I rest my case-BY RAJITHA RATWATTE Source:Island fromoutsidethepearl@gmail.com Just to interrupt the loud cheers and other forms of celebration that those of you who thought that I was going to cease writing from this article onwards, sorry, that is not what I mean by my headline! What I mean is that I made a call many months ago that Joe Biden would be sworn in on time despite the worst efforts of the then incumbent President and the best efforts of the media Moghuls to create as much drama as possible and milk as much as possible from advertising revenue. Well, it has happened and there seems to be an avalanche of ‘positive’ things been done within the first few hours, let alone the first 100 days. Being a confirmed sceptic, I don’t believe in rhetoric and even surface actions. I will wait and see if Biden and Kamala Harris ...

Cricket’s Iron Lady-by Rex Clementine Source:Island The world is celebrating the election of Kamala Harris, the first female Vice-President of the US. But hey, we Sri Lankans had a woman as our Prime Minister more than half a century ago. Some of our women have been trendsetters and their visionary leadership has been remarkable and exemplary. In cricket circles, you find more and more women taking up leadership roles. Sri Lanka set the trend in appointing a woman to run one of game’s showpiece events when they hosted the World T-20 in 2012. Upeka Abeykoon is her name. The World T-20 in 2012 is the biggest sporting event the nation has hosted so far. The men’s and women’s events were scheduled simultaneously and hosting 20 international teams is a herculean task. Upali Dharmadasa’s committee met to decide on a Tournament Director. There were other accomplished men in both cricket and ...

Trump bowing out; Opportunity for Australia to mend fences with China? “Those whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make them mad By Raj Gonsalkorale Donald Trump has taken the USA down an abyss of despair and duplicity. Domestic divisions and international disorder dominated the Trump era. Many questioned the sanity of Trump’s approach to governance, nationally and internationally. Now, more than 80 million voters and popular vote majority in excess of 7 million, and 306 electoral college votes has given Joe Biden a clear victory over Trump. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will have a tough time resurrecting some trust and confidence that their own people, and others in the rest of the world, had with the USA. In the age of information technology, the world has become smaller and closer to each other whether one likes it or not, and whether it is a good thing or ...
