    Weknow that/Horage ammagen pena ahuwama wenne oka thama.Then who is guilty? I think that pooer samurdi officer is guilty>This Mahinda Chintanaya……Give him more powers then you can see the rest of his behaviour!

    • Death to all UNP'iers

      Mervin is a peoples minister. He had more infrastructure developments in Kelaniya along, than all the useless UNP MP’s put together. No matter what these UNP+DNA+LTTE toilet cleaners say, people need the service of Mervin.

    • truth

      then who is guilty???

      answer – fredrica

    • vana

      when prabakaran killed all his tamil opponets by lamp post killings everyone was silent. when this guy punishes a lethargic worker everyone shouts??

      • The Patriot

        Prabakaran is a terrorist and eliminated all opposing elements to come to the helm. Do you mean to say that the government is also the same? We have a democratic system and this poor fellow is a government employee! Anyway, the result of the disciplinary committee was as expected. Without this clown, the Parliament will be Boring!!

  2. Pot Stirrer

    Not worth commenting! Sri Lanka is the laughing stock of the world. WE are the most foolish, corrupted, spinless, bunch of idiots in this world. This Government had taken all of us for fools. NEXT STEP is to file a criminal case against the so called Doctor! Well “andares” let’s move on………….

  3. Ranbanda

    Of course! The VERMIN is just an innocent at large!

  4. jayalal

    good news..mervin is relse of his charges..this is the time to give him government servents ..he should be given that ministry to shake it up in conventinal or unconventional manner so our country will have a future.gvt dpt and agencies together with govt servents are the worst who drags sri lankas economy backword.this guy may be the prmadasa this country looking for..hope he will be that MAN for our country…

  5. Ranbanda

    Why not? We want VERMIN Silva as our President.! Ask him to get rid off MR and take over. VERMIN IS THE MAN! An even better Dutugemunu that MR or the original. The VERMIN who is now kissing the great king’s hand is capable of cutting it off and placing the crown on his head, with the support of folks like jayalal. Verminta jayaweva!

    • jayalal

      mr.ranbanda..take off ur dark glasses and see the real col..u talk about a man who accepts and acknowledges he is a thug.but there are plenty of them act a innocent charactor in front of cameras and do completely dangourose conspiracies again other people and this country.i dont know what MR has done to you.but MR is the only leader in history after the kings that were able to unify this country physically.we are rated by indipendent economic observers as the fastest growing economy in south asia (includes india also).and as a part of people who got relatives or friends killed due to war i salute MR for his work.i think u r a vermin of raanil or allways complain no solution party (jvp).people like u blame other and shout deyav deyav without contributing to lift this country..

  6. Supun

    mahinda chintanaya:- fool the people all ways in all manner.

  7. The skit is over. All the audience (public) guessed correctly the final end. Mervyn is innocent. Mervyn will be re-appointed or rather promoted. The investigation team members get a ‘pat’ on their back from their ‘boss’ and a ‘santhosam’ is on the way. The Samurdhi office will have his splendid reward too for his superb paulwalt cooperatin and contribution. His supporters who stood for him have their ‘kate pass’. The public well they are the usual ‘booruwas’. In Sri Lanka justice is allways on sale. Next step: Mervyn will visit the mahanayakas who will willingly bless him with a tag “good buddhist” and Keleniya temple will get another face lift.

  8. P.L.J.B.Palipana

    Really Mr.Mervin Silva did a very good service and example. It is not good always the politicians are blamed. The Government Service of SriLanka is the most unproductive, inefficient work force in the world. But the Police service and the Health service in SL are the most productive and efficient work forces in the world. Otherwive Mervin has no any kind of corruotin charge up to now.

    • gamunu

      Pali.
      I agree with what you say about inefficiency within the government services but, isn’t there a better way to handle them? This thug should have been locked away and the keys thrown out for not only this incident but for all his past antiques?. What a disgrace. No words to describe the issue. President was given a mandate to clean up thuggery and corruption but this is unbelievable.

      • I Hussein

        Gamunu, Your unbiased comment is appreciated.
        In fact i didnt want to comment at all as this is not only a joke but its sickening. MR dismissed him from the ministry position and SLFP supreme court given its verdint – Not Giulty. I honestly dont know who is fooling who. What a bunch of jokers.

    • By the way, you forgot that it is the politicians who manage and direct the government service personel. Simply, the government service is unproductive, inefficient just because the one who manage and direct them (i.e. politicians) are unproductive and inefficient. Like father like son eh?

  9. S. Selvarajah

    Known outcome. Reinstatements and atrocities would follow. Victory to 100,000 voters. God save Sri Lanka.

  10. K.A.

    Well folks, that’s what we were looking for! MS is back, with the blessings of MR!

  11. Umesh

    i am not surprised about the finding since it is the way law and order is enforced. Now he will be reinstated as a minister again. Only public get fooled. There is nothing illegal as long as he is his boss’s man.

