He has kept the country's flag flying in its true sense. He has performed his duties as the High Commissioner with professionalism and dedication which we have not seen in a while. With his loyalty and passion for our mother land, he set an example to the expatriate community in Australia. He was driving force on many projects which were beneficial to Sri Lanka. He was always accessible and willing to help those in need from within the community - he truly was 'Officer and a gentleman' - we urge that the GOSL re-consider their decision and allow him to continue doing the good work he has been doing in the interests of Sri Lanka.

He engaged with all members of the community, irrespective of their ethnicity. It was heartening to note increasing representation by members of the minority communities at functions at the HC during his 4 years. At functions, he openly showed his gratitude to his former schoolmaster at Royal, a Tamil Gentleman, now in Canberra. Under HC Samarasinghe, the community had leadership and we felt proud to be Sri Lankan. I am also aware that he was held in high esteem by the Australian News Media and the present and former Governments. Whilst being aware that he was a political appointee by the previous Government, I am confident that he would have continued to serve the rest of his term, batting well for Sri Lanka, had he been allowed to continue for the remainder of his term. One must also not forget that as a Civil Servant, he was obliged to carry out the duties expected of him by the previous Government. It will be sad to see HC Samarasinghe leave prematurely and this will be a loss to our country and community.
