Weighing 14kg with a 3.3m length and 3.1m wingspan, this remarkable project showcases the talent, dedication, and engineering potential of Sri Lankan innovators. Wishing him many more successful flights ahead! #SriLanka #RCAircraft #Aviation #Innovation

Sri Lanka has begun a long-overdue modernization of its public bus system. The pilot operation began in April 2026 with 10 accessible low-floor buses, and 104 additional Metro buses are scheduled to arrive by August 2026. This is how Thashmika Arosh, a university student with a disability, experienced his first journey on a Metro bus. For decades, wheelchair users in Sri Lanka have had almost no practical access to public buses. In this moment, the conductor assists Thashmika in boarding — a simple act, but one that represents something much bigger: a public transport system beginning to recognize that mobility should be for everyone. Thank you, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Minister Bimal Rathnayake, for advancing this valuable and much-needed project. Modern public transport is not only about new buses. It is about dignity, accessibility, and equal access to opportunity. 🇱🇰 #CleanSriLanka #BusModernization #SriLanka

Proposed rental housing laws will discourage individual homeowners from renting out single units, while gradually pushing the market toward large corporate landlords. This shift will reduce supply, increase rents, and ultimately hurt tenants, not protect them. This is not a tenant-protection policy. It is a market-distortion policy that creates barriers to entry and concentrates the rental industry in the hands of a few.

Don’t ask questions about asset declarations? Why? — We have every right to question any issues in the asset declarations of elected officials. Otherwise, what is the point of publishing those declarations in the public domain by CIABOC? Why are the so-called anti-corruption NPP ministers afraid of this? Thank you, Kalindu, for asking this from Handunnetti.

The Sri Lankan government has officially informed Parliament that the Japan-funded LRT project is unlikely to begin construction within the next four years. The reasons given mirror those stated during the Gotabaya administration: 1.Insufficient funding (සල්ලි නෑ) 2.Lack of efficiency(ජනගහණයේ තරමට ප්රමාණවත් නෑ) As an alternative, the government is now planning to expand Colombo’s road network. This is a wrong decision!

Ali Sabry(M U M Ali Sabry) and Talal Rafi(Talal Rafi), two very smart people, have been saying what I’ve been saying for years: Sri Lanka must integrate with the Indian economy. Big league. India is right next door — a huge, booming economy, 1.4 billion people, tremendous opportunities. If we don’t get smart and work with India, we’re going to lose. Big time. I’ve always been a strong supporter of India–Sri Lanka economic integration. Always. That’s how you build prosperity, that’s how you win. But what do we have? We’ve got the NPP/JVP, SLPP, SLFP — all the same old LEFTIST clowns — corrupting people’s minds with their Anti-Indian, Anti-FTA, protectionist, import-substitution nonsense. Total disaster. These idiots are killing our potential. They’re keeping the country poor while the rest of the world is getting rich. What we need & we need it fast — is a STRONG + BOLD political movement. People who aren’t afraid to tell the truth, educate the people, and fight for integration with India, China, ASEAN — everybody! We can’t let stupid, small-minded politicians hold us back anymore. It’s time to think big. Open up the economy. Win again!

According to Hiru TV, buses filled with NPP supporters halted on highways to have lunch on their way to the May Day rally—an apparent violation of highway laws. But let’s not expect an inquiry. So this is the ‘political culture change’ they promised? මරු 😂
