MS Samantha congratulations. We are so proud of you. But regret as we missed such a valuable person and a family who can serve my country, Sri Lanka. I hate racism. We all are one nation. May God bless such a nice personality.

My father Ashley De Silva also rescude one of his best friends MR. Viji Ghanaprakasam when riots came in the past. His whole family left to Australia at that time. He was a very kind hearted and was very fond of to our family. I am not sure whether he lives or not. But only thing I can say I am really proud of my brave father who saved his life. There were so many incidents like this. I am Dumindaa Karunanayake.

Samantha you are the example for the future of our young politicians in this country. You are an eye opener that Tamils can also represent like one of our fellow parlimentarians especially spelling out of our own Tamil problems at home and their suffering.
Your speech was excellent and articulate. My best wishes to you to do an excellent work to help people and do constructive work for your own electorate.
Best wishes and good luck with your future endeavors.
