Raj Rajaratnam was frequently accused of funding Tamil Tiger terrorists.It was not an issue for Anglican dominated St. Thomas College, Mt Lavinia. Still certain part of the tail of political power wags to the tune of Anglican Church, and therefore, Thomians were still proud and promoted Raj Rajaratnam as their product.
The WIKI page of Raj Rajaratnam used to display and link St. Thomas College, Mt Lavinia as his Alma Mata for years. This was further confirmed by Raj Rajaratnam being included in their prestigious past pupils, in school Alumni’s WIKI pages of St Thomas College, Mt Lavinia.
Raj Rajaratnam is the founder of Galleon Group. He was born in Sri Lanka and attended one of the most prestigious schools on the Island named St Thomas' College, Mt. Lavinia, then studied engineering at the University of Sussex in England. Rajaratnam moved to the United States in 1981 and earned an M.B.A. from Wharton two years later.

But it all changed when the crook was arrested by FBI as the main suspect of the largest hedge fund case ever prosecuted in USA. Until the crook is arrested or found guilty, the Western Anglican culture never looks at the ethics of person’s earnings. That’s what they preach and practice since colonial era.
Now, once Raj Rajaratnam is legally caught, the St. Thomians are busy clearing their image. They have quickly modified the WIKI page of Raj Rajaratnam to link to S. Thomas' Preparatory School, Kollupitiya. Still, Raj Rajaratnam is listed in WIKI page of Alumni of St Thomas College, Mt Lavinia, and they might drop the name from it too pretty soon.
Raj Rajaratnam is the founder of Galleon Group. He was born in Sri Lanka and attended S Thomas' Preparatory School, Kollupitiya,then moved to England to complete his schooling, and studied engineering at the University of Sussex in England. Rajaratnam earned an M.B.A. from Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1983. He is married with three children.

Can St Thomas College, Mt Lavinia hands off producing one of the top crooks of the world by mere manipulating cyber resources? Why can’t you be still proud that you have broken the record by your brother school Royal College which earlier produced Sri Lanka’s top crook Lalith Kotalawala!!!

Great investigative journalism..... There are plenty of reporters and news mongers in the net,,, But Lanka Rising is always special..... Keep up the good work dudes...
good thing that WIKI preserve history :-)
Hay we need a clarification. Is this crook indeed from St Thomas college Mt Lavinia or from St Thomas Kollupitiya? Can any one put light to clarify.... According to WIKI of Alumni of St Thomas Mt Lavinia, he is their guy...
FYI, your sinhala Buddhist patriotic president also sent his children to St thomas college. Maybe it is time for you to investigate about how money is raised for 'tharunyata hetak' and how the anglican culture of st thomas college influenced the corruption. lol.
Dear Liberal,
You are right,,, we should keep close look at Namal and the clans bcs donno what the same anglican fathers who taught to Rajaratnam taught to Namal and brothers.... I hope personality of their father is far superior than those teachers @ St. Thomas.
Family and school culture played big role in shaping the character of person. For some both are bad and for some one make more influential than the other.

