Hon Mr. Jeevan Thondaman MP

Minster for Water Supply

GOSL

Colombo, Sri Lanka

 

Hon Minister,

I like to bring up some key points as you are the Minister for water supply services etc and we all know that Sri Lankans have a carefree attitude in all matters. Please read this letter fully. Let me introduce myself, please.

I am eighty years old and retired in Australia. I lived in various countries. My father was the OIC (Law enforcement officer) in Pundaloya in 1960. I lived as a child in Colombo, Kamburupitiya, Matara etc. When I come to Pundaloya on my college vacation I use to visit the tea estate and talk to the workers. It was disheartening to know their living style. They have only one meal a day which is Kanchi.  I am sending you a copy of the report about how they were brought to Ceylon. I hope you will read this report and enlighten your knowledge on the estate workers.

Tea estate workers are known as foreign exchange earners and hard-working people in SL. However, they have been treated like animals by the SL government and the Sri Lankan people.

I have appealed to politicians previously about their income etc, but in vain. Teachers from my village (Vaddukoddai) were in the Hill country teaching children in schools in the 50s. They also told me about the bad way the Upcountry Tamils were treated. Sri Lankan politicians only want the votes from the people, once they get elected with their votes, they forget the people. Politicians have an obligation to society which they do not observe and execute. Jaffna men are traitors and have no feelings for these workers. Now that you have several Ministers who have the power: why not use your empowerment to help these poor estate workers?

Recently I read that they use contaminated water. I have read through the research papers and found them correct. The process is that when research is done and the final paper is submitted, then the outcome shall be that the Minister shall execute the recommendations to keep the environment safe. However, when the research is completed, the person gets his PhD and gets a good salary and that's the end of the process. Everyone forgets the topic and the research outcome.

I am not blaming you but all the politicians are like that. They are proving that SL is an idiotic country which has no meaning to true safe living. Someone stole Rs. five million from the Central Bank Vault.

 

What is the problem with the water in Sri Lanka?

Quote:

The primary problems concerning water resources in Sri Lanka are the depletion and degradation of the resource caused by various anthropogenic activities. Surface inland waters in urban areas are polluted heavily with domestic sewage and industrial effluents and in rural areas with agricultural runoff.

 

Abstract: Man-made pollution and environmental degradation pose a severe challenge to all Sri Lankans. The main water resource problems in Sri Lanka are due to various human activities such as agriculture, fossil fuel combustion, urbanization, and industrial and commercial activities.10 Jan 2022

The Causes of Water Pollution

• Industrial Waste. Industries and industrial sites across the world are major contributors to water pollution. ...
• Marine Dumping. ...
• Sewage and Wastewater. ...
• Oil Leaks and Spills. ...
• Agriculture. ...
• Global Warming. ...
• Radioactive Waste

 

We all know that people dump anything into the river.

This is the link to the JayawardenaPura University research paper:

G.G.T. Chandrathilake

Department of Forestry and Environmental Science, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka

http://journals.sjp.ac.lk/index.php/fesympo/article/view/93
Evaluation of drinking water supply schemes in estate sector: A case study on Telbedda estate, Sri Lanka; G.G.T. Chandrathilake, B. de Silva

In the North, people build septic sewerage tanks to collect the sewerage. These pits are supposed to be more than 25 feet away from a well. However, people bribe the inspectors and get it approved with no understanding of the consequential damage the environment will do to them and their children. Some of the Insopectos were nick-named Mr. Twenty-five rupees.

This is how Sri Lanka manages and controls its environmental management. Ridiculous.

Mr Mano Ganesan is another politician who has no interest in his people. As far as he is elected he is okay, forgets the voters and aspires for a ministerial portfolio. Why not bring the issues to the parliament, please?

Jaffna politicians are useless and they all should go home. Young people like you should enter politics.

I lived in Pundaloya and know the system and the environment.

