<ul><li>Govt. says cyber compromise occurred on supplier’s side, not State airline system’s</li><li>Deputy Min. insists diverted $ 220,000 does not amount to financial loss</li><li>CID complaints lodged as investigations continue in SL and Dubai</li></ul> The Government on Friday (15) confirmed that approximately Rs. 80 million linked to a payment by SriLankan Airlines was transferred to an incorrect overseas bank account following a cyber compromise involving a foreign service provider.&nbsp;Deputy Minister of Ports and Civil Aviation Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku told The Sunday Morning that the incident had occurred in March after the email system of a Dubai-based supplier was allegedly hacked, resulting in altered payment instructions being sent to the airline.&nbsp;The payment, reportedly amounting to nearly $ 220,000, had subsequently been transferred to an unintended account at the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank. The Deputy Minister maintained that the incident had not resulted in a financial loss to the National Carrier.&nbsp;“This incident happened during March, and it was not due to any issue within SriLankan Airlines. It was the supplier’s email system that had been hacked. We subsequently made a claim to the institution concerned, and since the payment had already been completed from our side, they removed the amount from our payable account. We now make payments to the corrected account. Therefore, it currently does not appear as a financial loss to SriLankan Airlines,” Kodithuwakku claimed.&nbsp;He further said that the liability had since been adjusted in the airline’s accounts following discussions with the supplier.&nbsp;“That amount has effectively been recovered because they have now removed it from our debtor list. Previously, it appeared under liabilities owed to them, but they have adjusted that amount accordingly. Therefore, it is not currently reflected as a loss in our financial statements. This was ultimately a mistake that occurred due to their side being hacked, not ours,” he added.&nbsp;The matter drew attention after MP Dayasiri Jayasekara called for an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the transaction and the procedural failures that had enabled the diversion of funds.According to the allegations raised by Jayasekara, the payment intended for a Dubai-based operational agent connected to the airline’s Chennai branch and Dubai operations had been redirected to another account following the cyber compromise.&nbsp;Responding to the controversy, SriLankan Airlines Manager – Corporate Communications Deepal Perera reiterated that the airline itself had not been subjected to a direct cyber breach and had acted based on what appeared to be legitimate instructions issued through the supplier’s official communication channels.&nbsp;“This incident occurred sometime in March. One of our suppliers in Dubai had their emails hacked by a third party, and based on the instructions we received through those channels, we made the payment. This was a legitimate payment due to the service provider, and we acted according to the payment instructions sent to us. Apparently, their email system had been compromised by a third party. This is an issue on their side and not a breach within SriLankan Airlines,” Perera claimed.&nbsp;He added that the airline had immediately informed the relevant authorities and initiated formal complaints once the fraudulent diversion had been discovered.&nbsp;“Once we became aware of the issue, we lodged complaints with the Criminal Investigation Department and informed all relevant stakeholders. Investigations are currently underway both in Dubai and through the relevant law enforcement authorities connected to the supplier,” he said.

