what about his brother Mr. C.A.C Marikkar the business tycoon in Kandy. Owner of Mathelee Tours bus company.
Hello,
I have heard rumors of C.A.S Marikars oratory skills. They say his Sinhalese was articulate and had won the approval of Sri Lankan Buddhist monks where in respect he was called Sinhala Marikar. If there is anyone out there that can direct me to a source to prove this rumor a fact (like a recording) please do send a mail to mar_acma@hotmail.com
To the above comment i would like to add that the company is now obsolete.
thanks.
