Corrupt Lawyers indicate Corrupt Justice system

[Meehan’s LinkedIn profile features a quote from US lawyer Clarence Darrow that: “To be an effective criminal defence counsel, an attorney must be prepared to be demanding, outrageous, irreverent, blasphemous, a rogue, a renegade and a hated, isolated and lonely person.”

Less than 24 hours before he pleaded guilty, Meehan updated his Facebook profile with a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator with the catchphrase: “I’ll be back.”] The Courier Mail article under the heading ‘Former high-profile solicitor Tim Meehan has pleaded guilty to fraud

I smiled – placing the LTTE in place of Mr. Meehan. When Sinhalese celebrated the defeat of LTTE on the roads of Colombo in 2009, some young Tamils around me said ‘More Prabhakarans will be born’ – which is the parallel statement of Mr. Meehan’s ‘I’ll be back’ declaration. Each time a Sinhalese who is a ‘foreigner’ to Tamils calls the LTTE ‘Terrorists’ the ‘other side’ of that pleasure of unearned authority is born – at the deeper level of the two sides represented. When irrelevant judgments are delivered for ‘gossip’ purposes against one who upholds the Truth the roots of that side are damaged  and disorder happens beyond their control.

In a Court of Law, when Truth is published to uphold Natural Justice any relevant law would bow to that Truth to become a facility for that Truth to become the law in that environment. British Judges of Indian Courts expressed respect for Gandhi for that reason.

I learnt about corrupt lawyers when I expressed in Court  the Truth that the University of NSW (UNSW) needed as per my discovery. The law I used was the Racial Discrimination Act  1975 which is least practiced in Administration by Australian Administrators and Politicians, but is most needed to be part of the global community through higher education. The mandate of  a University is to seek and find the Truth through Research and share that discovery through Teaching.  I performed at the highest level of standards known to me even when I was paid far less than my White Australian parallels. The difference when absorbed developed ownership in the work of the minds that discovered the  Anti Discrimination Law in a Multicultural society.  By accepting my lower returns – I became one minded with them – and hence understand  the above quotation by US lawyer Clarence Darrow that: “To be an effective criminal defence counsel, an attorney must be prepared to be demanding, outrageous, irreverent, blasphemous, a rogue, a renegade and a hated, isolated and lonely person.”

To be part of the disorderly system of the UNSW I had to demonstrate conduct that would show me to be disorderly and thus bring out the Truth of the Disorderly in a ‘free’ Association. In an environment that is true to itself – the ‘other’ side would become my opposition. Where this ‘other’ side includes ‘judges’ and I am punished, that environment makes me an enemy of itself and breeds pro terrorism karma.

 Gandhi expressed his Truth which reflected disobedience as well as actions in breach of the law and earned  the punishment of imprisonment through laws ‘foreign’ to majority Indians. When the judge so punishing merely applies the letter of the law as per his duty – it is like Gandhi punishing himself. But where judges went  further than the letter of the law and tried to ‘show’ authority – they bred pro terrorism karma which is still haunting Britain.

When we actively use current measures – we prevent past karma from invoking itself. But when we neglect current measures relevant to our current environment and our position in that environment we invoke our past karma for better or for worse. When we are naturally true to the position through which we earn authority to judge and to discipline insiders and punish outsiders, even our thoughts go towards repairing the roots of a damaged system. This invokes also similar Energies beyond time and place borders. That was how Sri Lankan Tamils won the position of Opposition Leadership in National Parliament, when majority race failed to uphold its own race’s stated principles and values of the past. Lord Buddha is one such elder to majority Sinhalese and like Thesawalamai for Tamils of Northern Sri Lanka, this was embedded into the Common Constitution in addition to the Customary Kandyan Law applicable to Sinhalese. In effect that provision ‘Buddhism Foremost’ effectively sets aside all other provisions of Constitution that do not show a connection to this root. One has to become a Buddhist Politician in mind to know this root. When such politician is at the root – there is no place for Buddha who renounced position benefits to discover the Truth at grassroots level.

Democracy in Administration is ‘foreign’ language to those who have the autocratic genes. I resigned from my UNSW position after hearing Ms Pauline Hanson in August 1998 say to us migrants who did not want to ‘assimilate’ with majority – to go back home. But the true Australians who were also suffering due to ‘foreign laws’ asked me to stay and I forewent the bigger opportunity to stay within their boundaries. Hence when I went to prison for ‘Peaceful Assembly’ I facilitated the Truth of the University to surface Itself – i.e. – that the University was so disorderly that it would threaten through armed forces rather than use the intellectual pathway to uphold its own Truth.

Yesterday Ms Hanson was in hot waters again for claiming that children with disabilities should have separate classrooms. One who was hurt by her observations in 1998 – that migrants who do not assimilate must go back home – would not be surprised by the above expressions. It’s all about separation so Ms. Hanson would mark herself ‘right’ as per the locals in her group who are yet to release themselves from the White Australia policy which was ‘right’ for the government of that time. Ms Hanson like the above lawyer was being true to her part of  Australian society. Like the more educated  Sinhalese in Sri Lankan society who were hurt by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa,  White Australians who have invested in global principles and values, are getting upset now for the same nature surfacing again – this time to damage their own investments. If  Ms Hanson had been disciplined back then by using Global principles that Australian Government has foremost commitment to – Australians would have been saved the pain and anxiety of Terrorism. The prevention Energy is within the control of migrants who have natural authority over their juniors who seek to exercise authority prematurely through the use of the gun. So long as they feel Australian – Australians are protected from such violence.

Given that Indigenous Australians have first authority – those who share in their pain are higher in status than those who separate them as untouchables.

We – each one of us develop our own natural structures as we go through life. Every one of us has the Natural Authority to enjoy ourselves and the benefits in our custody – so long as we have no knowledge of anyone else being affected by it one way or the other. As they say in the Indian system ‘it is an offence to give dowry or receive dowry’. In Sri Lankan Tamil Thesawalamai – dowry has positive value and hence renders dignity to the wife and her side of the larger family. Sri Lankan Tamils who are owners of Sri Lankan Tamil tradition would not therefore easily assimilate with Indian Tamils where the above law is relevant. Hence when the LTTE received money from the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister – they disconnected with all those who practiced the dowry system. Sri Lankan Tamils have their own structures as per their genuine investments in their local environments.

