The MP has decided to sit for the O/L English paper again in order to upgrade his Simple Pass to a Credit Pass.

 “I have an S for English and in order to follow law, I need a C for English. Hence, today I came to sit for the English paper. I have got through all the other subjects. I am hopeful that I will be able to get a C this time around. That is enough for me to follow a course to become a lawyer. I have completed my A/L examinations and the results are expected to be released on December 26th.”

Ramanayake sat for the A/L examination in August this year.
