Recipient of Sri Lanka's highest civilian honour, Deshmanya, Dr Lalith Kotelawala has set up the Ceylinco Sarana Fund which helps the poor.
Business with philanthropy

By Vinita Bharadwaj, Staff Writer


Sri Lanka's Dr Lalith Kotelawala's business card is actually six cards printed on either side with five folds, listing all the companies that are part of his company, Ceylinco Consolidated.

As a Sinhala Christian, Kotelawala is part of a minority group, but as the head of 256 companies that employ more than 30,000 people, he is also acknowledged as one of the country's leading business personalities.

He reveals for the first time how he entered a Tamil Tiger's home, was welcomed, and how he believes that the chances for peace in the nation have never been better.

Kotelawala's uncle was the third prime minister of Sri Lanka and his father fought for economic freedom, so he is not new to serving his country.

He is the recipient of Sri Lanka's highest civilian honour, Deshmanya, and has also set up the Ceylinco Sarana Fund, which helps the poor.

As a result, the businessman has in recent years, become better known for his philanthropic efforts.

On a short trip to Dubai, Kotelawala talked exclusively to Weekend Review on a range of topics, from his tsunami relief efforts and corporate social responsibility, to peace on the island nation and poor people's right to credit.

Is it true that you have an unofficial mandate that requires all Ceylinco employees to set aside money for charity?
Each employee is encouraged to contribute to the fund. It is purely voluntary and the directive is recommended depending on the salary scale. The higher up you go, the more you give. Today, the Ceylinco Sarana Fund has Rs128 million. It has been decentralised and we give the money to the 400 branches and every month Rs10 million is distributed. The money is given out to areas other than Colombo as we don't want to restrict charity to the urban poor, but focus on the rural poor.

Does the money go to the northern and eastern parts as well?
Yes, it does.

Has charity always figured in Ceylinco's business plan?
In 1996, the LTTE exploded a bomb in the Central Bank and I was there. Both my eyes were seriously damaged and it was only after many operations that I regained sight in one eye. When I was convalescing, Mohammad Yunus [2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner] gave me a book about Grameen Bank and access to credit. I was moved by it and invited him to be the chairman of Ceylinco Grameen. Today, 300,000 women are members. A large number has risen above the poverty line and we have given out more than Rs1 billion in loans.

What kind of interest rates does Grameen charge?
Well [pauses], it is high. It is about 20 per cent per year. But when you compare it to what the poor are paying to the loan sharks, it is a blessing from heaven. The loan sharks charge them almost 10 per cent per day. Grameen gives $50 to the poorest of the poor to start with, and they have the opportunity to get a shop-house in 20 years that takes care of their workspace and housing problem in one shot. Finally, where Grameen succeeds is that it provides access to credit to the poor that they would have never been able to get from other agencies.

Do you think Mohammad Yunus should have won the Nobel for Economics as opposed to the Peace Prize?
Well, I don't know about that. I just know that he should be recognised, which he was and that's all that matters [laughs].

Did Ceylinco's charity work have to shift its focus a great deal after the 2004 tsunami hit Sri Lanka?
At the time, we were the leading insurance company in Colombo. I saw that insurance companies across the country - including mine - were turning away people and said that they can't pay because the tsunami was an act of God and was therefore not covered.

I felt horrible and it just didn't feel right to say no. So, on the spur of the moment, I just said 'we have to pay'. My staff was horrified and said it would cost us billions. But so many people had lost so much. They had nothing left. The Sri Lankan people trusted a Sri Lankan company and when they needed us I said we cannot desert them.

So we paid up and I personally led it. We went from town to town - even the North and the East. I went to the Tamil Tigers and was invited into their homes. I've never told this to anyone but I was allowed, or I should say, welcomed into their homes. We sat. We talked. And they were delighted to know that we cared.

Is it true that the Sri Lankan government has set aside a 100-metre buffer zone that forbids the fishing folk from rebuilding their homes and settling within that radius, but has given that land to larger hotels?
[Nods] Yes, it is true. I have objected strongly to that rule, but there is no change in the law. Most of the Grameen women are fishing folk. We rebuilt their homes even though the government took over the land and gave it to large hotels. But we rebuilt some of the homes.

So you broke the law?
Yes, we did. But I'm not afraid of that when it is for a good cause.

Most would say that it doesn't help to have a conscience in business ...
That's true. And I believed that too until the bomb blast in 1996. It made me realise we all have a purpose in life and this is all the more true of people blessed with money. I have been given a lot of money, but I can't take it with me when I die.

