Back then it is only because people were suffering in ques that they voted for UNP otherwise the majority naive people of SL didn't bring UNP to power with understanding and farsightedness. Whenever the economy gets improved by the UNP, they get fooled to nationalism and to talks and ways of their kind and bring the so called socialists. The situation has become worse by now with more and more upperclass people having left the country thus leaving the country under control of the wishes of the naive " baiyyas". This is what happened during the 75 years.

JRJ Was a Class Act. We miss people of that nature. Japan sent a representative to his funeral and that representative openly cried. Japan gave us Jaya container terminal at the Port of Colombo and it was named after JRJ. It still remains the largest container terminal in Sri Lanka an fully owned by the people. He was a great man and never made money for himself.

Perhaps he was not corrupt like Premadasan, but he had much blood on his hands....

Yup, a class act who destroyed the legislature through the introduction of the Executive, and destroyed the future of the country by fanning the flames of communalism. Do not forget that it was he who first proposed the ‘sinhala only’ act

[@lorenpual372]

@@bornforbanning It was SWRD who enacted it . Basically SLFP was the party that promoted racist nationalism and suppressed minorities.

[@bornforbanning]

@@lorenpual372 No doubt. But it is a shortsighted view to blame only one party, when the UNP under so called ‘father of the nation’ DS (who hated the estate tamils) disenfranchised tamils of Indian origin, and under JR saw the destruction of the Jaffna library under racialists such as Gamini Dissanayake and destruction of the country under UNP racists such as Cyril Matthew in the 83 riots. Of course, the UNP even turned on the sinhala majority during their actions during the 87-89 insurrection, as did the JVP although they were not fixated on race. Meanwhile, the ITAK and FP under Tamil racial supremacists such as GG Ponnambalam and SJV Chelvanayagam (educated fools) sowed the seeds from 1939 onwards for the coming crisis. To pretend this race based curse prevalent in Sri Lanka to this day is uniquely an SWRD/SLFP problem is to gloss over history, and frankly delusional. All parties including latterly the Muslim ‘representatives’ are to blame for our sorry mess.

I do not know how many people will understand this. He ridicules the American Democracy. He is stating that if a presidential candidate in US gets 51.3% of the votes should hopefully win. However, this does not always happen look at 2016, Hillary 48.2 and Trump 46.1. He also states the riches of our history, stating that US is of very recent origin compared to his motherland. Citing better than history professors of modern times where that history is recorded. He makes the audience laugh, even Frank Sinatra, 'My Way' and one has to see what a meaningful song that is. Most of all, he said these things not in Colombo at his Presidential House. He said it in the White House when he was hosted by Mr. Reagan. That is the class we can not even dream of now.

[@Chrisanthie]

What a class act by JR. entire speech off the cuff, no readings from prepared notes. His wide knowledge of history, music, politics , and his sense of humour, put the American president in second place. Which other leader of SL can boast of such attainments, and hold his own in the presence of world leaders ? He was so humble despite his greatness. I remember how he visited the ministry office in Ward place, just a few meters away from his home, when he was the minister of higher education while being the president of the country. Sadly though, he did not receive the last respects and a decent farewell he deserved as an ex-president, during the reign of CBK. Does any one have similar footage of his speech he gave in favour of Japan, after japan's atrocities in WW 2 ? Japan has been ever so grateful, and all the aid since given to SL was in honour of and in gratitude towards JR 's speech in their favour.

[@legendgre]

Some FACTS He is Very diplomatic and good in English @10:20 he justifies all his atrocities he did back home blaming other groups instead of being a real selfishless leader who takes responsibilities for the bad and share credits with the people for the goods that happened... Either he let it happen or he couldn't control what happened, Indra Gandhi from India had to send the ambassador to stop. So what he says over there is a lie. He also clearly states he wants everyone to forget a genocide he let happen in 1983 July against Tamils. Yet till now families can't remember their dead in Tamil majority areas. A year after the riots and genocide , he had the most warming welcome at White House, weldone America. He further states it will be forgotten like an ignorant and ramps up a civil war in the country after he leaves US. As a result JRJ created VP

@@Rose-dh3ec, you are a JR hater, sinhalese mobs attacked innocent tamils, provoked by the killing of 13 soldiers in jaffna by ltte. This is not the first time it happened and JR had nothing to do with those attacks. In our areas, most of the mobs and gangs who attacked innocent tamils comprised of jvpiers and Slfpiers.However i agree with you that he was wrong to have done nothing to stop the killings.
