1/ Private investment of $800m into into the Maldives' first SEZ sustainable township, Project Ayla, by UAE-based BluRock is directly linked to Henley's golden visa programme to be launched in the upcoming weeks.
Minister @em_saeed at the groundbreaking ceremony of Project Ayla:
"In parallel with these initiatives, the government is working with Henley and Partners on the Maldives' Pearl Residency Program. Our residency by investment framework much like the pearl on a string that program connects large-scale investment and development with long-term residency supporting projects such as ISA and reinforcing our position as a stable and premium destination for global capital and talent"
Project Ayla will be 100% foreign owned.

"Look at Libya — it’s an example right next to us.
They lived in peace, right? They lived in peace. The water was free.
There were so many free things. When people got married, they already had social benefits.
But today, Libyans are looking for water everywhere… Look at the misery there is. Hundreds of thousands of children have died.
That’s ‘democracy.’
Wherever they want to install democracy in the world, it ends in disaster. May God save us from this ‘democracy.’"
There is a money laundering scheme involving Maldivian gov and a few Sri Lankan businesses. The gov’s optical shop operations are also managed by a Sri Lankan company.
$18 million (288 million MVR) to @qasimibrahim as Kaadedhoo settlement.
631 million MVR to RCC (@nazim7878 and @a_usham) for council buildings without a bidding.
Total: 919 million MVR (almost a billion)
All in the last 30 days.
Tell one reason why we shouldn’t protest to stop these payments. This are cancer patients without treatment, student begging for loan disbursement etc.
Maldivians need to learn to go to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 on their own on tourist visa for Umrah.
You don’t need an Umrah visa. You don’t need an agent.
Get a tourist visa. Fly there. Do Umrah. Explore the country. Take pictures. Eat good food.
Yes, it’s 100% legal.
Don’t let agents scam you. You don’t need them.
Can adding this to constitution help Maldives?
“President is personally liable for ignoring credible corruption reports via official channels; fined MVR 1M/day, jailed up to 5 years after term ends. Penalty is final, not challengeable. Officials blocking enforcement of this clause face double penalty. Parliament cannot remove this clause from constitution, only a referendum with 80% saying yes can remove this clause”
Maldivian’s A330 began flights to 3 Chinese cities on 6Jan 2025. Assuming Jan 1–May 31 (21 weeks):
✈️ 6 flights/week × 21 weeks = 126 flights
👥 280 passengers/flight × 126 = 35,280 max capacity
Yet the airline claims 40,000 passengers flown?
I’ve heard some flights were cancelled and many operated with low passenger loads. Even at full capacity, the math doesn’t add up. Let’s stick to facts — not fiction. #Aviation @mohamedfiraq@MaldivianAero@ameen3d@MMuizzu
BML accepted that his job being an office cleaner earning USD3000.00 a month, meanwhile interrogates me each time I try to deposit some cash. Living lawfully in this country is hard.🥲
