Today marks exactly one year when the last of Sri Lanka’s strongmen passed away.

Mr Rajamahendran’s contribution to the commercial landscape of this country was immense.

His concern for the welfare and betterment of the voiceless and often forgotten people of Sri Lanka is truly his lasting legacy.

Someone told me recently -who shall remain Annonymous- that Mr Rajamahendran was fearless, honest and kind.

He certainly had the courage to be different and he created a springboard for members of the Capital Maharaja Group to move ahead and continue to play a dynamic role in the development of this country – through a variety of means.

Here’s missing you Boss.

In appreciation of a one of a kind Gentleman.