The proposed business evaluation of the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery is not a preliminary step towards a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), but a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) arrangement structured around project financing, according to Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Managing Director Dr. Mayura Neththikumarage.&nbsp;The clarification was issued in the context of a Request for Proposal (RFP) formally published by the Department Consultant Procurement Committee on behalf of the CPC under reference REF/CPCD/02/2026.&nbsp;The procurement exercise seeks to appoint a specialist consultancy firm to undertake a comprehensive business valuation of the Sapugaskanda Refinery development and its associated operations.According to the RFP, the selected consultant will assess both tangible and intangible components of the State asset base, including operational capacity and broader business value. Interested firms have been instructed to download the bidding documents from the official public tenders’ section of the CPC website.&nbsp;A hybrid pre-proposal meeting has been scheduled for 25 May at 10 a.m., to be conducted both online and at the Sapugaskanda Refinery conference facility. Prospective bidders must complete registration by 22 May. The deadline for submission of proposals has been fixed for 2 p.m. on 15 June. Technical and financial proposals are required to be submitted as separate sealed hard-copy envelopes to the Procurement and Stores Manager in Colombo, while a soft copy of the technical proposal must also be submitted via email.Explaining the rationale behind the initiative, Dr. Neththikumarage said the structure was designed to preserve State ownership while enabling external financing and technical participation for operational improvement. He added that the outcome of the valuation exercise would directly determine the financial recovery framework applicable to potential investors under the BOT model.“It is not a PPP. It is a BOT project. In a BOT arrangement, the investor builds and operates the facility for a defined period, during which they recover their investment and earn returns through operations, after which it is transferred back to the CPC. The level of initial investment we can justify depends on the valuation of the asset, including both tangible and intangible components. We are not only transferring physical infrastructure, but also brand value and the business itself. Therefore, a comprehensive business valuation is essential, as it will determine the recovery structure for the investor,” Dr. Neththikumarage stated.&nbsp;Reiterating that ownership of the refinery would remain with the State, he emphasised that the arrangement was not a restructuring of the CPC but a financing mechanism for project development. He further noted that local employees would continue to form the core operational workforce, with external partners engaged primarily for investment recovery and selected operational functions.&nbsp;“This is project financing, not restructuring. The facility will remain owned by the CPC. However, certain operational functions will be assigned to the investor. Our staff will continue to perform their roles, while the investor will earn returns through operational participation until their investment is recovered,” he said.&nbsp;Addressing questions on potential foreign participation and technology integration, Dr. Neththikumarage confirmed that Chinese entities were among those showing interest, while stressing that there would be no transfer of ownership of the business itself. He also highlighted that the refinery already operated on upgraded digital systems, which would support future expansion and efficiency improvements.&nbsp;“There are Chinese parties in the broader participation pool. Whoever invests will bring in capital and technology, but ownership will not change. It is similar to a lease arrangement in principle, where investment is recovered through usage returns. The refinery already has advanced digital infrastructure. We have implemented SAP S/4HANA in the refining module, and we are also integrating systems such as Microsoft Copilot and embedded Microsoft 365 tools, including AI-enabled solutions,” he explained.&nbsp;In a separate development, the CPC is also advancing expansion work at the Trincomalee Port fuel storage and logistics network. However, Dr. Neththikumarage clarified that this expansion project was structurally independent from the Sapugaskanda Refinery valuation exercise.

<ul><li>CEO warns of possible TU action over salary delays</li></ul>The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) has requested an allocation of Rs 1.91 billion from the Treasury through the Ministry of Transport to mitigate a severe liquidity crisis. The financial shortfall has been primarily triggered by the recent surges in global diesel prices combined with mandatory increments in employee salaries.Last year, the Government provided financial assistance to the State transport entity, allocating approximately Rs. 274 million per month for a period of six months to cover salary expenses. However, with that support having concluded, the institution is now facing difficulties in managing its enhanced recurrent expenditure.SLTB CEO Dhammika Ratna confirmed the financial constraints and outlined the specific reasons behind the request to the Treasury.“The background is that diesel prices have increased for us, which subsequently elevated our overall operational costs. Simultaneously, employee salaries were increased recently. Because of these two factors, we faced a financial shortage. Therefore, we requested these additional funds specifically to facilitate the payment of the increased salaries,” Ratna stated.Addressing the potential consequences of delayed Treasury disbursements, he warned that while daily transport operations would not be halted, the institution would struggle to compensate its workforce.“Bus operations will continue as usual, but we will face a severe problem in paying employee salaries. I cannot definitively speak on whether the employees will launch a strike, as you will have to ask the employees themselves. However, if the funds are not received on time and salaries cannot be paid, there is a distinct possibility that they might resort to trade union action,” Ratna explained.Despite the escalating expenditure, the SLTB has not sought authorisation to increase passenger ticket fares yet. Passenger fares are regulated by the National Transport Commission and the SLTB cannot arbitrarily adjust prices to reflect market conditions.“We need to secure a formal decision from the Board of Directors and formally request a price adjustment by demonstrating that we are incurring a financial loss. As a Government institution, we cannot increase fares whenever we want,” he noted.To manage the limited resources, the institution has implemented internal fuel conservation measures, although these restrictions strictly exclude passenger transport vehicles.“We are going with a limit for our administrative office staff. We have instructed the office staff to restrict their fuel usage and eliminate unnecessary travel. However, we have not placed any limits on passenger buses because the Transport Minister explicitly instructed us not to limit fuel for buses. They must definitely run because it is an essential public service,” Ratna said.He further assured the public that the current financial squeeze would not compromise passenger safety or the mechanical integrity of the active transport fleet.“Just because the diesel price has increased, there is no negative impact on fleet maintenance or bus safety. This current issue is solely related to our financial responsibilities and liquidity management,” Ratna concluded.

