Rajapaksa henchmen Rajpal Abeynayake – Editor of Daily News and Dinesh Weerawansa – Editor of Sunday Observer have vansihed into thin air since the defeat of Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday, Colombo Telegraph reliably learns.
Rajpal
The two Editors who were staunch supporters of Mahinda Rajapaksa had not reported to work today and have been uncontactable since yesterday. In his editorial on Friday (9) Rajpal had written that the Opposition victory is ‘a figment of the imagination of various interested parties’. Rajpal’s Twitter account has also been inactive since January 8.
Similar situations have emerged in other state media including the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation and the ITN where most of the top ranking officials have left their positions.
Chairman of SLBC Hudson Samarasinghe and Deputy General Manager of ITN Sudharman Radaliyagoda, who has two oustansing warrants in his name have also reportedly fled the country.

Glad to see the back of the Noise people.
The personnel changed, but the process didn’t! The new guys sings from the same song book, “Long live the President, you the GEM of the Pearl of Indian Ocean”
“President Maithripala Sirisena is a true son of the soil – a son of a humble farmer from the rice bowl of the North Central Province. The overwhelming mandate he received from all four corners of the island proves beyond any doubt that his vision for the future, centred on a Maithri Palanaya (Compassionate Governance) resonated broadly with the ordinary masses. With the election of Maithripala Sirisena as President, we have a great opportunity to rectify these colossal mistakes and steer the country on the correct path. His 100 day programme for a Maithri era is a blueprint for bringing the entire country together on a journey of prosperity.

Did you listen to MR’s speech after his chopper ride?
If you look at the event’s unfolding and statements coming from various sources it appears the script for the drama has already been written by someone somewhere living outside this island.
The stupid Tamils/Sinhalese should seriously take note of it otherwise this island is going to bleed for another 30 years.

The Election Final Results.
Maithripala Sirisena 6,217,162 51.28%
Mahinda Rajapaksa 5,768,090 47.58%
This is what he said.
I Cannot Accept the Defeat Caused by the Tamils: Mahinda Rajapaksa
[ Saturday, 10 January 2015, 06:56.28 AM GMT +05:30 ]
lankasri
At the Presidential Election because of the Voting Strength of the Tamils in Srilanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa got defeated and lost his power.
But Mahinda says that he is refused to accept this defeat, because it has been caused only by the Tamils.
Before the elections results are fully announced, abruptly in the middle of the night, Mahinda left the Presidential Palace Temple Trees in a hurried manner.
From Colombo city he went to Hambantota in Medamulana, where he got his own house. At this place lots of his supporters were gathered together to support him. In their midst, Mahinda gave an emotional speech as follows:
“The Prime reason for the defeat in the Presidential Election is caused by the Vote banks of the Tamils from North, East and from the Upcountry, therefore, I cannot accept this defeat, which has been caused by the Tamils by voting against me. Therefore, I am not at all accepting this as a defeat. Even now the Power has not gone out of Sinhalese from the government. Because of my defeat, the Tamil community is not going to get any benefit at all”.
In the meantime, according to sources, Chandrika Kumaratunga is trying to remove Mahinda Rajapaksa out of the party leader post from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.

Kettikaran / January 10, 2015
To be magnanimous in victory is a sublime human quality. I have written of this before and I repeat. The nature of a highly polarised society has divided our people. Journalists, senior professionals, teachers and others who would have remained neutral had to take sides favouring the ruling elite – purely to save their jobs. By that I mean the very basis of resources to run their families. In many ways the
Rajapakses destroyed the very nature of our governance and societal values to maintain the sudden high life style of the venal extended family. This national injury has to be gradually restored. It will not be easy.

