Anchor has used English, Sinhalese and Chinese languages to describe its product, omitting the use of national language Tamil.
According to the statistics released by the Chinese Embassy, there are over 6000 Chinese workers in Colombo, working for various Chinese-funded projects.
According to the 2012 census there were 2,270,924 Sri Lankan Tamils in Sri Lanka, 11.21% of the population. Many expressed surprise that Anchor, a product owned by the Fonterra group, has omitted Tamil and decided to include Chinese.
