Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe wants a lot of things for Sri Lanka from Singapore.

The late Lee Kwan Yew went on a sabbatical to refresh himself in a top educational institute that gathers evolving ideas from around the world. Our Premier’s sabbatical is overdue. He has just been speaking of development of 13,000 villages. Has he forgotten the constitutional part on devolution to the provinces? Various provinces are in very various degrees of development and very, very various degrees of repression from the centre. Thus the various provinces hopefully know how to go about sustainable development of their provinces under the various degrees of resstraints.

They still appear to want to continue with that wrong behaviour.

BREXIT referendum is something SL must learn from, about resolving Tamil national question.

Britain was in EU for 40 years. Now, the people have decided to exit and be free and independent.

Also, 40 years ago, the indigenous Tamils of N&E of SL, captured by Britain, independently of the South SL, resolved and voted “ÿes” to have independence.

The GSL must make itself aware that the final say or decision to exit from the EU was NOT with EU but with the people of Britain.

Therefore, the decision for N&E to exit from SL, IS and WILL BE that of the people of NE only, and NOT SL or its government.

Unless the GSL addresses the Tamil national issue speedily and appropriately, according to the legitimate rights and expressed wishes of the people of N&E, SL will have demands for “NEEXIT” or “TEEXIT” .
