JR Jayawardene added the concept of national list to the constitution. The goal was to bring people with special talents directly to parliament to build the country. That is, exclusive characters are directly seat in the parliament without sending to the election. Considering Diana’s special talents, Sajith decided to seat her directly in the Parliament.
The Ranil-Rajapaksa government paid a better price for Diana’s than Sajith. Accordingly Diana got a ministerial post. But in a serious subject like legislation, mere experience is not enough. It requires deep theoretical knowledge. Facts being so Diana’s projects failed as she made decisions based solely on experience. Those are as follows
Prostitution
Diana said that since Thailand, a Buddhist country has legalized prostitution, Sri Lanka should also legalize it.
Nevertheless, There is a lot of work to be done prior to legalizes the prostitution . A clinic should be established to detect sexually transmitted diseases. Special treatment centers should be established for sexually transmitted diseases. With the legalization of prostitution, there will be psychological complications among sex workers and psychological rehabilitation centers should be established to deal with it.
On the other hand, Sri Lankan and Thai are two different genetic origins. It is not easy to legalize prostitution in Sri Lanka due to religious, cultural and genetic influences
Cannabis
The value of the total market share for cannabis-related products in the entire world is 15 billion USD. Coca-Cola has a market share of $225 billion, which gives an idea of how small the cannabis market is. On the other hand, there are no capital resources in this country to create value added products related to cannabis.
Nightlife.
With Diana’s support, arrangements were made to hold the “Jungle electronic music festival” in the Habarana jungle. They even sell tickets. No country in the world holds electronic music festivals in high sensitive environmental zones. Because electronic music is a combination of high-powered sounds produced by digital devices and circuits. This is sound is enough to turn the animal world upside down. Accordingly That project also failed.
Disneyland
Diana said about a Disneyland with an investment value of 18 billion USD. That story was a blatant lie
The Taiwan Deal
Currently, there is a cold war between China and Taiwan. China regards Taiwan as a breakaway region from its territory. This process is known as the “One China” policy. Sri Lanka is committed to the ‘One China’ policy. Sri Lanka cannot directly deal with Taiwan except via China.Diana’s Thai deal exploded in her own hand.
Facts being so, while appointing public representatives, necessary care should be taken to select those who have both that experience and theoretical knowledge.