Don’t forget Sajin de Vass Gonaa who has fled to Singapore through the VIP Lounge of the airport .All arrangements for him to flee were made by Majitha who works in the Foreign Ministry by requesting the Airport authorities to open the VIP lounge for Sajin to to go though.It was this Jayasinhe who made similar arrangements for Mutuhettigama to go through the lounge even though he had an arrest warrant on him
Majintha was planning to be next Ambassador to China where his mistress lives.Majintha is supposed to have failed all his ministry internal Efficiency Bar exams but due to his friendship with Sajin ,doing baggage boy work, was a powerful man in the Ministry.Now Majintha the low down man is trying to get close to the new administration in the guise of arranging the Poe’s visit.New administration people better watch out.

These people were not ethical journalists, but paid propagandists.
Lake House has become a symbol of government propaganda maintained by public funds. So are SLBC and SLRC.
The new government should turn Lake House into a non-profit journalism center run by citizen journalists. Let them train themselves in what is now known as “mindful journalism” using the three dimensions of the magga (panna, sila and samadhi) as their moral/ethical roadmap. If they understand the implicit code of ethics associated with the magga, no minority groups could object to this suggestion.
Democratic governments need not depend on blatant propaganda.

Atleast the poeple should know by now on what basis MR has gained within Sri Lanka. After all he is left in the grease pole by himself, and his own kith and kin has left this once a king attitude man.
Even he has gone to the books as the shortest terms ever served as president of Sri Lanka.
Await for more action packed news and jolly surprises.

Seriously though, it’s time to bring in a new culture to raise journalistic standards in Sri Lanka and totally remove governmental control over institutions that are obliged to sing from its prescribed song book. This will help raise political awareness and maturity of the populace and thereby increase the level of ‘vibrancy’ of our democracy…..

May be you should ask Pearl Thevanayagam who wrote out a character certificate for Mahindapala. She wrote “HLD has not a racist bone in his body. ….. Sometimes passionate towards Sinhala cause he still remains the intrepid and honest journalist who cannot be bought with cheque books.”
The last few farticles he wrote for the CT proved that he was a two cent prostitute – no need for cheque books.

This is the most serious problem facing the country today and must be urgently rectified and we should be sitting among the first 10.
it backfired on the rajapakshes because they thought that everything was hickory dock due to newspapers publishing only what they liked to hear.If they had allowed press freedom and taken on board the criticism and improved their performance then they would not be in the predicament that they are in today.

Chandra / January 11, 2015
From the Sunday Observer Editorial ..
“This is indeed the need of the hour as all these cherished values had taken a beating under the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime which brazenly disregarded all norms of civilised conduct and democracy. This was most evident in the way the previous incumbent conducted his re-election bid. According to one conservative estimate, he had spent at least Rs. 250 billion on the campaign, from giant cut-outs to utterly revolting TV advertisements that ridiculed the Common Candidate.
The State media, including this newspaper, were used in the most shameless manner to promote the previous President who was seeking an unprecedented third term, with not one inch of room given to the Common Candidate or to any of the other 17 candidates. As President Sirisena highlighted in his speech, it was his political maturity and mettle that enabled him to fearlessly withstand this barrage of mudslinging.
It is indeed vital to restore democracy, freedom, people’s sovereignty and law and order in the shortest possible period of time. Having ended the three-decade old conflict, the previous President had a golden opportunity to become a revered leader like Nelson Mandela by bringing all communities and religious groups together and strengthening democratic institutions. However, he eschewed this path and chose to tread in the opposite direction by steadily undermining and weakening all democratic structures and sowing ethnic and religious discord for short-term gain.
As John Acton said years ago, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. Mahinda Rajapaksa embodied this perfectly through the passing of the draconian 18th Amendment which removed Presidential term limits and repealed all the independent commissions appointed through the 17th Amendment. He spent government funds lavishly on fruitless projects, most of which were named after himself. Even the opening ceremonies of these projects cost millions of rupees. The intimidation of independent media and human rights groups and the tacit approval given to extremist organisations such as the Bodu Bala Sena were other factors that led to his downfall. His close and extended family was given a free rein to ride roughshod over the populace and engage in acts of massive corruption.”
