Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. While future improvements are noted, pensioners report that the current online system often does not work; elders still have to travel long distances to the Department. Please address these urgent shortcomings quickly. Also, consider legal amendments to allow pensions for those who joined after 45, as people expect change and fairness.
