As a Colombo University former academic, I knew him well. A solid academic figure, much respected. However, this job needs a much more energetic person. Age catches up and I can guess his age. This appointment is more than likely a burden he didn't need. All the best though.

First thing I will do is to instruct this clown not to be a clown. He holds an extremely serious position. But, probably not exposed to the way things are done in a legitimate and fair manner in civilized societies he suffers from delusions. He thinks by being evasive and clownish the problems around him will go away! pathetic man!