As per my knowledge of Hinduism – Matter is at the bottom end of order and Energy is at the highest end. Matter is the vessel in which the Energy is preserved. Land is one such vessel. Democracy  in Politics is based Land and those to whom that Land is home are relatives. Ms. Hanson has the authority to state in Parliament only those values that directly affect the electorate that she represents. Ms Hanson often behaves as if she is the Minister or Shadow Minister who represents the issue on behalf of the whole of Australia. That is the curse from indiscriminate use of majority power by producing more and more opposition – without connection to personal belief.

As per 9 News report :

[The One Nation leader made the comments during debate on the federal government's proposed schools overhaul.

Ms Hanson insisted parents and teachers had raised the matter with her.

Teachers were devoting much of their time to disabled children, to the detriment of other students in the classroom, she said.

Disabled and autistic children should be taught in special classrooms where they can be looked after and given special attention, she said.

"If it was one of my children I would love all the time given to them to give them those opportunities - but is it at the loss of our other kids?"]

The above confession confirms that Ms Hanson did not feel the need of her electorate but ‘heard’ those who lacked the courage to represent their beliefs directly to the Government or through experts in the field. This demonstrates that they want an easier time through smaller groups while others learn to ‘integrate’ by sacrificing easy time. It is the parallel of ‘Tamil Eelam’ and ‘Sinhala Only / Buddhism foremost’.

Like Mr. Meehan said about himself – Ms Hanson ‘came back’ – as did Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Joint Opposition – i.e. De facto Opposition. Stayed too long with the LTTE? Likewise, Ms Hanson who through her natural structure tries to be the ‘boss’ of those who seem lesser Australian than herself would merge naturally with those less developed minds taking  authority without belief. They are our internal Terrorist – killing our global investments.

When we as leaders turn blind eye to such disorder within, it grows silently to become Negative value to our heirs and exposes Itself when those who represent those negative values are greater than the numbers who represent positive value. This often happens through passage of time when the younger generation is more global and/or immigration when the migrants’ inherited value is more positive.  

The above lawyer’s mentors were Americans continuing to carry the ‘invasion genes’. In contrast, the  Vice Chancellor of  UNSW who sent me to prison – also brought with him the American mentality of treating Australians as juniors. He got dismissed by the system of Natural Justice when I did not physically resist that injustice. That was proof that I was deeper owner of University of NSW than the American trained Vice Chancellor.

We are free only when we stay within our earned structures. The rest – even if we are sent to prison belongs to those who opposed us – each getting their return as per their own structure.

The Terrorism Label

[On Friday, Vaiko was barred from entering Malaysia on the grounds that he was a supporter of the banned outfit Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and a threat to the country.

The MDMK leader told reporters that he would be writing a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to seek an explanation from the Malaysian government.] First Post

Who is right and who is wrong in this matter? The Common aspect between the three nations is the Tamil culture. As per Tamil culture Relationships are important and duty comes before our emotional likes and dislikes. Mr. Vaiko who is a Tamil Politician has the DUTY to act as per Political relationships. LTTE separated itself from the Politicians of the area they claimed as  Tamil Eelam  when they failed to obey LTTE orders. Often, Tamils within the Diaspora say that the ‘Boys started off well but lost their order along the way’. My response to that is that the Boys ‘sold’ the relationship for money. Mr. Vaiko is part of the legacy that the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Mr. M.G.Ramachandran (MGR) acquired when he funded the Militants and they in turn called him Anna (Big Brother). That was the first indicator that the LTTE were deviating from Tamil Tradition. This led to the Sri Lankan Tamil Politicians being placed below Indian Tamil Politicians who gave money. If the militants were fighting to defend  Traditional  Land, their relationships needed to be on the basis of those to whom that Land was ‘home’. North-Eastern Sri Lanka was never the homeland of MGR. Eventually by killing Tamil Politicians LTTE demoted itself to mercenary status. Then the Natural Forces of all those who sacrificed lower benefits for self-governance in various institutions along various pathways – worked against them. The inheritance from militants at the family level is reverse autocracy by children.

If Mr. Modi ‘supported’ Mr. Vaiko, he would also inherit this legacy. As per the above report:

[Speaking to reporters on Chennai on his arrival, Vaiko, when queried on whether he was treated like a criminal in Malaysia, said: "It was not like that. The common courtesy, genuine courtesy was lacking." ]

It is the DUTY of the officials to uphold the values of their Administrative family above outside Politicians. Had Mr. Vaiko paid his respects to Hon Appapillai Amirthalingam who led the Vaddukoddai Resolution – he would have been entitled to that common courtesy as per the system of Dharma. If Malaysian officials showed Common Courtesy to Mr. Vaiko who openly claims mental relationship with LTTE – they would be failing in their duty as Administrators, leave alone promoting militancy within Malaysia.

To my mind, the deepest value I have brought with me to Australia is this commitment to institutional structures and duties. Australia needs it due to majority race having its origin in the penal community. I left Northern Sri Lanka in 1968, to make a ‘home’ in Colombo. It is that legacy at the time of my completion of home-relationship that I carry with me wherever I go. Rule by guns, swords and knives had no place in that ‘home of mine’. It does not mean that I alienate them. My duty as an educated Tamil is to always take the higher status with such groups – even though I am seen as unpleasant and disorderly by those who takeover power through weapons along a pathway that has deviated from Tradition of relationships. I realise now that this was why I assembled peacefully at the office of the Vice Chancellor of the University of NSW after completing my work as per the requirements of my POSITION. The Administrators who were actively connected to their origins from the penal colony called the armed officers, confirming their lack of commitment to the Intellectual pathway as per the Institution of Higher Education.

