Sri Lanka should do away with age-old ideas and form her own multinational companies, said United Republican Party leader Patali Champika Ranawaka.
He noted that our home remedy 'Kottamalli' (coriander) has already become a brand named ‘Samahan’ supported even by international icons such as Amitabh Bachchan and Naomi Campbell.

Ranawaka said the country needed to grab its piece from the expanding world economy, for which new world ideas should be entertained on how to earn more dollars.
