The HSBC Signature Story and the Mischief Behind It
February 27, 2023
Shame over Balachandran and Halo nostalgia open the day, but the real page is a long comic story about HSBC, signature checks, detention glory, forged paperwork, family reputation, and why handwriting, image, and bad-boy mythology still matter to me.
Comparing California, Israel and Singapore While Defending China
12:45 p.m.
I've thought about it for quite some time. While I think personally my Jewish friends in California are much cooler than my friends in Israel. Because I take it, they must live in a constant state of fear neurosis over Palestinians murdering innocent Jews. I similarly feel my Asian friends in Singapore are much cooler than any of my friends in even Taiwan or Hong Kong or Macau, and mainland China. Because they speak English and had the good luck of having a very cool leader like Lee Kuan Yew. A real rarity. A real outlier who in the statistics of history skews everything on general trends. I think because he was nearly killed by the WW2 era Imperial Japanese. So he lived every day like it's his last. He was a traumatized person. So he was very honest. This man has met Mao and everyone else, who had a Rolls Royce with special shampoo for the carpets he has muddied on a factory visit (ref: Deng or another Chinese leader). Even Chandrasiri Mayakaduwa, he has a nice BMW. Great carpets. We went to beach, got wet, muddied it up. Although, I demanded to keep my slippers in the boot. Problem for Chandrasiri is he is satisfied. He's not thinking like me to ruthlessly grab 80 to 90% of the market for seafood. Make sure we gain a percentage of global sales. They're not very industrious, or as industrious and ambitious as myself.
China is often grouped up by New York Times, British Broadcasting Corporation and many Western and internet news companies: with Russia and Iran. I think it's an unfair characterization. Clearly, Iran is Imperial Mahayana Buddhist Japan in WW2. Russia is now, like the way they themselves got attacked by Germany, they are the modern Nazi Germany. I think China, is really, acting more industriously. Xi Jinping is a good man. I prefer the man (previous Chinese president) he humiliated and forced to leave because I believe in globalization fervently. I like David Ricardo theory on competitive, comparative advantage. Sexy sounding name as my Singapore Uni of Social Sciences econ professor quipped. I don't believe it's fair to say Xi represents 1.3 billion people perfectly. That is a democracy, although they prefer to have a more stable release, based on business as a core foundation. I see a lot of unfair bullying of China. It's like this, yes, first off, they helped us, second they built the Port, because we asked for that. Third, sadly they paid bribes ("gifts") because that's the way it works here. Only I had the nerve to say no. I think I must be famous, as my name's interpretation in Arabic goes, for saying no, for refusing. That's why I'm despised so much. Sandalal, who is Thilanga's best friend told me over a recorded call, bla bla, "you have the audacity to call me? After writing a letter like that (Potential Conflict of Interest) to his ("my") general manager. Forget about it! I won't let you get through the front door of People's Bank." (As he's scared, any deal he makes with us makes him look guilty).
These are just "third world thugs". People have spotted them, have no respect for them, and are all too eager to get me in public office now. I'm surprised by my popularity. Everyone. All ages. All professions. All educated, experienced and very cool people. They all want me getting in somehow. Even Thilanga hated Upali because Upali has recorded a phone call on Mark Mascarenas complaining about having to pay 50% up-front to Thilanga for television rights for WorldTel. But also then being asked for the other 50%.
So cheap. I'm ashamed of these people. I'm still only putting Thilanga as 1st speaker because he's my uncle and won't shut up or stop making "I'm going to murder you" faces. Ever since I only visited Upali in hospital, to try to help. He's acted like a violent loser and a real coward to try murder me (or was just pretended to want to!). Hang me. Lie I've "killed himself in a suicide". What a f***ing loser. I'm telling Upali to publish the full recording when I'm head of state. Udesh and Chandrika will be 2nd and 3rd speaker. To watch that guy, and my back more importantly, because I doubt he can do it. Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena and anyone else can do it. I prefer Chamath. But see, we're not crooks besides this obviously disturbed guy. So we won't steal. The ministers have more power. I only do transparency, leadership and accountability or inclusivity as head of state. I need Chamath Palihapitiya running Finance Ministry because this is the most important ministry for us given this disaster society arising out of many decades of losses.
When doing FCPA, we will be mindful, and honest, and say, look here Judge, I know they broke the law. But China is a friend of our people. They were always here for us, for many centuries. China won the war for us. This country belongs to them along the political rhetoric drummed out by Rajapaksa. And myself, because we built the ███████████████ at Edna Engineering to win the war. Dhammika and Sumal bought stuff, marked it up by multiplication digits, and sold to the taxpayer. Dhammika guns. Sumal helicopters. Pium Pieris' husband bought armored personnel carriers. Sumal got not bullet proof armored vests. We supplied Edna Chocolates to every soldier.
When we do deal with China, I will always say, that the materials, construction, operational port, we can cooperate, even if the total debts and loss-making business is cancelled. They will also most likely stop the steroids of bribery or unfeasible political patron public officials and projects that don't have a return.
Suspecting a Cyberattack and Planning a Bank of Sri Lanka Monopoly
3:45 p.m.
I notice, that when my screenshots are arranged, auto sort by date, a screengrab I took of Ravi Liyanage is showing as 1st item under many sort types. It's a high risk of cyber attack by China gov to the chip set or system on chip or some deeper recess of this machine. The announce the time doesn't work at all. There must be trojans like Shifu or a modern 0day exploit on this machine.
ref: Finance Department
I'm keen on Finance Dept. being a replacement for the Finance Ministry. We want to totally reform and avoid the old terms as it is confusing even to use these terms as remnants of the old failed state. I think it's okay personally. I don't know, i don't really care.