Today, I have many homes, bungalows and holiday homes. Some I haven't even seen. I have almost 20 cars, but I can only drive one at a time. I can afford to eat the best food at the best hotels, but I am a diabetic. So I cannot. Money is a tool that can be used to improve lives and I believe that those with money must use it to help others help themselves. It can really help alleviate poverty.

Do you think the world has become more materialistic over the years?
[Nods] Yes. Definitely. Especially after this whole globalisation thing.

You're not a fan of globalisation?
I am against it. I don't believe in inviting foreign giants. I prefer the micro alternative of small businesses and encouraging these instead of allowing larger outfits taking the country over and benefiting people who are not even in the country.

They would argue that they provide jobs and an infrastructure ...
Jobs for how many? A few thousand? We are a completely home-grown company and employ 32,000 people. I think other countries should encourage us by opening up their markets further and allow developing economies such as ours to work towards self-sufficiency.

What are the chances for peace in Sri Lanka?
I think this memorandum of understanding between the two parties - the president and the leader of the opposition - is very good. It is a coming together of 80 per cent of the voters, the people of Sri Lanka. I also believe that there should be a change in the attitude of the LTTE leadership.

If you ask the Tamils living under them if they want democracy or the militia, they will choose democracy. The LTTE leadership has to join the democratic process and must have the vision to do so.

When I visited the regions after the tsunami, I learnt that the people were fed up with the war. They wanted freedom for their children to go to school in peace, without the fear of conscription into the cadres. The tsunami tragedy was a perfect opportunity for the government to talk peace. I was appalled at the way the aid was handled. The world responded with great compassion but the government, under Chandrika Kumaratunga, would not give it to the LTTE. We could have clinched peace at that time, especially because the north-east was the worst off.

Does the LTTE, in your opinion, have the vision that you talk about? Are they ready to relinquish the control they wield over their people?
They should not be afraid to do that. In all fairness, the LTTE has been pushed into doing it. They have done great service to their people and you can't brand them as pure terrorists as they are genuine freedom fighters. They must realise that the best opportunity to work things out is through a system of self-governance. That is the structure that needs to be discussed.

The current policy of the government is a hit-back policy and that is an Israeli policy. I don't think it's right. Mahatma Gandhi said that the eye-for-an-eye, a-tooth-for-a-tooth policy makes the world blind and toothless. And it will only keep escalating.

We can't ask them to disarm in order to sit down and talk while we hold onto our arms. Things must be left as they are and we must talk about devolution, federal state or autonomy.

Is it possible for ethnic groups that have been divided by war to live peacefully in the future - assuming a political solution is found?
I think it is possible to do so. Looking at Ceylinco, since 1973, we have followed a policy of not checking for the ethnicity of any employees. We don't have a religion or ethnicity box in the application form. It is a pure meritocracy and I don't know how many Tamils, Sinhalas, Buddhists, Muslims or Christians we have. When you start counting, you have a problem.

You are from a minority community but head the largest holding company in Sri Lanka. Is that a problem at times?
Of course. I've been attacked many times. I think that some Sinhalas follow a militant form of Buddhism when they put their religion above everything else.

No war can be holy. In which religion does God tell you to kill or maim your fellow human beings? So, yes, I do get attacked by racist Buddhists as I'm accused of converting Sri Lankans.

How do you respond to the allegations of conversion?
We don't have any religious affiliation. At Grameen, we don't care what religion the members are from or who benefits from the charity funds. We are only concerned about alleviating poverty.

[trojanhors2008]

A Philanthropist, one of the richest man in the Country, and a patriot of the country, Saviour of the nation! But very few people know he is a wolf covered with a goat skin.
This is to reveal himself, who he is, to the people who do not know the truth. The two incidences explain his indecency, and ungrateful attitude to the poor people.
Me, the writer of this article has been played out by so called “DESHAMANYA” in two different times. I am the Real Estate Broker who promote the selling of property “Ruskin Island at Bolgoda Lake, Moratuwa. One fine day I met “DESHAMANYA” at his office at Fort (in front of Hotel Continental) 3rd floor after a greatest difficulty and waiting in the list for one full month. And I submit the necessary site plan of “Ruskin Island” and other relevant details to consider of purchase. And we had a nice chat and he was kind enough to receive me in his office for a period of 15 minutes. One month after he sent me a letter saying that he has consulted in Managers and this island is suitable for a Hotel Project and therefore he is not interested in purchasing this property, which price has marked as one million Dollars (Equal to Rs 50 Million according to the foreign exchange rate at that time)

After some times I heard the “Ruskin Island” has been sold and I made my investigation and found Our “DESHAMANYA” has bought for Rs.25 Million from the seller. Normally it is not in practice in Sri Lanka to provide a whole list of customers who have been introduces any property. Specially someone issue a letter and mentioned that he is not interested and we would not submit his name or an identity to the owners of the respective property. Knowing all the factors I wrote a letter to So called “DESHAMANYA” and pleaded to looking to this matter and asked him to compensate my legitimate commission 3% which I could not claim from the seller’s due to the hidden transaction initiated by “DESHAMANY “ and the seller.

