ALERT: Urban Development Minister Anura Karunathilaka has jumped the gun, joining the groundbreaking of the controversial Pentara project despite probes ordered by @anuradisanayake and @Dr_HariniA, and a Court of Appeal case challenging its legality. #CORRUPTION #homelands

This is how a wedding was celebrated on public roads in Wennappuwa on Sept 4, 2025: a convoy showing disregard for other motorists. Front plates changed to ‘Eranda–Imesha’. The same group caused similar disturbances a few years ago. Main offender: #CBP1112 Jeep @SL_PoliceMedia

Moments before a private bus plunged off a precipice in Ella, the driver told passengers the brakes had failed. They laughed it off as a joke. Seconds later it hit an SUV, tore through guardrails and crashed. 15, including driver, were killed & 17 injured

Police promoted 31 Senior Superintendents, including a retired officer, to Deputy Inspector-General with effect from 1 Jan 2025. Three SSPs await promotion pending disciplinary inquiries, while six acting DIGs revert to SSP rank.

The 18% VAT on online digital services, including web hosting, Netflix, and ads on Google and Facebook, due to take effect on Oct 1, 2025 has been deferred until Apr 1, 2026, the government announces. Says digital service providers asked for more time implement the tax system.

The BYD saga deepens. John Keells/Chaudhary Group insists its EVs cannot be manipulated via software – the basis on which nearly 2,000 BYD cars were detained. Customs told court JKCG has failed to provide technical specifications for testing.

IGP Priyantha Weerasooriya deviated from his script and switched to English to welcome foreign dignitaries to the 159th Police anniversary celebrations today in Colombo. He is seeking closer foreign ties to aid in the extradition of Sri Lankan fugitives operating from abroad.

For too long, the swamp controlled America’s future. That's finally changing, but they're fighting back. Be part of the team taking on the corrupt deep state.

Here is the video of all the newly appointed High Court judges receiving their letters of appointment from @anuradisanayake this morning at the Presidential Secretariat.

. @anuradisanayake handed promotion letters to 18 new High Court judges, including Colombo Fort magistrate Nilupuli Lankapura – who remanded @RW_SRILANKA. She refused bail despite RW’s medical plea, but accepted it 4 days later on Aug 26. Is this effectively a double promotion?

Customs told the Court of Appeal today it will conditionally release about half of the 1,000 BYD electric cars held over suspected duty fraud. If tests show higher motor power than declared, John Keells and Nepal’s Chaudhary Group must pay fines/penalties.

Transport Dy Minister Prasanna Gunasena shares this AI-generated image of @anuradisanayake on the Kachchativu islet. It’s unclear at whom he is pointing, but the Sept 1 visit followed a Tamil Nadu politician’s renewed demand that India retake the islet conceded to LKA in 1974.

The @CIABOC_SriLanka has announced a WhatsApp number for complaints: +94 77 777 1954. The CIABOC DG is the front-runner to become the next Attorney-General if the government can persuade the incumbent to step down without impeachment.

Managing your finances, no matter how much you make, is key to financial success. No one knows this better than @teyanataylor. The recent culinary school grad was given $300 to create a 🔥fit for Chime’s Ball on A Budget. See how she pulled it off. Powered by @Chime

President @anuradisanayake paid an unscheduled visit to the Kachchativu islet after his Jaffna tour yesterday, according to the PMD. India recognised Sri Lanka’s ownership of the islet in 1974 under an agreement allowing Indian fishermen access.

EV SHOCK: Sri Lanka Customs are checking all electric cars for alleged tax scams, with motor power understated to qualify for lower duties. Buyers and importers could face a rude surprise. The probe goes beyond BYD.

.@RW_SRILANKA thanks all who stood by him since his arrest on August 22, including those supporting him online, and says he will meet them again soon.

RT @rangaba: Biting BYD: Sri Lanka Customs have detained another shipment of nearly 1,000 BYD electric cars over the same issue as the prev….

CORRECTING TYPO: alias should be Kehelbaddara Padme, not Kelehelbaddara as given in the earlier post. Apologies.

Sri Lanka’s most-wanted man, Mandinu Padmasiri Perera alias Kelehelbaddara Padme, has been extradited from Indonesia with 5 others after a joint raid backed by Indian intel. Police call it the biggest overseas op against Sri Lankan fugitives. @SL_PoliceMedia

Some X users cite a Rs32.9m profit in 2022 for Lotus Tower’s management firm, which hasn’t repaid a cent of the $113m loan. Even at Rs43.8m a year, it would take 772 years to clear the Rs33.9bn debt - excluding interest. Life span of LT: 50 years. That’s why it’s a white elephant.
