![Muthalib: Eagle Hills approached us with the proposal. Alabbar: When I first got the message that they [Maldives] were interested in talking to us about a special project, I jumped. But don’t be alarmed. This is hardly the first contradiction. Even the most basic detail, the project's investment value, has kept changing, with conflicting figures coming from different ministers and Alabbar himself. And you can expect more contradictions, shifting narratives and new justifications in the coming months. Why? Because this was never a properly planned development project. As I explained in my first article, this appears to have been a hastily arranged deal that, for reasons still unclear, those involved seem determined to push through. Perhaps those reasons have something to do with what Alabbar himself claimed to have given to “Brother Abdulla” several times. And as the public continues to question the deal, expect Brother Abdulla to keep coming up with new explanations, revised figures and fresh justifications. When a project is properly planned, the facts speak for themselves. When a deal is rushed, the story keeps changing.

MP Falah, we know very well how insurance works. You might fool a few people in your circle, but don’t mistake the majority of Maldivians, especially the younger generation, for fools. First, you tried to make it sound like ordinary Maldivians get Aasandha while MPs get some cheaper alternative. Nice try. MPs get Aasandha too. What you get ON TOP of that is what ordinary Maldivians don’t, an international insurance package covering 19+ countries across ASEAN, Europe and the Middle East including Singapore, Dubai and Turkey. Now, if you genuinely believe MPs insurance is cheaper than Aasandha, why not introduce a bill extending the exact same package to EVERY Maldivian? If lifetime international coverage of MVR 1.3 million annually is really the cheaper option, give us all the same deal! Same citizens. Same rights. Same insurance. #HealthcareEqualityMV #EndHealthcareDiscrimination #EqualHealthcareForAll

Thank you for bringing up MPs’ salaries in other countries. Guess what? Our next petition will be about YOUR salaries. We deliberately included examples from Singapore, Germany and the USA in our petition so you could learn that even countries far wealthier than the Maldives don't give MPs exclusive access to basic healthcare unavailable to ordinary citizens. It's called BASIC healthcare for a reason. Your job title should NEVER determine the healthcare you're entitled to. And no, “MidhuHam” will NEVER enter Parliament to whine about his salary and allowances or complain that people keep asking him for money. Why? Because “MidhuHam” will NEVER buy votes. If some of you bought your way into Parliament, that's YOUR problem. Why should taxpayers foot the bill for your political expenses? END THE SPECIAL HEALTHCARE PACKAGE FOR MPs! #HealthcareEqualityMV #EndHealthcareDiscrimination #EqualHealthcareForAll

I am honestly shocked after watching this. A minister going on national TV and sharing what was said on a victim support helpline… just a day after someone died by suicide? How can we as a country let this be the normal. It’s unprofessional and unethical. That was someone’s most vulnerable moment. Those conversations are supposed to be sacred, protected, private, safe. Instead, they were exposed live on TV. Not only does this violate her dignity, it puts out raw, triggering details that can deeply affect others who are already struggling. Additionally, if this is how confidential helplines are treated, how can anyone else feel safe enough to reach out for help? Government and ministers are not supposed to stoop to the level of social media gossip groups. Those at the top are meant to set the example, by holding themselves to the highest standards, always. That didn’t happen here. So I’m asking the media and everyone on social platforms: please take up that responsibility yourselves. Do not repeat what was said. Do not amplify or share her msgs. Protect what little dignity and trust remains.

The divers who came to retrieve the bodies of the Italian divers are among the most experienced cave divers in the world. Two of them were involved in the infamous Plura Cave Incident. Patrik Grönqvist survived the Plura tragedy and later refused to leave his friend’s body inside the cave system. He returned into the cave with a small group of fellow divers on an extremely dangerous recovery mission. One of the divers who joined him was Sami Paakkarinen and he was also part of the Maldives recovery mission. Google or YouTube search Plura Cave Incident for documentaries or watch the film “Diving into the unknown”

Let me have the honor of nominating my dear friend Ibrahim Shujau to sign this petition. Unlike many MPs, brother Shuja knows this subject well and spoke about it in detail during the parliamentary election campaign. I’d be very happy to see his signature on this. To sign:

Meet Salmaan, a 19-year-old who chose to spend his teenage years learning, exploring, and gaining real-life knowledge instead of scrolling endlessly online. He’s the first teenager I’ve met in the Maldives who isn’t on any social media platform at all. He wakes up early, goes diving, and spends his evenings fishing, catch and release only, he doesn’t even eat them. Was honestly surprised to meet someone his age living this differently. Currently doing his internship at Addu Suba Dive Maldives, a center that offers apprenticeship programs to youths. Contact: +9607255005 TikTok: Addu Scuba Dive Maldives Insta: @adduscubadive

When you're hitting 177km/h on a public road, the wind isn't the issue, it's the risk to your life and everyone else's. Speed thrills but on public roads, it also kills! Please, please ride smart and keep the thrill on the track, not where families drive. Maldives Police

With 200+ signatures more than required, and 37 days still remaining, I have now submitted the petition to the People’s Majlis on behalf of 2,307 people who signed it. Please remember: we had to rush and submit this petition after just five days of signing, despite having more than a month left, because PNC members were pushing to have these amendments passed into law the day after tomorrow. We should have had 37 more days. Instead, we had five. Thank you to every single person who signed, shared, and helped make this possible.

