Dear Director-General Koichiro Matsuura:
I have read a news about Sri Lankan former president Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga on The Sunday Times titled: UNESCO suspends Chandrika . Even though this is very late in realizing, it is most welcomed.
She has committed most atrocities against the Sri Lankan ethnic Tamils in the Tamils’ freedom struggle. As I was personally affected by her regime, I would sincerely uphold your decision to suspend her from a prominent position. I strongly believe these State Terrorists should not be given high positions as this would lead future dictators with a handy escape.
My family and myself would strongly like to see her permanently removed from any positions in UNESCO. I have posted this letter in my blog at http://1letter.wordpress.com/2006/12/19/unesco-suspends-chandrika-bandaranaike-kumaratunga/

Dear David Poopalapillai:
I saw your Ottawa press release dated December 08, 2006 titled, The Terror Posed By Sri Lanka’s New Anti-Terror Laws. The opening statement of the last paragraph is “The LTTE has been fighting the Sri Lankan government for over two decades in the hope of carving out a separate state for ethnic Tamils in the northeastern region of Sri Lanka, citing systemic discrimination by the majority Sinhalese.” I do not think the phrase “carving out a separate state” is a good choice. This makes a feeling of Tamils as a seperatists. May be “… for over two decades for an independent state for …” or “…for over two decades in the hope of forming an independent state for …” would have been a better choice.
I am also aware, that CTC has been very active in Tamil community and giving great services. Please do not take my email as a downgrader. I have posted this letter in my blog here

Dear ____________,
The CTC appreciates your enthusiasm for the cause and is pleased that you were passionate enough to write to us in response to a press release that we issued. Your suggestion showed both critical thought and dedication to the plight of Sri Lankan Tamils.
In restrospect, you are probably right. “Carving” connotes a more aggressive action than words like “forming” or “fighting for”.
We appreciate your suggestion and applaud your commitment. Thank you for recognizing the CTC’s efforts. Please feel free to contact us anytime. We will welcome your thoughtful input on future matters.
Sincerely,
David Poopalapillai

Disappointed with TVi December 4, 2006

Dear Sir/ Madam:
I am very proud that there is a prominent Tamil TV channel in Canada that broadcasts more news and situation reports about our homeland, Tamil Eelam. Thank you for your great service.
Yet, I’m bit dissappointed with TVi that TVi had the “exclusive” right to broadcast Maveerar Naal in Canada. I think this event should not have been a commercial bargain. I think no one should have “exclusive” rights to broadcast this event. All Tamil TV channels should have given free access to this live broadcast.
By acquiring the “exclusive” right to Tamil Eelam’s National Maveerar Naal, other Canadian TV channels were seen as anti-Tamil elements. In turn, people will falsely assume other Canadian Tamil TV channels are supportive of Sri Lankan government’s propaganda, as I have assumed earlier. This is by far not a healthy Tamil media relationships.
I would appreciate if TVi would not acquire “exclusive” rights for any Tamil Eelam’s National events. I have posted this letter in my blog at Disappointed with TVi
