It’s important to note that the Finnish team located the bodies of the 4 Italian tourists trapped inside the underwater cave on their first attempt. That’s why everyone is asking, why risk the life of our soldiers when they didn’t have the technical knowledge or equipment.
Experienced cave divers are on their way to retrieve the bodies but they risked the lives of MNDF soldiers trained to do 50 m dives in bad weather, for what? A PR opportunity??
Critics warn that the Maldives’ new media regulatory bill could stifle press freedom and online speech, a claim the government rejects.

Dear Maldivians, is this what we really deserve?
While inflation is already high, yesterday they passed a bill restricting freedom of speech. And today, the PNC parliament leader bought land worth 28 million rufiyaa.
He isn’t even a big businessman.
Truly a dark for democracy.
The Majlis committee has passed the draconian media control bill, despite public outcry. The bill is set to regulate social media and media with huge fines.
They did this on democracy day!