  12. Ranbanda

    Mr palipana, no civilized country lets its ministers tie public servants to trees and humiliate them. If they have been errant, there are proper ways to punish them. And pls don’t condemn all public servants. Both my parents were dedicated, honourable professionals who served their respective departments to the very best of their ability. There are such people in government service.

  13. jara

    Democracy is not for fools and Sri Lanka is not civilized!

  14. Sinhalayek

    Srilanka is not for “Educated People” , only for “UnEducated Fools”

    • Well said Sinhalayek. The saying “sinhalaya modaya” comes to my mind!!??

      • jayalal

        mr sinhalayek & kaputakukula : if you r sinhala sri lankans i guess u 2 r the modays left in our kind who blame yourself than any other ethnic group..u 2 may be fools but not sinhalaya..dont give your foolishness to millions of sinhaleese..

        • Mr. Jayalal, corruption, lawlessness, killings, kidnappings, ransome claims, thuggery al these are gone beyond the limit in Sri Lanka. The public comments in the newspapers show the reality. Corruption and lawlessness of the politicians are the talk of the land. I am sure you are well aware of these. Are not all these if not 99% culprits our sinhalayas. YET, WHAT IS THE PUBLIC DOING? THAT IS INCLUDING YOU AND ME. DID NOT WE ELECT THEM ONCE AGAIN TO ROB US? AND STILL SUPPORT? ARE WE CLEVER? NO.. NO. Accept the truth even though it is bitter and unpalatable. Gulp it, theres no alternative.

  15. We all know why there was an inquiry of Mervin’s act.
    Just an eyewash and delaying tactic, like in so many previous cases.

    When was any serious investigation made in this country?
    And when wasany guilty person punished?

    This country’s respect will not be redeemed in our life time.

  16. Sinhalayek

    “SLFP ” is a group of “Uneducated Thugs” in the country. From top to bottom of “SLFP” are, “Cheaters”, who cheated to the “Nation” and the “Country”.

  17. we know that polititians are acting always. But please do not repeat these types of acting as it expose our immaturity to the world dear deputy minister.

    • muzammil

      the govt doesn’t have a clear cut policy to govern.it plays politics with everything.its supporters approve its actions as a gesture of gratitude for the
      victory of UNWINNABLE war.even RANIL shouts from the front door and
      bends from the back door making the back door the official one.SRILANKA
      soon will become CHEELANKA.we have all the bad signs.the govt not only
      defeated tigers they also defeated lions.

  18. Raja

    I am a Tamil and do not like Sarath Fonseka. But any which way you look at it, he won the war with the help of two faced Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese. But today instead of him being a hero to the country he is in jail. This bloody dog, who laid around in the Banda’s estate as a servant, with all his hooligan type of behaviour has been found not guilty. Wake up Lanka…..Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and everyone else, MR and family get their dirty work done by this thug so that they look good. WAKE UP LANKA, IT IS TIME TO THROW THESE BUGGERS OUT OF POWER.

  19. Raja

    forgot to mention one more thing, as a Tamil living abroad, I am also very happy the LTTE is gone. At least the people can live in peace without further blood shed.

  20. Maruwa

    I hope most of our readers were already knows the outcome result of this idiots’ commision of inquiry.

  21. kasyapa

    What about the TV evidence???

  22. kasyapa

    What a god father to have!!!!!!!!!

    • Government’s report: the video is edited just like Channel 7? Truth will be hidden but for a moment. When it comes out, certainly will comes out like a volcano eruption burning everything in its path for a fresh and clean start.

  23. jara

    GODFATHER ASKS HIS HENCHMEN TO INVESTIGATE AND DECLARE HIS SON NOT GUILTY!
    Only in Sri Lanka my friends!

  24. sitara

  25. Don

    Please save our country from this so called president who knows no evil, hears no evil, sees no evil and acts like a pure evil !

    Dear parlimentarians, please give this president eternal power to ruin our beloved country for ever !!!

  26. Who said he neither knows, nor hears, nor sees evil?
    He s the one who gathers all evil–Mervin, WW, Karuna, K.P., etc…
    That is how he can be KING!

  27. izzy

    NOT GUILTY AS CHARGED??

  28. izzy

    MERV THE PERV IS TIPPED TO BE OUR NEXT PRIME MINISTER!!

  29. TONY

    He will be the biggest vote taker from any district in the next gen.election. He is the type of candidate that most of the UPFA voters want now. Look at the results of districts such as kandy, Galle, Colombo, kurunegala etc .

  30. jay

    Ragata hora ganu supply eke dunne mu.

  31. USA

    I’ll say send him to UN……Rajaparaya Take my advise He will do wonders for you !!!

  32. Vathy

    It is a pity that Mahinda thinks that by holding such inquiries he could show the public that he is being fair. Unfortunately there are fools like Gamunu and Leela who would hold him up.

  33. JG

    Afterall its the Sri lanka FREEDOM party who has FREED Mervyn of charges

  34. sali

    create a ministry including forest department and give it mervin silva. i think he tied that samurdi guy not because of he failed to attened the meeting ( any one can take leave due to some good personal reason, may be sick) without even inquaring the right way throug his directors, he tied him because he is a muslim????

