Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Give me two seconds to conclude.

¶ 02 Find your assets and liabilities. But do not collect money claiming to rebuild the country from those toiling in the cold abroad. If needed, I will raise from the diaspora for North and East.

¶ 03 Thank you so much.
