Which other app developers do we know? Please tag them so we can get a clearer picture.
When I logged back into X today, I was wow-ed, the dev community on X has really done the heavy lifting on this one. Here’s what’s come out so far:
1. MTCC Assistant GM Abdulla Farish and the owner of FixedMaldives are both registered at the same address, Daisymaage.
2. Farish handled the tender process… and is also leading the project from MTCC’s side.
3. On the FixedMaldives side, the project is led by a police officer, Ismail Hassan, who apparently goes by the name “ghost.”
4. MTCC’s MD is a former police officer too. Not only that, he and Ismail Hassan aren’t just ex-colleagues, they’re both from HA. Hoarafushi.
5. And of course, the app wasn’t even ready for launch. The website they rolled out last night is full of issues and data leaks, already exposed in detail by local devs. Great debut.
6. Yesterday, MTCC launched an internal investigation… to figure out who leaked the information.
7. Last night, after the ceremony, the “PO guy,” MD, and Ismail Hassan met at the Hulhumale ferry terminal to “handle the crisis.”
Not sure what your next move is or how this will be spun, but just a heads-up: payments for “Milestone 1 & 2” to FixedMaldives are already traceable.
Massive credit to @WhoIsFishie@raftalks@dash8x and everyone else who put in the work to uncover the leaks and issues.
At the end of the day, it’s our money, our taxi system, and our data. If the institutions meant to protect them won’t, then people stepping up like this is exactly what needs to happen.
Why tech innovations flounder in Maldives? Why developers cannot innovate and go beyond the borders?
#MaldivesTech needs to grow, in other countries they empower but in Maldives, they make it difficult.
Proud that Maldivians had this kind of vision a decade ago.
But it’s equally sad to realise that the barrier wasn’t lack of talent, it was our own system, our own decision makers.
And maybe even more uncomfortable that the system and the decision makers are a reflection of us.
A country’s progress depends on its decision-makers and those decision-makers come from its people. When they fail, we as citizens share that responsibility too… especially when we stay silent.
Thank you for sharing this @reallynattu

This is beyond horrifying.
New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5
That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.
Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.

Imagine investing $1.4 trillion into the U.S. economy and gifting Trump a $400 million luxury jet to get bombed by America’s regional attack dog three months later.
You literally allowed the fighter jets that attacked Qatar to fly right across your country. That's when they needed you.
All while you block the brave men of Yemen from being able to march to Gaza.
Israel literally just bombed Doha in Qatar to KILL THE ENTIRE TEAM NEGOTIATING THE CEASEFIRE.
It’s literally one of the safest and most peaceful cities on the planet.
Israel is the most dangerous and least accountable nation on Earth.
Qatar gave Trump a $400 million Boeing jet in May.
In return,Trump just approved Israeli airstrikes on their capital.
America has burned ALL credibility and authority in the Gulf, for Israel.
This won’t be forgotten.
