Free & Fair Elections , is it possible?

the government says they will do whatever it is to make the 2008 elections free and fair. but a lot of people will ask is it possible?. some say it cannot be possible with the current government in place stating that the current president is a candidate in the elections and he will use his powers to make it favourable to him. a government who have been ruling for 30 years which according to some people ruled with and iron fist have tried to forge the elections before and there is no gurantee they will not do it again. and the solution people suggest is a transitional government with independant government.
the current government heavily disagrees saying that the current constitution dosent allow a transitional govenment and all the talk a transitional government to have a free and fair elections is just another way to make lies.

Dr Saeed VS Government

since the resignation of Dr Hassan Saeed he had been on the limelight for making comments on the governments failure on all fronts. and the government had been responding to each comment he has made. sometime you may think hassan saeed is viewed as a greater threat than all the political parties combined. the latest of the clashes have been recently due to changes proposed by the DRP to the chapter on the "President " to the the constitution been drafted. with hassan saeed accusing the government of a plot to block him from becoming the president. i wonder who will win in this continued clashes.

chapters of the constituoon passed so far

november 30th is the deadline that the majlis has set themselves to finish the constitution. before that we need to know what it would consist of. take a look at the passed chapters from http://www.haveeru.com.mv/pdf/majlis-progress2.html

Another Suicide

Another person of 28 years has committed suicide. it seems suicide has been very common in the maldives lately but it seems that any one in concerned over it. they say people commit suicide because they couldn't cope with situation and they see it as a last thing to get rid of the situation. isnt it time we set up a hotline where people can discuss there can talk to someone who could give advice to them . explain to them of how they could tackle the situation to solve the problem and let the young people know that suicide is not the best option available. maybe the religious scholars can explain to the people how suicide is viewed in the religion. someone needs to do something .

the race for presidency

the race for the presidency is on now. already president maumoon,Umar Naseer,Reeko Ibrahim Manik,Ibra,Hassan Saeed has said they will contest. Adhaalath Party has said they would Appoint someone who will participate after the constitution is passed and MDP has yet to Finalize of their Candidate.It would be an interesting election Year. probably all the candidates will use whatever they got to take the title. It would be the Acid Test for the current President who haven't been contested this fiercely in his almost 30 years as president. but it all depends on when and if the drafted constitution get passed before end of this year.

Finally Salary to be increased

why did religious extremism came to maldives?

after the recent bombing of sultan park and the standoff between security forces and religious extremist in himandhoo we ask ourself why did this come to maldives. some would say its due to the repression of the current government. some would say its the bi-product of too much freedom in maldives.
people who say its the result of repression say that because the government have had a heavy hand on everything prior to 2003. and when they started to loosen the grip people started to distrust what the government said and more beleived the religious scholars who said anything against the government regardless of whether its true or nt.
people who say its due to too much freedom says that its because of the freedom some scholars started to eleborate some religious issues that are debatable and went with it.
some others would say its because of the government's neglegiance to educate the people about religious issues.according to them its only recently that the state TV started broadcasting how to pray. and they say the government body to educate the people about the religion "supreme council for islamic affairs " had been promoting government propegenda for so long people lost trust in it hence loosing trust of almost all religious scholars who had any view similar to that of the govenment stance on it and people went for scholars who have contradictory version of religious issues
which ever the reason the government and the religious scholars need to tackle the issue before another incident happens.

Himandhoo terrorost hive?

Why did they do it? and who are they?

a lot of suspects have been arrested in connection with bombing of the sultan park but we havent heard about the reason why we did it. they say the people in custody have confessed to doing it and they have told why they did it but the police still says they can't publisize why they did it yet. they say they can't say yet if and whether the bombing is connected to any organisation yet. but according to news reports all the people arrested do have long beards and are beleived to be following strict islamic fanatic beliefs. and last night they raided a place where a grouop of muslim fanatic uses as a mosques and according to the news report the police took a some IED's. the police havent confirmed this.
why did maldivians want to blow up places?. and why should they target the industry we are so musch depended upoun?. it cannot be linked to any islamic belief cause islam stickly forbids harming others for no reason. and just because they have beards and turbans they cannot be linked to muslims cause islam is not represented by something you wear or how long your beard is.so whatever their beleif is and for what ever reason they did they could be best described as psychos who needs serious psycological help. hmmm
