Malaysia wants to become a regional hub for AI & data centres. A data centre can use up to 25.5 million tonnes of water annually. This amount can support 300,000 people every single day.
Nothing can replace our freshwater ecosystems once they are destroyed & drained.
@LamiaMedda@Socrate34020624@bompresso01 this is the original link. the creator also tagged the person he is referring to in the video https://t.co/BKZE53Kd7U
@oopsrrrr its very misleading to share that video with the image of the deceased tourist when its not the same person. yes there is misinformation shared by foreign media but it doesnt help to try combat it with more misinformation. 🤷🏽♀️
@amanhaleemmv not the same cave. there wont be much light at the depth of 50+ m. the video is in better quality since its at a much shallower depth with more light, at a well known recreation dive site fotteyo kandu.
MVR 570 million. That’s what we spent on Bayraktar combat drones in 2024.
A professional deep-sea rescue ROV rated to over 600 meters, with sonar and a recovery arm, costs around $100,000. Some less.
Five people are dead in a 60-meter cave in Vaavu Atoll. We flew in Italian experts just to locate the bodies.
With that same budget we could have equipped every atoll in this country with underwater rescue capability and still had money left over.
So when does a country stop buying weapons to feel powerful and start buying tools to actually protect people?
@pfirnett509@mamboitaliano__ it was a vessel owned and operated not by maldivians, with no maldivian dive guides on board. this dive appears to be planned and executed by the group of italian divers. the dive was also unlawful, max depth for recreational diving in maldives is 30m
Why the fuck does a sex scandal get more traction in this country than a mismanaged case of suicide, the torture of prisoners, the death of a prisoner due to negligence, and the many other horrendous horrendous atrocities taken up by this government.
you hate binveriyaa scheme because it's a kuree sarukaaru project. i hate binveriyaa scheme because any sort of land ownership in 2026 just leads to further growth of the inequality gap in this country. we're not the same.
The true cost of Rasmale is the opportunity cost of developing the other cities in Maldives. This will cause further centralization and misery, and erosion of Dhivehi identity.
Imagine if the government were willing to spend 10 billion (cost of reclamation without establishment of infrastructure and services) on developing the cities? For reference, only 2.1 billion was allocated to ALL 200 councils in 2025.
