Fundamentals, Rudiments, Modus operandi that limit the progress of Sri Lanka

Many intellectuals and academics have written articles dissecting the causes etc of Sri Lankan ethnic issues, etc. My views have been posted in this article for Sri Lankans to read, digest and value for our next generation to progress and develop. The Sri Lankan culture is integrated with heavy piling on religion and assumes fanatic religious beliefs. Whether it is the Sinhalese, Tamils or the Muslims the religious and cultural beliefs are heavy, which curtails progress. I may say that in some way, the majority of Sinhalese were infected with racial beliefs and nervousness. Example: We can go back to 1956 to September 2024.

Please read my article on https://neuronmind.blogspot.com/2023/12/birth-and-growth-of-bribery-corruption.html.

The first shortfall in our society is Unity. The reason for the gap in unity is due to the avidity of power. Fundamentally, it is the avidity of political power that embraces the Sri Lankans to have missed the boat for the last 77 years. The absence of positive reasoning has contributed to the fall of SL from 1948 to 2024. To win power, SWRDB introduced the Sinhala-only bill. Being at Oxford, he did not have the perception to know what could affect his society with no knowledge of English. Then came the Woman PM Srimavo. She introduced the standardisation bill to limit the growth of other race,s inflicting growth of technological know-how in the country. Muslims on one side and Tamils on the other side. Tamils were worst in that they created issues to limit the progress and economy of the country. With the birth of LTTE, the economic downfall commenced. In the Sihala quarter, every Tom, Dick and Hary wanted to become the PM, and now The President. New parties were born, causing heavy liability to the country. The illiterates did not know the government spends a heavy sum in conducting elections and maintaining the MPs. At one time a Minister under the Srimavos government, Alidong Sirisena, held a portfolio. He cannot even write his name properly.

The opposition party claims that they can harm the Tamils more than the current government. That’s how SWRDB and Srimavo came into power. Mahinda Rajapaksa came into power to eliminate the LTTE. Hence, the government did not function on a democratic platform, but on a racial platform.

The Tamils were worse than the Sinhala quarter. Tamils did not bother about the country the economy or the production. The way they operated was to destroy Sri Lanka. The first terrorist was SJVC.

Characteristics of Tamils:

They are very caste conscious. Religious fanatics. Even if they have no food to eat, they will build temples. Every caste wants to build its temple. This is the reason for temples are built on every roadside. Every caste wants taller Kopurams (i.e. Tower). The Malayali Pandarams oppress the Tamils. The Pandarams go by the name of “Vellalar”. They are not patriots of their own country. Wherever they are they learn the local language. i.e. Norwegian, German, Dutch, Portuguese etc. However, they were reluctant to learn Sinhala. Now they have learnt Sinhala cos they speak in Sinhala in the Parliament. For one million Tamils in the N&E, why do they want Tamil Eelam/More power? The main reason is that only they can control the development of the lower caste Tamils. Now they are jealous cos the lower caste Tamils are developing in knowledge and wealth.

For example: GOSL had the NPC to function in 2013. What happened? Bribery and corruption caused the NPC to mismanage the Council.

As an example, I wish to give a summary of the KCW Officers Club. For fifteen years the club was operating at a loss. The reason is that the officers were not paying for the heavy drinks they bought. The youngsters elected me as the Social Club Secretary. Within one year I made a profit of One thousand five hundred Rupees plus gave them a free Christmas party with free drinks. I was there only for one year. From the factory, workers steel items like welding rods, bulbs, cables etc. In general, Tamils are lawbreakers. I was with KCW for only eight years (1969-1977) and I promise that most of the workers were not honest, but thieves.

Provincial Councils will push the country to the Sewer as far as the economy is concerned. There are two levels of government. (i) Central Government (ii) Local Government. The country does not need another level of governance.

Since 2024, the current NPP government headed by Cde AKD has been doing an excellent job. Citizens are becoming cohesive. The central government is headed by Cde AKD. Let the people of Sri Lanka elect the NPP to the majority of the Local Government Councils to prove that they are united and cohesive. Tamils have a long way to go to prove that they are a good community and a race.

