4 all lawyers. Can a foreign commercial entity gang up & use our NGO Act to lobby national policy. This is about national sovereignty.

Revise #Minimumwage

Nurses and teachers: the backbone of the nation, apparently.

Backbone allowance: not yet approved.

Meanwhile a state minister’s spine comes with a car, a driver and a phone allowance.

One could argue they carry heavy responsibilities so it is what it is. #maldives

Many don't know this but our Bangla bro expat community is running a full parallel system of their own.

No integration with our community.

They shop from their shops.
They live in their own hotels
They eat in their own restaurants
They ride their own private taxis.
They have their own hawala banking system and currency exchanges.

Tell me in which country is this possible for expats?

An intervention is urgently required for the purpose of maintaining democracy in Maldives. Although the framework of what is called democracy now baffles me. It appears to condone all types of illicit behavior. It seems more like a mafia.

The current Parliament has a 26yr old as its youngest MP and over half of MPs are under 45. Yet here we are.

The problem isn’t age. It’s integrity. You can be 25 and just as corrupt, incompetent and politically compromised as someone who is 65.

[Muthu އަތް ބަޅު،ކޮރު،ބޯގޯސް (މުއްތު) ♿🍉 @Muavviyath]

People are not really celebrating a crashed Lamborghini. They are reacting to what it represents.

You can see the gap everywhere. In Addu, people still deal with electricity problems, limited opportunities, young people feeling like they have to leave just to build a life, while somewhere else wealth is displayed at a level most people cannot even imagine reaching.

That kind of inequality builds resentment. Not just economic resentment, but a sense that society is unfairly arranged and nobody is listening. And on top of that, we are living through so much uncertainty that people are scared of what they don’t understand.

I know what that looks like because sometimes I am the unknown. Disability is still unfamiliar to a lot of people. Difference makes people uncomfortable. That is why I was not surprised when people bullied Special Olympics athletes either, even while content creators reacted as if we had somehow become the worst society on earth overnight.

When people feel powerless to change the system, and they do not know how to process fear, envy, anger or humiliation, those emotions get redirected at symbols, individuals, minorities, disabled people, migrants, whoever is easiest to target.

That does not make cruelty acceptable. But if we only condemn the reaction and never ask what produced it, we learn nothing.

People are frustrated, economically squeezed, emotionally ill-equipped and constantly shown lifestyles completely detached from their reality. And sometimes we treat religion like a plaster over all of that, as if telling people to have more faith should somehow fix inequality, anger, humiliation or hopelessness. It becomes even harder to hear when the same people preaching morality can break those standards themselves, face little consequence, and then blame everyone else for lacking faith.

Religion can give people meaning and grounding, but it cannot be used to avoid talking about the conditions people are actually living through. The Lamborghini is just one visible symbol of a much bigger social fracture.
