SRi Lanka's 17th Amendment


On Monday, 30 August 2010, the President and Cabinet of Ministers introduced an urgent bill to make changes to the Constitution.  On Tuesday, 31 August 2010, the urgent bill was referred to the Supreme Court.

Key Proposed Changes to the Constitution

  • Removal of the two term limit: There will no longer be a limit on the number of times an individual can be elected to the office of the President.
  • Repeal of the 17th Amendment: the Constitutional Council will be replaced with a new Parliamentary Council. The President will seek the 'observations' of the Parliamentary Council in making appointments to key governments posts.  However where the Parliamentary Council fail to communicate its observations to the President within the specified time, the President can proceed to make appointments solely at his discretion.
  • Restricting the role of the Election Commission: The Election Commission will no longer have the power to issue directions to prevent political parties from using state resources to advance their campaigns during elections.  Further the private media will be under a duty to comply with guidelines issued by the Election Commission.

·  Removal of the two term limit violates the mandate of President Rajapaksa. The proposal to remove the two term limit violates the mandate given by the people at two successive presidential elections.  In 2005, Mahinda Chinthanaya 1 promised to abolish the Executive Presidency before the end of the first presidential term.  Mahinda Chinthanaya 2 promised to a) reduce the powers of the executive presidency, and b) make it more accountable to Parliament.  The proposed changes are totally contrary to these promises contained in the Mahinda Chinthanaya.

A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failure

*(Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam at Wharton India Economic
forum , Philadelphia , March 22,2008)*





*Question:* Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how

leaders should manage failure?


*Kalam:* Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the
project director of India 's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly
called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India 's "Rohini" satellite into
orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told
clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space.
Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams
towards that goal.

By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As
the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At
four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go
through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute
later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed
that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four
or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their
calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the
computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first
stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed.
Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system
plunged into the Bay of Bengal . It was a big failure.
That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof.
Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am,
and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were
present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in
Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India ]. Prof. Dhawan, the
leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He
took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had worked
very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the
media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I
was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took
responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.

The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite --
and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there
was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You
conduct the press conference today."


I learned a very important lesson that day.* When failure occurred, the
leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he
gave it to his team*. The best management lesson I have learned did not
come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

இரும்பிலே ஒரு காதல் முளைக்குதோ? Enthiran Song Lyrics



பாட்டு: இரும்பிலே ஒரு இருதயம்
இசை: AR ரகுமான்
படம்: ஏந்திரன்
பாடகர்: ரகுமான், Kash n Krissy


all systems all go
all systems all go
all systems all go
arigato gozaimaz
operators are standing by
DNA
____ substantiating

You wanna seal my kiss boy,
you can't touch this
robotic, hypnotic, hynotic, supersonic,
superstar can't can't can't get this
superstar can't can't can't get this

இரும்பிலே ஒரு இருதயம் முளைக்குதோ

முதல் முறை காதல் அழைக்குதோ

இரும்பிலே ஒரு இருதயம் முளைக்குதோ

முதல் முறை காதல் அழைக்குதோ



பூச்சியின் ஒன்றோடு பூவாசம் இன்றோடு
விண் மீன்கள் விண்ணோடு மின்னல்கள் கண்ணோடு
கூகிள்கள் காணாத தேடல்கள் என்னோடு
காலங்கள் காணாகாதல் பெண்பூவே உன்னோடு

oh oh oh ohhhhh

iRobot உன் காதில், i love you சொல்லட்ட
iRobot உன் காதில், i love you சொல்லட்ட
i am a supergirl, உன் காதல் rapper girl
i am a supergirl, உன் காதல் rapper girl

என்னுள்ளே என் உள்ளம் நீதானே நீதானே

உன் நீல கண்ணோரம் மின்சாரம் தாளிப்பேன்

என் நீலப் பல்லாலே உன்னோடு சிரிப்பேன்

என் நெஞ்சின் நெஞ்சொடு உன் நெஞ்சை அணைப்பேன்

நீ தூங்கும் நேரத்தில் நான் அள்ளி அணைப்பேன்

என் வானம் எப்போது உன்கையில் பொம்மை ஆகும்



Watch me robo shaking

I knw u wanna break it

தொட்டுப் பேசும் போதும் ஷாக் அடிக்க கூடும்

காதல் செய்யும் நேரம் மூச்சலைகள் கூடும்

இரவில் நடுவில் பாட்டரிதான் தீரும்



மெமரியில் குமரியை தனிச்சிறை பிடித்தேன்

ஷட்டவுன் செய்யாமல் இரவினில் துடித்தேன்

uh uh uh uh boyyy

சென்சார் எல்லாம் தேயத் தேய நாளும் உன்னைப் படித்தேன்
உன்னாலேதானே என் மீதிகளை மறந்தேன்
எச்சீல் இல்லா எந்தன் முத்தம் சர்ச்சை இன்றி கொல்வாயா?
ரத்தம் இல்லா காதல் என்று ஒட்டிப் போகச் சொல்வாயா?
உயிரியல் மொழிகளில் எந்திரன் தானடி
உளவியல் மொழிகளில் இந்திரன் நானடி
சாதல் இல்லா சாபம் வாங்கி வாழ்வேனே வாழ்வேனே
தேய்மானமே இல்லா காதல் கொள்ள வந்தேனே


Hey Robot, மயக்காதே
you wanna come and get it boy
or are you just a robot toy
i dont wanna break you, even if it takes to
kind of like a break through
you dont even need a clue
you be my man's backup
i think you need a check up
i can melt your heart down
maybe if you got one
doing that for ages
since the time of sages
முட்டதே ஓரம்போ
நீ என் காலை சுற்றும் பாம்போ
காதல் சேயும் robot
நீ தேவை இல்ல போ போ

இரும்பிலே ஒரு இருதயம் முளைக்குதோ
முதல் முறை காதல் அளைக்குதோ
இரும்பிலே ஒரு இருதயம் முளைக்குதோ
முதல் முறை காதல் அளைக்குதோ
பூச்சியம் ஒன்றோடு
பூ வாசம் இன்றோடு
விண்மீன்கள் விண்ணோடு
மின்னல்கள் கண்ணோடு
google'லால் காணாத தேடல்கள் என்னோடு
காலங்கள் காண காதல், பெண் பூவே உன்னோடு
