During those days Ceylon had the best education system and the best administration staff. Malaysia gained enormously under British rule.

In the past, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) was a model for other countries in Asia as Sri Lanka was the wonder of Asia in the 1950s, so the founder of modern Singapore wanted to consider Sri Lanka as his model to develop Singapore. The founder of modern Singapore recruited English-educated, eminent Sri Lankan scholars to develop Singapore. Late Hon. Lee Kuan Yew was a visionary leader as well as a practical politician, and he had better knowledge to identify suitable people from other countries to develop Singapore. He paid special attention to Sri Lanka because Sri Lanka was successful compared to other countries in the region. However, as time passed, due to the “corrupt political culture”, this wonderful paradise gradually crumbled and at some point, Sri Lanka officially went bankrupt. People who have voted for corrupt politicians for decades have repeatedly fallen into the pits of lies and learned many lessons related to politics through practical examples. In this critical context, the majority of people openly criticized the corrupt politicians and wanted a “new change” for the betterment of the people and especially the future, unborn generations! AKD and NPP surfaced at the moment because of their good credentials in the parliament! People are now very educated about politics as they have been able to experience a lot of political events in the country for a long time. So, Sri Lankan politics has now reached a mature stage, and therefore the politicians cannot deceive the common people, on the other hand, without being political slaves, the people now come forward and express their opinions openly. People come forward and say, "this is right and this is wrong," so people are smart now! This is a very progressive trend in Sri Lankan politics!”
