The HR department has  initiated an education programme and the employee will be educated on  the core values of our company and on his personal conduct," he said.        Mr. Bandara said the incident would be used as educative guide to the rest of the company employees.        "We will create awareness among our entire staff on the advantages and  disadvantages of social media and how it should be used. We will also  inculcate the values of ethnic and social harmony that our company has  stood for during these years," he said.        Mr. Bandara said the specific Facebook page which highlighted the issue was also suspicious.        "We have no idea who is behind this and they seem to be working to a  set agenda. As much as we are thankful that this was brought to our  attention, I believe that social change should come equally to everyone  and that no group should be targeted," he said.
