CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF SRI LANKA WANTS TO DO TO THE PROMOTERS OF ENRIQUE IGLESIAS SHOW IN HIS COUNTRY

 

ENRIQUE IGLESIAS DURING THE SRI LANKAN SHOW

The President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena is annoyed with the promoters of the Enrique Iglesias show in Colombo on December 20^th where at the height of the excitement, female spectators removed their brassieres and flung at Iglesias and has advocated that the promoters be publicly flogged with stingray tail whips as obtained in ancient Sri Lanka.

Mr. Sirisena is upset because it goes against the morals of the country which is predominantly Buddhist. However, not a whole lot of Sri Lankans are in support of the president as seen in online reaction to his comments. Many drew attention to the fact that Sri Lanka is a foremost exporter of lingerie for international brands, others drew his attention to the fact that his son-in-law was present at the show which was fully packed. Some even promoted a hashtag #BrasForSl certainly not to express any favor for the president’s opinion.

The president, however, did not call for the flogging the women involved but put the blame squarely on the promoters, which has as main shareholders, Sri Lankan cricket stars Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara who have offered an apology for the incident which they termed “negative experience”. They also offered to do a partial refund of the show’s tickets which were from $34 - $340 each as this was also queried by the president.

The Colombo show was the only Asian stop for the Spaniard’s “Love and Sex” world tour.

What do you think? Flogging?
