A dilemma: Security personnel placed in business enterprises 



2015-10-23
I cannot tip a soldier in uniform who carries my luggage to a  hotel room. My conscience does not allow it and he commands a  better respect from me.

 I was in Trincomalee last weekend along with a media colleague and my wife. We had several engagements with some provincial journalists in this beautiful eastern port city which was once the hot-bed of the ethnic conflict. It has now become one of the most strikingly attractive cities with its natural outlook drawing tourists. The city was clean and well managed; it seems to have been prepared for an economic boom.
