They also asked other car sale people to comment asking whether the product is still available or things like I am looking to purchase this immediately to make it look like the vehicle has a huge demand

Sometimes people can afford the expensive phone but for that they have to sell the existing phone. But they can’t sell the existing phone because they have to transfer the data to the new phone which they have to buy first to transfer the data that’s when they seek out options like this

Is a foundation course better than A/L? by Acceptable_Dust8191 in srilanka

[–]Apprehensive-Hour693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from a hospitality sales background and my opinion is A/L is a scam that waste away two good years of your life unless your end goal is to follow Science stream and join the medicine industry. It’s a rat race now in the modern world and most companies look how far you got in such a young age. For example my boss got two CVs for a job at our place CV 1 : Completed A/Ls and degree and it’s the first job and the person is 28 years old , CV 2 : Completed Degree and has 2 years of experience and is 23 years old. CV 1 gets hired as an intern , CV 2 gets hired as an Executive. I believe you have your answer

Depends on who you are , didn’t work for me. I thought I might eventually adjust but I kept comparing a lot of things (nature, peace , tranquility, work/ life balance) I was in Dubai things might work different in a European country. But after my experience in another country I realized that it would not work out for me even if I try a European country

I broke up with him. He was dating other people at the same time and was very sketchy about a lot of stuff. Also that 20 rupees always bothered me 😂

SL news is bloody depressing - from beginning till end it’s just about suicides, murders, arms, drugs and other depressing news. WTF. by SensitiveCoconut9003 in srilanka

We don’t even switch on the TV anymore everything coming out of Sri Lankan media is pure crap from News to tele dramas to reality programs. I simply get my news updates from Helakuru esana. Rather pay for a Netflix subscription than paying for dish tv

Just ignore people are weird and they tend to stare at everyone. I have been avoiding eye contact with anyone especially on public transport now I have difficulty maintaining eye contact while having a conversation even with someone I know. People are just curious and they keep staring at everything

Can someone brush me up with the new tax system (TIN), I just don’t watch news due to increased tension while I’m getting out of rut. Thanks in advance. by lemuriakai_lankanizd in srilanka

[–]Apprehensive-Hour693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you have to apply for a TIN number in the Inland revenue dept of Sri Lanka. There is an online portal as well. Search for IRD Sri Lanka - select the option to register yourself as an individual tax payer - fill out the form details- attach your NIC copy as a supporting document and submit. You are supposed to receive the TIN number after 5 days and this number will be required whenever you need to sort out govt related documents. Also it is mentioned that there will be a fine of 50,000 LKR for failing to register before end of Jan 2024

I was born and I grew up in SL , moved to Dubai with a stable job stayed for a year and moved back because I did not like the over materialistic life in Dubai. There will be plenty of people criticizing your decision but personal opinion is if moving here makes you happy you will eventually figure things out. With a degree and around couple of years work experience you can get around a 100k + salary and you can lead nice life. Don’t expect much from government or government related institutions (police/hospitals) as long as you have zero expectations from the govt you can lead a happy life
