It's the first time a senior govt member said anything publicly about the LRT fiasco, albeit in response to a question. He didn't evade it. In Sri Lanka-#Japan relations, this and the cancellation of the MoU related to the East Container Terminal were elephants in the room.
To say the LRT matter could've been handled better is an understatement. The #Japanese govt was blindsided. @TimesOnlineLK followed it from the start.
