    I work for a Singapore firm and I think Sri Lankan culture is much better and humans are much more respected in Sri Lanka than Singapore. If we want to achieve development at the cost of everything good thing we have I don’t think there will be any future for Sri Lanka. Even if Singapore is a developed place do you guys prefer to live in A western country or Singapore.

    No, because we don't have a Leaders like " Lee Kuan Yew " , the first thing he did was after become PM put corrupt politicians and corrupted personals in Jail.

    This is what International community says about him
    "Lee oversaw Singapore's transformation into a developed country with a high-income economy within a single generation. In the process, he forged a highly effective, anti-corrupt government and civil service"

    Do you think any country say slimier things about any of our politicians?

    I think it will not happen even if it's 50 years.

    because


    • debt trap ( its impossible to pay all these with the crook political system)
    • political slaves ( you cannot destroy the political slavery (aka bayyo) system, for the government job people would die to get it - an easy job with tons of benefits)
    • all the politician's childrens are not in Srilanka they learning and living abroad ( coz politician knows Srilanka will not develop)
    • the racist majority (whatever happens Sinhala people never like minorities , once said if you make suffer north east south will be happier)
    • opportunity minority ( Norths never likes southern coz they suffered a lot so they sneaky works to gain their rights and they knows majority never likes harmony )
    • deep religious stuff ( this will destroy the harmonies between the peoples and politicians use the religion card to gain powers coz even the badu karaya become monks they worship them)
    • education system (whoever have money will learn even after school drops.
    • ladies migrant workers ( government forcefully stopped entering srilanka people while covid times, the government need migrant workers to gain dollars they don't have any alternative options to earn dollars with exports.


    if you have more, let's comment.

    ( people who left the country - don't come back, you can have an awesome life in a migrated country and good for your kids future. )



    this is a paradise for westerners, and us too. but it became hell for Lankans.
    now I made up my mind to migrate to another country.

    Looks like you are too young to have heard this story. I had posted this earlier though. I forget the full details & the original narrative of the story, but the gist of it as follows.

    Old JRJ was invited to a meeting with Lord Sakra.... in heaven - or wherever Lord Sakra resides....

    After a friendly chat JRJ was given the chance to ask a few questions before his departure. JRJ asked a couple and Sakra gave the answers. Then came the chance for the final question and JRJ apparently asked;

    "Will I be able to make SriLanka prosperous within my lifetime"

    Immediately, Sakra started to cry ... After a while, JR questioned "Oh My Lord....What's wrong. Did I upset you by this question or is it that hard to answer?"

    Sakra calmly replied saying that " No, I had to cry - only just because " I cannot see that happening even within MY lifetime"
