Machang, this one was big news in the Gulf circles too. From what I read, the ex-minister got caught in a massive probe into state funds and industry contracts—classic case of abuse of power, they say. I remember chatting about it with some Lankan colleagues here in Dammam; these high-profile crackdowns are happening more often in the region. *(In plain English: This was significant news. The former minister was implicated in a major investigation into misusing state funds and industrial contracts, which is seen as a crackdown on corruption. It was a topic of discussion among expats here.)*
