SRi Lanka Laws bought to harass innocent people to get money to President
I’m a 20 year old Citizen of Sri Lanka who is deeply ashamed of my countries laws and regulations. Please forward this letter to his Excellency who knows to do everything right! Without any mistakes or short comings and have made a mockery of people like me.
I have been riding my Safari 4S moped (with pedals) for the last two years and have ridden it over 24,000KM in the Colombo city, it was bought through the Sarasavi Bookshop where my father works for monthly payment. Recently a new law was put into effect which required these pedal mopeds to be registered. I was forced to register my moped because the police fined me Rs. 5000/- and told me that I would have to pay the fine if I don’t register my moped. This what I call “Government Blackmail’s people”
I was requested by Singer Sri Lanka to pay Rs. 3800/- for registration of the bike. By this time I also applied for the Driving License paying Rs. 1800/- to the Weerahara DMT. I sat for the written exam and passed and was issued a Learning Permit and was told to come for the practical test on the 20th of May. I also obtained a 3rd Party insurance cover with Learner Driver cover which cost me Rs. 950/-.
On the 20th of May 2011 I went to the DMT for my practical test on my Safari 4S moped and was told that I could not take part in the test because I require a FULL INSURANCE with Learning Cover and plus because I need to have a letter of permission from the Sarasavi Bookshop.
You as a President of the country, is this how new laws should be held? Making a Mockery of people like us? The letter would not be a problem. But a FULL insurance on my moped bike would cost me over Rs. 6000/-. As a learning student of this country, if trying to ride a moped costs me over Rs. 10,000/- because of a LAW how am I suppose to respect it? The law must think of the people and classes! A moped I got to pay Rs. 1200 per month and I have to pay Rs. 10,000!!! For person who have ridden my bike over 24,000KM safely what more practical tests?
Mr. President, don’t tell me “I DIDN’T KNOW”, I don’t believe it, you have a very cunning method of running this country and making a total mockery of innocent people like us! Please see to it that I get my A1 under 100cc License without any delay. This is not helping me! This is called Harassment! Through income to the government! At the Weerahara DMT I was told to get a bike for hire! Which had gears! I told them and I tell you. Why the hell do I need to ride a geared bike if I’m going to ride a gear-less one! And who is going to “GIVE” me a geared bike to practice for several days?
You bring laws like eggs out of a Hen. Personally I hate you for now on as a 20 year old of this country. Because you know why? You act as if you are doing GOOD but at the end harassing people of this country. I more feel like you are attacking me.
.ඒකෙ ජීවත් වෙන සමහර මිනිස්සු වැරදි කරන්න පුළුවන්. එහෙමයි කියල ලංකාවට බනින එක වැරදි.
The idea should not be to earn money into the government
