High Commission raises funds for N-E schools

The High Commission of Sri Lanka in Malaysia recently organised a musical and cultural show in Malaysia recently to raise funds for two educational institutions and children in the Northern and Eastern Provinces of the island. The money raised at the event themed 'I Help Build a School' would go into upgrading Nageshwara Maha Vidyalaya in the Kilinochchi district and Tanduwan Government Tamil School in Mullaitivu district in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka.

The show was held in collaboration with the Sri Lankan Workers Welfare Society and Sri Lankan expatriate community living in Malaysia, the High Commission of Sri Lanka said in a statement. In his speech, Sri Lanka's Acting High Commissioner to Malaysia Maj.Gen. Lalith Daulagala commended Malaysians for their generosity.

"I have not come across more generous and charitable people than the Malaysians. This is probably because we have many things in common - history, culture, food and more significantly, generosity," he was quoted as saying in the statement.

He said the common traits as well as the influence of Malaysians of Sri Lankan origin enabled bilateral relations between the two countries to grow from strength to strength.

The Organising Committee Chairman Dr. Chanaka Rajapakse thanked Malaysian business conglomerates and personalities as well as donors for supporting the charitable cause. Also present were Federation of Malaysian Sri Lankan Organisations President Datuk S. Kulasegaran, Maxis Bhd Joint Chief Operating Officer Suren Amarasekera and Axiata Group Senior Vice-President Naushad Perera.