 

As a young politician and a Minister, please help those poor workers who earn foreign exchange for the country. I may take this up with an international appropriate authority on environmental and discrimination issues. I am a researcher on environmental, discrimination, oppression, and political issues.

Research procedures are not followed in Sri Lanka. I may be wrong if action has been taken.

Thanking you,

 

Yours Sincerely

Protect the Political and Economic Disintegration

of Sri Lanka as a Nation/Republic

1.    Tamils Disunity

 

Tamils failed in their policies and actions right from 1833 when the three kingdoms were merged as Ceylon. Sequentially Tamils failed in their actions due to a shortfall in the perception and the degree of hatred among them, including the inborn caste consciousness. The Ramanathan Arunachalam so-called virtual royals failed in their goal, vision, and mission. From 1833 to 1948 about 115 years these fools did not have the perception to plan their goal. From 1948 to 2023 for the last 75 years, the Tamil elites and the imprudent elite politicians did not have a plan to achieve their goal, because they did not have a goal. They were conducting theoretical politics among the Tamils. Arunachalam died on 9/1/24 and Ramanathan died on 26/11/30. These two created a division among the Tamils.

 

Early days Failure. SJVC, Ramanathan Failed. Whose fault is this due to

 

2.    VVT Smugglers group

 

Then came the smugglers from Valvettiturai (VVT). They tried to brainwash the Tamils in the name of Tamil Eelam followed by SJVC. They were driven by Amirthalingham and the Federal Party. They cheated India and failed in their struggle. Para-LTTE Tamils in foreign countries earned their share and bought supermarkets, and shopping complexes, conference halls, and made their assets. Therefore, virtually the whole lot of Tamils are culprits and thieves. Therefore, the second lot thieves (LTTE) failed in their struggle for victory because of their lack of knowledge and disobedience. Prabakaran, as considered is not a wise person, except a killer and a rowdy. He did have a goal with no plan which led him to failure.

 

LTTE Failed. Whose fault is this due to

 

3.    Provincial Council

 

Then came the Provincial Councils. Some illogical and capricious guys were selected to be the PC Councillors. One Minister allowed the dumping of human waste and hospital waste in Kallundai. He claimed that he had a Diploma in Environmental science from India which is questionable. The wastes were not buried but dumped as an overlay in Kallundai. This guy may not know the difference between Nox and Sox and CH₄. Chief Minister was not knowledgeable in Politics but wears Thiruneeru on his forehead to show that he is religious. He did not know or understand to mature in politics. All four ministers were clueless and fraudulent, and the writer has evidence. The CM returned the budgetary funds allocated to NPC which is foolish. No development was done. Tamil Diaspora was not interested in developing the North but shouted for TE. The truth is that the elites select only from the upper caste to be politicians. The caste system was detrimental to the progress of the Tamils. How will a Council progress when they select a foolish woman like Ananthi Sasitharan as a fraudulent minister? Those elected for the NPC engaged in marketing themselves for the next election but did not plan their activities for the duration of the life of the council in developing the province. After getting the PC, Tamils were foolish enough not to take advantage of the allocation of power to start development. Tamil Diaspora was focused on benefits. Whereas the Councillors focussed on marketing them for the next election while enjoying the power allocated to them.

 

And, the Provincial councils failed. Whose fault is this due to

 

Tamils shall think about whether they need these elite fools to lead them.

 

4.    Hon. Douglas Devananda (DD)

 

Hon DD, although engaged in the struggle, had superior knowledge in politics, and struggles and was able to foresee events in the future.

 

Hon DD planned his vision and mission to serve the people. People shall understand this concept and mission and join Hon DD and travel along with Hon DD to achieve development and peace.

 

Hon DD did not engage in marketing himself by accepting garlands, wearing super suites etc. Hon DD wears a simple Veshti and Shirt like Kamarajar and Ghandhi. He sits with people to solve their problems. Hon DD is mature in planning for goals, developing vision and mission and taking it through to completion.

