The Worst

SSP Vaas Gunewardene of the CCD, his son Ravindu, and 9 other police officers were arrested in the assault of SLIIT student Nipuna Ramanayake today. Apparently, Ravindu was a junior at SLIIT. It seems that some sort of brawl had happened after exams, and the kid decides to get his father's Police buddies to help beat the crap out of Nipuna. Nipuna is related to a minister, and that's where the s*** really hit the ceiling. Now, mister SSP and son along with his 9 buddies are really in trouble.

It really is a power struggle of who has the most influence; the SSP or the minister. Looks like this time, the minister prevails.

The Best

With the entire country under government control, the census will be the first one to include the whole country with accurate numbers from the north and east finally making it to the board. The current population is estimated to be around 20 million. For those interested, the breakdown of the percentages of the different races in Sri Lanka are as follows:

Sinhalese = 74%
