We are in the midst of a challenge that is global as well as local. But we have the necessary ingredients in place to overcome the challenge.

NSB will be celebrating 50 years in 2022 and we hope to celebrate this milestone on a grand scale. We hope to take a large replica of our savings till across the country, while we intend to construct an irrigation tank and a maternity ward in a remote village in the country. 

We will be establishing two more industries during this financial year. We have acquired the land. Due to the recent policies of the Government we have been able to venture into these new industries.

I want to say thank you to our loyal customers as it is because of them that Samsung is in Sri Lanka. We are always trying to develop and improve our services and products for the Sri Lankan customer and all suggestions from them are welcome.  

Last but not least I would like to thank this court, and I would like to thank Rod Laver Arena. I love you each year, more and more. The love affair keeps going. Thank you very much.  

As a Group, we are very positive about the market. Once the situation settles, it will be apparent that the supply will not be sufficient to fulfil the demand as new projects have not been initiated in the past year so there will be a vacuum to fill. We are going to be ready for that, and we will continue to make investments in property development.  

Although based in the US, I work across the world and have been involved in projects spanning about 20 countries. I have been working in the field for 15 years now.
