Two weeks since Gnanasara's presidential pardon was revoked, and #police still haven't apprehended or handed him over to #prison authorities. Is this the kind of law and order the @NPPSLOfficial intends to establish? #SriLanka #lka #NPP #Gnanasara #LawAndOrder #Justice #Racism

After Listening To Submissions, UNHCR Suggests A Longer Prison Term For Namal. #lka #NewsCurry

Willing to support the government if they put a restrictive import duty on tripods, stabilizers and Bluetooth microphones. There are too many influencers, the oversupply is killing quality. This is bad for the market and terrible for my anger issues.

This is fishy: Cabinet approves Rs. 174 m consultancy contract for $ 30 m tourism development program ft.lk/front-page/Cabinet-app… Consultancy firm that won is "M/s Novel Interdisciplinary Consulting Enterprise Ltd." Hmm. Seems their website is this: niceconsultlk.com/. Domain was registered in March 2025. Site doesn't load properly and ends up in an Arabic form (see images). I had to use Chrome devtools to make scrolling work. Then I see the attached projects. Gotta love what their clients say (see image). And the managing director has his job title spelt wrong (see image). This appears to be the managing director: linkedin.com/in/prasanna-gun… who is apparently a procurement consultant for World Bank and/or ADB. According to the content from their site as summarized by Google, another director is "Sulaiman Nazamat Umar Mohamed Nizar is a Sri Lankan biotechnology professional and General Manager at Mike Biotech Asia Pvt Ltd since 2017. He holds a BSc (Hons) ..." Hey @anuradisanayake @Dr_HariniA @BimalRathnayake there's something seriously off here. @nimilamalee

Nimalano strikes again

It’s really interesting to see supporters of the 2022 Ranil Wickremesinghe administration now criticizing the government’s handling of the economic outcomes of the program negotiated by that same Wickremesinghe administration. Do they not get it?

More than 1,000 people caught spitting betel and urinating inside the renovated Colombo Pettah Central Bus Stand have been made to clean the areas they dirtied. The offenders, including several bus drivers and conductors, were identified through the terminal’s 24-hour CCTV surveillance system. Over the past seven months, CCTV cameras have flagged 1,286 incidents, while 64 suspects linked to theft, property damage and other offences have been handed over to Police.

List of batsmen to have scored more centuries than Sonal Dinusha against India in a bilateral test series: Sir Don Bradman Sir Everton Weekes Mudassar Nazar Steve Smith Joe Root Mind you, the names above have achieved it in a 4-6 match test series. Dinusha has scored 3 centuries in 2 games. What a series he has had.

Regulations needed for screens in cars, too much info & dependence. You cannot have a map, music, apps, multiple camera views alongside traditional driving info etc it’s just too distracting. Physical buttons for some functions are already mandatory in the EU

Now Ranil is saying the same thing that critics of the IMF Program have been saying since Ranil negotiated and signed the deal with the IMF 🤦🏽‍♂️😭🤷🏾‍♂️

Everybody (incl NPPs own group of judges, BASL, International Orgs, UN): “Extending retirement age of judges requires a referendum” AKD: “I AM READY TO LEAVE THIS SEAT AT ANY TIME” Everybody: “Yako we aren’t asking you to leave just obey the constitution??!”

lol so we just take his word for it? Ok bro.

Grateful to the UN Special Rapporteur on the issue of the Independence of Judges and Lawyers for raising what BASL, the legal fraternity and this Opposition have said for weeks. We have to ask the simple question: why must this extension apply to the judges already sitting on the bench today? A government does not spend its political capital on a two-year adjustment unless it knows exactly whose two years it is buying. And everyone needs to understand what this means. If a government can decide how long a judge stays, that judge is no longer fully free to rule against the government. 1.1 million cases are pending. Not one is fixed by this amendment. If the Govt insists on the extension, they should have a Referendum, as the Supreme Court required in 2022. But first explain it to the people, in plain language, in Sinhala, Tamil and English what the implications are, before people can vote on the matter.

Just think. The very people that said we had Trump Derangement Syndrome, are now forming a party against… Trump

Broken Promises: What @anuradisanayake and NPP actually promised to do to make the judicial process "independent, efficient, transparent and affordable"

I don’t envy the work of the OMP. So much bureaucracy to work through, and so much mistrust from victims families…. It’s crucial their work receives full backing from the NPP govt, influential foreign govt’s, the UN and other international organisations.

I just don’t see how you can have millions of dollars diverted, most likely under direct authorization by high ranking finance ministry officials, yet the Treasury Secretary faces no accountability. Same with the Prison massacre, surely somebody has to resign or be fired.

It is fair to say that the Trump Administration tried to change the landscape of diplomacy through the creation of a southern corridor in the Persian Gulf while the MOU was still in effect. It is one thing to argue that the southern corridor lies in the US's interest. It is a different matter altogether to argue that WHILE the final status of the Strait is being negotiated WITHIN the MOU, an effort should have been pursued OUTSIDE of the MOU to create that corridor. And then, once this effort has contributed to the MOU collapsing, take military action to create new facts on the ground that renders such a corridor more likely within a final settlement. In essence, that's a strategy centered on military action shaping the landscape of diplomacy, rather than a strategy in which the final outcome is determined through PEACEFUL diplomacy. Either the commitment is to diplomacy within the MOU, or it is to actions (military and non-military) outside of the MOU. It can't be both. I suspect we will not see any SERIOUS diplomacy unless this question has been settled. Unfortunately, we are not there yet.
