Faculty of Dental Sciences is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

I have to remember at least 3 Japanese.
I was involved with them from laying the foundation stone.

Dr. Yugiro Handa

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 but he choose to improve health and more importantly Treatment of Tuberculosis in Ethiopia.

Dr. Hagiwara

This lady was the one who managed the documentation and probably statistics.
She was bit stingy and did not give me a copy of SPSS 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 was not pirated and I had 42 odd 720MB floppies.

No wonder I turned to Linux.

It was one of my students Sanjeewa Kandegedara who game me my first working Linux copy.

He is now a good Maxillo Facial Surgeon.

I was involved in recruiting 45 young dental surgeons to be sent for Training in Japan.

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 joined the university 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 medicine but got a scholarship in Japan.

He tried a scholarship in UK but failed.

He came back to settle his dues in the university 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.

He dissected a hampster and manually 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 into a booklet for our technicians to use.

My interest was Microscopes with a video display for students. My video microscope never aligned and what I focus student could not see (no synchronization).

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

All of them I believed discarded from schools but working OK after through check up and alignment.

I of course put my own money and bought a digital microscope used by students in America.

Just forget about Electron Microscopy in Ceylon.

Total Quality Management in Education (at least in universities)

R.W our current president (shoddy deals)

We developed a streamlined University Education protocol for all the universities.

R.W. came in and sacked the UGC 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 instal private 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).