Tamils do not practice a reasoning process. E.g. In the English and European cultures, the parents teach their children to act on the reasoning process before they take due action. Therefore, from childhood, children practice thinking of a reasoning process before they decide to act. The Russians are incompetent in some ways that they have not thought of humanity in the world except Putin wanted more power and land space. The absence of positive reasoning here plays an important part. Trump’s actions are positive in some ways (deportation of illegal migrants), except leading to a failure in the majority of his decisions without reasoning. This is where leaders fail in their decisions. E.g. Putin, Trump & Musk.

If SJVC had an intelligent brain with perception then the Tamils would not be in this dilemma now. In general, Tamils are not a race that carries out “reasoning” before they act.

---

Quote: “Perception is an active mental act. It is a dynamic, dialectical conflict between the self-perspective transformation and external vectors of power bearing upon us. That which we perceive is a balance between these antagonists”. (Ref: Understanding Conflict and War: vol. 1: the dynamic psychological field, chapter 11, by R.J. Rummel)  

Humans perceive different results about the same state, as perceptions vary from person to person. People assign different meanings to what they perceive.  This is why conflicts arise. (Kanthar Balanathan) 

Most Tamils do not believe in intellectual discussion but in physical actions (physical abuse/violence e.g. Archuna Ramanathan).

Although all human males are born with ≈1.5 kg of brain, not all perceive the same thing in the same perspective, the same way.

Good examples of Not reasoning are: Archuna Ramanathan, Sugash Kanagaratnam, Sritharan,

Most doctors who enter politics have no brain, intelligence and perception.

Hence, there is no necessity for another level of governance. This is from the experience of the Northern Provincial Council and the level of bribery and corruption.

Let a team of political and economic specialists sit down and work out a solution to be acceptable to all races. No illiterates come with proposals. 

 President Trump:

We know that you are deporting all illegal migrants. The well-known fraud thief, Basil Rajapaksa who is the brother of Mahinda Rajapaksa, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, and Chamal Rajapaksa who drove the country to rock bottom zero dollars is now in the USA. After the election in 2024, when he knew that none of his partners won the elections he quickly left the country back to the USA. He may be holding a green card. Please for god sake drive him out of the USA and deport him back to Sri Lanka. He may be a heavy liability to the USA as he constantly thinks of illegal moves and criminal activity. Further, most of the underground world criminal gangs from Sri Lanka operate from Dubai to murder their opponents in Sri Lanka.

Mr. Elen Musk; This is a request from you also. Please advise the President, to eject and deport all criminals from the USA. Deporting Basil Rajapaksa is a priority.

Equipment belonging to KCW

This appeals to the GOSL to investigate and tell the people what happened to the equipment that was in the KCW factory since its closure in 1990.

The Presidents, PM and MPs who were involved during this time:

·         Chandrika Bandaranaike

·         Ranil Wickremasinghe

·         Mahinda Rajapaksa

·         Srisena

·         Gotabaya Rajapaksa

·         Add Basil Rajapaksa

Equipment in the factory to be explained;

2 x 3.3kV Waste Gas fan Motors

2 x 3.3kV Mill fan motors

2 x 3.3kV Raw Mill motors

3 x 3.3kV Cement mill motors

1 x Quary station motors – breaker

1 x 3.3kV Simens switch panel with CBs

1 x Parsons 3.3KV switch panel and gears

1 x 415 V old switchroom switchboard

1 x 415V Siemens switchboard

1 x standby generator 415V and switchboard

LV switchboards

Control room switchboard (Kiln)

Electrostatic precipitator transformer

Stainless steel HV electrodes used on one precipitator

Precipitator transformer

3.3kV/ 415V Transformers

Weigh feeders and associated belt conveyors.

Station LV switchboards-several

Airflow pipes about 800mm in diameter – Mill fan circuit

Kiln No 1 & 2

Cyclones 1 & 2

Oil circuit equipment

All the LV motors

Kiln 1 Scherage motor

Cement flow pipes to the silos and the associated FK pumps.

Compressors.

HP Oil pumps for the Kiln

 

There was speculation that LTTE stole some LV motors to India and they may have taken the Cement pipes to manufacture Cannon.

