The All-Share Price Index .CSE of the Colombo Stock Exchange jumped 1.28 percent to hit a fresh record high of 3637.65 points, surpassing its previous all-time high of 3610.74, hit on Tuesday.<br /><br />http://in.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idINSGE60R0AM20100128<br /><br /><br /><br />(2) Sri Lanka’s economy onwards and upwards<br /><br /><br />By R M Cutler<br /><br />MONTREAL - The continuity inherent in incumbent President Mahinda Rajapaksa's election victory, based on early returns, is likely to further strengthen confidence in Sri Lanka's economic revival after decades of civil war.<br /><br />Indeed, such is the present strength of the economy, which is forecast to grow as much as 6% this year, that few observers believed even a surprise victory by his chief rival, former army chief Sarath Fonseka, would have had a significant negative impact on the present boom.<br /><br />http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/LA28Df02.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607766372946025027.post-33795845367033607992010-01-28T14:30:18.218+05:302010-01-28T14:30:18.218+05:30Oh, and inflation is at its lowest in 25 years.

If it is the...Ha ha. What exactly do you refer to?<br /><br />If it is the fact that there was increased army security outside Cinnamon Lakeside, that was because of information that SF had a bunch of armed army deserters with him and that they were planning trouble. The Government beefed up security, but no harm came to SF, did it? After bawling his eyes out, he left the hotel at approximately 9.50pm last night. I wonder if he paid his bill?<br /><br />If you're referring to the fact that SF was soundly beaten in a free and fair election (acknowledged by, you know, Ranil, Rauf, Ban Ki Moon and about 14,000 election monitors), then you don't really understand what democracy is.<br /><br />As for your weird speculations about crime and unemployment; for your information, under MR, the biggest criminals in SL - the LTTE - were completely destroyed, and unemployment FELL from 8.3% in 2004 to 5.2% this year. If that's not a good trend, I don't know what is.Chrishanthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607766372946025027.post-33017760697594606912010-01-28T13:55:41.776+05:302010-01-28T13:55:41.776+05:30Democracy is a political government either carried...Democracy is a political government either carried out directly by the people (direct democracy) or by means of elected representatives of the people (Representative democracy). Even though there is no specific, universally accepted definition of 'democracy', there are two principles that any definition of democracy includes, <br /> 1. equality and <br /> 2. freedom.<br />These principles are reflected by all citizens being equal before the law, and having equal access to power, and freedom is secured by legitimized rights and liberties, which are generally protected by a constitution.<br /><br />- Extracted from wikipedia<br /><br />Can you believe that these things are today in Sri Lanaka?<br /><br />If so why dissident voices are shutting down?<br /><br />where is www.lankaenews.com ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607766372946025027.post-18035147397799280342010-01-28T13:50:18.605+05:302010-01-28T13:50:18.605+05:30May be at least then the stupid Sri Lankans would ...May be at least then the stupid Sri Lankans would realize they made a mistake, though it will surely be too late for any recognition by then.mierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688552933694762855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607766372946025027.post-10832799667414770122010-01-28T13:45:25.235+05:302010-01-28T13:45:25.235+05:30Dear Sir

It is a difficult road to get to the top. ALL citizens should contribute for it.
