Shooting Legends today with Rumesh Rathnayake. In an ODI at MCG, he broke Larry Gomes teeth and in the same game, he hit Clive Lloyd in the head forcing him to call for an helmet. When you tell these to Rumesh he reminds you, ‘Don’t forget I dismissed Viv Richards in that game.’

During the early stages of colonization in 1700, India accounted for around 25% of global GDP At independence in 1947, this had fallen to below 5% That’s what a few hundred years of being colonized can do. #india #colonialism

LTTE supporters & sympathizers like Seeman & Vaiko still have significant power & support in south India. Prabahakaran & the LTTE received huge financial & logistical support from such figures, for operations that targeted civilians in Sri Lanka. Does Thusiyan care? Nope

Middle-class living standards will continue to deteriorate. If concentrations of wealth persist & income inequality grows, in a context of low or stagnant growth, the living standards of the middle class WILL collapse. This is a mathematical guarantee.

In 2023/4, the NPP opposed #OSA with Dr. Harini Amarasuriya & others challenging it in the SC In 2025, a U-turn? Why? There is no salvaging a bad law. Repeal it & initiate law reforms to address gaps Online Safety Act: Govt. seeks public input for amendments themorning.lk/articles/a8KtV…

Apparently semi-knockdown vehicles (SKD) - basically locally assembled motor vehicles, are taxed at the same rate as a fully assembled vehicle imports? Does this make sense or no

Whenever the NPP Twitter fandom start getting nervous & want to deflect, they find something or the other to do with Sajith Premadasa or Harsha De Silva, just so they can like each others posts and feel positive 🤣

The success of China’s economy is being driven by the development of human capital & expertise. China has been spending over 4% of GDP on education for over a decade, even prior to this it was 3-3.5%. Around 35% of tertiary enrollment is in vocational schools.