 

If these pieces of equipment were sold to a private contractor, the funds should have been deposited into the GOSL account. If it was a grand theft, the thieves should be stripped of their civic rights.

Planning for Revitalisation of KCW Zone

I wish to introduce myself before I proceed with my concepts and notions. I am 82 years of age, retired and live in Australia. I was employed as a Works Engineer (Electrical) at the Ceylon Cement Corporation (KCW) from 1969 to 1977. During my period we had several issues with production. (i) loss of production as a result of several voltage dips, (ii) Electrostatic Precipitator malfunctioning as a result of high temperature of the raw meal dust and due to the barbed wire corrosion. I submitted proposals of solutions, and one was completed. The solution I proposed was the installation of Short Circuit Limiting Coupling (SLC)- (GEC) at the sending end of the 33kV Chavakacheri power line at Chunnakam. This line was passing through a saline area (Kaithady) causing flashover at the insulators during summer seasons. This equipment will mitigate the fault current on the line due to flashover. The two industries should have completed a Cost Benefit Analysis before making a final decision. The financial division was not in favour of DCF studies then. Not sure whether this project was completed.

Further, I had issues with the Burners (Production staff) as they were only 6^th /8^th standard educated staff, and they did not understand what “ionisation” meant. They were clueless staff not even understanding what “parallax” meant. The staff were funny with no patriotism. Even some engineers were clueless. They did not know what Calcium Disilicate and Calcium trisilicate meant. The voltage dips caused the plant to trip twenty to thirty trips. Each trip will cause downtime of at least half to one hour. Heavy loss causes the Cement Corp to lose money.

The closing of the industry in 1990 was the result of the LTTE damages caused during the Insurgency period. The power lines were damaged as the tower bolts were removed by some clueless hoodwinks and dupes.

By the time I left, the quarry had reached a level of more than 40 feet (I may say). Some of us were not happy going further deep as the quarry site was close to the sea.

 

Solution for development of the plant area

Reinvesting a new cement plant at KKS is not a worthy, beneficial and appropriate idea. The site is close to the sea and a tsunami could gulp the area. The silos cannot be reused. Before deciding GOSL could employ a consultant to survey, test and quantify the volume of limestone availability and the period for which the limestone can be used in terms of years. Decide whether it is worth the spend.

Sirs, please forgive me for this statement. (i) Politicians should get involved in this type of work initially to conclude an act of investigation and convey to the people (ii) to decide and approve the capital cost of the project. They should get involved in the political aspect of the project and not in the technical aspect.

This is the mistake made by the previous governments. Politicians get onto the floor to make decisions. An example is the failure of an EHV transformer at Biyagama. During this failure, the politicians were presenting their bullshit facts to the press and made decisions. CEB had to get a German engineer to tell that the tap changer had combustible gas in the oil. One minister ordered the CEB to send the whole turbine to Italy for NDT testing rather than getting the NDT specialist to SL so that Sri Lankan engineers could get trained. These types of idiotic mistakes are made in Sri Lanka only by the previous governments.

An example I can give. I was entrusted with a project worth 6.5 million dollars in NZ. Decommission four gas turbines and install one SFC, four Static exciters, and associated electrical equipment for four generators to start as a motor to function as synchronous condensers for voltage support. We had only one meeting and at the end, the Manager asked me. “Will this work” and I said Yes. No interference from any managers, the General manager, or the Technical manager. I had to present the Cost Benefit analysis study I did and the project brief, only once. The project was completed in eleven months. If it was in SL I may have had to sit and answer questions every day, every hour, perhaps. Why is this? The General management does not trust their staff. How will the country progress? God knows whether in SL they would have given me a project worth $6.5 million. Do the previous government politicians work for a kickback only?

During my period at KKS; Cement Corp brings welders from Germany to weld. Is it because of of lack of intelligence and competence of our staff in SL? Maybe for the politicians to get a commission.

Suggestion

GOSL could employ technical consultants to visit the site at KKS, study the area, and give proposals as to what type of industries could benefit Sri Lanka. GOSL should consider one or two Sri Lankan consulting industrialists also. The silos perhaps cannot be reused. If GOSL may consider employing overseas consultants, one from India and one from European nations. KKS has all modes of transport. (i) Railway, (ii) Sea, (iii) Air (iv) Road.