  35. Mervyn

    Foolish commenters, what you people can do to me or what did you do to me, I am very strong in Mahinda Rajapaksa`s group. I am the ‘Badu Supply Kolla” to the “Big Boss”.

  36. MOHAMED ASFAR

    this is disgrace. send mervin to the garbage of political history. he is guilty. he is a bane to sri lankan politics.

  37. P.L.J.B.Palipana

    BADU SUPPLY COLLA, those are false allegations. Hon. Srima Bandaranayake too had such type of allegations.In modern technological world every thing is traced.

  38. P.L.J.B.Palipana

    Please note that the UNP is the most poverful party in SL.

  39. P.L.J.B.Palipana

    Please note that the prostitution is a produt of the uneven distribution of the social wealth.

  40. Wallaby rules the world

    SL is still a poor third world garbage dump of the world. Animals like this Mervyn fool are a disgrace to an already poverty stricken country. Of course, my beautiful western country has none of these idiots and that is why we are the best country in the world.

  41. punyadasa

    a verdict fit for an april fools day joke
    SF is guilty…but mervin isnt…..a war hero languishes in prison while terrorists (karuna,pillayan,KP,daya master) are pampered by MR and his corrupt band of brothers….
    the special disciplinary committee set up to look into this case should be taken to courts for insulting people’s inteligence by absolving mervin

  42. jo

    Ane raja parayo thoe hithueada api gonu keila. Thota badu gahanna gonu dunne oka thami.

  43. Ranbanda

    jayalal, did I say anything against MR? I was talking about ur hero, MR’s bulldog. Learn to read and understand without going off track. Yes, MR accomplished tremendous things and I fully respect him for those things. And please, i am no Ranil-lover. You will realise that if u read my other comments. Ranil is a dis-arse-ter for this country. That’s where I stand on that. OK?

    • jayalal

      i am very dissapointe with gvt servents and seen how gov offices work.ur parents may have being good in thire job but they are just 2 out of a millions of govt workers..one person i know bougt a junk bag to my house in yakkala.i asked why you didnt trow it on the way.he said he specilly wanted to throw these when coming from kalaniya when he had a some bun rappers to through out of his car and when he put his hands out of the car to throw he remembered this was kalaniya.if mervin or any of his supporters see him throwing any junk he might have to clean whole kalaniya area even f he have political power to bsil him.so he kep his junk in the car and bought to my house to throw.my example is he may get it done in a wrong way (may not be the most popular way) but he gets the job than any police or any other law would do.we need a man like that to diciplin this country.but the trick is to get him to do the good and encourage him to do good.not his personnel wellbeing like in history.this incident was based on public health & best for everyone.even though i also like these kala rules it gives a stron message that could change our society.so we should support mervins nconventional way to get the job done..

  44. Ranbanda

    Thousands of people like wallaby and palipana have made australia their country. And millions more are trying to get the hell out. 1.3 million lankans have got the hell out of this country. It’s sad. but why? it’s because of the system and bastards like mervyn and hopleslessness. I hope that poor muslim guy he tied up gets a chance to go. Good luck to all lankans. Theruwan Saranai hebei ekeng vedak ne!

  45. Don

    Hi, Guys,

    Can I proposed this as the best joke in our universe ?

  46. Wije silva

    Another verdict of Kakille Maharaja

  47. NICKY KARUNARATHNA,FORMER INTELLIGENCE OFFICER OF A WELL KNOWN INTERNATIONAL AGENCY

    This is trial by media. When media men write a report or bring a news item intelligent people have to select it as a gold smith selecting his gold. Wise will take the news appear in their coloumn in logical deduction only. And same should apply to Mervin Silva’s story, which bringing by news men with vengence and character assasination to give thrill and sensationalism. This what America and vested interest world press did to former Iraq strongman Saddam Hussain. They made him a villain just to kill him. This became true to me once I met tree Kurdish nationals who were having Saddam’s photos in their mobile. I asked them if he is so bad, why you keep his photo? For my astonishment they said he was good man and Amrican who hated him and killed him telling all lies. If one take 100 people in this world at least 85% believed he was bad due to news media hype. But truth is quite different. Today’s media can make or break a man with their news strength as news fly faster than the speed of light. If media goes on and on spreading false information about a person, whom they dislike or to make a governement a unpopular one who attached to government they can make or break the government from simple subject too. This is what they did to Julia Gillard governement in Australia, which was good government with low inflation, low interest rates, low unemployment.

  48. Gundappa

    DECLARE A HOLIDAY, ERECT A STATUE, MOVE THE UNITED NATIONS TO HONOUR OUR VEERAYA, INVITE HIM TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE, AND TO CHEQUERS, MAYBE EVEN TO THE ELYSEE PALACE.

    TAKE HIM TO THE BURJ KHALIFA IN DUBAI………

    THEN PUSH HIM FROM THE 166TH FLOOR, ALONG WITH ALL HIS GOONDAS

  49. The verdict is not surprising at all. We expected this out come. Some day Mervyn will become the First man of SL if things continue in this manner.
