Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Before I conclude, one thought. Charlie Chaplin, through a realism of illumination, said: “Look at the sun—you will see God’s power. Look at the moon—you will see God’s beauty. Look into a mirror—you will see God’s greatest creation. Trust in that greatest creation—humanity.” Empowering people to make this country prosperous is the great future aim of this Budget. I conclude.

¶ 02 Thank you.
