CHINESE CHICKEN PREFERRED
OVER SRI LANKAN GOLDEN EGG?
I was
at Nallur Temple when the Printers called me. To me that was blessings from
Nallur Murugan to publish my book ‘Jaffna
is my Heritage Not Dowry’. I took a tuk-tuk to the printers. On the way my
eyes were drawn to the painting of Kadayit Swami and I took that also as a
blessing. These are like Key Performance Indicators. One who is an insider
would recognize strengths and weaknesses as Indicators and not need ‘proof’. This is a huge reason for separation of powers
between the Judiciary and the Executive. The Executive should not need Proof.
The Judiciary does up to a point. The Executive is part of an elected
government and hence to the extent the election was through Belief – the Executive
becomes the senior through whom the citizen/junior sees her/himself. The
outcome produced by the Executive is on behalf of the People and no more. The Judiciary on the other hand is appointed
and not elected. Where the Judiciary is required to meet certain intellectual
criteria – such as knowledge of law – the Judiciary has the duty to observe
first and then if necessary use discretionary powers as if they are the Common
Citizen. This however should not contradict the evidence based outcome. Affidavits
by litigants are part of this. In democracy, the discretionary power of the
Judge has to be Equal or less than the Affidavit power exercised by the common
litigant in the matter. Affidavits by lawyers are merely part of the process.
They do not go towards empowerment of the Judges to use Discretionary powers.
Kadayit
Swami who is Chellappa Swami’s (Yoga Swami’s Guru) Guru blessed my great
grandfather A M Pillai to go to Burma/Myanmar. I have included that heritage
also in my book. Hence I took the ‘sight’ of Kadayit Swami as a blessing
including from my great grandfather. I regularly pay my respects to my maternal
uncle Ratnum Durai who was tortured to death in custody by the Japanese Kenpeitai on 22 January 1944. My great grandfather A M Pillai
was a very successful businessman in Burma. I attribute that success to the
blessings of Kadayit Swami.
It was in that strategic mind structure – that I
read the South Asia Mirror article ‘Will
China’s strategic embrace of Myanmar spell more trouble for Rohingyas?’ by .
It is my understanding that Rohingyas, the
way I identify with that of Tamils. Hence the regional depth at which our minds
become common. This took me to the Economy Next article ‘Sri Lanka ate the Chinese chicken instead of collecting eggs: Academic’
by Chanka Jayasinghe.
As a true Sri Lankan – the picture that came to my
mind through my insight was how that now
I rank higher than the Chinese visitors who in August last year did not have to
wait in the queue for hours to get the visa but had special status clearance.
Now the situation is as follows:
[Sri Lankan students returning from Wuhan to
be transferred to Army camp] Colombo Gazzette.
As
per my belief - all manifestations and expressions – eventually become Energy.
Negative Energy leads also to negligence, whereas positive Energy protects one
from the effects of that negligence. This is why we have memorials – so as to weaken
our own negative Energies and to strengthen our own positive Energies.
Chanka
reports:
[“The
western approach, which we have seen in Africa and Sri Lanka, is like giving
you the chicken and you eat the chicken as a chicken soup. That way you will be
on huge debt,” he said.
He said China did not trap Sri
Lanka in debt.
“Many people talk about the debt.
Yes, even China bought money in the beginning, from the Asian Development Bank.
A huge amount of money. There is no trap.” Wang said.
“If it is a trap, then 137
countries should be in that trap now.”
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
is a global development strategy adopted by the Chinese government in 2013
involving infrastructure development and investments in 152 countries and
international organizations in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the
US.
Jayanath Colombage, additional
secretary (foreign affairs) to the President, too backed Wang, saying Sri
Lanka is in a debt trap not because of China but due to a poor economy.]
