NEW YEAR MESSAGE ISSUED BY

H. R. H. PRINCE REMIGIUS KANAGARAJAH

I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to the people of Sri Lanka and to all people around the world on the occasion of the New Year.

May this New Year bring joy, prosperity and peace to everyone.

Now the time has come to treat all the people as one nation. I would like to see all the people of Sri Lanka to be treated with dignity and respect living under one Parasol of State. No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress. Learn from your mistakes which you have done in the past and present political career.

If we are on the right path to a permanent solution and for a happy future, all communities should start living next to each other in the same neighbourhood sharing the pain, happiness, success and differences. Which will promote to a better understanding and tolerance between the communities.

The Tamil ethnic conflict has not yet been solved. The Tamil people should get proper recognition. Everyone says there is a solution, but rather then saying it is important now to put an end by implementing a political solution to the ethnic issue. With a constitutional guarantee ensuring equal rights and equal status to all citizens.

The things in the country belong to the people and if you all start sharing the things equally to all the people in the country you will see a positive change and peace in the country.

For the Public Administration in the country it will be the best option to deploy officers who are fluent in both languages and it will be easy for the public to communicate in their native languages.

The Police should work closer with the public with respect who seek their services. The public should not try to take the law into their hands and allow the law enforcement officers to carry out their duties.

The Sri Lanka Armed Forces rendered invaluable service and they have sacrificed their lives in order to save our great nation. They should be treated with respect and dignity.

The country needs a strong administrative system with a discipline cabinet and a strong Opposition.

May I wish you all a Happy New Year!

May the Lord Sri Kailasanathar blessing be upon you all!
