rajapaksa lackie and Hambantota mayor was to say he was carrying a toy pistol when they shoot at the opposition UNP parliamentarians when they visited the white elephant Port in H’tota.
So, they can say it was a toy horse and toy lambos and very soon they can say the Nandikadal massacre was done with Toy artillery, toy machine guns and toy helicopters and ask UNHRC to drop the charges against the GOSL and Rajapaksa brothers.

Chandrika , while she was the President did not live at Temple Trees. It was the official residence of the prime Minister.So how can Vimukthi have a horse there?
She used the President’s House for official business while she was the President.
Why has Mahinda been using Temple Trees by force since 2005?

The other 18 Contestants can easily implement the public disclosure of assets by simply following this:
With all the regulations re the Declaration of Assets Form, I wonder if there is any prohibition in all the 18 Candidate VOLUNTARILY making public of its contents. The very aim for this provision in the Election laws, was as a precaution against corruption? Will not this simple and elementary tactic not bring into the open the incumbents and his family assets! A much needed information prior to endorsing a 3rd term, which 10 of his Judges agree to.
Readers, please endorse this plea.
This PE is being finanaced by China in a subtle way by inflating the Contract charges for Highway development. Public Officers in the Treasury and the Central Bank should be well aware of the modus- operandi. Only the incumbent Candidate benefits from this.

How come Tissa Attanayake to join him immediately after his resignation and join to the coalition ?
What average ones feel controversal are not controversal to the President – the incident Dr Nonis was assualted by Baggage boy turned Monitoring minister Sajin Vaas to join President in his tour to Rome two months ago ?
Srilanken airlines has become their PVT taxi today so what more talks need to prove that this man in power has abused the nation as other leaders sofar.

Toy helicopters

Now everything is toy.
Now he misses TOY ANARKALI TOO
Mahinda and his three sons are unwise and stupid.
I think he is toy lawyer too.
Rubbish….
Chandrika’s children are very disciplined and not like Mahinda’s children.
Mahinda’s children are extremely intoxicated with power and robbed money.
Unfortunately Sinhalese people never realise this truth. People are very foolish.
Kindly request everyone to be united and vote to expel these robbers.

Germans didn’t know Hitler purchased American perfume, lipstick, skin lotions, etc, for his girl friend Eva Braun during the war.
Same thing.
All media are now controlled by the Rajafucksas and no news can escape that.
SLAF 4 squadron operates all VVIP helicopters. These are the ones before 2011.
Bell 412 – 1985
Bell 212 – 1983
Bell 206 Jet Ranger – 1968
Bell 412EP – 2000
The following were purchased in 2011.
“Sri Lanka has purchased two Bell 412 helicopters which were delivered to its storage facility in Piney Flats, Tennessee, adding to their growing fleet of aircraft.
The helicopters, bought of the US-based Bell Helicopter company have been modified for “VIP travel”. The Air Force recently purchased 14 military transport helicopters from Russia and two aircraft from China to add to it’s expanding commercial arm, Helitours.”
– reuters
So now we have one BELL helicopter for one Rajafucksa each in the first family and one more! The Russian ones are good for transporting goods and not very good for VVIP travel.
No hiding the truth in the internet era.

My dear everything and anything is a toy for you 3 boys!! All brought up by the examples of the papa! !
SUBHA ANAGATHAYAK!
By the way don’t blame People like Vibushana. They are pairs of toy hands without minds that just type the dictation by the dictators
The big horse is not in N’Eliya?? It is a Gon thadiya (a STUPID STUD BULL) in Temple Trees!!!

Who does Namal think he is fooling? Talking down to the nation as if we are intellectually challenged is insulting. We know all about the “toys” these privileged sons play with. We have seen the flashy cars that must be remote control toys, and the life of luxury they keep living, and what of those interviews of the youngest prince, where he brags of designer clothing? Sounds like the emperors new clothes. Who do they think they are fooling? They came with nothing when they took over this country, and now look at their lifestyles.
Whose money buys all this luxury? Did they inherit it from the grandfathers? Who pays for their lavish trips abroad, top of the line vehicles, and other luxuries? Must be toy money.