Maybe GOSL could get a proposal from Baskaran Kandiah also, please. I do not know BK personally or have not met him, except through the media.

Just a thought, the site could be used as a (i) second Port Commission in the North with a comprehensive workshop to serve the Railway, CTB and the oncoming ships and production of valuable equipment/parts for the nation (ii) Commission a comprehensive Textile Factory.

 

Example:

A gentleman named Baskaran Kandiah (BK) invested in an industry estate called REACHA at Kilinochi. I take my hat off to this gentleman. I recommend that he shall not get involved in Tamil politics, but grow as an industrialist and help the nation like Gnanams. Baskaran Kandiah is an asset to Sri Lanka. Maybe GOSL could get a proposal from Baskaran Kandiah also, please. I do not know BK personally or have not met him, except studied through the media.

There was another guy named Subaskaran Alli Rajah (Lyca) who failed in his path, I may say, and he has become a liability to his industry. He invested in Indian cinema and the speculation is that he did not pay his taxes. Subaskaran has become a liability.

 

Conclusion

·         A new Cement plant at the KCW site is not worth it for the country. It may give a negative NPV. What will be the life period of the new cement plant with unknown limestone stock?

·         GOSL should consider another project at this site which will yield income to the country with a sound return on investment with an acceptable life period.

·         The investment should serve multiple industries.

·         GOSL should make sure that the power system supply has no weakness in that no more voltage dips at KKS.

Geopolitics, Human Behavior and – The try-star terrorists

Engr. Kanthar Balanathan, Retired

NATO: Quote; NATO was created in 1949 by the Western world to protect against aggression by Russia. Why did not Russia protest NATO in 1949? Humanity is for peace-loving, cohesive and integrated living , not to kill each other. That’s the difference between animals and humans. Currently, leaders propagate something, however, they practice a different unethical practice against humanity. The question is: Did NATO wage war against any country?

Russia Terrorist #1; Russia played a secret war against capitalistic countries and focused on placing people against one another and dragging countries to support them. I lived in Zimbabwe when a great leader, Robert Mugabe was the PM. Apartheid was introduced by the Russians in SA. There may be reasons for the prohibitions of the natives, however, not valid reasons. However, they introduced a new language known as “Afrikaans”, (a mixture of Dutch and Zulu). The Dutch were on good terms with the Russians then. It was known that Russia gave full technical support to SA. People were against the Russians as Russia was instrumental in the apartheid practice. What the world did not know is that Apartheid was practised in India and Sri Lanka, culturally.

Ukraine; A country that became a republic after the failure of the USSR.

Quote:https://www.reportingukraine.guide/history-of-ukraine-key-events?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv-vnsaD8iwMVlmoPAh1OFxQuEAAYASAAEgJs6PD_BwE

“The period when Ukraine was ruled by the totalitarian Soviet regime was full of tragedies, from forced collectivization and the Holodomors to deportations and cultural oppression.

In 1991, as the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine declared independence and became a free, democratic, and sovereign state within internationally recognized borders. In 2014, these borders were violated by Russia, which illegally occupied Crimea and moved its troops into eastern Ukraine. Since then, the hostilities in eastern Ukraine have not stopped.”

It is known that Russia failed in its principles of governing and had become an invasive occupying country. Example of an autocratic, tyrannical superpower.

Why cannot Russia let Ukraine exist by itself as an independent republic? It is unclear whether Russia can give any excuses for their dogmatic, high-handed military act. Just because Russia has progressed in its industrial, military and digital technology, it does not mean that it could invade any country. Russia is the first arm of terrorism.

USA-Terrorist #2

        I.            USA speaks of democracy, justice, united nation etc. How much of this is factual and genuine? Do they only speak about these on theoretical platforms? USA only attempt to correct others, however, they do not practice. I noticed this tradition at the Chicago airport in 2002. The people in the USA are not from one gene. The invading Europeans and the lot mass murdered millions of Native Americans and conquered their (red Indians) land. However, afterwards, they taught justice, democracy and Law to the world etc. However, they do not practice. The USA was responsible for the desolation and destruction of South America. The USA created most of the international organisations, however, have the orgs been able to correct the country's practice? Today a megalomaniac type person (Trump) has been elected as the president of the USA. It forces people to assume that he has some kind of weakness, and may drive people to postulate that he is suffering from a kind of psychiatric issue. The same goes with Putin.

