why is muizzu admin prioritizing dredging rasmale over giraavaru?
just 1 southern zone of rasmale is more than large enuf to begin a township
why spend so much credit to dredge a giant desert without the cash to actually build infra/housing for it pataslaafa in the first place
Welcome to The Arsenal, Andria! 👊

Last night's incident at China Maldives Friendship Bridge was a near miss.
Engineers from Second Harbour Engineering Company (SHEC), the builder of the bridge, carried out inspections last night and again this morning. Alhamdhulillah, there is no structural damage, only surface scratches. These will be repaired by SHEC using suitable and adequate standard methodology, under the monitoring, inspection and maintenance arrangement we have in place with them, provided through Chinese grant aid.
A vessel out of control near Malé can affect two bridges, Velana International Airport and other critical infrastructure, a disaster that could affect the life of the whole capital. That is why response must begin before, not after. The Government has been proactive in building this capacity. MPL is already in the process of acquiring two new powerful tugs capable of taking hold of a drifting vessel before it reaches the bridges, with delivery expected within 2 months. We will further review port anchorage arrangements and develop clear emergency communication and response procedures with the Coast Guard and other relevant authorities.

So you are saying the budget allocated from our tax money to @PoliceMv isn’t enough to keep the safe and sound??
When @maumoonagayoom managed the entire Male’ city with just 4 avashu offices with few laborers at least the city looked cleaner and calmer.
-People who make MVR 60k (USD 3k) are poor, especially if they pay rent & have a large family to support
-People who make below MVR 60k (USD 50k) live in poverty
-Majlis members make MVR 100k (USD 50k) get additional MVR 100k (USD 50k) for health insurance
How to add these up?
Today is my last working day as Information Commissioner. The term officially ends Saturday. Spending the day as another ordinary day: signing off on outstanding decisions and closing cases.
Grateful to the @ICO_Maldives team & to every person who used the RTI Act during my term

Cut journalists off, get visibly irritated when asked anything remotely critical, refuse to answer, and then turn it into a performance about disrespect. Someone regulate his emotions for him.
When the Government wanted to force the tourism industry to exchange 20% of its USD, these were some of the promises:
1. All SOEs would get the USD they need.
2. Every traveller would get USD 1,000 from the BML airport counter by the beginning of 2026.
3. Card limits would increase to USD 1,400.
4. TT demand would be catered for within 6 months.
Here we are at the end of August 2026. The tourism industry has been giving the Government its 20%, while the market rate for USD is around MVR 23, higher it was before taking 20%
I’ll leave it to each of you to decide how many of those promises were actually delivered.
Now the Government wants 40% of tourism USD, with a new set of promises and pledges.
I firmly believe that if Rufiyaa spending and wastage were brought under control, and our USD properly managed, even the 20% exchange requirement we already have could have achieved things we previously thought impossible.
But taking more USD without fixing how it is managed solves very little.
If we manage 40% the same way we managed 20%, the Government may get the dollars it wants for its projects ( projects that too often enrich those around political power ) while ordinary Maldivians will once again be left asking: Where did all those dollars go, and what did we actually get in return?
It’s not what you get but how you manage that matters
