Mangala – man of integrity

I found Mr. Mangala Samaraweera’s statement in your Guest Column (Sunday Times, August 8, 2010) to be an example of forthrightness and fearlessness, which we seldom, if ever, see in our politicians. His integrity in leaving the SLFP and joining the UNP, while many are doing the reverse, speaks volumes.

How sad for this wonderful country – to which I have returned after spending the greater part of my working life overseas (mainly in the UK and Australia) – that there are so few men of integrity like Mr. Samaraweera.
