Well for starters there is nothing called the UGC Act.
And we are interested in what @GotabayaR considers obstacles in the existing UGC?
No doubt the Act needs reform. Hopefully in the direction of greater academic freedom, less political interference and democratisation.

Not interested in Chandimal's attire (his money, his body, his attire).
But I have a question.
How come the hotel management was not arrested for allowing Chandimal and Co. to have/host a party?

An actress/model being sent to QC is national news whilst a man who went out (during lockdown) to get food for his family because his household was in self-isolation beaten and murdered in the presence of police is just a social media post. This is the real Sri Lanka.

So much for his "anivaaryayen" promise of ending curfew on Monday. No wonder no one trusts government. No wonder there is panic buying.
Quarantine curfew in Western Province extended until 9 November 5 a.m., says Army Commander Lt. Gen. Shavendra Silva #lka #SriLanka #COVID19 #Covid_19 #COVID19SL #staysafe #stayhome #WearAMask

A feeling one gets when one's government does (1) and then (2):
(1) Vehemently denying 'community spread' of Covid-19 and locking down your entire district with a 3-day curfew to contain it; and
(2) Assuring there's no need to worry that there may be extended lockdown periods.
