හඳබැදි නත්තල

I was saddened watching the above-titled Tv programme for a few reasons.

Firstly, like most of our other local programmes, it was just another failed attempt to imitate a foreign setup.

Secondly, there were no invitees either from the Tamil or Muslim community and I wonder why?

They have acknowledged the contribution of many segments of the society but have conveniently ignored to acknowledge the contribution of our Migrant Overseas Workers to the country.

And again I wonder why?

Lastly, despite their initial claim that social distancing will be maintained and all instructions given by the authorities to prevent Covid Virus spreading will be adhered to, they were mere words and never materialized into real actions in the end.

And I wonder, what the authorities are going to do about it as well?