In my article headed ‘If you are all Australians we are all Indians’

I quoted Mr. Abbott as follows in relation to ANZAC day celebrations:

[“The modern world is unimaginable without the legacy of Western civilisation,” Mr Abbott said.“It will help the Liberal Party if we place ourselves firmly on the side of Western civilisation against its critics, and of Australian values against the politically correct wreckers and cynics. But we shouldn’t do so to win elections; we should do so because it’s right. “If you are an Australian, you have to believe in Australia.” He said “all too often” Australians were hostile towards their country and its values, including part-time ABC host and Muslim activist Abdel-Magied.

Government MPs have called on the ABC and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to sack the 26-year-old from the national broadcaster and a government board, run by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, after she wrote: “Lest. We. Forget (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine).”

“Why is it that only some opinions get you sacked, or investi­gated by the Human Rights Commission?” he said.

“An over-promoted, politically correct 26-year-old is merely the symptom of the cultural cowardice that’s penetrated to the very heart of our institutions. While officialdom wrings its hands in nervous self-doubt about anything that might be labelled anti-youth, anti-women, anti-black or, perhaps worst of all, anti-Muslim, Australians show what they think of our country’s knockers by turning out in ever-increasing numbers and ever-greater enthusiasm on Anzac Day” ]

There are different pathways through which we make our homes in Australia. ANZAC day is part of  the Traditional pathway through which majority race maintains its orderly pathway. Those of us who respect the orders in our own cultures would have little difficulty in appreciating those celebrations. They are certainly part of Australian structures through which Common Australian values are produced. The above post “Lest. We. Forget (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine).”  was made by Ms Yassmin Abdel-Magied when the lady was holding office in ABC. To even think those comments on ANZAC day, amounts to an attack and not in defence. They are Australian values but expressed on a day when we were honouring fellow Australians who represented us in wider society. Whatever we may be on the inside – we Australians show an image as law abiding society of global standards, to wider world. It’s a Common pathway used by most successful migrants, to make our homes in Australia. This includes Australians of British origin.  Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine are part of the exterior and is about those to whom Australia is not yet home.

Ms Abdel-Magied , through her actions acknowledged that they were inappropriate. They reflected lack of respect for her position in ABC which is Nationally funded. Mr. Abbott’s response / reaction that ‘the modern world is unimaginable without Western civilization’ is also an attack on those of us who bring our positive values with us and integrate it with previous Australian values rather than ‘enforce’ from above as Mr. Abbott’s ancestors did. While in Democracy we have the obligation to show our achievements through objectively measurable outcomes – such as majority vote – we have no authority to diminish the value of Time-based seniority of a group at a particular place. Just because they are quietly treasured and practiced does not mean that we have embraced majority rule. If not for my Tamil culture which includes respect for elders while we are in their ‘home-territory’ – I would have assimilated the easy way and would have damaged the pathway through which the blessings of all those who follow those position based structures coming Naturally to protect Australians during their times of need. As a member of the Tamil community which includes militants – I have the ability and willingness to confidentially educate them towards expressing opposition through higher pathways. I believe that I also made this contribution towards the Tamil National Party becoming the leading Opposition in National Parliament.

I wrote on 20 June, under the heading ‘Value of Advocacy’ :

[ The boundaries of a relationship are important in developing institutional values.  I was unhappy therefore when I read this morning that our Foreign Minister the Hon Julie Bishop is planning on going to Sri Lanka in relation to Dengue Control which is outside her portfolio.]

I was hurt by the Australian Foreign Minister giving priority to Australian work in Sri Lanka, outside the current order of priority in Sri Lanka as per Sri Lanka’s needs. That amounts to ‘using Sri Lanka’ and therefore Sri Lankans to promote the particular interests of the Minister’s culture. The timing, like that of  Ms Abdel-Magied is disorderly when Sri Lanka needs to earn its eligibility as part of the Community that is bound by Common Global culture based on UN laws. Like Ms Abdel-Magied, Ms Bishop is also publicly funded and has the obligation to stay within the boundaries of the UN. There was dead silence on the part of Australian Government, starting with the Prime Minister in response to the involvement of international minds in regulating the Justice system in Sri Lanka.

Now that Australia also is challenged by Global Terrorism of which LTTE with its origins in Sri Lanka’s North is part – one would have expected Australia to invest in the  Justice system  before the physical health system.

Lack of Self-Confidence to take the higher position with Sri Lanka? – that is how the Truth comes out in a ‘free environment’. The laws through which we receive benefits including status benefits – show the pathway to Australian values.  Yet we hear no criticism of Ms Bishop’s lack of respect for her tax-payer funded position – along the lines we heard when Ms Abdel-Magied demonstrated similar disrespect. Australia’s commitment to law and order is strongly protected and nurtured by those of us who carry those traditional values as our Nature. We would protect and nurture them even when threatened by the official armed forces of majority race.

The UN Mind – and the Boys in Uniform

Our Airbnb guest was departing early this morning, after celebrating  the graduation of two of his siblings at the University of NSW (UNSW). Hosting him, I felt that I was part of the graduation ceremony.  Due to signing bail conditions that I would not enter the University, I do not go there physically, even though the charges are no longer applicable as per the records of the judicial system.  But mentally, by sharing the discoveries I make through work of global standards,  I feel I am still working there providing ongoing ‘advocacy’ towards seeking and finding Truth about ourselves and through us about others. I believe the return came through our Airbnb guest also. Hence to me it was our family’s graduation. I therefore included the guest in my mind as a family and offered to make coffee before he left for the airport around 5 a.m. – just as I do with our children when they come to Sydney from Melbourne for work related activities.

The oneness of mind is a motivating factor. The end of relationships is this oneness of mind. The amazing identity was that like many members of my immediate family, this guest is also a UNSW engineering graduate. To the extent I genuinely invested in the education and mind structure of those graduates, my returns would happen subjectively and I would naturally identify with their achievements as mine. Hence the relationship structures so we would remain focused towards reaching this final destination. Within those boundaries subjective influence is healthy.

