I read some time back in one of the threads on PDF that Cars are expensive in Pakistan. What makes SL to import Japanese Cars from Pakistan wonders me!
 
A year ago i believe Srilanka raised import duty on Indian cars and now they are purchasing cars from Pak .
Srilanka has openly displayed their hostility towards us . No Indian should be under any illusion that they are a friendly nation ...

We don't have country based taxing though, I'm still wondering why GoSL is too lazy to kick those crappy Indian buses from our country. ;)

hey dude, I was talking about the buses which built with GoSL and Indian company "Ashok Leyland". Those buses which build joint venture with GoSL has brand name "Lanka Ashok Leyland". These buses have unique noise which you can identify the bus since long distant.

Don`t know , but couple of events in the past like shooting our fishermen , and now this CHOGM event has really made me a bitter towards them . It seems that our govt ready to alienate our own people in TN to pacify SL. that is making me even more angry. SL won`t stop at that , they are leaning towards China and Pak more and more each day . We must not show them any leniency.