Now “so called “DESHAMANYA” should have inform me in time since I was the respective introducer to claim the commission which he never did it. When I inform him, his inability of informing me that I have to incurred a loss of Rs.750,000.00 and emphasize the his negligence of ethics of business, he sent me a reply saying that he has conclude the transaction with the sellers directly and since my name has not come up during the transaction and discussions he could not do any thing and he denied to pay anything or stated that he has finished the transaction and nothing can be done for this. Normally when his company buy a property they pay 1% of the total value. He didn’t let me receive my legitimate commission from the seller or even 1% which his company pays once they buy a property. And he was not kind enough to identify my efforts of selling the property and he left me on the lurch by transacting secretly. When I demand money his Attorney has send me a threatening letter saying that they will go to the law of court against me if I bother “DESHAMANYA” any more.

That is how he conducts real estate business with brokers.

Second incident was a Court Case.

I was working with a friend of mine called Mr. Adhikari from Athurugiriya and one of my clients wanted a property in a water front location around Cololmbo. One day there was an advertisement in the news paper and state a availability of property facing “Uyanwaththa Lake” @ Kotalawala Piliyandala. I spoke to the advertiser (The Finance Co., Ltd) and found the location went there and discussed about the terms & conditions. They promised us and to pay 3% of the total sale value and we offered My client Mr.Ishara Nanayakkara and he liked the place and wanted to purchase. The Company gave me a promising letter to pay 3% and I introduced Mr.Nanayakkara as purchaser. After that negotiations were going on and all over suddenly the transaction concluded secretly and sold it for Rs. 21 Million and neglected to pay our commission and we went to courts. And it took three and half years to get a verdict and we won the case and Company had to pay 3% commission , Interest for 3 ½ years, Court charges and Attorney’s charges respectively in District Court. NOW YOU WILL REALIZE WHO IS SO CALLED DESHAMANYA AND HIS CONGLOMERATE AND HOW THEY MINTING MONEY BY DEFAULTING POOR PEOPLE. THIS IS ONLY TWO INCIDENTS AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS DEFAULTS WHICH HAS NOT COME FORWARD AND MOST OF VICTIMS KEEP IT UNDISCLOSED! INVAIN POOR PEOPLE!!

R u think the Falling of Golden Key were reason for falling Ceylinco, if some one think like that its day dream, other thing I want to say there are no any disaster in Seylan Bank there are only problem in Golden Key,

Don't forget Ceylinco Consolidated have over 200 Companies, Those Companies Deposites force large amount of Sri Lankan Economy. If we conciderd only Our Company(Ceylinco Life), Our Life fund exceed over 20Billion in this year.

Important thing is we deposite all those funds in Sri Lanka not in Other country, so any one thing or any one get Happy or will hope Fallen about Ceylinco, It's cause real disaster for Sri Lankan Economy and all one have to suffer

So you broke the law?
Yes, we did. But I'm not afraid of that when it is for a good cause.

If you ask the Tamils living under them if they want democracy or the militia, they will choose democracy. The LTTE leadership has to join the democratic process and must have the vision to do so.

Does the LTTE, in your opinion, have the vision that you talk about? Are they ready to relinquish the control they wield over their people?
They should not be afraid to do that. In all fairness, the LTTE has been pushed into doing it. They have done great service to their people and you can't brand them as pure terrorists as they are genuine freedom fighters. They must realise that the best opportunity to work things out is through a system of self-governance. That is the structure that needs to be discussed.

The current policy of the government is a hit-back policy and that is an Israeli policy. I don't think it's right. Mahatma Gandhi said that the eye-for-an-eye, a-tooth-for-a-tooth policy makes the world blind and toothless. And it will only keep escalating.

We can't ask them to disarm in order to sit down and talk while we hold onto our arms. Things must be left as they are and we must talk about devolution, federal state or autonomy.

I think that some Sinhalas follow a militant form of Buddhism when they put their religion above everything else.

No war can be holy. In which religion does God tell you to kill or maim your fellow human beings? So, yes, I do get attacked by racist Buddhists as I'm accused of converting Sri Lankans.