Today is also the anniversary of the  day when my husband and youngest child were seriously injured when crossing the road after a function at Brigidine College, Randwick. If I go into that pain it is almost unbearable. But I got on with life as if that was our share of the road risks in our local area. Eventually, when two of our granddaughters  were born on 21 June – I made the connection to be the result of that pain and internalisation of that pain which makes us owners of the structures at that place which includes the University of NSW where I had the global experience more than 10 years later. The arrival of the second one of the two above mentioned granddaughters – was announced by a mysterious telephone call – at the time of her birth – when the world around was asleep but I was awake knowing that my daughter was going through labour pain. The phone rang but no one answered. That has happened to me four times now. That is the power of meditation through which we become one minded with the person, place and/or issue.

This morning when I read the report  ‘Wijeyadasa Rajapaksa refutes statement made by Monica Pinto on Sri Lanka’ by ITNNEWS.lk, and I read the report relating to that article, I learnt that the message highlighted by me in relation to the Canadian Tamil Mr. Nishan Duraiappah in yesterday’s article was confirmed in the UN report also :

[Tabling the report Mr. García-Sayán said although the armed conflict was concluded in 2009, very deep wounds could still be seen in the judicial system.

He said there have been reforms and some steps forward but gradual worsening of the situation in the judiciary during the armed conflict was visible.

Quoting the report, he said there was a lack of equal representation of minority groups in the prosecution services and police force. “Problems related to language are very serious and have a very serious effect on justice and on the likelihood of obtaining a fair process if you belong to the Tamil community,” he said.

He said authorities were urged to put in place transitional justice mechanism to tackle the past comprehensively and stress was made that there ought to be impartial, credible and effective authorities working in this transition process.]

I spotted the picture of  Mr. Nishan Duraiappah when I went through the article I was referred to by my Mr. Samy Pasupati – who has treasured for us the heritage of our training to become Chartered Accountants, and who continues to cherish that heritage through the younger generation, this time through Mr. Rajendra Theagarajah, Vice Chairman of Cargills Bank who was the guest of honour at the Canadian Tamils’ Chamber of Commerce gala and awards ceremony.  https://lankareporter.com/blog/need-access-markets-not-handouts-expatriates-rajendra-theagarajahs-canada-speech/

There is a saying in Tamil that if  our life had been meaningful –  at least some grass would grow at the place of our death.  To me its translation is that when we are ‘retired’ from  active life – we would enjoy the value of that active life through the effects at grassroots level. Mr. Rajendra Theagarajah is a tall tree representing our Common Alumni, preserved and treasured by Mr. Samy Pasupati.

My attention was drawn to Mr. Nishan Duraiappah because of my inner seeking through my current work. My cousin Kathiravelu Visvanathan who inherited  farmlands in the war area of  Vanni area and was displaced during the war -  wanted to be in the Police Force. But his father accidentally died while working in the farm and Kathiravelu Anna as the eldest son undertook to takeover the farm so the family would have the income needed. Later when I expressed appreciation, my Canadian brother stated that Kathiravel Anna’s son was now in the Canadian Police Force to enable his father to enjoy the experience through the son. About a year ago while chatting to a mechanic at the local garage in Northern Sri Lanka, he said that when he saw the ‘Boys’ in Uniform marching up and down – he felt uplifted. He could ‘see’ himself through them. I identified with it through my strongest descendant in Air Lanka / Sri Lankan Airlines – Ms Yasmin Packeerally Majeed – who said to me later that when she was waiting to be interviewed and she saw me walk across from one part of the office to the other – she thought to herself ‘I want to be like her’. It’s this kind of heritage that forms the foundation on which we receive others’ genuine aspirations. Hence when I read the above part of the UN report, I felt that there was now an opportunity for the son of that mechanic to be in uniform. I have knowledge of members of the Vaddukoddai community becoming part of the Police Force but not the National Army.

The more we work at UN standards the more we invoke global powers. We also need to not go back to being ‘local’ as the Sri Lankan Government as well as the Tamil Opposition in National Parliament keep indicating.

As per the ITN news report:

[Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapaksa has claimed that the statement presented by special representative Monica Pinto to the United Nations Human Rights Committee was false. The Minister pointed out that this was a report given based on the needs of the local Non-Governmental Organizations.]

Non Governmental Organizations have played a key role in influencing Sri Lanka to become global. Technical knowledge of international subjects alone would not be sufficient for us to become independent partners at global level. When the Australian Police Officers listed me as Indian / Sri Lankan despite my strong protests that I was Australian, for example – they were using their habitual social language to describe a person as per her/his ‘looks’ and their knowledge of that person’s place of origin. But due to having followed the laws of the Country through various aspects of my life as Australian, I became ‘Australian’ as per my mind structure. I fought against their wrongs through the legal structures and internalized the pain – largely due to the seniors responsible leaving it to the juniors to handle the matter – as if I were a cooly / labourer.  Eventually we stop fighting and accept that as our Natural place in our new environments – be it Colombo for Northern Sri Lankans or Australia for those of us of Sri Lankan origin living in Australia. Not many members of the Diaspora leaders identify with the parallel weaknesses in their new home nations.  To that extent their opinions are subjective when published outside their community/family. We may report but not advocate or judge for the benefit of others outside those circles.

For example in the recent report regarding the Northern Provincial Council, the excerpt of the interview with the Governor appointed by the Sri Lankan President, published by Ceylon Today goes as follows:

[What will be your approach in resolving the impasse at the Northern Provincial Council ?

A: A set of councilors at the Northern Provincial Council handed over a ' No Faith' motion to me last Wednesday evening stating that they can no longer have faith in their leader C.V.Wigneswaran. Twenty one councilors had signed that affidavit. At the moment, I am examining the authenticity of the signatures to make sure that whoever signed the affidavit is truly committed to the breach of faith statement against the CM. Once the signatures are confirmed as authentic , in accordance with tradition, I will inform the CM in writing of the ' No Faith' motion and will call on him to submit proof of a majority confidence vote for him in the Provincial Council. If he can do this he will be entitled to continue on office as the CM. But if he fails, we are required to look for another member of the Northern Provincial Council who can submit proof of such confidence in him by a majority of the Council.

