Faculty of Dental Sciences is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

I have to remember at least 3 Japanese souls.

I was involved with them from laying the foundation stone to the grand opening.

Dr. Yugiro Handa (now a professor)

He is now bit flabby and I cannot remember him wearing specks but he does it now.

He is now a professor and I can remember him saying he would be going to Africa.

I told him he is better as a ambassador for Japan but he choose to improve health and more importantly Treatment of Tuberculosis in Ethiopia.
 

Miss. Hagiwara

This lady was the one who managed the documentation and probably the statistics.
She was bit stingy and she did not give me a copy of SPSS in statistics for my research work.

This lady may be now in Ghana and trying to improve Child Health in African continent.

Through Professor Asoka Ekanayake I got her to install a copy of it in the Computer Unit of the Faculty of Dental Sciences.

I managed to find a pirated copy used by the Engineering Faculty Students.

My Microsoft Windows installation was not pirated and I had 42 odd 720MB floppies.

No wonder I turned to Linux.

If I remember right, it was one of my students, Sanjeewa Kandegedara who game me the first working copy of Linux.

He is now a good Maxillo Facial Surgeon.

I was involved in recruiting 45 young Dental Surgeons to be sent to Japan for Training.

Only two of them came back and only one paid back the security and resigned properly from the university.

Of course, none of them can join the Univerity again and they are blacklisted for life.

I think I was the only one who did not ask for foreign sojourns and I did my research work in Ceylon.

By the way, one of my parallel Advanced Level (bright guy) students from a different school did NOT get through to Medicine but got a scholarship to Japan.

He tried a scholarship in UK but failed.

He came back to settle his dues in the Univerity and got married to a Japanese lady.

I told him, Japanese are very bad in English and start an English School in Japan, jokingly.

He took me seriously and opened an English Academy in Japan.

I have not seen him since.

Professor Ama Mia
He was a retired Professor of Oral  Pathology  and I gave my room for him to share.

His English was poor but sure enough he managed to learn English in six months and he made a presentation on special staining techniques in Oral Pathology.

He dissected a hamster and manually (not a single word uttered) showed the technology to our technicians.

I preserved the skin coat of the hamster and kept it as a souvenir until my retirement.

I made his presentation in to a booklet for our technicians to use.

My interest was Microscopes with a video display for our students. 

The Video Microscope donated free by Japan  never aligned and what I focus under my microscope student could not see live. 

No alignment and no synchronization.

Japanese were bit stingy and they donated us 50 USED microscopes.

99% of students who had never used a microscope in school were not interested in histopathology.

All of the microcopes, I believed were discarded from schools in Japan but working OK after thorough check up and proper alignment. Mr. Bandara who is no more died of Mercury Poisonining was an expert on micricopes. What he did was to duscard the faulty parts and assemble 25 working microscopes. 

5 good ones were kept for postgraduate students and were under my care. 

After one of my practical demonstrations we checked the microcopes and a few pieces were missing in one microscope. The guy who used this microscope was an Indian. I refused any further teaching, in the next demonstratuon session, unless the missing pieces are replaced immediately.

I left saying that the Guy's name would be made public. In the next session the missing pieces miraculously reappeared.

This an another reason Why I HATE Indians.

Of course, I put my own money and I bought a digital microscope used by students in America. It is still in CEYLON and was too, heavy to bring to Australia by Air Cargo with accessories.

Just forget about Electron Microscopy in Ceylon.

We had an Electron Microscope in the Faculty of Medicine (Departmennt of Anatomy). In the first year, I used to go there and "have a peep" under this EM. 

It broke down within one year since our Power Lines could not provide the correct Voltage and Amperage for the EM to work. 

I am a guy with good understanding of Physics.

It dawned on me simple microscope was good enough for my Research Work.


Total Quality Management in Education (at least in the Universities)

R.W our current president (shoddy deals) is the one who destroyed out University Education for him to initiate Fee Paying Private Universities.
 
We developed a streamlined University Education protocol for all the universities.

Professor Ranjith Mendis's Plight

R.W. came in and sacked the U.G.C chairman and destroyed the whole project and appointed a political goon.

Please do not believe him in his educational reforms.

His intention is to destroy our universities and install private FEE Paying institutions.

He is hell bent on this!

He destroyed the Quality Control of Education in Progress in the University System.

He thinks of Education like selling Wattakkas (pumpkin) and Bandakkas (ladies fingers).

When you look at him he is actually Big Pumpkin (I am referring to his brain not the belly).
