However, unlike most, I also gave up the defense and home departments out of respect for the ████████████████, and because I felt Sirisena's handling was inadequate. I believe he ████████████████████████████ for what happened, and I remain troubled that the outcome was a relatively small █████████████ after years of reports, warnings, and appeals by █████████████████████.

While it's true I might know some senior people in ███████████████████████████████, and I sometimes mention that, I do not use those contacts or capabilities to punish or attack others. I don't prioritize the recovery of state assets, as I consider it of limited value compared with other priorities. I would have handled certain economic issues differently — for example, replacing LKR, a highly inflated currency, with LKD or SLD, or Sri Lanka Dollars, at a 1,000 to 1 ratio, because I see Sri Lanka as a business and would seek a trading advantage. In that process we would have investigated local assets. I would have asked the public to vote on cases online, since I lack confidence in the judiciary. When politicians hold unexplained wealth — for example, ████████████████████████████████████████ — I would suggest the wealth is concerning; those accused might challenge such claims legally. I know trust is difficult these days, but I believe many people do not want a failed state and will support recovering misappropriated resources. Thirty percent or more voted against the Rajapaksa family; 90% voted against them in some contests. I also regret to observe I am not a theravada buddhist: I do not embrace restorative approaches associated with that tradition. I tend to favor ████████████████████████ informed by █████████████████████████████████████████, which creates a difference between my views and those of many in the public who are more inclined toward forgiveness and reconciliation. For those who expect quick pardon after serious wrongdoing, the contrast is real. This perspective affects cases involving █████████████, ████████, and the ████████████████, and I find that concerning for the Buddhist community and for broader public trust. In the past, I observed disputes along ethnic lines, such as between ████████ and ███████████████, that were treated as us-versus-them, which is worth noting as part of the context.

Today, on my way to walk in Independence Square,
