3P or Priests, Politicians and Police

I will deal with other 3Ps first.

1. Parippu or dhal
2. Pol or coconut sambol
3. Pappadum

If one goes to a University Canteen all three are expensive.

But they are also infested by three other gulags.

1. Guys in saffron cloths or priests.
2. Politics and politicians.
3. Police with battens.

I think if we are to avoid anarchy in future we need several prerequisites.

RW and MJ should not be reelected to the next parliament.They will hide behind the parliamentary privileges and cannot be brought to justice.

List MPs not elected and not responsible for a particular electorate should be deprived of parliamentary privileges.

Once one becomes a President for more than 3 months he / she should not be allowed to be a member of the parliament for ever.

Then, we can get rid of Maru Sira and Maraya and keep Chandriaka out of the parliament.

JVP can appoint a guy or girl for this post temporarily and abolish the post of president in toto.

It is a theme, sure to gain popularity, as a counter to JRJ referendum

If they campaign for economic recovery they are bound to fail in less than two years.

They should cultivate relationship with Russia and President Putin.

He has promised free food for the needy.

Once we feed our guys and girls to health, it is mandatory that they should work at least 8 hours (in schools, offices and public utilities) a day. They have 16 hours left for themselves including travelling to work.

Ceylon is a country one can travel from one end to the other end by public transport in less than 24 hours.
By air only 45 minutes.

8 hour labour is the UNO or International Labour Regulation minimum requirement.  If one works extra hours for any reason one is entitled for bonus pay.
No onr should be allowed to do extra hours. What happens in Ceylon is they do gossip for 8 hours (free pay) till 3PM and do the normal work after 4PM.

Three to four is sleeping time at desk.

Mind you, I worked in public service as an administrator.

No cellphones or work from home or video conferences.

They are good for developed countries and not for Ceylon.

The above ploy is a sure way to get at least 80 seats plus the bonus seats.

Otherwise they wil get only 60 or less.

Having abolished list MPs and the post of presidency we should limit the MPs to 99.
The 100th member should be the secretary of the parliament who should be selected by a majority vote of the MPs.

He should serve only two terms.

MPs should hold only 3 terms and no pension for any MP.

New Zealand has 100 seats. I prefer less than 100.

I think 75MPs are enough for Ceylon.

Only 7 or 8 cabinet of ministries.

25 is too much and no deputy monsters but Permanent Secretaries with high class civil service experience of at least 20 years (in service in Ceylon and service abroad is discounted).

They should be like ambassadors and only 2 terms of service.

Election in every three years as in management practice.

I am pretty sure even JVP cannot bring these reforms.

All these are hypothetical wishes and I wish not to be born again in Ceylon to verify these in my next birth.

That is of course, if I get a chance to be reborn again as a typical human with hopes not fulfilled in one human life.

I think I have no hope of born again as a  human but perhaps as an alien being of reptilian base. Reason, I fear all snakes.

By the way, I do not hold a brief to JVP and I am opposed to most of their impractical policies. I certainly won't vote for them, if I remained in Ceylon.
This was not a new phenomenon and I was fourth in their death list in Digana, in Kandy, 1989. Even in their peak campaign, I openly opposed them unlike the guys who have become vocal opponents once 139 odd guys were killed in Menikdiwela in Kandy. JVP asked all of us to join thier parade against senior Premadasa in Digana.
I remained in the village with my staff and enjoyed V.S.O.A, instead. Of course my residence was vacated (house No 1) and we moved to a secret location (vacant house) for our feast.
Sinnappan our supply officer was all ready to join the protest parade and I stopped him and said, if we are to die we should give a fight and die in our safe house.
All agreed.
Had we joined the parade we we would have been among the 139.
Senior Premadasa ordered the police to open fire and that is why I still hate him and never voted for him.

Only innocent village people died in this incident and JVP guys eloped well before police goons arrived.

Then in 1971, in the Peradeniya Campus, the JVP hide the explosives on the ceiling of our room 11.Then they tipped the army guys to our room for search.
Army came into to round up the JVP guys and  remove the incendiary devices.
The lieutenant was one of our colleague guys and by stroke of luck I escaped detention. He asked the names of JVP guys and I said, none in our hall of residence, having known them by names. One of those guys became a lifetime friend of mine and I helped him to complete the course of studies in his field. None from our hall was taken into detention.
In our first year, army was stationed in the gymnasium in preparation for the Independence day celebration. It was designed to teach our undergraduates a lesson by I.M.R.A Iriyagolla.
We (I did not) hooted them from 8AM to 1PM. Rumours spread that they  were preparing to assault us after the parade. The university was closed.
I shaved my beard and kept my suitcase in a nearby house and escaped just before the army dinner time.
When I reached Kandy, the army guys in civilian cloths were assaulting young guys who pretended to be University Students.
One guy asked me are you in the university.
I asked what is university? and saved myself a thundering clout on my ear.
Luckily my elder brother was in the bus queue and I boarded the bus before him and sat on a middle seat.

Army did a full search of the bus and my brother save any embarrassment to me. I looked very young then and nobody would have (with a clean shave) passed me as an undergraduate.

I never trusted police nor army all my life.
I used to give a real workout for police on duty when I was a DMO.
