take that, you slimey reporters!
… When the state owned TV station alleged Nasheed’s government of leaning towards nepotism and failed system, with factual data to support the claim (believe me this is only the program that was unbiased since the last presidential election.) The president reciprocates reporter’s effort by launching an investigation on him for ‘invoking hatred’ towards… »
From Nepotism to Spoil System: President Nasheed’s policy shift
“Spoils system is a practice where a political party, after winning an election, gives government jobs to its voters as a reward for working toward victory, and as an incentive to keep working for the party—as opposed to a system of awarding offices on the basis of some measure of merit independent of political activity.”… »

Maldivians who refuse to become slaves of Wahhabis accused of being unbelievers deserving to be beheaded!
It wasn’t even hours before I published an anonymous woman’s letter on “Sheikh” Fareed’s upcoming public lecture titled ‘To Whom Hell Calls Forth?” when an article (now removed from this Muraasil link) appeared directly calling for my killing.
The anonymous writer on Muraasil’s blogging platform (for budding Dhivehi writers) calls him/herself ‘Jihad’ but seeing Osama bin… »
Government spending on tourism marketing comes under scrutiny
A tour operator has claimed that the government should not spend so much money marketing multi-million dollar resorts, particularly since it receives such limited revenue from the industry in return.
Ahmed Firaq, chairman of tour operator Inner Maldives, said the government should not be so much money on tourism advertisement marketing resorts as many had their… »
“Maumoon” and “torture” still go hand in hand?
Coincidence? Or plain irony? One of my friends today brought attention to this, and we found it extremely hilarious that in the Government Gazette dated today, the formation of The Maumoon Foundation and Torture Victims Association of Maldives appear together, and on Page 42 too – the Answer to the Ultimate Question! Here is a… »

What if Maumoon comes back to power tomorrow?
A liberal friend of mine asked me this yesterday and I posed this hypothetical question to another liberal friend, chipping in my own view that if it all finally came to that, I would have no choice but to dig a hole for myself.
The second friend said that we could dig each other holes… »
MDP & Anni above criticism?
Suddenly I have become an extremist…and suddenly I have also become a lost soul with no firm foundation because I committed the “crime” and “sin” of daring to criticise President Nasheed and the MDP Government.
Is it then a wonder that Maumoon Abdul Gayoom found it easy to establish a firm dictatorship with people like these… »
