passing laws, the black-white-filled legal education council found a panacea to
all these ills: GO BACK TO ENGLISH MEDIUM QUICKLY WITHIN 3 YEARS between
2022-24 (Government Gazette 30/12/2020).
I consider this a
sickening decision; one more example of Sinhale (Ceylon) going down the drain.
This council of legal education is part of the Evil Triangle (politician-officer-NGO/citizen),
