Five
Star Democracy and its grading
First
a reminder to our Chief Election Commissioner, that he should ban all
public display of posters and overhead hangers littering the country
side for over three months from now.
He
should advise them to deliver hand bill personally by the candidates
(not by stooges).
For
his part President of the Country should as the Chief Litter
Collector, because he believes in beautifying the country by his own
will.
The
street painters of the new vogue should stop vandalizing the street
walls of the country (wasting valuable learning time (English in
particular) of the kids who have artistic talents).
If
they want to to do any arts, they should avoid all political colours
in their public paintings.
I
saw an elephant painted in blue.
They
are brown to lighter black are never green or blue.
I
had a suggestion that Election Commissioner should ban using animal
as political symbols including cocks and cockerels.
Let
me begin with the star grading of hospitality trade (hotels) and
hospitals.
I
can dispense with hospital with one line, “There are no hospitals
with any star grade both in private and public arena on empathy and
sympathy”.
I
sympathize with the few new entrants who start with some stars but
become structured in five years and become rigid and frigid, the
entire life with money as the only motive.
Now
my star system has No Stars as the base line and they go from 1 to 5
with six gradings.
1.Let
me start with buses.
Most
of the public buses go into no grading with no leg space or room to
breath, just like domestic and international airplanes in economy
class.
Only
five star buses are for the tourists.
2.
Come to political parties, most of them hold no stars for over 70
years and they love to display their lack of stars.
Only
a few will get one star or two.
No
five star parties and we never will.
3.
Telecoms industry Lanka Bell (4 stars) and Dialog (3 stars) get few
stars and Mobitel none.
4.
Water Board and Electricity board gets no stars.
5.
Public sector including Education gets no stars.
6.
Immigration and Emigration get one star.
7.
All candidates from major parties (Not attended schools is a basic
qualification) including supposed to be intellectual over 55 who are
retired from public service (if they hold stars they should be
serving the Universities abroad. There is a dearth of intellectuals
in universities) get no stars or one.
8.
Most of the politically appointed ambassadors also get no stars.