Dear "investigative journalist," please check your facts before trying to tarnish the reputation of any school. If you look at the reference cited for S. Thomas' Prep, you can see that it is a quotation from his profile on first guardian equities, not something done hastily.
What makes you think that he was from STC Mount, just because someone had said so on wikipedia? Are you an idiot to believe everything that wikipedia says? Why don't you click on the source attributed to such things (that little number on the top, if you are blind) and see for yourself where the info came from?
As an old Thomian, I suggest you write in an apology on this page, as well as contact both schools and see which one he is from.
Thank you.
Good work mate. I can see that Wiki page has now corrected again. But following part has been drop now,
"one of the most prestigious schools on the Island"
They no longer boast of school :-)
If Raj Rajaratnam is not from St. Thomas Mt. Lavinia why does Wiki page of Alumni of St. Thomas Mt.Lavinia listed him in the number one slot in top enterprenuers section? Why do they now remove him?
Again the poor logic by some readers of this blog - just because some clueless idiot added him to the alumni page because he doesn't know the difference between Prep and College, or thinks that STC is the only school capable of producing anyone of any worth, do you need to believe them?
It was taken off because it was incorrect information. Once again, please refer to Rajaratnam's profile in First Guardian, LMD, Bloomberg, etc., without talking out of your fat ass.
Nishantha Muthuhettigama,,,,, the latest clown from Royal college... :-)
Ranil, Mangala, Ravi, Lakshman, Hakeem, Nishantha, Dilan,,,, They all have one thing in common and thats they love West and hate Sri Lankan culture. They are the product of post colonial anglican education culture of Rayal (and Thomian).
Top business culprits:
Rajaratnma - St Thomas
Kotalawala - Royal
Sakwithi - D.S Senanayaka (which was established by JR to supplement Royal-Thomian culture)
Not all traitors are from Raoyal-Thomian culture, but we should seriously analyse why most of the traitors are from Royal-Thomian culture, and in the military victory, there were hardly and Royal-Thomian playing considerable role !!!! Its all Anananda culture who get wins to the country. Royal thomians are mere to manage post colonial multi national countries so that colonial countries can try and exploit our people for some more time. Certainly the power of Rayal_thomians are on the decline and and new national power is strongly getting established. Exposing crooks is very important in the process....
Do a google search for "raj rajaratnam thomas". Bulk of the sites says he is from St Thomas Mt Lavinia. This can not be a simple mistake. Either Rajaratnam of St.Thomas Mt Lavinia or both have cheated to get mutual benifit. I found hime refering to St Thomas college Mt Lavinia even older articles. Semms no one cares to correct those at that time (hay days)

Karana kalata paw mihiriya mee see... Widina kalata......
dear haters!!
please do not show ur ignorance and pin every bad thing to one of the most prestigious schools of our country. so if raj rajaratnam was from stc.. do url even know what skl sakwithi is from just.. this is what u call typical sri lankan primitive thinking.. if u look at the products of st thomas' college, royal college, trinity college you will understand that this county would be no where if not for there generous contribution to our society.. so they have a few cons produced. but do you know that 40% of all government school kids in there mid 20's are arrested for some fault.. stop pointing fingers and accept the fact that raj rajaratnam is a product of mother sri lanka and we all to share the disrepute he has brought our country.. if your'll feel like pointing fingers perhaps. your ll should stop boasting abt the freedome we achieved from the british 50 years ago.. cause if not for the great men produced from stc, royal, and trinity we would still be under the rule of the british.. so think a lil before url start pointing fingers..
Dear Jealous anadians,nalandians whats ever ians...you buggers have a big match copying us,we've never come to your levels and have any comparisons with any of our cultures and traditions.you mind your blady business and keep your sight on the bribe taking principls and hooligans you have produced in the world.We Thomians ,Royalist and Trinitians rule the corporate world in sri Lanka.
We know what has happend to the Leader who won the war who is an anadian,no Sri Lankan is a supporter nor gives a damn about him anymore (a blady Traitor and a Coward who surrendered himself for a cheap green card).
Namal is Our future leader.
Raj Rajaratnam is still a legend and he is no Crook.you buggers dont even know what insider trading is,who doesnt do that ?? the entire Sri Lanka Stock exchange is manipulated and everyone knows that.
( Expect for Anandians and who ever)
We are proud of Raj and we will always be with our Thomians no matter who says what.

well said prasanna. well said.
If Royalists thomians and trinitians didnt fight for the dignity and independence of this country sri lanka wont even exists.
Those Anandians Nalandians and Indians have forgot one of founders of their school is a royalist.
Rajarathnam is not a criminal. he showed the world what are sri lankan made of.
Insider trading happens every where. he just had bad luck to get caught with it. I'm proud tha he is a sri lankan and hope he will be cleared soon
