Minister of Housing, Construction and Cultural Affairs Sajith Premadasa said that Sri Lanka requires a leadership that can understand the needs of the poor and one who could survive any force.
The deputy leader of the UNP made these remarks at an event held on Thursday to vest the 193rd model village in Ahatuweva with the public.
Premadasa added that that the programme to transform Sri Lanka into another Singapore, requires the blessings of the general public.
"What the country needs is a leadership that is efficient and not idle, a leadership that understands the problems of the poor, and feels the heartbeat of the under privilege, a leader who can survive any force," Premadasa said.
The minister also noted that he is only intimating the opinion of the general public, the voice of the people and the hope and expectations of the general public.
