Should Sri Lanka stop sending unskilled labour abroad?

The recent News item “24 nails hammered into the maid’s body” may have angered some but this was not an isolated or one off cases.

Such incidents happen almost every day in this part of the World but seldom get the media limelight.

I am happy that except of her traumatic experience and entailing consequences, the lady is now out of any danger.

Should Sri Lanka stop sending unskilled labour abroad?

I think this incident should be used as a springboard to start that process in earnest.

The initially the financial consequences of such a decision may felt.

But the adverse social consequences come along with the exporting of unskilled labour abroad such as this are far greater and long lasting then the financial consequences, hence now it is time for the Government of Sri Lanka to take the bold step and impose a total ban.

It said that the Paradise is open only to kind hearts and I wonder where would the couple go after what they have done to their maid.

I am sure not to the PARADISE !

“Evil that men do, lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones”.

How unforgiving the World has become now.

Caesar was right when he said “Evil that men do, lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones”.

I think; The Cricket Sri Lanka almost took the correct action by fining the erring bowler and one another senior player, 100% of their match earning for their parts in this incident.

It would have been a complete act, if they have gone little further by imposing the same fine or more to the Captain of the side.

Every country has its fair share of troubles on and off the field due to a few unscrupulous characters but is it fair to tar all of them in the same brush.

“It is easy to see faults in others but not in us” was Gautama Buddha’s (The Enlightened one)

The Land gone to Dogs.

As I entered the house, I got a SMS from my wife that a Motorcyclist has knocked the car and broke one of the Tail lights.

My quick response was, if no one is injured and the bicycle is not damaged that we will get it repaired on our own.

After flashing that one, I called her and my daughter who was with her in the car answered.

She said we were going to the nearest Police station.

What happened?

Before my SMS reached them, that they have decided to go to Police and the cyclist has agreed to meet them up at the nearest station and the fled in a different direction.

I convinced them that they will be wasting their time only trying to go through the legal process to bring that man to justice and recover our damages.

Because there is no law or order in that land any more.

Earlier it was known as the land where even the Gautama Buddha (The Enlightened one) has visited many a times.

But not any more my friends, it has now gone to dogs.