<ul><li>Inclement weather halts excavations</li></ul>The skeletal remains at the Chemmani mass grave have increased to 252 following the recommencement of excavations in April, with activities being halted due to the adverse weather.“A few more bodies were found when they restarted the excavation, but I think they may have stopped because of the heavy rain here. We’re just finding more and more skeletal remains. Now it’s at 252, the last I checked,” Tamil National Alliance MP, Attorney-at-Law M.A. Sumanthiran told The Sunday Morning.He added that courts had once again been urged to push for an independent international laboratory to carry out DNA testing of the skeletal remains.“We restarted submissions in court. They have to start an investigation. With that, the task is to identify the remains, and we have suggested that they contact some well-known laboratory outside the country and make arrangements for it to be sent there.”The sixth phase of excavation at the Chemmani mass grave commenced on 27 April under the supervision of Jaffna Magistrate S. Leninkumar, resuming work seven months after the previous phase was halted.The fifth phase of excavations at the site had been suspended on 6 September 2025, amid persistent rainfall and delays in securing approval for the next tranche of funding from the Ministry of Justice.By the end of that phase, skeletal remains corresponding to 240 human bodies had been identified, with 239 sets of remains recovered.On 28 April, the Jaffna Magistrate’s Court was informed that an allocation of Rs. 2.1 million had been made available to facilitate the resumption of excavation work. The sixth phase was initiated based on findings from prior scan reports of the site.Excavations are being conducted under judicial supervision, with a team of experts including University of Kelaniya Postgraduate Institute of Archaeology Senior Professor Raj Somadeva and forensic specialist Dr. Selliah Pranavan of the University of Jaffna.Recovered skeletal remains and artefacts are currently being held at the Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Jaffna, under court orders.The Chemmani mass grave, located on the outskirts of Jaffna, first gained attention during the conflict in the 1990s involving the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. In 1998, at the height of the conflict, the site came under scrutiny following allegations of a mass grave, with 15 skeletons discovered at the time.More recently, skeletal remains were uncovered on 13 February 2025, during routine development work in the area. A week later, the court ordered a judicial examination, leading to the commencement of excavations on 15 May 2025 under judicial supervision.Attempts to contact the Ministry of Justice regarding the progress and funding for the process failed.

