@101chingchong .. I wonder how a chingchong can cancel Sri Lankan citizenship...

[101chingchong]

@rukshan123456 we do what we want this is sinhala nation...u tamil garbage

[918532]

@rukshan123456

When a Sri Lankan citizen accepts another nationality, his/her Sri Lankan citizenship will automatically cease. It can be regained by applying for dual nationality, however this is granted on individual merits and value for the country. In this case MIA has no value for Sri Lanka.

[MJlikesMONEY]

She can kick that shitty rapper, DeLon's ass, she beats him all the way

[93Supragirl]

this is not true! she don`t know what the war is about. the Tamil people startet everything, because they wanted the upper part of Sri Lanka for them self. if everybody just could have been friends, the beautiful island would not be destroyed. Singalese people was not tamil peoples enemy.

[penade]

1) The fact that a particular race not equal a terrorist group isn't a hard thing to grasp for the world.

2) Do not know a person holding a such a special place in the western media, either tamil or sinhalese. But you are definitely not helping the open-minded general tamils in sri lanka.

[funnylad007]

Change the title mate . Its person from "Tamil Eelam".

[robaralis]

i never heard about this

[NoEalamInSL]

There is no genocide is going on in SL. 54% Tamil population is living amongsinhalese in south of SL. Real genocide done by LTTE. No Sinhalese allowed in North. This is a long term strategy of Tamils to spread all over the world on the name of civil war. Longer the civil war more the number of people settle in europe. MIA had that privilege too. MIA is a daughter of a former tiger rebel, thus she is a daughter of a terrorist. She talk onbehlf of Tamil Tigers. Her song paper plane reflects her.

[Sarj22]

So many racist comments..Why? How low can you go? Need to spread your hate on Youtube now? Most people judge a whole group by the performance of a few. Ignorance, laziness, and conformity lead to this trivial prejudices. To all who choose to make hurtful/racist/belittling comments, it is you who prove to be the lesser being by flaunting your stupidity, regardless of how much money you supposedly make.

This video is for entertainment purposes, no need to make stupid comments you racist sinhalese

[omfgeco]

This war is a business.ppl r told lies, & media is fukd as well.all the ppl who belive the govt news & try to kill tamil, r bunch of foolish racist who hv no life.dats all.getta life...just try to respect an human who speaks another language.PEACE!!

[kanaya123]

Well, What gets up into trouble is not the things we don't know, but its the things we know for sure but they just aint so.

MIA respect you as an artist. Love your music Love your character but This is not the truth.

I am A Sri Lankan and a Sinhalese. and There is not such hatred among Tamils and Us. its is a Propaganda. Because War is A Business.

Again Not Truth.

[18AzNGaL18]

aww..mia lookz so cute all preggy!! bless...u deserve da best!!

[Andarta606]

Lying Bitch!!! She has no idea about the situation in Sri Lanka!!!! Considering the fact that her father is a main LTTE terrorist!!!! The Tigers kill more of the Tamil civilians than the government!! The SL government is doing everything to help the Tamils while it's the LTTE who are just killing their own kind. even the UN has appealed to the LTTE to not kill the Tamil civilians trying to flee the uncleared zones. The SL government is doing their very best in helping the Tamil civilians.

[tamiluk]

Tamils wiped out?

As a person who has undertaken post-conflict needs assessment in the conflict zones in early 2003 and post-tsunami needs assessment in early 2005 for the UN, I can authoritatively say that there are only about 100,000-150,000 people in the battle zone as of mid-Feb 2009, which amounts to a mere 0.50 - 0.75 % of the total population of Sri Lanka (20 million). So, how on earth can she claim that Tamils accounting for 20% of the population are being wiped out? - Dr. Muttukrishna

[taravindan03]

Sir As you r a doctor please understand Tamils are killed by SL Army. No food allowed. No medicine allowed. No journalist Allowed. And Rajapacshe and his regime have breached all the human rights law. He must be trialed in international criminal court for genocide after Rwandan president. I have no problem for trial Ltte for their crimes. Regardless of their .... whoever commit crimes they must be brought to justice. we British Tamils work round the clock with diplomats to achieve this

[tamiluk]

I think you have not read all my comments fully. Those comments are extracts from an article (which Ive indicated in every comments) written by Dr. Muttukrishna Sarvananthan in Thenee & I'm in FULL AGREEMENT WITH THAT ARTICLE.

Now, Im very crtical about GOSL not doing enough to help people trapped (i.e. forcefully held by LTTE), but you have to realise that whatever food and medicine is still available in Wanni has been sent by GOSL, which includes those once for used LTTE.

[tamiluk]

The UN also highlighted the fact that children under the age of 14 are forcibly recruited by the LTTE to fight this futile war. Is not the sacrifice of the Tamil children for a lost cause, a genocide of the next generation of the Tamil community?

Of course, unacceptable numbers of innocent Tamil civilians are being killed in the past few weeks by both sides, which is certainly a cause for grave concern.

- Dr. Muttukrishna Sarvananthan (Thenee)

[imissubuddy]

She brings the issues of Sri Lanka to light... Sri Lankans should be proud. :-)

[rukey27]

yaa ryte.. lyk u knw d real issues in Sri Lanka. We dnt proud of LTTE supporting ppl...

[mallybo0o]

issues? she lied her ASS off in this interview. i think that's sick. if you're going to talk about the war she should at least have the decency to state the facts.

[racingpluto]

no she does not.. thats a gross lot of misinformation... irresponsible as hell.. Please do not call her Sri Lankan. She doesnt know or care enough to even find out the real state of affairs.

[lion100011]

@johnjimmyjohn nope she just supports terrorists who killed so many humans... i don't think anyone should be proud of that. all humans have a right to live....
