Yesterday(24/05) I was at Nawaloka Hospital to consult a physician as I was continuously battered by Berny Fever. There were many people waiting for their turn, most of them had to keep standing because there were not enough seating facilities.
Suddenly my wife told me that "Your minister is here". When I looked that way I saw Health Minister Mr. Maithreepala Sirisena was standing few yards away. Initially I thought that he was there to attend some kind of hospital function.
I was prove to be wrong , he was there with his family to consult a doctor. He along with his family had to keep standing as there were not enough places to sit.After waiting there for about 20-30 min they got the chance to see the doctor.
It was quite surprising to see the Health Minister waiting in along with general public for his turn, Without a big bandwagon of security officers. These kind of politicians naturally earn there respect from general masses. It is even more heartwarming to note that this is our new minister.
Didn't you try to speak to him?