<ul><li>Hemarathana Thera, child’s mother remanded till 22 May&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>The National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) has reportedly written to the Attorney General’s (AG) Department requesting intervention in the court proceedings relating to the child sexual abuse and rape allegations levelled against Anuradhapura Atamasthana Chief Prelate Pallegama Hemarathana Thera.&nbsp;Speaking to The Sunday Morning, NCPA Chairperson Preethi Inoka Ranasinghe confirmed that the letter had been sent to the AG’s Department.&nbsp;According to sources close to the matter, the NCPA had requested the AG’s Department to pay special attention to the case due to significant public concern and to provide necessary legal guidance and representation regarding the proceedings.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the NCPA said in a press release that it had been monitoring the matter since the incident had been reported to ensure the law was properly enforced.&nbsp;The authority further stated that it remained committed to overseeing the ongoing investigations to ensure the minor girl’s rights were protected and justice was served. It also stated it was prepared to take appropriate action, when necessary, in the best interests of the child.The NCPA claimed that no external influence or interference had been exerted on the authority regarding safeguarding the child’s rights or ensuring the law was properly implemented. It added that further steps would continue to be taken to properly monitor the matter.&nbsp;The authority also urged the public not to cause unnecessary fear or unrest regarding the incident, noting that there was no reason for undue panic. It warned that any unnecessary public agitation could obstruct the administration of justice.&nbsp;In addition, the NCPA stated that the victimised child was currently being kept safely at a special protection centre and that her security had been ensured.&nbsp;The Anuradhapura Chief Magistrate’s Court on Friday (15) ordered that suspect Hemarathana Thera, who is currently receiving treatment at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka (NHSL) while in remand custody over allegations of sexually abusing a minor girl, be produced before court on 22 May.&nbsp;Anuradhapura Chief Magistrate Siyapath Sasindu Wickramaratne issued the order to the Superintendent of the Colombo Remand Prison.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the Chief Magistrate also rejected a bail application made on behalf of the victim’s mother, who has been remanded over allegations that she knowingly handed over her minor daughter to the monk for severe sexual abuse in exchange for money.&nbsp;Attorney Pradeep Dissanayake appearing for the suspect’s mother requested the court to release her on any bail condition. However, the Magistrate rejected the request and ordered that she remain in remand custody until 22 May.When the case was taken up on Friday (15), the Nittambuwa Police, presenting a further report, informed the court that investigations into the incident had now been completed.The Police further stated that excerpts of the investigation had been forwarded to the Attorney General for legal advice and informed the court that the first suspect, Hemarathana Thera, was continuing to receive treatment at the NHSL.&nbsp;Prison officials, presenting a medical report submitted through Anuradhapura Prison Superintendent Prasad Premathilaka by the Colombo Magazine Prison Superintendent, informed the court that the suspect monk was currently undergoing several medical examinations while receiving treatment at the NHSL.&nbsp;President’s Counsel Kalinga Indatissa, appearing for Hemarathana Thera, informed the court that no bail application would be made on behalf of his client at the Friday (15) hearing.&nbsp;The prosecution was led by Nittambuwa Headquarters Chief Inspector P.M. Anura Gunawardena, together with Gampaha Division Police Children and Women’s Bureau Officer-in-Charge Police Inspector Vinishiya Premarathna and Nittambuwa Police Children and Women’s Bureau Officer-in-Charge Police Inspector Vasundara Gunaratne. They were assisted by Anuradhapura Headquarters Chief Inspector R.M. Jayaweera and Sub-Inspector A.C. Dayananda, who handles cases at the Anuradhapura Headquarters Police Children and Women’s Bureau.&nbsp;Hemarathana Thera had previously been remanded until 22 May under an order issued by Fort Magistrate Pasan Amarasekara. The suspect monk, who had been receiving treatment at a private hospital in Colombo until 12 May, was later transferred to the NHSL under another order issued by the Fort Magistrate.&nbsp;The Police informed the court that charges against Hemarathana Thera included committing grave sexual abuse against a minor under Section 365(B)(2)(B) of the Penal Code (Amendment) Act No.22 of 1995 and rape of a minor under Section 364(2)(E) of the same act.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the victim’s mother has been accused under Section 360(C)(1)(A) of the Penal Code (Amendment) Act No.16 of 2006 for human trafficking and aiding and abetting the first suspect in committing the alleged offences.

