Dear Sirisena you can shake hand with any foreign politicians as much as you want, but you want gain anything out of that.
people that matter are christians and christians commemorate the pagan festiities associated with christianity by nothing more than feast. these festivals a few and far between and they make the most of it. we sri lankans ofcourse joi any band wagon that go by if nothing else a big math.
mr sirirsena coming from Polonnnaruwa most of its history need to be excavated and deciphered and successive governments piddled with the idea of restoration and UNICEF poured a few millions in restoration. Two years back maybe longer what i saw was that the experts designated for the project did not go beyond labelling the collosal building blocks. Sirisena as usual is man of lot words words with little meaning for he has done nothing but pirate the treasures and before long there will be so many squatters it will be a monumental problem to evct them!
Polonnaruwa even in the sorry state it is the PM from Malayasia ought to taken something that would generate a diplomatic coup and maybe Mlayasian Government would subscribe to the restoratio n fund! zz
