The Central Bank bomb from across the road

by S. Skandakumar
As the clock moved towards 10.50 a.m ,on January 31, 2021, my mind went back 25 years to that fateful day.
It was a Wednesday, and having finished our weekly meeting of the Parent Board of Directors in the Board Room on the eighth floor of Steuart House around 10.30 am, we sat around to exchange views on matters of a non-official nature as was customary, before returning to our rooms.
Enjoying the view of the sea beyond the Central Bank that faced us from the opposite side of Janadipathi Mawatha, was a favourite pastime of ours on such occasions.

Federation of Media Employees' Trade Unions publishes Handbook for Journalists – The Island

by Saman Indrajith
Writing a handbook for a profession of public and social occupation is not easy and this is true for the profession of journalism which is considered an occupation that both supports and sustains the credibility of the decision-making system and drives its functions.
Compiling a handbook for media professionals is hard because it can never be a completed task owing to many practical reasons including the difficulty of providing a clear-cut, all-agreed definition of what journalism is. It has been defined as a job, an art and a profession among many others.

Personal contacts with top Burgher cops and other Public Servants of 50-years ago

by Senior DIG (Rtd.) Edward Gunawardene

Perera, Sumith de Silva and Manel Fonseka have rekindled in me memories of the many public figures of the Burgher community, particularly police officers at the time I joined the police in the late fifties of the last century. The mix-up in photos of Col. F. C. de Saram and Canon R. S. de Saram and the references to Burgher bits were indeed amusing.
When I joined the police, the induction process of new entrants to gazetted rank, required probationary ASPs to be introduced by appointment to senior public officers including the Governor General, Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Attorney General etc. As such, with my batchmates before long I was able to meet several amiable public servants of the Burgher community. ....