I asked Maldives Airports Company Ltd staff to contact Beijing Capital Airlines’ ground handler (Voyages Maldives). The airline staff could not come to assist but spoke over the phone. Their position was clear: They have no SOP to provide immediate assistance or even attend the case proactively from their side, all the burdens are on the passengers they are expected to: • Manage on their own ( note: most of our arrivals are tourists ) • Go home however they can • Buy a new suitcase if necessary • Submit a claim later with receipts and hope for reimbursement Now the serious Q: How is an airline allowed to operate at the main international airport of a top global tourist destination without internationally practiced minimum passenger assistance standards? Legal liability sits with the airline. But service standards inside the terminal fall under airport oversight. If MACL does not require airlines to follow defined passenger assistance standards, that is a regulatory gap that must be addressed. World class airport happens when airport operator require, establish and enforce world class standard and services

In the end one Maldives Airports Company Ltd staff personally helped me find a belt so I could strap the broken luggage. He did this out of goodwill, not because of any formal process. Individual kindness is appreciated. But systems should not depend on individual kindness. This isn’t about one suit case. This isn’t about one airline. This is about the over 1 BILLION USD we spent on this airport. This is about the first impression of Maldives. The job of Gov and MACL is not just to build terminals it is also to make this 1B airport experience world-class. We are a tourism depended country and for most tourists, the airport is their first experience of the Maldives. It sets the first impression. Everyone else on my flight was Chinese. Imagine if a tourist with language barriers faced this situation. Imagine struggling with broken luggage, no clear process, no guidance. What impression of the Maldives would that leave? A billion-dollar airport must have minimum, enforceable passenger assistance standards. World-class infrastructure means nothing without world-class systems and here we are talking about MINIMUM passenger assistance standards. If service standards are not clearly required and enforced, then the investment has not delivered what was promised, it ain’t helping our global top tourist destination brand and our tax money was wasted. cc Mohamed Firaq

Just managed to watch the video released yesterday, here is my observation: 04:50 Yumnu is seen walking up from the 9th floor to either the fanlight area or terrace ( At this time, Raudhu is on the 7th floor ) 04:51 About 50 seconds later, Raudhu walks up to where Yumnu is ( fanlight area or the terrace) 04:53 Raudhu is with Yumnu for about 1 minute and 50 seconds. He then descends and takes the elevator down. 05:05 After about 11 minutes, Raudhu returns to the 9th floor and begins searching for Yumnu. This suggests that Yumnu could have “fallen” during one of two possible time frames: 1. During the 1 minute and 50 seconds when Raudhu was with her. 2. During the 11-minute interval after Raudhu left and before he returned.

Update: it appears that while commoners were busy struggling to find essential medicines, PNC MPs have added UAE, Turkey and Oman to their insurance coverage. Unsurprisingly, MPs like IB believe their tax payer funded insurance has nothing to do with public.

Before yesterday, I attended one of the most ridiculous ICOM hearings I’ve seen so far. Summary: 2023: MDP finalized the “Dhaaimee List” for Fahi flats. 2024: PNC gov started reviewing it, some on 2023 list disqualified, some newly added, without ever publishing the updated list. I asked the ministry for a copy of the permanent list with the changes. The ministry refused to share the list and replied that the permanent list (Dhaaimee List) is still the 2023 list. So they admit they are changing 2023 list, yet insist the 2023 list is PERMANENT. They admit they have a list which they send to HDC for draw process, admit some people have already got flats and yet no list to show to public. What an exchange. Note: I don’t blame the officers from ministry who are forced to justify the unjustifiable because gov don’t want to share the list.

This vid has been going viral on Chinese social media, and as a Maldivian, I found it really interesting. He was the village head to a small village called Yongxing in Guizhou Province, a community of around 2,000 people, not very different from one of our islands. During his tenure, he focused on lifting people out of poverty, helping villagers build their own businesses, and stand on their own feet as a community. When his term ended and he was about to leave, the villagers literally broke down in tears, walking with him to see him off. It makes me wonder, will we ever see a day when an island council head or an MP serves their people so well that islanders and constituents cry, beg them to stay, and ask them to continue serving!?
