So now we’re asking the same questions face to face. One year after the vape ban and tobacco regulations.
What has actually changed?

My daughter's size nappy brand, imported by https://t.co/DFcWZT7riM has been out of stock for months, yet brown sugar, meth, hash oil, meow-meow, coke, MDMA & acid are restocked 24/7 in like they’re sponsored by loyalty points.
Kudos to every administration for this miraculous
Just received news @lujeinmv is a friend of Fenaka Saeed and he used to supply a lot of materials and services to Fenaka at inflated prices, facilitated by a PNC affiliated team at Fenaka procurement, fully supported by Saeed.
Wow.
I’ve requested the details now.
100% confirmed
Islamic Minister @Mohamedshaheem1’s son, @MahilShaheem has been stopped by @CustomsMv while attempting to smuggle 116 vape flavour pods concealed inside his luggage.

Maldives isn’t a poor country! but Maldivians are being kept poor.
In 2024, our national economy produced $6.98 billion USD in GDP. But only about 382,751 of us are actual Maldivian citizens, based on the official 2022 census. That means the economy is generating roughly $18,240 USD per Maldivian, which is more than MVR 280,000 a year, or over MVR 23,000 every single month per citizen.
That kind of money should be enough to guarantee every Maldivian access to free quality healthcare, housing, education, and a secure income.
But that’s not what’s happening. In reality, most citizens are earning far less. Wages are low. Rent is sky-high. Services are broken or underfunded.
Why? Because the system is bleeding from corruption.
Billions are lost every year to overpriced contracts, political deals, wasteful spending, and debts we didn’t ask for. Projects cost double what they should. Aid disappears into thin air. And public money is used more to serve the powerful than to uplift the people.
We don’t lack resources. The numbers prove it. What we lack is accountability and political will.
The economy is growing. But the benefits aren’t reaching the people. The math is clear. The silence is expensive.
