An Open Appeal to Principal Wijewardene, Secretary Nelum Weragoda and Secretary Aruna Samarajiva:
Nava Rangahala stands as a proud monument of a rare and unique visionary Royal Primary was most fortunate to have - Principal HD Sugathapala.
It was his dream, his vision which he made reality against all odds. And finally he sold his beloved Volkswagan to settle the final bills. Once a former security head of President CBK told me that it was the safest location for her to address large gatherings, at the height of LTTE attacks. And it will always be the unique location where the Parliament met when the Island became a Republic in 1972. Gentlemen: this is where the Constitution became Law!!!
Nava Rangahala can be transformed into one of the premier performance Theaters in the city. It has enough parking and located in the most exclusive neighberhood. It isn’t a brainer to make it a top revenue earner under a dedicated and committed Management.
I have tried to sell this idea as far back as ‘99, when Suga Sir was alive, as the best tribute RC can pay for such a rare visionary. Having failed I retried when Mr Waththuhewa was the Principal - not alone but with Saman Athaudehetti - who was very close to Suga Sir on one hand and was even closer to both President and PM at the time - Ranil and Dinesh - whom I personally knew would lend their fullest support as two brilliant products of Suga Sir. Again I failed.
So I am appealing to the three of you - the Trinity of RC - to pay a visit, have a good look at broken seats, a building falling apart wherever one looks. What a Bloody Shame Gentlemen, when we can’t just maintain such a great edifice, we have been given free? What use of SDS’ 116M stashed in fixed deposits? යන කොට ගෙනියන්ඩද? යුද්දෙට නැති කඩුව කොස් කොටන්ඩද?
Please get down from your Ivory Towers and do something worthwhile and lasting. සංදර්ශන වලින් විතරක් රාජකීය විද්යාලේ ගෙනි යන්ඩ අමාරුයි. අපිට පුළුවන් මේවා පෙන්නල දෙන්ඩ විතරයි. කෙරිල්ල තියෙන්න ඔබ වහන්සේලා ත්රිමූර්තිය අතේ.
දැන්වත් නැනස පෑදේවා!
