President Maithripala Sirisena continued his practice of taking SLFP MPs representing the opposition on overseas tours as members of his delegation.
The President has taken with him two MPs of the SLFP, namely S.B. Dissanayake and Dayasiri Jayasekera to Singapore where Sirisena will attend a number of events including an environmental conference for Asia Pacific state authorities.
None of the government ministers have been included in the President’s delegation to Singapore.
When asked why the President decided to take two SLFP MPs to Singapore, a spokesperson from the President’s Office told Colombo Telegraph it was the President’s prerogative. “It is the President who makes final decisions on his delegation,” he added.
Several SLFP MPs, including Dilan Perera, Nishantha Mutuhettigama, Lasantha Alagiyawanna, Dushmantha Mithrapala, Lasantha Alagiyawann, Angajan Ramanathan and Sriyani Wijewickrema were seen touring in the Philippines with President Sirisena last week.
Foreign Minister Thilak Marapana was the only Cabinet minister who took part in the President’s tour during which he signed five MOUs with the Philippines.

S.B. seems to be standing & sleeping while Dayasiri is laughing at something he probably didn’t understand.
What a disgrace.
Singaporean’s take protocol seriously.
Unlike our bunch of jokers who are clueless.

He is doing it in style ……….. before he bites the dust in December

Next …….. the presidential pardon to Ganasara
–
To think that 6.5 million voted for this guy ……… thinking he’ll deviate from the quintessential Lankan behaviour and act un-Lankan :))
–
Some things are more certain about Lankans ……….than even if the sun will rise tomorrow …………

The handsome man in blue broad tie (a cousin of Sirisena) seems to be well articulated and good to represent Sri Lanka. Well done Sirisena!

The Sinhala Intellectuals run farcical mega serial is called Government of SinhaLE, the Wildlife Sanctuary. The comedians’ life’s Buddhism philosophy is loot, eat, rape, kill and die.
Rotten Angajan Ramanathan played LTTE song to win LG election. In Vaharai, Rapist Army’s Paramilitary shot two policemen to prove LTTE has been resurrected. During the Coup Deva and Karuna went ahead with their famous quotes.
The other rowdy, Old King is complaining about the illegality of 19A. He illegally grabbed PM position. He illegally Donkey Traded. He illegally joined Slap Party. Then he illegally grabbed Opposition Party leadership. When complained about it, he illegally joined the SLFP again.
The man made barter deals for JVP girls’ defense; he illegally flew to Geneva with government departments’ files; his CJ said he illegally cleared him from criminal cases to stand for EP election; he paid for LTTE and won the election; he declared, illegally, that he has file on his assistant, who was SLFP party secretary; he said he needs PM position to save his wife, Children and bothers from court cases; Pending War Crimes are extra. The man accused of many crimes. Now he is illegally occupying the opposition Party Leadership while he and New King are consultatively taking governmental excisions.
JR impeached opposition leader Amirthalingam because he was a Tamil. Then Wildlife Sanctuary, SinhaLE, Lankawe operated without Opposition Party Leader. September, 2015, when the partner in the coup, Karu was forced to give OPL to Sampanthar, we repeatedly reminded here he too being impeached. Our prophecy became true when a none-parliamentarian from Slap Party, a non-party in parliament, was illegally appointed as OPL by the Partner in the Coup, Karu.

Not only MS and his gang enjoy his life, he has permitted engaged others to LOOT Central Bank by blessing of MS leadership of that CBK, Ranil Wicka, Milak, Kabir Husuan and Ravi K… has given legal coverage by Power of President to RW. …his mafia group.
Not a single Western Media made any allegation against UNP’s RW of PM that bank robbery by RW and his gang .RW is man of Western allies. His democracy and looted of Tax Payers money is nothing to worry for Western Embassies in Colombo.
All in all politics are subject rule by democracy of that USA + UK norms of which is “war” footing democracy by western embassies in Colombo. All these notaries habits are originated by western teaching since 2015 January 8th blanket mandate of USA +UK +Indian’s .
