Natural Disasters or Man made Calamities; which suffocates the Paradise Island Inhabitants most?

The so called paradise island’s inhabitants are suffering intermittently through natural disasters of various forms throughout the year, drought and excessive heat for one season, that followed by  torrential rains another season – it is a cycle well accustomed   to the islanders, though different parts of the island in varying times and decrees – the response of rest of the people in and during the every aftermath of the disaster is quite astonishing – just one and same voice and action in full swing  full filling the need of the hour – responding to address the needs of the suffered though mediated through different private electronic media . Their true concerns for humanity and hospitality expressed in splendidly unified concern, everybody forgetting the ethno-religious barriers, an absolute contrast to the majority of the politicians of all levels.

That is how the people of this country have modulated this island nation as Paradise Island for the eyes of the entire rest of the world, apart from its scenic beauty it holds through the geographical landscapes; the peasants and public are well aware that the natural disasters are part and partial of the same scenic beauty eliciting geographical landscapes and as well aware, that only humanitarian concerns in the aftermath of the disaster can address the suffering the people. 

Who is responsible for river sand mining?  Who is responsible for illegal gem mining?  Who is responsible for tree felling in reserves and sanctuaries? Who is responsible for land grabbing from reserved basins? All these goes on, unabated however the law is extended, because there will be a real crook of a politician behind the crook who cooks the pot for the real crook never hooked by the legal frame.   Though all these has been the general collective contributory factors eliciting natural disasters globally – Sri Lanka’s geographical landscape nature is that, certain provinces are prone for all season disaster, namely Uva, Sabragamuwa and Central Province where both south west and north east monsoonal rains  as well  as well unseasonal torrential rains lashes out havoc almost every year. In between there comes a lengthy drought further seeking public response; as such authorities’ preparedness is questionable.

Sri Lankan people are such accustomed to Natural Disasters, they really understands the way to respond to the event better than the authorities, influenced by the politicians, who always feverishly focused on propaganda rather than a real helping intention – the exceptions are in rarity.  If not how to explain the unrepairable manmade calamities by the people’s representatives and their cronies in the top authorizing postings who succeed alternatively just bury those calamities for the sake of just continuing the calamities – swindling, siphoning and stealing the national coffers and public wealth by the name of public service. 
  

Natural Disasters are somewhat repairable except for the loss of live of loved ones suddenly and some cases in multiple of single family. Truly traumatic as result of each unexpected telling devastation of natural disaster. But the loss and damage to property are definitely reclaimed and totally repaired through international aids, public responses, aiding agencies and even through National Insurance Policy.  But the manmade national calamities, swindling, siphoning and stealing the national coffers and public wealth by the name of public service never can be recovered or repaired by any means unless the change of mindset come from the tie or white national clad vandalizing peoples’ elect, and their cronies, whose prime motive is targeting public funds. - for them it need not be corrected, because the multiple economic damages are never known to public and thrown to light only as an opportunity for the opposition to come to power- just like they do during the Natural Disaster dancing in the middle of the mud for well-known reasons. These rascals swindle and siphoned even the aid money sent in by International Community. Tsunami helping fund destiny and related deal makers are classic example of this heinous crime by the “ardent” followers of Buddhism of Sri Lankan Interpretation.

The new regime came to power shouting slogans of anti-corruption drive involved itself in the biggest scam of all time through sales of Central Bank Bond siphoning billions towards a family as well as to a particular political Party- not only once it has happened twice. In a latest bid to swindle and burgle the foreign aids towards the 2016 Flood and Land slide victims, The Ministry of Home Affairs has just appointed an “Expert” of Swindling & Siphoning of aid funds - V. P. Anusha Pelpita who has a record of being indicted in the High Court of Colombo on two accounts, for Siphoning 600 Million Sri Lankan Rupees, being Chairman of Telecommunication Regulatory Commission and in as same capacity, he has been indicted for swindling 125 Million US Dollars, through Digital Conversion of Television transmission system – under Japanese Easy Pay System Aid worth only 5 Million US Dollars. Thus holds the record of pick-pocketing a jackpot of twenty five fold than the worth of entire purchase - the loot amounting to 16.25 Billion Sri Lankan rupees. What a selection by Minister of Home affairs Vajira Abeyagunawardhana!

