Dr Wijeysingha outlined the prerequisites of a progressive society which were based on "principal freedoms" that emerged from societal struggles in the past.

Calvin79 2nd Gear January 30, 2012 Share January 30, 2012 2nd that. Who wrote all our previous policies? Heard his father was a well known judge and staunch supporter of the MIW... he could have so easily been part of MIW if he didnt have his own thoughts... these are the kind of ppl we respect... they are not in it for the money... they are in it with a thought for changes which even though right now we do not know if it will be a success. i very much respect him. Wished he was a minister instead of the "vivian" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind30 Turbocharged January 30, 2012 Share January 30, 2012 Heard his father was a well known judge and staunch supporter of the MIW... he could have so easily been part of MIW if he didnt have his own thoughts... His father was not a judge right? He was principal of RI during my time. Since SDP quoted the four freedoms, did anyone knew what it meant? I did not so I read up on it. "In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
