Mr.P.B.Jayasundara wants to show that he is very loyal to the present government and President of Sri Lanka. Once he was sacked and replaced again by Mr.President. Now he wants to show that he is making more and more ways to earn money for present Rajapaksha regime. OK Mr.PB, do your best and finally go home without any credits and benifits. I can show one example, General Fonseka did a big job to liberate the country from LTTE. How he is treated right now. ( I am not a supporter of Gen. Fonseka) Mr.PB, time very short for you too. Just count your days.
