Government land to the extent of 20,000 acres from the Maduruoya Right Bank and other areas will be released to cultivate the 5 major food crops, fruits and vegetables on a commercial scale, using hi tech modern agricultural practices,targeting the export market. I propose that commercial scale farmers to be provided with a minimum land plot of 1,000 acres on a long term lease basis.

Presently, the EPF allows its members to obtain housing loans against their
contribution. However, this is contrary to the spirit of the establishment of the EPF. As a result the retirement life of the members is negatively affected given the depleted retirement benefits of the members. As such, I propose to discontinue the provision of loans to members by the EPF with immediate effect. However, members may obtain loans through the many housing loan schemes designed by our government.

බලපන් කොච්චර ආදරේද කියල. සල්ලි ලෝන් වලට හිර කලාම වයසක උන්ට පව්ලු.

The present tax rate of 10% applicable for Funds (EPF, ETF,etc.),
Charitable institutions, Dividends, Treasury Bonds and Treasury Bills
and any other sector will be increased to 14%.

ඈ... කෝ අර ආදරේ???
