A fresh controversy has arisen over the Chinese company’s position on the legal and arbitration system of the Chinese funded Colombo Port City, Colombo Telegraph reliably learns.
Liang Thow Ming, chief sales and marketing officer of Sri Lanka’s CHEC Port City Colombo (Pvt) Ltd, which is handling the project said a separate court and arbitration centre would be set up to administer the affairs within the city.
“A separate court, separate arbitration centres, a city that is run under a different set of rules — the whole port city playing a different game from the rest of Colombo” Ming said, in an interview with ‘The Hindu‘ recently.
This comment has stirred up a hornets’ nest with several ministers and MPs raising the issue with Minister of Development Strategies and International Trade Malik Samarawickrama.
They had stated that this would be an infringement on the country’s sovereignty.
The Indian diplomats in Colombo too have warned that a separate court and arbitration centres relating to the Chinese funded Port City would create diplomatic ripples in the region.
Commenting on the matter, a top spokesman from the government said nothing has been finalized so far.
“I don’t know why the official of the Chinese company made that remark. We are yet to finalise these matters. No decision has been made so far to set up a separate court in the Port City. The government will have to discuss the matter with a number of stakeholders. So, I can only say, no decision has so far been made with regard to the matter,” he explained.

What he said is true. Port city agreement was signed by Mahinda Rajapakse which is an international agreement between China and Srilanka, which can only be abrogated with the consent of both parties. According to this agreement 20 hectares was sold outright in perpetuity to China, 170 hectares were given on a 99% lease to China and only 230 hectares will be in the possession of Srilanka. In the first two areas, when Srilanka cannot fly the national flag, and President needing permission to enter it, how can you expect it to be under jurisdiction of Srilanka courts. Incidentally the first two areas abut the sea while the area allocated to Srilanka is inland. Which means Srilanka cannot land its boats on those coast line and Srilankan planes cannot over fly those areas without the permission of China. This is the reality about sovereignty of Srilanka.

Infact when you think about it, it is not a bad idea.
Just imagine:
1 flexible Labour laws
2 simolified tax return to be filed online by all living and doing business in the port city above 18 years of age
3 company registration within 24 hours
4 efficient foreign exchange controls
5 international hospital with no GMOA influence
6 top tier fee levying university ranked within top 100 in the world
7 efficient garbage collection and charge the occupants on weight and contents disposed
8 easier land registration and all documts available on the web.
9 no miscellaneous taxes but only VAT and income tax
10 international arbitration Centre with recourse to mainland Supreme Court and speedy decisions
11 pay market rates for all services obtained from central government
12 no political influence in managing the city.
13 emergency services are not crippled by strikes
Wow what a difference it would make to all living and doing business at the port city!! Dream come true!!
Hopefully others living and doing business outside the port city would demand same facilities from the govt in time to come.

This is just fear mongering.
Leasing for 99 years is common practice, you can find many investment properties on this basis in Sri Lanka. Law of the country applies to all the land sea and air space under it’s jurisdiction. And the government can enforce it’s writ on any leased land or outright purchased land. It’s the same for any country. Only in the premises of an embassy of a foreign country, the law of that country applies.
We had one painful experience in our history of foreign power directly violated our Sovereignty, it’s the ‘parippu invasion’ of India.

“The idea is to have a court that works and can be trusted instead of the “legal system” that the rest of the country enjoys.”
What is the guarantee that the separate court would “work”? If Sri Lankans are going to be appointed the arbitrators/judges, then as tradition demands they work for the highest bidder, and they should not act in the interest of justice.
“There is a reason off shore is called off shore.”
For the above purpose let us bring in off shore judges from China, Pakistan, Hindia, Nigeria, ……., ……..
“Now that I think about it a separate police force is needed also. Thanks for the idea.”
If that is acceptable, why not declare the entire North East an Off Shore entity and keep the Tamils under further voluntary control?
If for some economic or financial reason (loans) the country’s political structure, sovereignty and laws can be changed why not for the sake of peace, development and progress change the structure of the state completely from a pathetic Unitary to a democratic Federal?
Remember Hindians invaded the country in 1987 to amend the constitution now it seems Chinese turn to divide the country into offshore separate state and the rest.
Anyhow the country is destined to be divided between the have and the have not.
Soon Pakistan in joint venture with Saudi may love a piece from Kattankudy, Israel wouldn’t mind sharing Kattankudy with the rest, Russians have been looking for a blue water harbour for many years, ….