<ul><li>Norochcholai substandard coal emissions cited in calls for stronger CEA oversight&nbsp;</li></ul> The Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ) is urging the Government to remove or significantly curtail the regulatory powers held by the Provincial Environmental Authority of the North Western Province (PEA-NWP), arguing that the existing structure has created serious enforcement gaps and weakened accountability surrounding environmentally sensitive projects, including the Lakvijaya Coal Power Plant in Norochcholai.&nbsp;The calls come in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Nakolagane Purana Rajamaha Viharaya case, which found multiple State institutions guilty of failing to protect the environment and ordered several agencies, including the PEA-NWP and the Central Environmental Authority (CEA), to publish public apologies in national newspapers.&nbsp;Environmentalists said the judgment exposed longstanding weaknesses in the country’s fragmented environmental governance framework.&nbsp;Speaking to The Sunday Morning, CEJ Chairman Hemantha Withanage claimed that the North Western Province had effectively become an environmental exception zone due to the existence of a separate provincial environmental authority operating under its own statute.&nbsp;“The North Western Province is the only province that has its own environmental charter and authority. What has happened over the years is a distortion in the implementation of environmental law,” he said.Under the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, environmental conservation is a devolved subject shared between the central and provincial administrations. However, Withanage argued that the separate framework operating in the province had resulted in jurisdictional conflicts and weakened enforcement of national environmental standards.&nbsp;According to him, the provincial authority has repeatedly maintained that certain provisions of the National Environmental Act do not apply within the North Western Province, creating legal uncertainty and limiting the protections available to affected communities.&nbsp;“As a result, people in the province have lost the protection afforded by national environmental standards. We have seen this particularly in relation to sand mining, industrial pollution, and shrimp farming,” he alleged.&nbsp;Withanage also pointed to the Lakvijaya Coal Power Plant in Norochcholai as a key example of institutional and technical shortcomings within the provincial regulatory framework, particularly following the recent controversy surrounding substandard coal imports.&nbsp;The PEA-NWP is currently responsible for issuing Environmental Protection Licences (EPLs) for the power plant. However, the CEJ alleged that the authority lacked the technical capacity required to monitor several hazardous pollutants included within its own licensing conditions.&nbsp;“They include limits for substances such as arsenic and mercury in the licences, but they do not have the equipment or technical expertise to measure them,” Withanage claimed.&nbsp;He further alleged that when environmental concerns emerged, both the provincial authority and the CEA frequently avoided taking direct responsibility. “When pollution issues arise, one institution passes the responsibility to the other. Meanwhile, affected communities continue to suffer,” he said.&nbsp;Meanwhile, CEA Chairman Prof. Tilak Hewawasam acknowledged that the CEA’s powers within the North Western Province remained legally limited due to the existence of the separate provincial authority.“The CEA generally does not intervene in matters concerning Norochcholai, and there is a specific legal reason for that. Under a separate statute, the North Western Province has established its own PEA, which holds exclusive jurisdiction within the province,” Hewawasam said.“It is the PEA that is responsible for issuing the EPL for the Norochcholai coal power plant and for monitoring its ongoing environmental compliance,” he added.&nbsp;However, he said that the CEA had continued independently monitoring air quality around the power plant and would intervene if national standards were exceeded.&nbsp;Multiple attempts to contact PEA-NWP Chairman I.M.I. Ilangakoon, Environment Minister Dr. Dammika Patabendi, Deputy Minister of Environment Anton Jayakody, and Ministry Secretary K.R. Uduwawala for comments were unsuccessful.

