The year 2009 will be the Year of Triumph over Terrorism. Next year we will rid the country of brutal terrorism, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa speaking at a function held at the Presidential Secretariat on December 23 to confer State honours on veteran cinema actress Malani Fonseka who recently won the Golden Peacock Award for the Best Actress at the 99th Indian International Film Festival held in Goa, India.
It was her performance in the film Akasha Kusum which won her the award.
The President also said this film will be screened next year.He added that we could consider artistes who won international awards through the portrayal of Sri Lankan identities as valuable to us than those who earn such awards by bringing disrepute to the motherland.