Give Kattankudy to Pakistan, Beruwala to Saudi Arabia, Negombo to Italy, Bambalapitiya to Netherlands including DBU headquarters and BRC cricket ground, Nuwara Eliya to England, Slave Island to Malaysia including Padang, but do not give anything to Tamils who as Dravidian descendants are the legitimate owners of Srilanka.
/
Barus / April 27, 2017
Dr. Gnana,
The Saudis would not want Beruwela. May be Kattankudy would be better. It is best to give Colombo to Pakistan because many containers of HIGH VALUE cargo are bound for Colombo port and clearing them might be difficult if they have to travel all the way from Kattankudy.
Secondly, the Tamilians also should get only a certain location. So it is best you stick to Mannar, due to the easy access to your homeland.
Finally, the Sinhalese also need to be restricted to a pocket, right? So Kandy seems like a good location. Cannot give the entire Central Province to them, as you have already ear marked Nuwara Eliya to be given to England. So lets think of an area between Kandy and Dambulla for the Sinhalese.
Now, this is a fair deal. You cannot as a Tamil claim the entire nation, right?
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / May 5, 2017
I forgot to add the following :
give Puttalam to Africans (their descendants are living there)
give Batticaloa to Portuguese (their descendants are living there)
give Jawatte to Parsees (They have a cemetery there)
give Matara to Durawe (you cannot win Matara seat if not Durawe)
give Balapitiya – Ratgama area to Salagama
give Kochchikade to Malayalees
Your suggestion to give Mannar to Tamils, may be appropriate as Mannar or known as Mantai/Mathottam was the first port city and where civilisation in Srilanka began.

Now everyone there is on the road to slavery with China stepping in as the main stakeholder. Neither the Americans or Indians have the wherewithal to bring peace there and the Indians would not trust the jaffna tamils as much as they wouldn’t trust the muslims and sinhalese.
So better you jump in the sea because parliament at Kotte would become a warehouse within 50 years.

Margret Thatcher did not retire gracefully. She was ousted by her own party. That’s parliamentary democracy. The ‘iron lady’ title is pure hype because of her unyielding stance in EU negotiations, keeping her MPs under a tight reign & going to war with Argentina but on whole, she has not made any significant contribution during her period in office.
Some politicians believe in themselves to be the best for the country & want to hang on to power as long as possible but there are exceptions, like Cameron, who accepted Brexit & left gracefully, taking the responsibility for failing to convince the British public to remain in the EU, even though constitutionally, he could have continued as PM until his period was over. Of course in SL, it is the norm for defeated politicians to crawl back even after being kicked out of Parliament by the voters.

When the Europeans conquered China after the Opium War, they had separate courts which dealt with foreign business. Now that China has taken over parts of Sri Lanka, it is putting its experience to use.
That is the nationalist way of looking at the situation. But, the rationalist view is that if you want a modern business city, you need a new system of law. Not have corrupt Sri Lankan judges but independent international class judges and arbitrators that modern international business people can accept.
Same argument as in the case of war criminals.
But, it is not something that the Mahavamsa nationalists are going to accept in either case.

There is nothing wrong in setting up new laws for this area provided the adjudication is done by the legal structure which now exists in Sri Lanka.