After the ' No Faith' motion was submitted by those 21 members, another group of councilors, headed by M.K.Sivajilingam, submitted a petition against the motion that was signed by 15 councilors including CM C.V.Wigneswaran. This petition too is under examination by me at the moment.

There are 38 councilors in the Northern Provincial Council and the prospective chief ministerial candidate should obtain the support of at least 20 members.]

The appointed Governor in this instance has demonstrated that he is carrying the ‘majority-rule genes’ of the National Government – especially the President. The Governor, as an appointed person has the duty to refer to the laws of respective positions, including his own, to regulate the path of inquiry and reception by the Public. I do not have knowledge of any law to dismiss the Chief Minister.

Positive decisions are made through belief and/or common values, including through Common law but not necessarily limited to common law pathway. Given that the Governor is NOT an elected member – we have the duty to expect him to refrain from acting as if he was the Chief Minister. A citizen of that province has that Natural right before any appointed officer from outside – the reason why ‘foreign judges’ are prevented by a Sovereign operation. I highlight that this foreignness has been confirmed by the Governor as follows:

[Supporters of C.V. Wigneswaran allege the plot to oust him has been hatched by the government. Any comment?

A: That is a view expressed by extremist politicians in the province. They constantly haul baseless accusations at the government.

This is a crisis that has emerged among the members of Tamil political parties in the North and the South has had nothing to do with it. This is a stalemate among the members of an alliance, representing the same province and of the same ethnic group. These politicians in the North accuse the central government of conspiracy. This is to cover up their incapability and ineptitude.] 

 I on the other hand remember Mr. Wigneswaran making the connection after General Fonseka’s comments in Northern Province. Mr. Wigneswaran, to the extent he ‘internalized’ his own defeats in his legal profession practiced in Colombo – developed that ‘intuition’ for Colombo Mind. Thus Mr. Wigneswaran has confirmed that he was more common to the Government in Colombo than Mr. Reginald Cooray – the delegate of  Mr. Sirisena. One has to stay within the borders of one’s position to earn the status that goes with the title. 

Mr. Namal Rajapaksa, the son of former President and current member of National Parliament is reported to have stated during an interview:

‘You can't suppress the majority to make the minority happy’

Taking that as the measure at the primary level – the UN report is on behalf of the International Community in which more and more Tamils are investing. Sinhalese who are pampered at home – may not see the need for this as much as we do. Tamils have developed a strong global base through which those using the cultural path habitually, would find it comfortable to merge their investments in commonness at various levels. In that context Sinhalese are in the minority and hence the UN’s report would seem ‘right’ to one who is conscious of global connections. Some of it would be for its (UN’s) own use as lessons learnt to prevent similar war in other parts of the UN Community.  Once  Sri Lankan Government picks it up – it confirms that need. Otherwise it is ‘foreign’ and we do not need to be concerned. That is self-governance.

Canada's Inheritance of Tamil Legacy 

           

Value of Advocacy

The outcomes of the issue of  Dismissal / Disciplinary Action against some  Ministers in the Northern Provincial Council of Sri Lanka confirm to me the value of Advocacy in Democratic Government. To the extent I am genuine I am able to identify with my contributions in the outcomes. Some are apparent, others are known through improved processes  and the rest goes towards Commonness Energy – residing in those who are Natural to the issue/place.

Part of the process contribution was confirmed as follows:

[Today, prominent religious leaders such as Srila Sri Somasundra Thesika Gnana Sambanda Paramachchariyar Swamy Peedathipathy of the Hindu Nallai Aatheenam and Catholic Bishop of Jaffna, Rev. Justin Bernard Gnanapragasam visited Wigneswaran to sort out the issue in an amicable manner.]

This is the parallel of Buddhism foremost provision in the Sri Lankan Constitution. It is heartening to identify that Hindu and Catholic Leaders have formed a common force of advocacy in Northern Sri Lanka. My beliefs are given form through both religions as per my seeking. I was born in a Hindu family and was educated in Catholic schools and hence my values are based on both religions. I pray daily through  both religious forms – these days more to say ‘thank you’ to the Natural Powers. Today’s one is especially for the Northern Province settlement. It’s a lesson learnt in many ways – most of all that Advocacy works towards establishing self-governance through natural Powers.

Often investors in Governance give up when they cannot ‘see’ immediate benefits. But those who bear pain to hold a group together – as Mr. Wigneswaran has done – develop Common structures. As I said recently to a student in Management – ‘economic benefits do not develop relationships. They often bring disorder where common structures are not maintained’. If we give or receive money without a common need – we disturb the order of a relationship. In Tamil culture – Dowry for the daughter  and Muthusum for the son are established to complete the relationship and take the net value of the relationship into next stage. Dowry is given to the daughter at marriage – so that if she does not get enough recognition in her new family – she would remember the family that did value her – and use that to value herself instead of depending on the new family. Dowry helps us to remember our parents and siblings to whom we were valuable. Sons are expected to earn status from outside and hence are not spoilt by early distribution of wealth. They have to ‘wait’ until the parents pass away to inherit the residual wealth known as Muthusum.

In the Northern Province issue – Politicians who have been sent to Colombo are like daughters and their dowry is the status to vote at  National level Administration and law making and include other cultures in the structures that govern us. Provincial level Politicians are like sons and they inherit as Muthusum – the Traditions particular to that place. It is a requirement that they remain independent of the daughters/national politicians. Federal structure requires this completion of primary level relationships. By interfering in Provincial  Council Administration, Mr. Sampanthan acted in breach of the principles of Thesawalamai Law applicable to Northern Sri Lankans. Thesawalamai in which 

Mr. Wigneswaran also has invested – saved us our Muthusum/Heritage.

A political leader is entitled to make subjective decisions on the basis of belief only as per voters’ rights entrusted to her/him. In strong structures such belief is regulated through positions – service providers holding senior positions and beneficiaries holding junior positions. Where flow of benefit is  reversed with senior becoming dependent on junior / child / voter – the senior needs to become a ‘facility’ – as in ‘user pays’ system. A junior does not have the authority to ‘tell’ / instruct the senior purely on the basis of reverse flow of benefits.  When the junior ‘tells’ the senior, inherited structure is damaged and the relationship becomes dysfunctional. When the junior is a stronger contributor than the senior at total level, there needs to be separation of powers including to preserve the previous structure.