 

Quote from Web: Political Science is an art because its study relies on intuition and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions or make judgments on a given political phenomenon.

 

Hon DD believes in intuition and deductive reasoning to conclude. Tamils must think to whom they should fling their support. Religious postulants cannot achieve goals. Hon DD is Reliable, Flexible and has the required Expertise, combination of the three leads him to Capable politician.

 

5.    Conclusion

 

It is now fair to conclude that the previous politicians were not honest in politics for people but were focused on caste oppression and differentiation and played double politics with split personalities; one face in the North and a second face in Colombo. They had no conviction in delivering their obligation to the people. They have no far-sightedness to conclude how long their terrorism/opposition can last. Further, most of them are aged and are in their 80s. Maybe they are drawn into amnesia and oblivion. They shall be magnanimous to leave politics and allow the young ones from the University of Jaffna (UOJ) to enter the stream.

 

What the political environment needs is graduates from the UOJ and/or UOB who are honest and brilliant in politics, geography, human psychology, sociology, and history, to join the current force Hon DD, who has contributed to the Tamils vastly and establish a peace stream for human survival.

 

This appeal comes after addressing the 75 years of failure by our previous aged incompetent nincompoops who have destroyed our nation. The current economic environment in SL divulges that it is not a proper environment to conduct elections, as people are suffering and attempting suicide. Further, several levels of governance are detrimental to the economy of a small country like SL. The environment has been drawn into Unionism, racism socialism, leftism, and religious fundamentalism with slowing, breaking productivity. Unionism is taking control of the country which is damaging to the economy. The main cause for this is people’s awareness of the economy, finance, and the Central Bank Structure. Central Bank is the nerve centre of a country and people should know the events in CB. Productivity in SL has dropped, however, racism and religious fanatism have increased. Science will dictate that God is something to give peace of mind to the people, but not give money. Law corrects actions.

An increase in productivity will improve the GDP and then the economic status of the country. The elections for the PCs can then be conducted. As it is with the downfall of the economy, how do we propose to run the PCs and maintain the people happy?

 

Let the country be not foolish enough to have PC elections to have a second layer of governance which is detrimental to the economy. Having the local government elections when the GOSL parliament approves with intelligent thinking is acceptable.

 

Readers are requested to refer to the excellent research thesis by Priyantha W. Mudalige and Chaminda Abeysinghe.

 

Governance is different from administrative functions.

 

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359001868_Assessing_the_Efficacy_of_the_Provincial_Councils_System_on_its_Local_Service_Delivery_Issues_Challenges_and_the_Way_Forward

 

Hope the parliament will be wise enough to govern efficiently and elevate SL to be self-sufficient.

 

Let the Tamils prove that they can improve the economy and the GDP to a substantial level. Let the Tamils prove that the PCs will operate with reliable honest dedication. Let them prove that there will be no caste oppression and discrimination. Let the Tamils prove that SL can operate the PCs with the current economy.

 

With the current economy, it is not fair and reasonable to have the PC election and PC governance just for the 13% of the Ceylon Elite Tamils to enjoy power at the expense of the suffering of 74 % Sinhalese. It is not Humanism. Let the Tamil elites surf through history and the economy of SL. What have the elite contributed to SL? Billions of dollars’ worth damage and nothing else.

                                     Is Sri Lanka Driven to Another Jungle Burma

It seems that since the Sinhala rowdies plundered Tamils in the South is around 40 years and currently their resources have dried out. The military and the fanatics may be instigating another racial violence so that they can steal another round-up of assets, money, and Gold from Tamils in the South. This is cheating as SL has become a beggar. Some illiterate army soldiers wear Buddhist clergy robes with arms and terrorise Muslim civilians in the East.

It may be also possible that the army rowdies wear Buddhist clergy robes, carry revolvers, and threaten Muslims and Tamils in the North to place Buddha statues. These Buddhist clergy should be exported to Burma or China. Buddha was a born Hindu in the Shakniya community who were pure Hindus worshipping Lord Shiva. Buddha, because of pure jealousy against Sanskrit preached Pali or some language and his belief was exported out of India.

