(Lanka-e-News -11.Oct.2016, 11.30PM) A video camera reporter of the presidential media division had tripped and fallen into the swimming pool while he was reporting on the president’s events , according to a most intriguing report reaching Lanka e news.
Janaka Saman Weerasinghe who was videofilming the president’s events during his recent tour of Thailand had been moving backwards while videotaping , and had tripped and fallen into the swimming pool behind with his camera .
This accident is more a matter for shock and no laughing matter, vis a vis its background….
Nowhere in the world does a videofilming reporter carries out his reporting without an assistant. Though Weerasinghe had an assistant , the presidential media division chief has not permitted him to travel to Thailand with his assistant. Hence he had gone alone. Weerasinghe has been moving backwards to ensure that the camera captures the scenes , and since there was no one to warn him , he had accidentally fallen into the swimming pool.
Though Weerasinghe was lucky to escape death and something to feel happy about , the presidential media chief cannot disclaim responsibility over this incident , and he is absolutely blameworthy. This accident truly constitutes an insult to the country’s leader .
It will not be wrong if the president also has to accept the blame partly pertaining to this incident for appointing presidential media chiefs

Mr. Weerasinge is one lucky media man. Think what might have happened if the President was instead visiting Adam's Peak or the Grand Canyon in Ameirca with Mr Weerasinge in tow!