Parents who do encash their higher status – need to surrender their right to lead at community level. If indeed there is reverse administration – that must be confined to their homes and not be made  Public for such publicity damages the Community structure. When more and more daughters started earning money and status through their professions – the practice of ‘dowry’ ought to have ceased. Instead we started ‘trading’ as to which bride came with more money and which bridegroom came with more salary and official status – and hence the collapse of relationships. The Business Unit approach in Democracy would fail unless it has a zero-advantage start. The TNA leadership based on ITAK majority failed due to taking advantage of its past – prior to the establishment of Provincial Councils through the 13^th Amendment. It is the duty of the junior who has higher status with wider world to move away from dominating parents like ITAK. ITAK is thus as guilty as the government using majority power to avoid merit based Administration.

Like Mr. Sampanthan in the case of Northern Provincial Council Administration, National Government seems to be failing in Advocacy based management in the case of Sri Lankan Airlines:

[Informed sources revealed that several Ministers had expressed concern over the delay in a proper restructuring of the airline and other issues relating to staff recruitment, procurements and failure to act on the Weliamuna report, which called for]

Management of Sri Lankan Airlines has been polluted by Politicians and the Weliamuna report, like Mr. Sampanthan’s communications,  failed to Advocate. They were ‘judgmental’ and hence the verdict was punishment. One who has the solution and educates on that basis disciplines internally. One who purely judges without real advocacy – is punishing. The Government did not have the authority to punish Sri Lankan Airlines staff on the basis of Weliamuna Report. To the extent the effect was internal punishment – the Air Line’s Human Resource was depressed.

Where there is active participation in management by Politicians – the institution is likely to become more and more like a Government Department. Recently when discussing staff performance reviews with my daughter whose main management training has been with Lend Lease where I believe I added heritage value – I said to first bring the staff into her and view their performance as per that relationship. I said to leave out other strengths and weaknesses of that staff being reviewed – for they were outside the boundaries of this relationship and the reviewer could be using hearsay. I urged my daughter to maintain that reporting hierarchy and stay within the boundaries of her relationship and to consciously not think of using the opportunity to take credit for her skills. Mr. Weliamuna did just that. The boundaries of a relationship are important in developing institutional values.  I was unhappy therefore when I read this morning that our Foreign Minister the Hon Julie Bishop is planning on going to Sri Lanka in relation to Dengue Control which is outside her portfolio.

The predecessor of Sri Lankan Airlines - Air Lanka in which I invested,  continues to support me in my Tourism related activities. It is not adversely affected by the Weliamuna report  but is the positive base for my Advocacy in relation to Air Lanka’s junior - Sri Lankan Airlines. The Weliamuna report happened due to this Government’s interference in Sri Lankan Airlines’ Management. If Sri Lankan Airlines acted as per that report – all that the staff would do is find fault with each other. If Mr. Weliamuna was not capable of developing the new structure needed by Sri Lankan Airlines, his report effectively was purely for political purposes. Hence the Airline is naturally money-strapped as the Sri Lankan Government. It is the parallel of our Foreign Minister going to Sri Lanka in relation to Dengue Control. The result will be Australia ‘telling’ Sri Lanka what to do. When a minister comes outside her/his portfolio borders – in this instance when there are so many issues needing Foreign Ministry involvement – it means the move is Political and carries of the risk of disorder in our Foreign Relations – so we scratch each other’s back.

The Weliamuna report failed to facilitate Advocacy from, investors of corporate wisdom in Publicly owned enterprises. As per the Island news report headed ‘President Sirisena to sort out crisis at SriLankan Airlines’:

[Attempts at  finding an international partner for the national carrier on a debt for equity swap by the current government, has failed.  ]

The previous agreement with Emirates ended due to reversal of this swap by Mr. Rajapaksa’s regime. That Government effectively cancelled the agreement when it placed Government status above business interests. Given that Mr. Sirisena was part of that Government structure – it will be interesting to see as to how he would now advocate to suite a Commercial operation? Like our Foreign Minister taking credit through Health and Education portfolios, it seems as if the Sri Lankan President is seeking status through Tourism portfolio!  More disorder in Politics at the expense of Commercial structures?  One who identifies with this true cause would expect debt levels proportionate to the Government.

I advocate using Ms Bishop’s visit to negotiate settlement of that debt out of  Aid funds and facilitating Sri Lankan Airlines to be self-governing or liquidating based on its commercial viability. That would give greater credibility to the promotions of Tourism  by the Australian High Commission in Sri Lanka, in partnership with the Minister for Tourism. That collaboration created this obligation. May be a strong Northern base to cater to the Indian Market – along the lines of Adani-Turnbull partnership?

TNA  v TNA

Chettiar v Chettiar?

Feedback from the Diaspora leaders as well as from Sri Lankan leaders conveys concern over the current situation in Northern Sri Lanka. The more I thought about it, the more value I could place in Mr. Wigneswaran’s intuition – that Colombo was behind this problem. The ‘indicator’ to Mr. Wigneswaran on the basis of his intuition was shared as follows :

[Standing on a podium set at the entrance of his residence in Jaffna yesterday, the former Supreme Court Judge told a sea of supporters congregated there that when Regional Development Minister Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka visited Jaffna two weeks ago he had said that...... 'very soon Wigneswaran will be ripped off his post'.

He noted: "Between us there isn't any issue and I was wondering why he made that statement, but it provided a clue that the plot was hatched in Colombo," he added.] – Ceylon Today

We use Performance Indicators in Management towards early identification of rights and wrongs. These are intuition based but may not have a rule/law through which to share the intuition. The basis is the same as a good vote based on belief.  An Eastern LTTE Leader whom I identified with as a person genuine to his work – shared with us – such an example in relation to Karuna Amman who was Eastern LTTE leader. As per that sharing – they were all staying at a place in Vaharai when all of a sudden Karuna had said they had to leave – and that something was going to happen. They did – as is the way of unofficial forces and saved themselves from the air-attack minutes later. It was through that sharing that I learnt that Karuna was true to his work as a fighter.