A civilised educated race will purchase lands in the North to settle rather than the government and army terrorise to settle Sinhala rowdies by force.

Most of the acts by the Sinhala rowdies indicate that they suffer from psychiatric issues.

1.     Change names of places to pure Sinhala only like Nagadeepa etc.

2.     Remove Tamil scripts from name Boards.

3.     By forcing Sinhala rowdies to settle in Tamil areas rather than purchase from the owners.

4.     Steel fifty lakhs from the Central Bank which is a pure act by thieves.

5.     Plant Buddha statues all over the North, the place does not own by the Sinhala rowdies.

6.     One fool in Colombo says that Sri Lanka did not preach Hinduism at all at any time. This guy is an illiterate who claims he studied at Royal College but did not get through (O) level but has money stolen from the Tamils by his parents. He used to claim Ravenna is a Sinhalese, while history claims Ravenna is a Tamil who worshipped Lord Siva. GOSL is keen to change everything to Sinhala origin.

7.     The 2021 year taught SL a lesson by making them go bankrupt by the politicians. If they do not correct themselves and become a civilised race, then IMF may not give loans to uncivilised lots who practice jungle power. SL need to be more cautious in their practice to change to a civilised race.

8.     Still, politicians practice bribery and corruption.

9.     Settle rowdies in the North by force.  Civilized races will purchase land from the Tamils who own in the north to settle the rowdies. Why not make a smooth transition? Why do they make everything impulsive like the former FOOL SWRDB?

With the country gone bankrupt and living on loans, do the people have no brain to think that they are on loans like beggars driving super deluxe cars?

Let us be realistic and believe what Buddha said. Peace rather than violence. However, think that the countries that preach Buddhism, the country is more violent. Like Burma, China, SL etc.

If any more racial riots breakout, then the consequence would be catastrophic.

  

Citizens Obligations and Commitments to their Country

1.     General

In general, everyone assumes that the literacy rate in their country will dictate the degree of democratic candour, economic sustainability, and growth of their country. Sri Lanka literacy rate in 2020 was 92.38%, an 0.13% increase from 2019. What is literacy rate? People ages 15 and above who can both read and write with understanding a short simple statement about their everyday life. World’s technology and politics is increasing in the current era along with growth of other things. There is a significant difference between a person/group in the 15^th century and the 21^st century. Along with technology and economic growth, people are expected to understand the environment and the risks in life. Writers’ assumption is that literacy rate is linked to perceptive ability. Quote: What are perceptive abilities? If someone calls you perceptive, they mean you are good at understanding things or figuring things out. Perceptive people are insightful, intelligent, and able to see what others cannot see or figure out. The communities in SL suffer significantly on perceptive ability and the politicians take advantage of this shortfall for their own advantage and achievement. Although people can read and write, otherwise they are dumb in understanding and figuring things out. It is up to the primary and secondary schools to teach and make the students enhance their perceptive ability. The primary and secondary groups must talk sense and not make people dumb. Parents who are educated and perceptive should help their children to enhance their neural activity and ability.

2.     Ancient Politics

Since literacy rate and perceptive ability were down the governing authorities did not want uneducated or non-perceptive people to understand politics and economics. Only elites and rich people were allowed to enter politics. Elites are rich people. This made the society weak in perceptual ability. For example, the ancient people in the North were Nagas. The migrants who were brought by King Magha of Orissa were mostly Malayali and Pallavars, majority being Malayali. The Kingdom made the natives, Nagas to do menial work and stamped them low castes. Today’s low caste people in the North and Vanni are Nagas and Veddas. History will prove the caste system in Kerala.