Thus it is abundantly clear, any ruling party would not have a true intention for prevention of calamities to safe live and property of public through Natural Disasters such as landslides, or of man-made, but would rather prioritize relieving and resettlement through helping aid funds of multiple resources posthumously. Authorities are happy making the damages of natural disasters AS Beggar’s Wound of the paradise island.   How many landslides had occurred within the last decade? Being preparedness and relocation of people from landslide prone areas are just add talk of console for the time being or else speed of the action well beaten by subsequent natural disaster cycle – calamities compounded by man-made -insidious intentions.

Youth Revolting Against –Bad Leadership of Alternative Ruling Parties

What a calamity for the beautiful paradise island that the island is overflowing with  politicians of inconvertible and invincible shoplifts, who could swiftly lift worth multi-mall at once; the first and pronounced permanent manmade calamity was provoked by the fools of the paradise Sinhala Nationalism or rather “Sinhalaism” most appropriately – looting and burning down the properties of minorities in 1958, 1976, 1977, 1983, and 1985 – that inducted Tamil youth into separatist war – behaviour of the Central Ministers and alternative governments post-independence is responsible for the calamity of cruel 30 year old civil war that affected entire inhabitants of this so called paradise island.

Even after the war the shoplifters have not learned their lessons and in 2014 Aluthgama staged a fresh exhibition of shoplifting with the same old style of seeking domination through violent looting. There was an absolute rationale behind A. Amirthalingam succeeding in inducting the Tamil youth into the separatist movement, though for known to be for a losing cause, in its inception itself for many; the salient point here is that youth were in frustration, who were of considerable population easily diverted or coaxed into various forms of anti-national activities. The same rationale lay behind the Sinhala Youth of the southern remote areas join in mass the JVP upheavals of 1971 and 1989. The cause for the calamities through the both sections of civil wars was only one – failing to appraise the respective youth concerns in appropriate terms. There was a very huge unreachable distance between the rulers and the aspiration of the youth in mass while the alternative rulers were concerned only of their Henchman and family members, demonstrating their power and grabbing power again and again. This past experience itself mandates an appropriate true democratic power devolution that ensures the youth participation of nation building, with amicable resonance for all provinces.   Religious guidance were and are of inferior, despite national claims to be following superior to any other, the teachings of Gautama Buddha; but what prevailed was with objective to subject the minorities permanently at all possible means.

The problem within our country is that we give undue reverence to politicians, prominence to clergy and unwanted attention to a military uniform. All this is blindly devoted patriotism that should be done away with. Over the years, the deterioration of everything in Sri Lanka is a result of politicizing or militarizing our establishment. Indiscipline is rife in every sphere. It just continues in north and East and Military suppression of upheavals and keeping on direct military surveillance all civic activities give wrong notions that are of being subjected unreasonably and just cannot be continued forever, the real cause for all the youth frustration and mind of revolting has to be addressed meaningful manner with deep considerations for ethnicity. 

How can a true caliber of statesman co-habit with contemporary parliamentarians who swindle and siphoned national coffers of various means with absolute impunity and claim they are the rulers of the nation of multiple ethnicity? Doesn’t this could elicit separatist notion among minority politicians? That is why, most corrupt politicians of the south are wanted to be of racist and continuously wanted to subject the minorities, imagining that the minorities are not aware their corrupt practices and corruption could be conveniently covered by unabated anti-minority slogans.

The Singapore Nation predominantly of Buddhists, which follows the real teachings of Gautama Buddha all by its true virtues – paved way for all ethnic groups respecting each other through authorities recognizing each and every ethnic group became part of nation building and truly a paradise of all respect, where man-made calamities are subdued effectively by adhering to teachings of Gautama Buddha by its merit.
