JR and SL acted on what they believed was necessary to gain control of the country
However, I fully acknowledge — as I have said before, even when I spoke critically about podi hamaduru at his funeral
I recognize that the JVP and many poor people were placed in such painful, desperate and unsustainable circumstances that they could not endure
Podi and many monks have treated me kindly because of my family's wealth; they attributed it to good karma and noble birth
But honestly, I am skeptical of that explanation
And I do not accept it as the full account
Lakbima newspapers, with a weak circulation of ████████████████████████████published misleading accounts
I do not engage in deception
████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
It is inhumane to treat people as less than human
This, I believe, is why some monks supported Premadasa, aligning with a powerful security apparatus
I feel deep empathy for the children among Tamils who were killed in bombings, including incidents that affected No Fire Zones

They were used to stop an evil terrorist group who tried to steal a part of Sri Lanka to claim as a separate country.
Those would have resulted in civil wars which would have lasted decades longer because Sri Lanka would never have accepted it.
There would then be lies about a "two state" solution.
There has been peace since 2009; there have been no reports of "racism" or "discrimination" since then
The LTTE leadership would have been quick to claim such lies had they been around, so they can mobilize further calls to violence
The lack of any reports of racism proves that there was no real "genocide", as that requires focused race versus race contempt
The black july incident, is a "pogrom", however, which scared all of us deeply as we saw people respond to injustice with anger
Prabhakaran was just a terrorist leader like Osama Bin Laden
I believe the Tamil people experienced severe oppression and prolonged marginalization by the majority Sinhalese over many years
The extreme cruelty and its consequences are deeply unacceptable
Yet, despite this, they have shown remarkable resilience and compassion
I am uncertain about Kamala, about the details of how we were attacked, and about the broader implications of LTTE tactics such as suicide bombing
I think people need adequate economic support; we need political stability, functioning institutions, and responsible media coverage to make progress

Our SLFT will be like the House of Saud, who own Saudi Arabia's 2m square kilometers as the royalty of their Kingdom.
I believe broad sharing would not be productive.
I do not see the benefit of doing so.
I believe they may not have the necessary background to use or maintain it effectively.
I think it is preferable not to proceed with broad dissemination.

We are planning to privatize many assets, including every SLWF asset, and to offer voting interests as part of market transactions.

Some people called me in the UK and expressed disapproval about my choice to be a Christian.
I'm not really a full Christian.
I'm more like a Judeo-Christian.
When people ask me, I often say I'm secular, as it is the most truthful response.
It stops a lot of confusion.
When you are an expert, you can explain at five levels: for little children, for teenagers, for younger students, advanced learners and professors.
Sometimes, when it's obvious I know more, the best thing to do is tell them what they will understand.
And to me, "I'm secular" works wonders.
It helps avoid their expectations.
Those expectations are handled more easily.