Similar events occurred in the South. Malayali’s were brought to the Central Kingdom, and they became up-country Sinhalese, and the others, the Yakkas and the Veddas became the low-country Sinhalese. The division gave birth. However, the perceptive ability did not enrich and improve due to oppression by the kingdom. The Yakkas were addressed as “Holman”, meaning Ghosts. The author lived in Kamburupitiya in the fifties.

3.     Current Politics

As years passed, the system was cleaned, and the education quality was improved. However, the people’s common sense did not improve. The political system interfered with the Universities and Colleges. Students were brain washed with political ideologies, like, socialism and communism. The quality of education in the economics and political perspective was not induced and made mandatory to the students at least up to year nine or ten level students. Every young from the poor family wanted socialism or communism with no understanding of the negative deleterious economic impact to the country. SriLanka did not advocate “competition” among the industries. People interpreted “Democracy” in a different perspective.

Democracy is governance by the people elected by the people. Therefore, the people who elect and the people who are elected have a responsibility and obligation and commitment to the country. Sri Lanka is far away from the practice of “democracy”. Citizens still need more education and understanding of governance and commitment (obligation) to their country.

4.     SL Governance, Democracy and Practice

Governance in SL offer free medical, hospital facilities, medicines, and free surgery. Subsidised transport and free education to students. Most of the services are offered at subsidised rate or free to people. Citizens should understand this part of the governance service and shall pay the taxes due to the government. The important quality of this benchmarks is to understand that the GOSL satisfies their obligation to the people, however, people shall be clear in their conscience of this assistance and honour their commitments.

The issues in governance is that the politicians pay money as collaterals for every vote they buy. The politicians then play politics to draw the money paid as collaterals via bribery and commissions. Who is at fault? The intelligence and perceptual ability of the people appeals here in that the people do not understand the impact of bribery received as collateral. “Democracy fails here”. This shortfall is practiced in the third world and developing world only. India and SL are heavy on collaterals during election. The constraint here is that unwanted elements who have no knowledge of political science/education can creep into the parliament and practice the evils. The government fails when unwanted elements plant Buddha statues in areas not appropriate to religious activity. Buddha does not pay their salaries, medicines, and supply rice and ambul thiyal etc. Buddha does not postulate technological advancement. Buddha prepared some philosophy during his young age, which is yet to be proven, and was developed along the years by philosophers which they will not agree. Same with the Tamils also. Tamils spend significant amount of money to build temples, have poojas etc, neglecting in the development of science and technology. Do the people cogitate that Buddha and Lord Shiva are going to develop Sri Lanka? Development is man made and must be completed by humans with brain. Humanisms plays important role here. All these shortfalls transpire because of the shortfall of intelligence and perceptual abilities in the citizens. Majority of SriLankans suffer in the following: Perceptual ability, Self-motivation, creativity, innovation, self-discipline, and flexibility. The following are considered key imperative to Politicians:

a.      Demonstration of accepting responsibility during challenging and changing situation and accept that “Change is a Constant”. Hon. Kanchana Wijesekera, Minister for Energy and Power should be commended on this element of personal attributes.

b.      Hon Minister Douglas Devananda should be commended for accepting changing and challenging situations and promoting Unity. Hon DD shall be given adequate support by the GOSL. Hon DD’s personal  attributes are positive and supportive

c.      Lateral thinking and believe that behavioural pattern inflicts upon leadership quality.

d.      Trust that Science gives us knowledge and Art is the application of the skills and knowledge.

e.      Shall have investigative and conceptualising ability.

f.       Finally, citizens shall look after the Roots and the Trees will be safe.

There are politicians like Sarath Weerasekara and Wimal Weerawanse who have a long way to climb up to be good politicians and the two are only saturated with racial tradition only. Have a severe shortfall in understanding economics, politics, GDP, growth, and democracy.  Always jabber and yammer about Tamil race and Buddhism.

SriLanka may have to change her name from Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka to some other useful virtual name, because there is no Democracy, Socialism, or Humanism that prevails in SL. What is required is pure Capitalism for people to work and produce turnover which may have a vision horizon of further 25 years.