Mama Sinhalam / April 26, 2017
I am no friend of China. But, I think the commentators may go a bit easy on this one.
Every city, like the Port City- an MR creation- involves loss of sovereignty with the purpose that it will be a place of international business. So, it will have its own courts and arbitration. The models would be Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Dubai has a commercial court manned largely by English judges so that commercial people would come to do business in Dubai knowing that disputes will be settled by neutral courts applying a neutral law.
So, if you design a system like the Port City, which is external in a sense to Sri Lanka, then, you must think of it having an external system of courts. The idea is that the Port City will drive the economy of the country.
Whether this is a sound system or not is debatable. But, the time for debate is passed. The decision has been made. So, what the Chinese official said is sensible in the context. Please remove from the equation the fact that it is a chines official and that it is a chinese project.
I am sorry to disagree with the Native Veddah and other friends. I would agree with them that the project is not a good one. But, the consequences of the decision such as that it would result in a foreign enclave is predictable.

China is the party, now, insisting on separate legal system for Colombo Pong Cing. If Old King had been doing that, I can assume that he was not satisfied with Seychelles or something, so looking for some legal curtain that would not be obligated by International laws. But China’s purpose is not corruption alone. It had landed 4 submarines even before it got a grip on the land. Further, if the sole purpose of this deal is only to indulge corruption then why China is asking for Hangbangtota and Maduru Oya.
I don’t predict excessive immoral things to go through Colombo Pong Cing. I see how China is running Hong Kong, though it is its own land and China may be not willing to destroy it’s, but Pong Cing is not China’s land, so may not care much.
Even without Pong Cing China is able to exert pressure on many things. When China bring its machineries and install there, then it will administer many thing in Lankawe.
Indian government has informed that PM Modi will not sign any new pacts this month. It needs not to affect the path Lankawe taking. Ex-PM Manmohan Singh refused to talk to Old King.

Bringing back Ponni as the General is telling that the government is hell on not to prosecute the Old Royal Criminals. Ponni is an important witness (partner) in many murders and war crime. Until he is cleared from them (including Lasantha’s murder) a proper government will not allow him to stand on election. One government had accused him of corruptions. No appeals were followed to clean his guilt by courts. He got out by a prudential pardon by American pressure. (But America is reluctant to issue him Visa.) This makes the country’s Legal System as the Thirukkai Waal the political gang leaders carry in their shoulder bag with them, where they go. Clique incident or Central Bank looting didn’t go to court. Nobody wants to come with clean hands. Nobody likes to face UNHRC. This is guaranteeing that China is/will be the refugee camp for the SLFP, UNP criminals now and for the future to come.

She silently scrapped off what was left in the pot after storm and fed the hungry kids. January 2015 election came. The result was Husband had filed for divorce and had taken her kids away from her.

Local papers said the death was zero casualties. Then 17……then 20…Did Ranil came back from Vietnam only for these numbers? That kind of compassionate politician is Ranil? But the foreign Media reported it was 100. The unofficial said 200.
That is old news. Many seem to be still worrying about the needle, not missing the grinding motor rod “Uusi Pauna Idam theirum. Ulakkai Pauna Idam Theriyaathu”. When it was released that China had applied to 1 million visas, it stunned us. Hangbangtota had allocated only villages measured four or five. One million is half of Tamils or Muslims population of Ceylon! How can one pact half of Muslims or Tamils in small four or five villages. Then Maduru Oya story came out. That was said about 50,000 acres. It’s about 3-4 times larger than Hangbangtota. Still it does not make sense.
Ponni has become the General again. The target cannot be the tigers; it cannot be the lions; it cannot be the afghan donkeys or even American eagle; only thing it could be is the Chinese dragon. In August, Yahapalanaya has to go on the operation table for a Heart by Pass. We don’t know if it will be able to get off from the table and walk back home. We do not know the number games either.

This action of the Govt is certainly will be resisted…and do not be surprised of a military uprising
If that happens we are heading for another bloodshed….
The reason why Rtd SF is been requested to head the 3 forces ….for any eventualities..
The Govt of Sri Lanka headed by the Political Jokers will be over in 2020 …after 72 years
In 1818 the British called the freedom fighters Rebels and killed the all….
