Fair argument SLS,
if Sri Lanka is a company listed in world exchange (it is) no one would want to invest in SL with reinventing the wheel once a 5 year and huge oscillation of power stability.
going forward, Sri Lanka is a wonderful land which filled with resources unlike Singapore, Dubai, Vietnam etc. most importantly, we have a capable human capital who can do anything (in fact, they do anything when they get an opportunity. its worth to remember, we were called "යක්ෂ" for our ancestor's ability to do stuff and adapt to situations)
the thing is, our people have no taste in democracy from the beginning and even now we are looking for kings in voting systems and politicians are acting like kings. democracy works very well in developed societies who put common cause a common thought and do not elect members to parliament for ceiling sheets or a job. when basic needs have not been met, under the democratic system, it is always easy to manipulate the system within itself.
anyway, India was able to emerge as economic power thanks to its consistent policy (though it revised few times) on FDIs and BPO. today India is world software developer. almost all the world leading brands had recognized India/ China as potential production and potential market and had invested in India.
if we come to SL, we are mere 21 Million people cramped in a small island. our people have a lazy and comfortable lifestyle (even if you don't have a good enough income source, you won't die by starving. besides, you can apply for samurdhi and live from that and do nothing- that's not how social security system work)
well, SL is not a market and it's not a production center too. our labor and related cost are high compared to other economies. we need a policy to make SL a service hub, that we are surrounded by the sea in midst of silk road with 3 wonderful harbors. our people are more cable of doing value-added services like software development, shipbuilding, and consultancy services. Avant-Garde is a lost opportunity due to mismanagement and stupidity of GOSL.
anyway, we need to boost export. either service or goods in order to see the light at end of the tunnel.