As per that intuition of mine as a Colombo person, Mr. Wigneswaran would identify with the natural structures in Colombo more than any other member of the Northern Provincial Council. THAT is the value from Mr. Wigneswaran to the folks of Northern Sri Lanka. It was the same intuition that prevented Tamils from marking the LTTE and other Militants ‘wrong’ to those they considered to be ‘outsiders’. Likewise, Southerners in the case of JVP.

Managing Sri Lanka’s North needs that intuition from within. To ‘show’ good management to the wider world – including the UN – one needs intuition with that wider world. Mr. Wigneswaran is often found fault with by Government supporters for his claims of ‘Genocide’ made after he became Chief Minister. As a politician, if he felt that as part of the People of Northern Province it is his DUTY to use that form to oppose any repetition of the causal forces on both sides of the ethnic border. By seeking the intervention of the Governor who is the President’s representative, the members of the Provincial Council erred in Administration. Unless Mr. Wigneswaran’s conduct as a person was so negative for the Northern Province, there were no grounds for such move. In fact those who moved against Mr. Wigneswaran along this pathway in support of those against whom the inquiry was conducted have revealed their lack of commitment to Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976, which is the consolidation of all our investments in Independence and self-governance. It is something that is not available to Sinhalese.

In his letter dated 16 June 2017, the TNA leader – ‘Tells Mr. Wigneswaran’:

["You stated in the Provincial Council that you would act on the basis of the report of the board of inquiry. You have called for the resignations of the two ministers found guilty. No one has complained about that decision. The complaint is about the action taken by you against the other two ministers in regard to whom there is no finding of guilt by the board of inquiry. This action is being seen as a violation of the principles of natural justice and unwarranted," the MP said.]

Natural Justice is based on our Truth. Its principles in the case of an individual would look different (diverse) to its principles in the case of another individual. Likewise, religions and political groups. In this instance, Mr. Sampanthan has no jurisdiction to exercise power over Mr. Wigneswaran through his (Mr. Sampanthan’s) form of Natural Justice. To do so is like Trincomalee telling Jaffna what to do in Administration. We do not want Indian invasion of Jaffna – the way Trincomalee has been taken over by Indians.

Mr. Sampanthan does not have the mandate of Jaffna folks to express judgment through Natural Forces. We to whom Jaffna is home have that mandate. By sacrificing the comforts of Colombo life – in everyday living, Mr. Wigneswaran earned his ownership in Jaffna in addition to ownership in Colombo. In other words he is Sri Lankan – the same way Mr. Sampanthan is through Trincomalee and Colombo homes.

As I said recently to a fellow Diaspora member from Vaddukoddai recently, the true investment we make in structures by foregoing immediate benefits – develop as structures within us and support us in wider world. The individual thus is able to naturally progress towards family, community, nation and the globe. At each stage the structure would look different in form for the same person. That is the basis of rebirth. When based on Truth – each form would represent Sovereignty / Independence.

The example that comes to mind relates to how I was demoted in Mallakam Courts on the basis of my second marriage. The source was my sisters in law who wanted my husband to write his share of the intestate estate of  their brother over to them. My husband declined due to their lack of gratitude and/or show of respect - for resourcing their migration to Australia. His status within the family remained the same as before the sponsorship. The ‘outcome’ was negative and hence he refused. They then stated that he had brought shame by marrying me. This was to show emotional reaction due to their disappointment. Had they chosen an issue that did not concern wider world – they would not have erred in the Court of Natural Justice. But by stating as they did – they demoted themselves not only  in our global family structure – but in Australian official system which upholds our marriage as lawful. The only just reason would have been belief. Truth being the basis of belief – if they believed that the marriage brought them shame – then their migration to Australia also brought them demotion in status. It eventually did within family and community. In the meantime, the Colombo lawyer representing them ran with it and accused me of being greedy for other people’s money.  When one makes the connection between cause and effect – one is judging. As per my ‘intuition’ in Colombo Tamil Community – I was moved (I feel by Divine powers) to use the case law of ‘Storer Duraisamy Yogendra & Balasubramaniam Thavabalan Vs. Velupillai Tharmaratnam’ as follows when I filed the Appeal papers as a lay litigant:

 [The Questions Involved : . Whether the matter was heard with the purpose of upholding the lawful Rights of the parties concerned or whether the Judgment was asked for and given on the basis of benefits with little discussion on Rights. In other words,  whether the Proceedings & Judgment took a  Cause based approach or whether they were more Effects based – distinguished as follows by Hon Justice Saleem Marsoof, P.C., J.  in Storer Duraisamy Yogendra  &  Balasubramaniam Thavabalan  Vs. Velupillai Tharmaratnam:

[The decision of five judges of this Court in the Rajendran Chettiar case is not only binding on this Bench as it is presently constituted, but also reflects the practice of Court both in England as well as in Sri Lanka. As Lord Denning, M. R. observed in Salter Rex and Co. v. Ghosh [1971] 2 All ER 865 at page 866 – “Lord Alverstone CJ was right in logic but Lord Esher MR was right in experience. Lord Esher MR‟s test has always been applied in practice.”]

