Wasted Effort on Independance!!!

the Brits left us on 26th July 1965 but have we had independence since then? After the reign of presidents like Nasir, Ameen and the lot who sure gave us such independence that the people even got out dragged and banished and lead to the death of one president.
Then in 1978 the people of Maldives elected the Religious leader from Azhar University, AL UZthaz Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom. The savior of a nation who fast paced to expose the previous president Nasir like a thief and a dictator. He rallied young school children onto the streets and had public vocalizing of his own feelings via his followers. Well all Maldivians sighed in relief that such an evil president was "banished to Singapore to be one of the richest men there" and that they had the new leader and president and spiritual guide, Gayyoom!!! [by the way if you type "Gayyoom" and right click in word..alternative words for it include Doomsday hehehe]
That sure turned out a sour apple now didn't it? One of the very few Maldivians to own a gun and actually held it when he took the presidential oath in fear of retaliation from someone! Well that fear seem to have persisted and increased over time.
Anyway back to the topic...i don't feel very much liberated as i don't think Independence refers to the Brits leaving us but rather to freedom of the people from enemies within and foreign!
We are trapped in a cage of lies and deceit and people have lost faith in our dear leader. All his work and effort lost...in vain...maybe we should just let him go to Singapore too and be richer than Nasir..that should show off the ex Thief of a president, Nasir!!!
Long Live the People of Maldives and their Independence...Lets fight for it and not let dictators make decisions for us...not waste any more time..save our future and save our country!!! ISthiufaa ....

System of Government? Do we care? Will it make a difference?

Well the hype of the day is the system of government ..or is it? The two leading political parties MDP and DRP seem to be head on about promoting their preferred system of government. I mean they since the beloved "people elected" Parliamentarians decided to hold the referendum on the 18th of August 2007 the people of Maldives still seem to be as ignorant as ever on the two systems.
I mean does it matter what system we have in the end the members of parliament will the businessmen who give the most to the people...the good really patriotic and genuine people will never make it into the Majilis.
The political parties with leadership that seems to be solely based on gaining power will never be true to the people. Misleading the people by claiming that there is no life for the people of Maldives unless we go along with the system that they are promoting. isn't that what we already are experiencing? A government telling us how to live and giving us rights that they decide we should have? We are not given a choice or chance to think by ourselves.
the civil society of Maldives needs to strengthen sooner than the rate it is going at right now!!
They will be the last line of defense for the people when another dictatorial regime comes to power!
I personally have no faith in the political parties that exist int he Maldives. I wouldn't want to be a politician but i am human and Maldivian hence i care!! I try to understand what these people are trying to do as they are playing with our future and our country. this is our Maldives...not MDP not DRP or Kolieeegey!!!
My point is right now MDP is not giving people a choice rather telling them that their side is better!! when your good you don't have to prove it...people will know!!
The only reason anyone should support the system MDP is supporting is to just say "NO" to the system proposed by Gayyooms party, DRP.
I simply don't care right now which system it is...Id rather see a stronger civil society!!!
Hey but i am not saying don't go and vote!! We have to vote!! It is our right!! It is not about getting into politics but it is in fact the opposite! Lets decide on our own rather than letting a self centered power crazed political party decide our future!! GO out and learn about the systems as it is our future these guys are playing chess [rather Russian Roulette] with!!!

Moral, Humanitarian, Civil Society and peoples victory by Zahyna Rasheed

At last the trial of Zahyna Rasheed the unlawfully and un ethically fired employee of the UNDP funded project of Ministry of Atoll Development has reached a verdict.
The Honorable judge displayed virtue and fairness by providing equal opportunities to the Ministry to defend itself and Zahyna to prosecute them.
On claims by a handful of [politically motivated now we can say] individuals in the ministry of Atolls Development zahyna was fired on accusations that she supported MDP in its call for people to gather on the 6th of November 2006 to rally for speedy reform on constitution.
While she was there she had proper identification from the Maldives Police service and was with the Detainee Network which has legal rights under the current constitution and Min. of Home affairs she was still accused of being part of the rally by two ministry staff who claim they did see her there supporting MDP.
Well the judge thought otherwise...so i guess that means the staff from the ministry of Atolls development lied and now should publicly apologize to the Zahyna and the government to all the other such politically motivated workplace rights violations in and through our history.
ZAhyna winning the claims of financial retribution for the rest of her 6 month TOR with the ministry [she had already completed 3 months of it when she was fired] this is more a moral and human rights and civil societal victory.
I guess now we have to thank his excellency president Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom for it can be said it is under his reform agenda that new reform on rights and justice are brought about. So i guess under that same agenda the Ministry of Atolls development including the minister who signed the letter that asked zahyna to stay home should be held accountable.
SO lets call the Ministry and the people who testified to the courts and prosecute them now shall we?
People did int believe Zahyna will make history and win her case and the first ever case in Maldivian history and a lot of people looked down on her as if she was the one making trouble. Well shame on them!!!
Either the ministry should be held responsible or the Judge and our judicial system is flawed. Hence either way our systems are not perfect!!! There also is another second case of suing the government of Maldives going on right now!!! please update yourselves as these are issues that we all face.
Workers have rights!!!

Does Time On Break Refresh Your Mind?

its been so long since i have written here...i find myself kind of uneasy or rather slow for the flow to begin...but i guess a break away from you attachments in life gives you a much clearer picture when you come back...things which didn't make sense or that i took for granted seem to be viewed at a different level now! Everything is new again! Wonders of the human mind.
Well i think a break has been great for me i got new ideas floating and new topics to talk about...assuming even if one person reads what i write that makes my day! :-)
SO maybe all it takes at times to see the solution to an existing problem is to take a break and step away from the problem and then come back and see it in a different angle...
I need a break from life's routines now...Holiday somewhere i guess...The music show and office work and life itself had been bit too much for the past month...or more...and like friends keep telling me "i am spreading myself too thin"..i NEED A BIG HOLIDAY !!
