The world we once believed in will shine again in grace — Michael Jackson

[Maaniu. 🇲🇻 @yoosufmaaniu]

Majority of milionaires and resort owners make expat staff work endlessly & dont pay salaries for 6 to 12 months and ultimately cancel their visas and either deport them or set them loose in Male'. Their visas are usually acquired on some guesthouse or restaurant in Male' so the resorts dont have to pay them service charge. This is human trafficking Every government is complicit in this.
What immigration does is catch these people and deport them without checking if they have been paid what they are due.
So the real criminals are saved.

[Bar Council of the Maldives @MvBarCouncil]

Bar Council of Maldives expresses deep concern over the deterioration of press freedom, freedom of expression, and due process, and calls to uphold the rule of law and fundamental constitutional rights.

The guy was arrested over death threats to individuals on a website he managed during the Dec 23, 2011 rally, but the Criminal Court RELEASED him for lack of evidence.

More importantly, that was a criminal probe—not a court-ordered prison sentence for a journalistic article.

They should invent noise cancelling headphones that simultaneously aren’t noise cancelling at all, for autistic girls who get overstimulated by sound, but are also stuck in a state of hyper-vigilance and get scared when they can’t hear what’s going on around them.

"I hate protesters"

where do you think your clean water, 5 day work week, seat belts, child labor laws, and right to vote came from?

[fazail lutfi @fazaillutfi]

Ironic that @bankofmaldives went to Supreme Court to block RTI request arguing privacy protection and that it’s a private company and not a government entity.

I understand the foreign reserve crunch and shi but I'm genuinely impressed how BML treats their customers like we're the problem and gets away with it

[A. @Romazehari]

The divorce rate is so high because MEN still want to live like their fathers did, but women no longer have to suffer like their mothers did.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

WHAT MEN DON’T UNDERSTAND IS THIS:
Nobody cooks for her.
Nobody cleans for her.
Nobody makes her meals.
Nobody does her laundry.
Nobody checks to see if she’s okay.
And nobody caters to her, period.
A woman is ALWAYS expected to take care of everyone, but she’s human too.

[Dhauru @Dhaurunews]

Govt plans to amend the current RTI Act, even though it’s already considered one of the strongest in the region.

On the latest #EhbasveDhebasvamaa, Information Commissioner @aahidrasheed gets straight to the point: the legislation isn't failing us, what we need is the political will to enforce the one we have.

For me personally, beating Muizzu in the next election is not even interesting. By god's will that's the easy part.

What is actually important is arranging the best government the country has ever seen.

[teacup 🇵🇸 @teacup_mv]

Everyone's talking about our former presidents so let me give my unsolicited take on the subject:

Ameen Didi wrote the constitution in a way in which there would be no contest to his power and where only Male' citizens had any rights, DESPITE getting advice from foreign parties which had better democratic frameworks that he could've modeled our constitution after.

Ibrahim Nasir gave out most of our land to friends and family, and did little to change the constitution that was still severely undemocratic. Let's also not forget that he Massacred an entire population for revolting instead of taking a more civil approach.

Maumoon came to power using propaganda and political satire, and yet immediately iron gripped the spread of media within the country to make sure the same tactics couldn't be used against him. He also did little to fix the constitution and rigged votes so severely that he got nearly 100% votes for 30 years straight. Ontop of that, we saw the worst cases of authoritative military rule in our country's history with the NSS arresting and torturing anyone and everyone that even slightly bothered/stood against the now growing elite corrupt class.

Nasheed came into power on the backs of activists who sought real change from Maumoon's era. The 2008 constitution was a step forward in our history and yet Nasheed still couldn't betray his own class of the elites and unlawfully sold entire islands and land to his friends and family. He failed to prosecute the actual ruling class in Maldives at that time and he misused his power over the branches of government by unlawfully arresting a supreme court justice stepping over the parliaments decision. This set the precedent for the dwindling fracture of checks and balances in the country following his rule. Let's also not forget the political unrest that he failed to control because of his rash actions as well.

Yameen, while hailed as the president who brought the most development, did that on the backs of loans and debt that we've been paying for since. He held his position through pure authoritative control of government offices by bribing and threatening political appointees and by consolidating power within the executive branch. His rule also saw an extensive centralization effort, and the now common place trope of using large scale projects as money laundering and corruption schemes to feed the rich. Insert the MMPRC scandal here.

Ibu's presidency vowed to bring justice to those who looted the country during the previous presidency, and to focus the country's trajectory into decentralization. However, both of these were unachieved as he ended up pardoning the highest ranking members of government scandals. His decentralization work also only amounted to projects in islands managed through the central government instead of empowering local councils. He actually began the work of disempowering councils by moving many of their functions into the central government. Even though he's hailed as holding the front line during the COVID crisis, his government, whether he knew or not, used the opportunity to steal from everyday people, mainly by misusing funds given for ventilators which led to multiple deaths that are still to be properly investigated.

They gave out jobs. They gave handouts. They played every dirty trick in the book.

Yet the people have proven to be resilient. This is a win for the people.

Gives me hope that not everyone can be bought. Alhamdulilah.

[Ismail Shafiu @shaafiuismail]

Remote work will enable many families to live a dignified life where they can work from native islands with their spouses, kids and elderly parents. Life should be more than Male’ City and its reclaimed lands and flats for everyone.

Decentralized Maldives cannot be achieved without right to remote work policies in legal frameworks. 🤷‍♂️

[🍉 @kudhukanbili]

Most Maldivian offices don't have remote work policies even though most office work can be done on a laptop but you wanna give visas for some foreigners to do whatever tf they want? Alright.
