Wow. "The Minister said that when a few people in a village have dengue that news is splashed as the lead in some newspapers.
He said that such news reports are also published in the international media & it discourages foreign tourists from visiting the country."
#DengueFever 1/
Let's do some fact checking on Manisha's claims.
Is it a few people in a village that have Dengue? Manusha sounds like the president of Eritrea saying it's all fake news.
2/
Are the International media exaggerating & copy pasting "fake news" about Dengue fever in #SriLanka? Is Manusha making a case to censor actual news?😳
3/
Even pro government media are reporting this news.
4/
Just look up Dengue fever & #SriLanka. Now what should be done? Regulating the media or combating Dengue fever to prevent spread of Dengue? Surely even a primary School child can understand this.
5/
Even @sunandadesh reported news on Dengue recently.
Yet Manusha said that there are reports that tourists even avoid visiting Sri Lanka owing to misleading reports published in the Sri Lankan media.🤔 Shouldn't the tourists make informed decisions?
6/
This father is simply happy that his son is back at home after being hospitalised for Dengue fever.
Now let's reflect.
7/
Why is the president & his team pushing a Broadcasting Bill to regulate media instead of concentrating on solutions for a bankrupt country with malnourished children who are now vulnerable to Dengue fever? 8/ Image

Congratulations to the Prime Minister of 🇮🇸Iceland @katrinjak for this appointment on #WellbeingEconomyInitiative for @WHO_Europe. This is such great news.
#wellbeing #substanceabuse @ScholaEuropaea @Kari_Kivinen 1/
I have been fascinated with Iceland's wellbeing model since I heard about the success with the reduction of substance abuse use. Looking forward to seeing what she will do.

"Teens don’t just need more activities of any kind, they need activities with natural highs: games, performances, workouts, exhibitions. Activities that compel them to take physical or emotional risks."
Your strategy was revolutionary.

Unfortunately Pathum Kerner doesn't seem to understand what "constructive criticism"is. He says don't be a "critic" & give "feedback". I wonder what he means by feedback. If he says "Covid is over" & we cite @WHO & virologists to say Covid is not over, is that being a critic? 2/
In a democracy "dissent" is an integral part & Pathum doesn't seem to understand the fundamentals of a democracy. That's why Pathum & his team delete comments on Facebook, block those who disagree & even delete past comments of the dissenting person. 3/

Manneken Pis is Brussels most beloved little guy and Belgium’s biggest tourist attraction. Just like the Eiffel Tower is to Paris & the Statue of Liberty is to New York City, Manneken Pis is to Brussels its most precious possession. It is the symbol of 🇧🇪Belgium.1/
#BelgianHumour Image
When a capital city chooses such a symbol to display to the rest of the world, they must either have a strange cultural heritage or a great sense of humour,or both.For Brussels citizens and all previous generations who have lived in Brussels, Manneken Pis is a symbol of Zwanze.2/ Image
Zwanze is a word in Brusseleir (the dialect of Brussels) that expresses not only humour but also a way of life. It is the art of telling funny stories, that are not entirely true, slightly exaggerated, where one makes fun of themselves and its audience at the same time.3/

Congratulations @Jamz5251. You have made it clear by this time that you have a specific political opinion & agenda. Great power comes with great responsibility. I hope that you will reflect how you can steer #SriLanka away from a nationalist agenda spiced with toxic racism. 1/
Integrity will be remembered in history more than the temporary Adrenaline kick you can obtain from a sense of power. I have often reflected on the success of the Nazi propaganda newspaper Der Stürmer. How will the @Dailymirror_SL be remembered in history? 2/ ImageImageImage
These are cartoons designed by master artists along with powerful writing that solidified & expanded support of a despot regime that contributed to the genocide of not only the Jewish people but also of free thinkers, leftists, trade unionists...

It's been 42 years since they burnt down the #JaffnaLibrary.I decided to write a thread to acknowledge these #CrimesAgainstHumanity.As a Sri Lankan from the South,as a Bibliophile & as someone who strongly believes in justice, accountability & human dignity,I ask for discourse.1/
Every year as we commemorate this now passing 42 years, why is justice delayed? Surely there must be witnesses. 👇🏾

A powerful article from 2014 & required reading for all on the burning of the #Jaffna library.

Here's a breath of fresh air to #SriLanka the #LandlikeNoOther: our very own @NewsCurrySL. Have a look at the content. Plenty of hope to keep sanity amidst the madness.