Anyway. We will butcher and takeover the whole banking and finance sector through our new Bank of Sri Lanka. BOSL will be given a full monopoly charter. This is where our assets will be moved. A lot of money will be moved here. We will expect value of assets under management to rise all over
This is insider trading I guess or insider information
But not really
I am that one person with freedom of speech, in this censored world.
I think I can do anything or say anything
The Bank of Sri Lanka AUM will go up to around $50 to 60 billion.
Because we're using eminent domain to grab everything, then leasing or releasing it out to private owners here, and then also, using it to own the whole country. We can then, get balance sheet Assets, up to max.
I think the Bank of Ceylon used to have $1 to 2b sales.
Now, I'm not sure. I need my data back.
People's Bank, even with this low calibre third world thug types like ████████, because it's a state duopoly or tri poly with National Savings Bank
They are the big public assets.
People's around $1b sales.
This means, that as we grab the whole banking and finance market, it's close to around $9.5b dollars sales.
With eminent domain, that asset figure goes up to very high numbers like $50b
I think it will go up to the $200, $300, $400 and target $500 billion mark.
We need Jim Robinson, and this guy Kanchana probably will meet these people to figure this operation out.
Running Joke :
"It will really, be not a mergers and acquisitions, and if you let a ***** like Mary Harron who stole Oliver Stone's directorial credits for American Psycho, if you ask her to spell, she will always spell it mergers and aquisitions: this will in our case, definitely be what Patrick Bateman told that very careless bartender, murders and assassinations in business. A butchery."
But because unlike these people like Anura or Sajith or Dhammika or Rajapaksa or anyone else, we're clever, know what we're doing and can get this done successfully--to make sure we're able to get the results.
It's very important for us, to get our bank all the way up to $4 - 500 billion.
I'm sure that the private banks, can at the permission of depositors, who will always be paid full interest rates on savings by law, we will let bankers assess feasibility and offer up loans at their risk on collateral or whatever, sustainably, as long as it's done openly, honestly and resourcefully.
A Joke About HSBC, My Signature and School Mischief
4:00 p.m.
This is a joke :
When i visited HSBC in UK, some very wicked lady, who was trying her best to f*** with me and piss me off. (She was pretty hot). She made me wait to check my stupid signature.
So I have two signatures now. One is just a √ tick like David Sanders, not the colonel freemason who liked chicken, or stole a black person's recipe.
No, it was my Colombo International School principal who congratulated me when I got multiple detentions before his secretary corrected him, after he had shook hands with me and another fellow Thevin Gamage hehehe.
I was like, "Thank you Sir" (though I don't really like this term now, as I believe in equality). "I worked very hard".
(With such a serious face, because those detentions were very hard work, and I loved the acknowledgement that Steve Jobs denied his Apple people).
He was looking at me in shock, for the snake I am. He didn't know what to say. "Oh that's not good". Hehhee He had this D S or some flow signature. I think he signed multiple certificates. I was a very wicked young boy in school. I did so many horrible things growing up, besides throwing dye in the pool which was Chamindra Gamage or a friend of his, or egging my French teacher Miss ███████████ house which was Jonathan (my publicist; who makes D*** Cheney refuse calls from his duck hunting friend; joke)
Hi, it's me. I'm the problem. It's me. Hi. It's me. I'm the problem.. it's me.
Everyone agrees. Everyone agrees. (What good's the point of Apple-tier public relations if you can't deal with the bad press or how cool i am perceived by everyone? PR is all about disaster or crisis management and clean up duty)
No, it was Udesh and Shahan and someone.
They made me do it.
I was always just forced into doing things.

"That's my family Kay, not me".
Boo
Argh it's him, run away
Anyway.
This
My mum has HSBC Premier. Originally in the UK, they refused to talk to me. Because a lot of foreign, international students had taken overdrafts or exploited the bank and left the UK. I think when my mum spoke, said she's a Premium or Premier member. They suddenly took me up to the 3rd flow and gave me the card.
Later, when I had to get something I can't remember done. I went there. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
███████████████████████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Just joking. It's also another running joke.
So, she was like, uhh, wait a minute. Made me wait in the 1st floor for like 15 f***ing minutes, as though I had nothing better to do. And then, she made me sign my signature. A beautiful flow, Lehan Edirisinghe. I only use LE in Sri Lanka as a tick mark because these people care so much for signatures, being that they are medieval era people using fax machines.
Later, she came back, bla bla bla
Apparently, the full name, Lehan Edirisinghe, I couldn't remember where I had or was supposed to join the flow letters. So it was wrong. I think Le han and E dirisinghe or something was supposed to be connected.
Can you imagine?
I felt like that poor man, in The Godfather, when those "two b***ards" they "smiled at me", when this cruel, horrible person, she frustrated me on purpose.
Because I know how to deal with these kinds of "people".

Whatever.
Ever since then, I have only used and ever write with Lehan Edirisinghe with no flow letters, or joining letters
I also always write the same way. Clean, easy to read and looks great.
I think only Jonathan has also got as good handwriting, or Shenelle Siriwardene, although my handwriting (which is my actual handwriting; not calligraphy), it's slightly better than their handwriting.
