a msg to ban ki-moon - we will celebrate our victory over, & liberation from, terrorists

a msg to ban ki-moon the secretory general of united nations- we, sri lankans, will celebrate our victory over & liberation from murderous terrorist pussies of ltte.

to assume that we are celebrating a victory over a community rather than a group of criminal thugs, as he does, is racist and shows a complete lack of understanding about sri lankan situation. it is he who should apologize to us.

our military and ordinary sri lankans made great sacrifices to break free from the tamil tiger terrorist's threats against our lives, our human rights, our freedom, our justice, and our democracy. those should be acknowledged and their glory celebrated. we will do that, whether secretary ban likes it or not.

if ban ki-moon wants to mourn the death of our murderers, let him, but such a supporter of our enemies has no right to lecture us, investigate us, or judge us, after that.

if he fails to understand that his attacks against sri lanka are encouraging hate attacks against sri lankans now going on in western countries (unhindered, unreported, and uncondemned, by so called defenders of human rights in those governments and media, and un) he is a fool and a hypocrite.

btw we should prosecute to fullest extent anyone foreign or sri lankan, (doctor or not,) who was caught helping the terrorists here. helpers of murderers should not escape. they should be allowed to reflect on their crimes against us through a long incarceration in a sri lankan prison, instead of being set free because they have connections in high places. we will see whether justice will be done or whether it will be perverted, by likes of ban ki-moon, who claims to stand for it, by pressuring sri lankan government to release them.

updated table of western province provincial council election results

given the traffic i am getting for last post, i thought that i should update a table of results periodically during next few hours , so that visitors can have results at one glance instead of going through pages in election department website.
this table will be updated periodically.


however for more detailed( and sometimes more current ) view you have to go to election department website. you can visit particular result page by clicking result name.
note- when election department website is late with results i will post results from other sources. (these can be distinguished by result name not being hyper linked to ed website)
note 2- updating of totals and other derivative figures may delayed if the results come in a batch

special update -
preference votes
continuing my work here, i am posting elected candadates and their preference votes in a separate post today 04/27/2009

western province provincial council election results online

update 2

given the traffic i am getting for this page i thought that i should update a table of results periodically, so that visitors can have results at one glance instead of going through pages in election department website.
the table is posted in my next post and will be updated periodically.

update 3-
preference votes
continuing work from above, i am posting elected candadates and their preference votes in a separate post today 04/27/2009

--
since i get lot of visitors searching for election results every time an election is held in sri lanka (and sometimes even when the election is in a foreign country) due to my previous election posts, as usual i am giving the link where ppl can actually find election results for western province election results online .

ultimate source is department of elections. when results come they publish online and other media get their official results from there. most of the polling division results will be out before tomorrow morning. preference votes will be counted starting tomorrow

(btw other media has more or less given up publishing so called "unofficial results" these days. these usually were results gathered from counting centers just after they were communicated to election commissioner but before the commissioner has certified them; an advantage of few minutes.)

who will win ?
does anyone needs to ask? upfa with their current popularity will win.

better question is which candidates will get the preference votes to get elected. will corrupt political thugs like duminda silva, shiral lakthilaka (indi.padashow's squeeze these days, and like his previous ones mervyn silva, mangala samaraweera etc. anyone supported by indi is a peacenik thug) and others like them win?

duminda silva probably ( he actually got most votes last time when he was ranil's favorite, but probably will not be 1st this time, though one can never tell). shiral lakthilaka is more dicey; indi will no doubt be excitedly checking preference results tomorrow afternoon to see whether his ... man squeezed in from the bottom, of the list of elected.

in any case, both if elected, will live off taxpayers doing nothing (except for the kickbacks to their corrupt supporters).

෴

update
this election was almost completely peaceful. so much so that i forgot to comment on it above. quite a contrast to a decade or so ago when we almost always had a curfew imposed after the polling, usually lasting throughout next day.
