Shooting at vehicle of SAITM Chief Administrator ... role acting?

A tense situation is to be observed these days about the issue pertaining to private medical colleges and in the process gunshots have been targeted at the vehicle of the Chief Executive of that institution where 4 gunshots have pierced the vehicle and the said officer has been admitted to hospital in a state of shock which however has created a sense of suspicion for some people that it was a role-play to change the opinion of the
public with the motive of winning their sympathy. 

After this incident was reported last night, a bulk of comments of readers has gone further by intensifying that suspicion. Published below is a cross-section of comments which portray the manner in which they understood the said incident in a sarcastic and suspicious way.

I saw with my own two eyes ... it was Carlo Fonseka who was at the back of that bicycle with a full-face helmet ... like a mad man ... just like a mad man ... kept shooting and shooting

-Chathura Senaratna (Chathura)

Yes men, I also saw "very clearly" from that video ... a son of an elite person was there on that bicycle. But the video has to be sent to Canada ... because the scenes aren't clear. Nothing can be identified.

(A joke ... I wrote to laugh. Now like those Ministers say, the way that ruggerite died)

(minimora)

Having come so close and shot, the doctor hasn't been harmed no. See these things. For sure ... person who's an enemy.

(Manoj)

Lights ! Camera ! aaaaand ... action. cut cut cut! Aiyo sir poddak seat eka pitipassata kara gannako ... anna hari poddak ela wela inna scene eka iwara wenakan. dannawane poddak ehemehe unoth okkoma gus TAKE Lights ! Camera ! aaaaand ... Action

(Taukenda)

I came from there after a short while. There was a silver coloured old Axio by the side of the road on the pavement. SAITM CEO is a person who is engaged in a fair business, using very cheap cars ... I understood

(Padikaya)

The true shot can go off gentleman. The blank bullet after that. 'Sellama lellama wenawa'

(Paaki naka)

Meya janathawa nomaga yawimak, me pitupasa anduwe marainge wenath kumanthranayak athi bawa pene.

Don't know whether Dr. Neville Fernando is watching too many Hindi films. Have the underground of our country been destroyed ... to an extent a shot can't be properly fired? Now showing on wide screen 'SAITM vedilla' the deadly comedy film.

(paathalaya)

Fine .. is it only I who feel that there's a role acting in this also? Or is it that Asiri did a charm to avoid being shot

(ginger nangi)

Actually a role acting men. If not if truly suffered will he be admitted to SAITM Hospital. If by mistake medicine is given .. what god to appeal to?

(burutha atthapitiya)

Those who fired are real gunmen. Having shot four bullets ... but even one of those striking!

(priyan)

Here you are the Mega SAITM drama of covering the nakedness and drawing sympathy has begun!

(ethuma)

From where to laugh at these things ... the gong-part which you have still not seen ... now showing gong-part of Jahapalana aanduwa ... reserve your seat without delay.

Kos kola + croton = Jahapalanaya ... jaha jaha

(shihan)

Children of all thug politicians (both parties) and others (like bus-Gemunu) are in SAITM. This is just an act. Nothing has happened to people who were inside the vehicle. But, beware same thing might happen to the SAITM against party with serious damages. This might be the step 01 of that plan

(ruwani)

SAITM ekema train karapu thuwakku karayoda danna

(niro693)

These fellows appear to be truly clever gunmen. No damage to person inside. Windscreen in smithereens. Actually this gentleman may have really got scared for the scene. If by chance it struck a wrong place it's not to Neville Fernando that he should have gone to save the life. Only to a government hospital.

(ninja)

Don't all these fellows have a shame to have acted for lies by shooting to get a status for SAITM. The attempt taken to display play-acting like this to standardise the medical college is disgusting.

(soththi upali)

Whether the shooting has occured when the vehicle was in motion or not isn't stated in this news item. But from my past experiences I conclude that this happened when the vehicle was stopped. To a large extent at a time when nobody was at the driving seat. What do you think abut this Watson?

(sherlock holmes)

I think this is the first person who faced shooting from a gunman and escaped even without a scrape. Eh .. so fools why is this fellow in hospital ... if there's not even a wound ... now should be kept in hiding under security. Even a bogus thing ... do it correctly.

First time in Sri Lanka nothing happens to anyone after four bullets ... must be a record

(true boy)

So happy to see public are not stupid. SAITM has become a film producer. Any idiot would understand the purpose of these kind of drama is to hide their low standard as a university and get public compassion. Nevil is a businessman and imagine how he can prove giving education to nearly 1000 doctors with 180 patients. Any other medical faculty students variety of patients including general medicine, surgical, paediatric, gynaecology, obstetrics, emergency medicine and also primary care level medicine. He opened a shop without having any of this having offered the degree to people without advanced level exam. Now claim that government has to give access to patients in government hospitals? Common Sri Lankan public open your eyes and stand for your lives. I'm a doctor living overseas and I would love to serve my country but would never fee like coming back after seeing how people try to bring our profession down. Mind you our medical education has a very good reputation in the western world. I hope we can keep its quality ... anything that involves politics to corrupt the quality of medical practice in Sri Lanka !!!

For that what our village boys say is vede athepaththu.
