The fate of Rs. 25 million worth teleprompter used by MR to camouflage his faltering speeches...

(Lanka-e-News -04.March.2016, 11.30PM) During the reign of Medamulana Mahinda Rajapakse , that is the period  he kept the people trampled under his iron despotic boots, in order to speak in Sinhalese without reading a paper and to hide his faltering delivery  in Sinhala , as well as to make speeches in the languages Tamil   and English which he does not know , he had spent about Rs. 25 million of public funds , according to an accidental discovery made by  the present officers of the Presidential secretariat.

Mahinda Rajapakse the most notorious megalomaniac with a view to show off  that he knows all three languages , has used a teleprompter device spending Rs. 24 million , based on the figures available with the accounts miantenance   of the presidential secretariat .

This came to light because the incumbent president on the contrary does not  falter when he speaks , and has no need to say ‘aney apoiy’ falteringly. Hence as the  teleprompter fell  into disuse , an inquiry was conducted.

This teleprompter spending Rs. 24 million has been got down not by the Media ministry , Information department,   Film Corporation , or any other State Institution associated with them , and there isn’t any mention to whom the payment was made, but the expenditure towards this has been clearly  made  mention in the accounting records .

Since the  teleprompter is not worth Rs. 25 million , it has triggered  suspicions that  there has been a sizeable illicit commission collected somewhere in this connection  down the line .One who committed robbery even  in respect of  bouquets  committing robbery via teleprompter is not a matter for surprise.

Medamulana Mahinda was actually  making speeches  in Tamil , the language he does not know without even reading a note  to impress that he is a  veteran to the people, only by looking at the transliterated Sinhala version of the Tamil Language using large letters ,and after that is displayed on the teleprompter screen . This is of course akin to Mohideen Baig singing sinhala songs. Since Baig could not read Sinhalese , he wrote the songs in Tamil and  sang them. That is why he pronounced the words in the sinhala song  as ‘Obe ragee mana kelambedho.’ Perhaps, the Tamil people did not laugh at Mahinda’s Tamil speech based on the same grounds that tolerated   Mohideen Baig’s sinhala pronunciation. However it cannot be forgotten , Mahinda   who struggled hard and stammered to speak Tamil to impress , convince and win over the Tamil people , could not hide his baser instincts and gross hypocrisy which he betrayed clearly when he opposed the singing of the  national anthem  in Tamil.

The teleprompter aforestated had two screens. Though to the cameras Mahinda was  looking at the people on both sides when he was speaking , he was in fact looking at the  two teleprompter screens kept hidden not known to anyone. The screens were carefully concealed among flowers.

Unfortunately , on one occasion , a teleprompter screen camouflage leaked out  via a photograph published by the Lake house  media , thereby exposing Medamulana’s behind the scene racket . Medamulana who is so vociferous on behalf of media freedom today , turned vicious and venomous then against the media so much so, he immediately threatened the photographer who was responsible for that mistake. That victimised journalist by the name of Malaweera is the husband of Vineetha M Gamage of Lankadeepa.

Interestingly, Mahinda Rajapakse first  got down this teleprompter because he could not speak Sinhala smoothly without stammering. Though State leaders of the world used teleprompters when making only important speeches , Mahinda on the other hand used it for every speech of his , without which he was  stranded on the crossroads. Being a megalomaniac  who is as hollow as is shallow , resorted to all the subterfuges and camouflages to speak without reading a paper , because he wanted to puff himself with the false pride he is a great orator .

His inability and weakness are now clearly borne testimony to by the blabbering and stammering of his  when he is speaking without the aid of teleprompters.  This is because , he has not ‘heard and learnt’ in his life, and not read books. Instead of making reading books a habit (a habit of great men and encouraged by great teachers)  he made  setting fire to books his habit like how he did to the precious  library of Lanka e news website portal , and the Colombo Kacheri . 

In Jathaka tales it is revealed those who set fire to books are born as dumb and deaf in their next birth. Therefore when Mahinda Rajapakse is born in the next birth as a deaf mute- while hoping  we shall not have the misfortune of meeting him in that birth , might we warn him , no teleprompter can help him no matter how much money in millions and billions he spends on it !
