Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I will conclude in a brief moment, Hon. Presiding Member.

¶ 02 Therefore, I make a humble request from the Government: at a time when businesses are being rebuilt with difficulty, do not obstruct or harass businesspeople through arbitrary actions. The reason is this: while you bring laws that supposedly enable business, if your own people go and disturb these businesspeople, they will lose heart. I conclude by requesting the Government to pay attention to this as well.

¶ 03 Thank you very much.
