    I knew one person through his family. His name was Ananda PeliMuhandiram - ex Peradeniya E-Fac. He was said to be a brilliant guy and was the Commercial Director of the company.:(

    Upali kiyanne private plane ekakin Malaysia giya kenek.

    Upali business karanakota langin hitiye Ananda Krishnan.
    Upali missing wunama eyage dewal okkoma ayithi karagatte oya Ananda Krishnana kiyana pudgalaya.
    Dan me Ananda K kiyanne kawuda kiyala balanna, Asia wala inna lokuma posathek.
    Malaysia wala Maxis, Astro wage companies wala ayithikaraya.
    Malaysia wala twin towers hadala tiyenne kalin Upalita ayithi passe Ananda K aythi karagattu idamaka.
    Ehema gatta nisa eeta eha pette, Maxis building eka hadanna puluwan wuna.
    Mewa hithalu neme.
    Danuthi Upalita ayithi wela thibba Palm wathu thoga ganan tiyenawa....

    Upali's started his most successful Unic Radio in 1968
    Ananda started his major success , Exoil Trading in 1968

    Both were horse racing enthusiasts. Invested heavily in horses and racing tracks.

    Upali bought a Learjet , Ananda preferred Gilfstream , a similar looking private jet, different maker.

    Ananda married a high class lass of Thai Royal Origin in 1971 and Upali, high class young Ratwatte girl in 1975.

    Both used their connections with high powers (JRJ & Mahathir Mmd) to get billions of tax concessions and many other supports.

    Both had allegations from various parties about their hidden activities, not proven...

    Ananda had 3 kids, Upali none.

    More about Upali's close friend Muru. ( Mr. R. Murugaiah)

    One man who stood by him in those days was R. Murugaiah, an up-country Tamil. It is said that the name ‘Delta’ was adopted for Wijewardena’s sweets because Murugaiah was born on Delta group estate. Murugaiah was responsible for marketing the products then.

    Years later Wijewardena was to quip publicly, “Behind every successful man there is a woman but behind every successful Sinhala businessman there is a Tamil,” and point to Murugaiah walking behind him !

    Ananda Krishnan was having a house in Brickfields Malaysia. Just opposite the Buddhist Maha Vihara.
    This house still own by him and not using.

    The wooden house. If you see the street map you can see 3 cones kept infront of the gate.