     II.            Trump is demanding Canada to be the 51^st state of the USA. Canada is a sound democratic practising country, better than the USA. The only mistake they made was to allow refugees into the country. Well, the USA also allowed millions of refugees into their country. How did this happen? Was this a result of bribery and corruption? Trump should allow Canada to be a separate republic to make her own decisions and grow. Any form of aggression may cause the USA to face severe penalties from the World Forum.

  III.            Why has the USA left Cuba to govern by itself? Why not conflate Cuba as the 51^st state of the USA? The USA operated as a lecturer to the world, however, they have failed in their practice. Now they want to recoup their losses through DOGE, sacking staff etc.  The recurrent mistake by Trump is to have appointed Elon Musk as the head of DOGE.

  IV.            Repatriating and deporting the Mexicans is the correct & healthy action by the USA. No complaint about that. The Indians who illegally migrated to the USA via the Darien gap into Panama are culprits and may be criminals. It's justifiable for the USA to deport such Indian criminals. Maybe the USA shall deport all such criminals who entered the USA ASAP to alleviate the economic crisis in the USA. People have seen migrants sleeping on the roadside everywhere in the USA. It is a laughing matter for such criminals to enter the USA and sleep on the roadside. Such homeless roadside bump gatherings do not exist even in India.

    V.            Indian students coming to the USA and Canada for studies are making a serious mistake. For the amount they spend in the USA and Canada, they can easily study in India. India boasts of high-quality education. Then why not study in India? Sri Lanka has good quality education, so why not go to Sri Lankan University for studies?

 VI.            The author of this article is against boat people, illegal immigrants, drug traffickers, and human smugglers.

VII.            While DOGE is involved in efficiency promotion, the money the USA spends is a waste. Already two of Space X rockets have failed. How much does this cost to the USA? How much of the research has become successful? While you all are doing research for the destruction of humankind, have you all thought as to why the moon and Mars have no water and rainforest? Why does not mars have no vegetation? Maybe the planet may have been hit by meteors or the living creatures who lived there may have killed themselves with nuclear bombs. The planet Earth will have the same effect if the planet Earth terrorists engage in nuclear destruction. Already the planet has had two world wars. Further, it is speculated that the USA is planning to dump its nuclear waste in Tasmania, Australia. Why don't they dump them in space at least 200 million miles from Earth? The spacecraft can travel at a speed into space like the Voyager with the waste. It is not clear whether any superpower is already engaged in transporting nuclear waste into space.

VIII.            Before selecting a head for the DOGE, the organization should have interviewed the candidates and corroborated whether the applicant is suitable and talented to direct, manage, and make decisions on behalf of the government. It is a key position and the candidate should have been interviewed and examined at various depths on various topics. Appointing Elon Musk could lead people to assume that it was a nepotism act. Elon Musk as the Head of DOGE is a liability and not an asset. Quote: Nepotism is the act of granting an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives and friends in an occupation or field. These fields can include business, politics, academia, entertainment, religion or health care. In concept, it is similar to cronyism.

  IX.            Do USA scientists think that mankind can move to live on any other planet in the solar system?

    X.            The current speculation about UFOs may be to mislead the public.

  XI.            Already humans have been misdirected about gravity and some say that it is the spacetime curvature that causes gravity. I believe in and follow Isaac Newton's theory of Mechanics and gravitation.

XII.            The USA should not interfere in other country's affairs.

 

 China- Terrorist #3

1.      China is a country which has been feeding the world, I may say. Not free but with collaterals. Also, they have helped third-world countries to develop. However, the collateral they made the countries commit has made the countries suffer. Eg. Sri Lanka. (1) Harbour, (2) airport and others.

