Sri Lanka had over 30 years civil war and we have been sufferring a lot and at least 1 person from every sri lankan familiy has effected by this war. Now the war is over and time has come to develop this county for our future childran. Do not think in a narrow minded way the development is happenning in Sri Lanka.

If Kandalama Hotel was not constructed due to the proests now we do not have such a place to bring forign currecy and create jobs and develp the community in those areas. If Kothmale power plant is not constructed Sri Lanka will not have enogh electricty capacity to cater to increase demand of electricity. The cultivation going on in Kandakaduwa area is brigning millions of foriegn currency to the country and create jobs and develop the community of the area. We have to think of the people of the area and enhance the livestyle of the those people who have been effected due to the war for last 30 year.

People are against this is sitting in Colombo and they do not know the real situation of the pulse of those poor people in those rural areas such as Kandakaduwa. Therefore do not think of what is happenning now and alway think of the future of Sri Lanka and how can we develop this country for the future to meet the future challenges. This is all of us have to get to gether and do it and making pettion and alway aganst for the good things are not the correct way of doing things. We as Sri Lankans must be proud company like Dole in Sri Lanka and helping to develop the nation. We need more multinationals coming to Sri Lanka and create more jobs and assisting to the national GDP.

Mr. Meri Brown, You will not find any one more than you and your wife to sign for this petition since Sri Lankan love this county to develop and not to be alway opose for everything happenning for good for the future. So be wise and think of a way to bring this nation to develop and not opose what others do....

Thank you.....

Truly Sri Lankan love this mother land.

Development is a requirement, but need not be a death sentence for the ecological wealth of a nation.

Developing Sri Lanka: Your attempts to rectify this obtuse use of power and disregard for the complexities of nature and livlihood should be refuted. There are ways to grow cash crops, sustinence crops and resource crops that do not directly and without remorse impact the biodiversity and welfare of a nation.

The short sighted benefits of an approaching banana economy should not outweigh the long-term impacts of rash decisions.

I don't believe it. Yes I do... How could they destroy the habitat of so many creatures that depend on the forest for their surviival. Guess I have to put them in my evil folder.
