"A man for all seasons, he is immune to drilling, rigging and grilling!"

Midas touch turns everything into Gold; Fowzie’s touch turns everything into Black Gold.

Don’t give in to trade union ‘yakos’; you must fight back.

Hon. Minister A. H. M. Fowzie specializes in three things: Hedging, pledging and dodging.

Minister Fowzie is playing with fuel and fire.

CPC strikes are like oil; they keep surfacing.

Minister Fowzie is oily, he can slip out of any situation.

Minister roars and promises to break the back of the Gas Mafia but LAUGFS has the last laugh.

Minister Fowzie proposes and Shell disposes.

He is a very clever man; he outsources his work to President Rajapaksa and washes his hands off any issue.

The minister and unions have put us from the frying pan to fire.

What’s the latest about investigations into Asantha de Mel’s hedging deal, Mr. Minister?

Eels are as slippery as Minister Fowzie.
