The claim that the “Western Mafia” has a stranglehold on traditional opinion in Sri Lanka in opposing the free distribution of the “Kali-Anma Paeni” or the “Hela-Suvaya Dum Hattiya” against the Covid Pandemic is seen to be false by the stand taken on Gentically Modified (GM) products in Sri Lanka. Similarly, the political success achieved by Venerable Rathana and others in banning glyphosate provides added proof of the power of those who support the occult sciences and oppose modern science. The glyphosate ban was reversed only when the tea market was about to collapse, with the agricultural sector having faced a loss several times larger than the loss from the bond scam.

Virtual promises for recent graduates 16 December 2020 01:33 am - 1
The journey to becoming a graduate is certainly not easy in a country like Sri Lanka. If you pass the GCE Advanced Level exam with a high Z-score, you can pursue a degree at a State University. But there are also occasions where even a high Z-score cannot guarantee admission to the programme of your choice due to the limited number of scholarships available.
The secondary and often less desired option is to pursue a degree from a private university, which of course is costly.
Therefore a degree from a State university is still in high demand in Sri Lanka. Despite its numerous benefits, it is unfortunate that it takes several extra years to complete a three-year degree programme at a State university in Sri Lanka.
