WHY
GOTA DESERVES TO STAY
The value of social media is that we do not need to prove
ourselves. To the extent we share on the basis of belief, the value spreads
itself. Each one would translate in
their own way, as per their need.
The question needs to be asked in relation current
protestors in Sri Lanka, as to whether their demands are belief based. As per ‘the
Morning’:
[The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) sent its officers to
monitor the ongoing “Go Home Gota” protests underway at Galle Face Green over
the weekend to ensure that peace is maintained in the area.
“Our officers were at Galle Face Green on both Saturday (16) and Sunday
(17). We want to continuously monitor it to ensure that the protests are
conducted peacefully,” a senior HRCSL official told The Morning yesterday.]
Is it the duty of the Human Rights Commission to monitor such protests? If
yes, why did they not monitor protests in Northern Sri Lanka – by the relatives
of those who disappeared during the height of the war?
In this current situation we are yet to witness violence suffered by
either side. In fact many protestors have been observed ‘dancing and singing’ –
as if they were celebrating. This happened in Colombo after LTTE leader was
declared to have been killed in combat. I was in Colombo at that time and felt
very upset by such insensitive show –
especially in Wellawatte – which is a predominantly Tamil suburb.
Protestors have the responsibility to ‘show’ their pain – based on which
they claim to be protesting. It may be direct pain or group pain of a group
bound by common belief. This morning, I shared as follows with a medical group
discussing the issue under headlines ‘U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AWARDED A CONTRACT FOR ‘COVID-19 RESEARCH’ IN UKRAINE 3
MONTHS BEFORE COVID WAS KNOWN TO EVEN EXIST’:
[Genuine owners have intuition.
Indicators are inner expressions of our intuition - as individuals and /
or as a group. One who truly cares would have the courage to share the
indicators with others. They are like declarations of land rights which are
protected by prescriptive rights. The mainstream media fails often due to weak
intuition.
I intuitively connected to the abuse of Research
funding at the University of NSW. In July 1998, I raised the issue of National Health
& Medical Research Centre -NH&MRC-Grants as follows – at a
meeting with Research Office:
[At the moment we transfer amounts over and above the NH&MRC approved
scales to Materials when we report to NH&MRC. Can we not report exactly as
it is recorded in the Ledger. (This is how it all started – with me
wanting to reflect a true and fair view and them wanting to continue with their
habits – for better or for worse). As for Leave Loading and Contributory
Superannuation can we not do this only for the purpose of the Invoice / Claim –
based on Approved Salaries, as long as the amount claimed is not more than the
amount paid? (This was my way of progressing towards Accrual Accounting so that
the University did not lose due to its attachment to Cash Accounting. Under
Cash Accounting, leave payments would be recouped from NH&MRC only if
the staff took leave during the period of the project. This in essence meant
that the University was picking up the liability even though the NH&MRC was
getting the credit for employing the staff.)]
Back then I was new to UNSW. But my professional
ethics were of high standards. I was given a hard time for revealing my
intuition. Later I contributed to Liverpool Clinical School to restructure
their Accounting system. I resigned later that year but continued to share my
insight as I do now with Sri Lankan matters. A couple of years later I learnt
that migrant staff of the Liverpool school had gone to ABC which accused
Professor Hall of that school of Scientific Fraud. Had they recognised my work
and moved to Democratic system of Accounting and Reporting – they would have
saved the demotion at Public level.
I see a similar pattern with USA in terms of Covid.
This would adversely affect Australia also]
The Human Rights Commission needs to have ‘intuition’ to
pick the risk from either side. Those who are committed to the ethics of their
respective positions would have intuition. Mere intellectual derivation that
the government erred at the Financial level, is invalid to oust a democratically
elected President. We keep getting it wrong again and again
