The Worst

Two bodies were fished out of the canal at Baudhaloka Mawatha today. Apparently they were working at a house in the neighbourhood. Police are carrying out investigations at the moment. I have no doubt that they will catch the criminals responsible. The Police in Sri Lanka do an exceptional job when the job is not politically related. When a politician is behind a crime, the investigations often lead to to dead ends...and only reason this happens is because the politician has something to say about it. We can only hope that the situation will change now that the country has a new beginning. I think that it can be safely said that all Sri Lankans are optimistic about such changes.

The Best

Sri Lankan Police have arrested 2 Americans in connection with financial fraud in America. Escaping from officials in America, these two "financiers" fled to switzerland where the US officials lost track of them. Both governments are currently in deliberation as to whether they are to be extradited to the US or tried in Sri Lanka. Either way, it looks like justice has caught up to these individuals giving the rest of the Earth's population lots to cheer about. Quite frankly, I detest financial manipulations and extortions of this kind and think that all the banks should "arrested" as well. They are as guilty as the Morgans in swindling innocent people of their hard earned money.