<ul><li>Govt. eyes $ 1 b green energy export target by 2030</li></ul>The Cabinet is expected to review and potentially approve Sri Lanka’s Green Hydrogen Policy on Monday (18) to accelerate both foreign and domestic investment in the country’s renewable energy sector, the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA) told The Sunday Morning.&nbsp;The anticipated approval follows the issuance of a Request for Information (RFI) on 23 April by the Ministry of Energy together with the Board of Investment (BOI).&nbsp;The joint market-sounding initiative seeks to identify prospective investors and projects capable of developing green hydrogen and green ammonia manufacturing facilities under existing investment frameworks.Under the RFI, qualified investors, developers, and operators have been invited to submit high-level project concepts. Authorities say the information gathered will support policy refinement, investment facilitation planning, and the formulation of future structured procurement and engagement processes.&nbsp;Submissions will be jointly evaluated by the Ministry of Energy and the BOI, with emphasis placed on technical capability and investment feasibility.&nbsp;The Government clarified that the exercise was non-binding and did not constitute a formal tender, solicitation, or offer. Parties demonstrating strong commercial and strategic alignment may subsequently be invited for bilateral discussions.The RFI submission window is scheduled to close on 5 June, after which the information collected is expected to guide the country’s long-term implementation strategy for hydrogen energy development.SLSEA Chairman Prof. Wijendra Jayalath Bandara said that the current focus was on securing policy approval before transitioning towards a detailed implementation framework.“There was a hydrogen roadmap prepared long ago. Initially, we are getting Cabinet approval for the Green Hydrogen Policy. The recommendation from the Government side is to prepare a strategic implementation roadmap for green hydrogen. In terms of the legal framework, anyone seeking to utilise energy resources in the country for these projects must obtain an energy permit, which would normally be issued by the SLSEA.&nbsp;“Safety regulations specific to hydrogen have not yet been approved, but investors will still have to comply with the existing laws and regulations of the country. In the meantime, while we prepare the roadmap or strategic implementation plan, projects can proceed without causing harm,” he said.Prof. Bandara explained that green hydrogen production in Sri Lanka would rely exclusively on renewable energy sources and would not place an additional burden on the national electricity grid.“Sri Lanka is situated close to the equator and receives an enormous amount of sunlight. Investors can utilise rooftop solar or large-scale solar installations, depending on land availability. The energy used must come from renewable sources such as hydro, solar, wind, or other green energy sources. These projects will not have any direct connection to the national grid or existing electricity infrastructure. One of the important aspects of hydrogen is that it can also function as an energy storage mechanism,” he said.

<ul><li>JMIC raises piracy threat level to ‘severe’ in Somali Basin&nbsp;</li><li>At least 5 vessels affected thus far</li></ul> The growing insecurity and turmoil around the maritime chokepoint that is the Strait of Hormuz, following the Israel/US attacks on Iran, has once again led to the rise of piracy in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) and the coast of Somalia, with multiple vessels boarded and hijacked over the last few weeks.&nbsp;The recent resurgence of piracy has led the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) to raise its threat level for piracy off the Somali coast and in the Somali Basin to ‘severe,’ the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reported.&nbsp;Acts of piracy off the Somali coast had been contained following a consolidated multinational naval effort, which lasted over a decade, with occasional ventures made by a few groups in the recent past.However, during the last few weeks of April and early May, a surge of attacks off northern Somalia’s Puntland coastline, including three hijackings in a week, shows that isolated incidents have evolved into coordinated operations by active pirate groups.&nbsp;With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed off or restricted, the Bab al-Mandeb Strait at the southern tip of the Red Sea has become one of the most critical chokepoints in the global economy. This is compounded by key oil producers like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia switching oil loading facilities to ports in the Red Sea, which now attracts high-value targets like tankers, which the pirates hijack for ransom.&nbsp;Several vessels, including a fuel tanker, have been hijacked, while a large Arabian fishing dhow, which was boarded, is reported to have been used as a ‘mothership’ to replenish pirate skiffs off the Puntland coastline to extend their hunting range.&nbsp;In September 2024, Sri Lankan fishing vessel Lorenzo Putha IV (Reg. No. IMUL-A-2590-CHW) with six crew onboard, was boarded by Somali pirates, and led to a multinational rescue operation, coordinated by the Sri Lanka Navy, Indian Navy, Combined Maritime Forces – Task Force in Bahrain, and Seychelles Coast Guard. Seychelles special forces boarded the hijacked vessels and liberated the Sri Lankan crew, while arresting several pirates.&nbsp;When contacted by The Sunday Morning, the Ministry of Fisheries said that it was yet to receive any warning about pirate activity in the WIO by defence or law enforcement authorities and, as such, had not issued a warning to the Sri Lankan fishing fleet (as of Friday) about the risk.&nbsp;
