RISING DRUG ABUSE IN MALDIVES
2007-09-05 17:26:00 This article is extracted from AFP news.I wonder who is responsible for this. Is it the Gayoom regime? "dhivehsakah veethee fahuru veri veybaa"? Rising drug abuse among young in Maldives paradiseThe Maldives, known as a holiday haven for the rich and famous, is grappling with a growing drug abuse problem among its young people including pre-teens.Around 20 percent of the island nation's residents under the age of 15 are using banned substances, according to the National Narcotics Control Bureau.Bored and restless, youngsters, who comprise more than 40 percent of the population of 300,000, are increasingly turning to drugs, health workers say."It's a tragic social crisis," said Aminath Hamzoon, a trainee peer educator who works with youngsters trying to kick drug habits."The problem has escalated due to boredom, peer pressure, poor employment prospects and overcrowding on the islands," she said at this after-care peer support training camp on Vilingili Island close to the capital M...

WHY CHANGE : STORY OF THE EAGLE
2007-08-07 06:40:00 The eagle has the longest life-span of its' species. it can live up to 70 years. but to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision.In its 40's.Its? long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food, Its? long and sharp beak becomes bent, Its? old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its? chest and make it difficult to fly. Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its? nest.There the eagle knocks its? beak against a rock until it plucks it out. After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its? talons. When its? new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its? old-aged feathers. And after five months, the eagle takes its? famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30more years.Why is change needed?Many times, in order to survive we...

A SPEECH WORTH READING
2007-08-01 08:29:00 Why is the media here so negative?- Former Indian President Abdul Kalam(A recent speech by Abdul Kalam in Hyderabad)Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?We are the first in milk production.We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.We are the second largest producer of wheat.We are the second largest producer of rice.Look at Dr. Sudarshan, he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orch... More About: Reading , Worth , Speech , Wort

Though my article did not name them and was not the real target of the post, they happen to take it for themselves.

STORY PHOBIA AND CHILDREN
2007-06-10 15:01:00 With the progressive secularization brought about by modernization and by systematic attempts to destroy spiritual values, a vast majority of children live in a fear of many things they should not be.When we first started schooling and even before that we have been told of many stories. Some interesting ones you may find below; which creates unnecessary fear;Foolhudhiguhandi ? aimanabi meets this mythical figure showering him with sand using a skull near a mosque, hence the fear of mosque begins.Just think of how many stories u heard people saying that they have seen ghost and fire balls in that and this street where the mosques is. How many times do you here spooky stuff involving a mosque?Safaru kaidha ? this ghostly young women does abnormal thing in the gifili and takes away the children, hence the fear of gifili.Yeah, the stories you heard about a aiburi (the hand) or boaburi (the head) in the toilet, And the stories about people not going to toilet at night, Because of earlier...

SATANS IN MALDIVIAN BLOGOSPHERE
2007-06-08 14:14:00 There are satanic bloggers who have been insulting our religion using pejorative usernames and articles regarding ignorant people who follow our religion. These satans who glamorize filth and sin in there post are nothing but saboteurs of our religion. Having read those derogative commentary and impertinence toward islam shows how ignorant these satans are. The Maldivian blogosphere should not be a place to make a mockery out of religion and this type of outragous insults should not be welcomed here. These satans think it is there freedom to say what they want. The invective remarks and burlesque post should not be tolerated by any community. I call the MVblogs team to exterminate these filthy blogs from the Maldivian blogosphere and ban them for good, it wont take much time to notice who rights what- the username of these satans it self speaks.

HOPE FOR MALDIVES
2007-05-02 15:37:00 Maldives being one of the most exclusive and expensive resort island country in the world. If that?s the case why some people are complaining that they can?t put their hand and mouth together. How come people go to people asking for help to buy books and medicine? In a small country with a population of around 300000, and earning million why is it happening?Don?t show unjustifiable excusesMaybe because of the way the islands are situated is it is difficult to open a hospital or a high education school or factory and other basic need because of the cost factor. (Yes. I also believe that the government can?t open hospitals in each island. And true they have opened hospital in each atoll. But is it worth. Why are still people coming to male; for medicine? Lack of service I would say).Outsourcing the militaryI have hope for a day where families can go to a restaurant and have ice cream together at least ones a week. How can we make this possible?

TO THOSE WHO THINK OF THE NATION
2007-04-30 21:10:00 One of the main problems we face today is the congestion in the capital male?. Though the government doesn?t want to believe, it is because people come to the capital to give better education to their children, to attend their medical need and to earn a living. Why m I saying the government doesn?t believe is because if they believe they would have facilitated these conveniences to other atolls as well. Facilitating doesn?t mean providing a 2 storey building and a computer lab. It also means giving proper teacher doctors and good investment opportunities for business to create more jobs. If you analyze to minimize the congestion, traffic and reduce the rent rate and to spread the opportunities all over the Maldives there is only one thing the government can do. That is to create tax free zone. How do u make it. Simple. First divide the country into separate economic zones. And then state a free tax zone. Here I take example of South (the Addu region).

MDP CALLS FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
2007-04-29 15:17:00 The Maldivian Democratic Party is planning a national programme of civil disobedience to ?unravel the dictatorship,? according to Chairman Mohamed Nasheed (Anni).The call for civil disobedience raise question of whether these tactics would work. The disobedience could include strategies like information warfare, protest art, lobbying, tax resistance, boycotts, diplomatic wrestling, material sabotage, refusing to pay bills, principled refusal of awards/honours, picketing, vigiling, leafletting, and/or general strikes.As the famous non violent civil disobedience movement of Mahatma Gandhi (known as Satyagraha ) the main aim of the disobedience is to get arrested. But the question is how many are willing to get arrested. I can count a maximum of 200 people but will this be enough. If MDP is looking for a success they should first try to promote the protest to the people. Ask them and find out whether they are into it. Say a local fisherman getting arrested and being held in prison for ... More About: Calls , Call , Civil Disobedience , Civil , Obedience
PROSECUTING THE PROSECUTOR
2007-04-28 18:19:00 Phew. At last. Now that the body is being buried shall we hope everything will be ok? Not so soon. I was thinking about this thing and came up with this idea. Maybe not so bright but still.. Read on Would it be possible for the family of Salah to sue their lawyer Husnu Suood for professional negligence? The thing is that being in the arena of politics and having said that the government cannot be trusted why did Suood let the body to the government at first. And knowing that this regime would do anything to hide whatever it is why did Suood except the offer of the government. Did Suood mention about this to the family. And after all this they have lost the fight. And im saying because of Suood the family wasn?t even able to get a glimpse of their loved brother. Can he be taken to the court?Now thats one idea.. I got one more Do the burial and this entire thing mean that the police are trying to hide something? I?m not even sure a post mortem was carried out since he was taken to Lan...

ITS A DEAD BODY : LET IT REST IN PEACE
More articles from this author:2007-04-28 08:42:00 Crap. That?s what I can call the government tactic on Salah?s body. First they say that they will not do the post mortem, and then brings a guy to do it. After some pressure they take the body to Srilanka where the postmortem was done and an amazing report was issued. There after a new problem starts. Why can?t the government just leave the body to the family and do what they want with it. It would have been quit easy for all of us. If the government is not letting any person to see the body I doubt any post mortem have taken place. Maybe the pathologists were asked to write only the report, by playing the religion card. The government could have said to them that, ?in Islam it is not right to cut open dead bodies and the only way you can do the post mortem is by looking outside".Now that the body has been brought to Maldives I wont be least surprised if the high court issues an order to bury the body as soon as possible whether the family likes it or not.This also increases the sus...
