Mahinda Abeysundara fakes illness

Senior journalist Mahinda Abeysundara, consultant editor to ‘Dinamina’ and who writes the script for ITN’s ‘Pasu Viparama’ programme, is
on sick leave and is staying at home, say Lake House sources.

Following an illness, he was admitted to hospital, but even after regaining normal health, he fakes illness and refuses to go to work at Lake House and ITN.

“At this rate, it is sure Mahinda Boss will spoil up. In our old age, we cannot shoulder such problems. In the end, what will happen is we will not get a pension.

Not reporting for work is no problem. If a medical is sent, the salary is sent home. Therefore, it is better to remain like this,” he has told his friends, who telephone or visit him to inquire about his health.