2.     Errors in  Law -  If the Proceedings  were driven by Cause of the action – then the following approach seems the better fit: “It seems to me that the real test for determining this question ought to be this: Does the judgment or order, as made, finally dispose of the rights of the parties? If it does, then I think it ought to be treated as a final order; but if it does not it is then, in my opinion, an interlocutory order.”   - Lord Alverstone, C.J cited  by Hon Justice Saleem Marsoof, P.C., J.  in Storer Duraisamy Yogendra  &  Balasubramaniam Thavabalan  Vs. Velupillai Tharmaratnam   ]

I did not expect at all for the Counsel who represented Mr. Yogendra in the above matter to represent our opposition in the Testamentary case and that too – without any prior advice to us or our instructing Attorney at law. When I saw Mr. Parathalingam in High Court of Jaffna I thought he was there for another matter. By then Mr. Parathalingam was already  representing us in our Colombo Land matter. When Mr. Parathalingam got up and stated that he represented all the parties in opposition to us – I was shocked. I wrote to him and our instructing solicitor to terminate his services and started representing myself. That was natural to me because the ‘structure’ was more important than the outcome and the force of belief was more important than structure. Mr. Parathalingam despite his high profile was defeated by Mr. Manivannan who represented us at that stage and who was respectful of the stand I took – very much at the risk of losing my Colombo case. As the litigant – who respected the Court process and went beyond to bring my Truth – that court became the Court of Natural Justice and hence our win against the great lawyer Mr. Parathalingam. The Truth upheld in that Court which became the Court of Natural Justice due to my Truth – was that I would sacrifice my investments to win a matter of much greater monetary value than the Jaffna matter – to uphold my belief in the official system. Thus the money lust was returned to the sisters who were ungrateful once they had custody over common powers.

In many ways the current crisis in Northern Sri Lanka is fundamentally the same as in the ‘Chettiar vs Chettiar’ case which to me was important due to the need to Apply for Leave to Appeal.  To my mind, in essence one has to have leave to Appeal where one does not seem to  have just grounds to use the Appeal process.

The  members of the Northern Provincial Council needed that Leave from their own Council through the rules and laws of the Council, to act as they did. The members who voted for them are the heirs of all those to whom Northern Province is ‘home’. To act further on that communication, the Governor needs the approval of the laws governing his position. The Governor had the duty to ‘educate’ the members whose application was ‘bad in law’.

This is a crisis for Colombo Administration also – even though they may not consciously recognize it. In the Court of Natural Justice – this is also a case against lesser powers hastily ruling ‘outside the law’. Those to whom structures are more important than immediate outcomes must win and this to my mind is Mr. Wigneswaran and not Mr. Sampanthan, about whose communication, the Sunday Times reports as follows:

[ TNA leader R. Sampanthan in a letter to the Chief Minister said, ‘Unwarranted action should not be the cause for promoting disunity and disturbing the functioning of the Northern Provincial Council.” Mr Sampanthan said that to  resolve the issue, the Chief Minister should withdraw the action he took against the two ministers who were found not guilty.]

If Mr. Wigneswaran has erred – that needs to go through proper Appeal process, once it has come into the Common area of Administration. Had Mr. Sampanthan been mentally involved in the workings of the Northern Provincial Council – he would have prevented this matter  from going into Administration. At that level it would have been  like taking a decision at family level – for the sake of Unity or at least to ‘show’ unity, for institutional purposes. But now that the horse has bolted Mr. Sampanthan has no jurisdiction – just as family ways have no jurisdiction in a Court of Law unless they are expressed in the language of law.

The Healthy Change in Northern Sri Lanka

[ The Ilankai Tamil Arasu Katchi (ITAK) led by veteran R. Sampanthan, the largest of the parties in the TNA, will go it alone, and is, in fact, determined to do so. The others in the TNA – such as the Eelam People’s Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) led by Suresh Premachandran, the People’s Liberation Organization of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE) led by D. Siddharthan, and the Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO) led by Selvam Adaikalanathan – may form an alliance. Fringe parties like the Tamil National People’s Front (TNPF) led by Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam are likely to join the anti-ITAK front.] - Political crisis in Northern Province will lead to realignment of Tamil parties by P.K.Balachandran

This was expected for sometime now.  The common opposition is in the genes of ITAK as well as TNPF which has been adopted by the majority race – through their current Common Governance formation to oust the previous regime.   But the one party system is unhealthy for Political Democracy. Unless in Northern Province naturally respect higher order of thought – through intellectual discrimination – we need strong opposition – to ‘see’ the effects of our actions.  The problems of excessive power in Parliament was demonstrated in 1977 when the then UNP leader took over power and brought about a Presidential structure through the 1978 Constitution. TNA has become remote to Northern voters after the 2015 Parliamentary elections through which TNA became leader of Tamils at National level. This structure is naturally different to the one the Jaffna man would have expected especially after his support for militants. Our expectations would tend to be as per the pathway through which we contributed.  But now that Jaffna is becoming more and more ‘normal’, and less distracted by physical separation, it is understandable that we would start connecting to our inheritance in Public Administration. The base for this is 50:50 – the Mantra that Mr. Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam’s  grandfather preached to the National Political Leaders on the Ides of March in 1939.       As per the science of Administration – at the base level of manifestation one needs Equal sight from the two sides to form the whole picture.

Most of us tend to ‘forget’ that the nation has powers accumulated over time. Others of our generation / times may reject deeper contributions but those Consolidated powers known as Heritage – receive us for better of for worse –when we give up or surrender to Nature. This often happens when we become complacent in the new environment – as TNA seems to have once they became Leading Opposition in National Parliament.

Recently when our son tried to direct me in relation to our present to his daughter – I said that he was trying to ‘control’ instead of ‘facilitating’. I gave the example that when my elder sister said that we would all pool funds for our mother’s travel from Canada – I declined – stating if she wanted to she could get her mother down. I needed to be included in the ‘idea’ / ‘mission’ stage and not at the budget stage – as if I was only cash contributor. By this time I had contributed strongly to my parents’ leadership structure and hence could not accept being ‘told’. Likewise here in Australia – about my ‘position’.

Mr. Wigneswaran whose carries his former position as Justice – would likewise not be ‘told’ by senior politicians. Hence this new formation was expected. Without this – there was virtually no Public Administration happening at Provincial level. The Northern Provincial Government needs to be strong in Administration for Tamils to maintain their independent position at National level politics. Hence the 50:50 picture is healthy for us.

Like the moon, the politician’s mind would wax and wane. The Administrator’s mind needs to be independent like the Sun. This is the Lesson we have learnt from the majority race driven by Politics. Under the British we needed strong intellectual skills to survive. Once we are in power through majority vote – we tend to invest less and less in higher common pathway which requires intellectual discrimination using Common Measure. The orders of thought are different. When the autocrat dies the moon has no light. It’s then time for the birth of a new system. Why worry when we believe in our ancestors?
