Since a massive load of
data is involved in this effort, it is observed that the accurate search across the internet is somewhat of a complicated task.Though 65 private names are registered under Sri Lanka, some of them are Hong Kong nationals. In the same way it could be found that some names of Sri Lankans have been included in lists of other countries. As most companies in this country have made use of the name 'Lanka', when searching in that context it was found that the well-known 'Company of Lanka Bell' had made her investment by employing the country of Singapore in that connection. In addition to that, it has been possible to detect that an investor had utilised the name of Hong Kong while another investor had used Australia as the country under the name 'Carbon Positive Sri Lanka Land'. When browsing the common name of 'Perera' a person named 'Anura Leslie Perera with two accounts in UAE and the country of Cyprus has been detected while accounts of 'C. Dananjani Perera' and 'Sanjaya Viraj Perera' was found where the country could not be traced.