2.      The economic downfall in Sri Lanka was because of the foolish thoughts of Mahinda Rajapaksa and China. It could be considered that China cheated and hoodwinked Mahinda Rajapaksa, by bribing, Maybe,

3.      For China, they should endeavour to satisfy the people with adequate food technical support etc.

4.      Trying to swallow Taiwan is a serious mistake by China.

5.      Taiwan/Formosa Quote; (i) https://www.britannica.com/topic/history-of-Taiwan (ii) https://www.taiwan.gov.tw/content_3.php

6.      Taiwan is a separate republic and no country shall invade, which can be considered a raid into a sovereign country. If anyone has the right, then India can invade Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar etc and so on.

7.      China wants to extend its maritime territorial limits with Taiwan within China.

8.      China should continue to help poor nations and not plan to attack any small nations. It will be like a father killing his son.

9.      Why do China’s Naval ships sail around Australia? Australia is not ready for any war. A significant number of Chinese live in Australia. China shall not instigate any racial tension in Australia.

 

North Korea (NK)

Kim Jong Un (KJU) another fat bump madman is the head of NK. People have no food to consume. Education to the wider cross-section of the public is not permitted. People look starved. However, KJU enjoys his food, power and SEX along with the manufacture of nuclear missiles and deadly weapons. North Korea is the military slave of Russia. (quote; https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/north-korea-is-the-big-beneficiary-in-its-military-partnership-with-russia/)

What NK needs is food and people to live in peace, not ballistic missiles.

Conclusion

        i.            If NATO is the dogmatic issue for the European countries, one has to assume as to why Europe is scared. Countries fear Russia’s invasion for power and wealth. Russia is a large continent and it can survive in all aspects. However, they are like the dog in the manger. It could be inevitable that a large meteor may fall on the Russian continent and destroy it.

      ii.            If Ukraine could come forward to give a written assurance to the Russian Federation, the UK, and the USA that Ukraine will not join NATO at any time and will stay neutral like Switzerland and join the NAM.

    iii.            Russia should also give a written assurance that it will not attack Ukraine or neighbouring countries at any time in the future.

    iv.            The USA should give a written assurance that they will not interfere with the European nations including Ukraine, Canada and Greenland.

       v.            The USA should not attempt to gulp any countries and leave them as they are for peace.

    vi.            China should give an assurance that they will not invade Formosa (Taiwan) and give up their military exercises in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

  vii.            Invasive greediness and another world war may leave the planet Earth like Mars and Moon like a barren land without any living beings.

 

 To the Tamil Politicians who intend to contest in the Local Govt. Elections

1.      During the last election, there were approximately over 300 people who contested the election for six MP seats. (Similar to over 300 dogs fighting for six bones.) This is an indication of the illiterate minds of the Tamil politicians. Therefore, let us be clear on the Local government elections. What have you got to offer to the people and the country?

2.      Will you be honest in discharging your duties as a public servant and not be involved in Bar license issues, influencing for position for your relatives?

3.      Will you promote your party politics, however, discharge your duties for the people as a public servant?

4.      Advise the people before elections as to what you can offer the people in terms of progress.

5.      Will you guide the people on proactive progressive work such as fishing, agriculture, technical and computing?

6.      Will you promote caste differences but collective solidarity for the unity of the town, village or municipality?

7.      Will you promote separatism, but unity? Do you think people with “Tamil Arasu” ideology are fit to contest local government elections?

8.      Will you support bribery and corruption, but be free from such evils?

9.      Will you encourage people to be involved in chicken farms, coconut plantations and backyard agriculture by the people?

10.  Do you consider that politicians must actively engage with their constituents to understand their needs and concerns? This involves attending community meetings, holding public forums, and maintaining open lines of communication.

11.  Do you agree that you will be responsible for ensuring the provision of essential public services such as education, healthcare, sanitation, and public safety by advising the Central government? This includes managing budgets and resources effectively.

12.  Do you believe in politicians creating and enforcing laws and regulations that address specific issues within their communities? This can include zoning laws, environmental regulations, and public health policies.

13.  Will you play a crucial role in promoting local economic development by supporting small businesses, attracting investments, and creating job opportunities within the local government area?

14.  Will you maintain transparency and accountability in your actions and decisions? This includes being open about their policies, decisions, and use of public funds.

15.  Will you promote social cohesion and social equity and not create divisions among political parties and people of different visions?
