      Why so proud of him? - what has he done to Sri Lanka? Be proud of our people here , who kept you fed and looked after during the pandemic -- Nurses, doctors, farmers, lorry drivers, etc. I value people who contribute to the betterment of our society. In my scale of valuable people -- farmers, Lorry drivers( deliver essential items to supermarkets) , doctors , nurses, engineers rank very high in the scale of important people. Cricketeers, athletes, rugby players , etc -- are the least important. No one is going to starve or die because there are no cricket matches.