The above is the parallel of the RAND statement that
‘ISIS Didn't Choose Sri Lanka, But Sri Lankan Group Chose ISIS’ http://www.slguardian.org/2019/05/isis-didnt-choose-sri-lanka-but-sri.html
When does that happen? When one sees oneself as a
weak player because one lacks confidence due to being small. THAT is when one
confirms ‘Separatism’ instead of Independence. LTTE went to India because it
sought Separatism so it could be the Royal group. That is exactly what JVP also
wanted. JVP copied Sinhala Politicians who ‘saw’ Separatism instead of
Commonness. LTTE copied JVP. The Sri
Lankan Government led by Mr SWRD Bandaranaike was the first to claim Sinhala
Only State. This was copied by LTTE through the Tamil only state. Such claims
without belief deteriorate to become negative Energy ‘in waiting’. They can be
diffused by submission to a Positive Energy. They cannot be ‘corrected’.
As per Wikipedia:
[Burmese special economic zone being developed
on Kyaukphyu, Ramree Island, Rakhine State.
Kyaukphyu SEZ was first announced in September 2013. The project initially
began as a joint venture between the Chinese and Burmese governments, but has
since transitioned to private developers. Kyaukphyu SEZ will be accessible
to the Shwe gas field in the Bay of Bengal. The
oil and gas terminal was financed by the China National Petroleum Corporation which
built two pipelines for natural gas and oil]
Like Trincomalee in Sri Lanka Kyauk Phyu has Natural
Harbour which according to Wikipedia ‘connects the rice trade between Calcutta and Yangon.’ If China
had chosen Trincomalee instead of Hambantota – that would have confirmed ‘invasion’.
Trincomalee which is the home electorate of the current leader of Tamil
National Alliance – the Hon Rajavarothayam Sampanthan – is home territory of Hindus
through their belief in Lord Shiva at Thiru Koneswaram temple . It is Natural that through Buddhism –
China would consider Hambantota which is the home territory of the Rajapaksas –
to be a junior part of itself – especially where relativity through Buddhism is
part of the Sri Lankan Constitution through Article 9 which gives Buddhism not
Absolute Status as Buddha’s Nirvana – but relative ‘foremost’ status. Using the
same rule – China has 244,130,000 Buddhists
relative to Sri Lanka’s 14,450,000 Buddhists. Hence, using the First Past the Post
system – China has ruling power over Buddhist Sri Lanka. That explains why
Hambantota was preferred over Trincomalee which is foreign area to China.
Kyauk Phyu like Hambantota was ‘handed over’ to China by Myanmar government which lacked the
confidence to be senior to the folks to rebelling community in Arakan / Rakhine
State. Like the Sri Lankan Buddhists they are also Theravada Buddhists.
Theravada Buddhism is very much a cultural thread in the Belt and Road
Initiative that the Chinese Government began in 2013. Countries where non-Buddhist minorities are discriminated against until they become
foreigners to the rulers – naturally become willing donors of those communities
to nations where their own religious followers are in Majority. That was how
Sri Lankan Tamils were effectively repatriated to India – and Arakan
Muslims were repatriated / evicted to countries like Bangladesh. Those minorities who are in pain lack the
confidence to think for themselves. So we run away. Eventually, if we do not
feel for our folks who had no place to run to or who had the courage to face the
difficulties – we become mercenaries.
All incomplete experiences remain separated as
positive Energy and negative Energy. Our respective heirs by character are
empowered by the Energy we generate. If their experience is negative ours also
becomes negative in a different form due to time and place changes. Thus Arakan
Muslims who were unjustly persecuted would have empowered Sri Lankan Muslims
who gave up on their Sovereignty. Even if the only space we have custody over
is the space we are standing on – we must develop the consciousness that we own
it through use of it without disturbing another human being who also has
Sovereign power even though s/he may not identify with it. Déjà vu happens due to those incomplete Energies.
One who discriminates without showing Equality – separates. One who accepts such discrimination
accepts separation and therefore status as foreigner.
So did we Sri Lankans eat the Chinese Chicken due to
our lack of confidence that we can lay golden eggs too?
