I finally watched the famous advertisement of Watawala Tea from Sri Lanka that so many appeared to have labelled as promoting LGBTQ "ideas".
#WatawalaSaga
#Metta
#SriLanka
1) In this advertisement a boy is dressed in a Saree (female clothes) and playing with his brother and mother when his father is coming home. (Text book copy of scene from Shyam Selvadurai's award winning novel Funny boy)
Never seen such a newspaper spreading #misinformation #hate #queerphobia as much as the Daily Error.
And a newspaper owned by the family of former president Ranil Wickremasinghe. What irony!
What a shame @Jamz5251!
@Jamz5251 There’s no such thing as "LGBTIQ tourism." It’s just tourism. What Sri Lanka Tourism endorsed was training, awareness & inclusivity to make the industry more sensitive & welcoming to all travellers.
CIABOC has filed indictments against former Minister Mervin Silva, accusing him of accumulating unexplained assets and funds amounting to over Rs. 153 million during his tenure as Minister of Labour and Public Relations. dailymirror.lk/breaking-news/…

Dear @BimalRathnayake @HMVijithaHerath @Chathurangaab @MFASriLanka @sltda_srilanka @SL_PoliceMedia,
This Tuk mafia in touristic hot spots is the death of Sri Lankan tourism.
Please see what happened to this tourist in Unawatuna.
This was his wedding day!!!
#SriLanka
Some more feedback. It looks like the locals face the same situation for years in touristic hot spots like Galle train station, Thalpe, Unawatuna etc.
Please take action. This is also related to Police corruption. @BimalRathnayake @Lakmali89 @SL_PoliceMedia @MFASriLanka
I completely agree with @Imtiaz88Zahrah that this is a great idea. Affordable eating out places should be the norm & why not?
This is something I love when I travel in 🇫🇮Finland, where the happiest people in the world are found.

In general travelling & eating in Europe is expensive. In some countries "menu del dia" or "plat du jour" meaning dish of the day is affordable. But drinks are not included. In Finland one can have salad/soup, main course, drinks, dessert & coffee for a
very reasonable price like 10-14 Euro depending on the city. #Lounas meaning "Lunch" is found in the local market hall of every town & the Finns can afford to have a decent meal at lunch time. Often it's a buffet. I found it one of the most democratic initiatives in 🇫🇮Finland.
There have been multiple discussions on Twitter #SriLanka if it's important to be fluent in English to be a presidential candidate.
In my humble view this comes from a colonial hangover of #SriLanka.
Multiple attacks have been done on different politicians about their English.
Either @sajithpremadasa is accused of speaking English that is too literal or @anuradisanayake is accused of not speaking fluent English to be able to have intl relations.
I don't think this is relevant.
What matters is honesty,integrity & accountability.
We need honest leaders.
Have a look at this video. This is a moment that president RW of #SriLanka mocks the entire electoral system & @ECSriLanka by weaponising English. How on earth can we respect such a person or even defend him in any intl stage?
This is the tragedy of #LKA.
