1. It will be nice if one day, without prior notice, President Nasheed visits the fish market in the afternoon. He meets the fishermen who are there. Chats with them regarding any ideas that they may have, which could improve their vocation and trade. Nasheed could encourage the fishermen and vendors to work hard and tell them some promising news about any policy changes that could help the fisheries sector.
2. It would also be nice if one day, without prior notice, President Nasheed visits the local market and chats to the vendors who sell locally produced agricultural and fisheries goods at the local market. The President could tell them about the government’s plans in the construction of the new building for the local market. Nasheed could encourage the farmers and vendors to work hard and tell them some promising news about any policy changes that could help the agricultural sector. Media (television, radio, newspapers, etc.) could be invited for both these visits. It will be a nice PR exercise as well as good encouragement for the fishermen and farmers.
3. It would be a pleasant surprise if President Nasheed visits a cramped household in Male and meet the residents of the house – and explain to them that his government is working on improving the housing conditions and tell them more about the 25,000 houses that the Chinese government has promised to build in the country. Media would be given an opportunity, during this visit, to question the President regarding his housing policy and the media could also question the residents of the house. The Housing Minister could accompany the President during this visit.
4. A government delegation, including the President and the Defense Minister and the Home Minister could visit the Dhoonidhoo jail. Media would be invited too. A small ceremony would be held. At this ceremony, the President would announce that all political prisoners, including (Sagaru) Luthfee and (Sagaru) Nasir, would be given a presidential pardon. It will also be announced that from that very moment the Dhoonidhoo jail would be closed and that the island would be used as a resort for locals. Due to its history as a jail for political prisoners and dissidents, Dhoonidhoo jail has been a notorious torture chamber over the past decades. By closing the jail and freeing the remaining political prisoners, President Nasheed would be opening a new era of unity and trust.
5. It would also be nice if President Nasheed visits the drug-rehabilitation centre at Himmafushi, unannounced, and meet the patients and staff there. He could chat with the patients and encourage them. He could tell the staff about the government’s new policies on drugs and rehabilitation.
6. It would also be nice if President Nasheed would arrive at the Hulhumale Ferry Terminal, unannounced, take a ferry dhoni to Hulhumale, visit the Hulhumale Development Unit and some of the selected households there and chat to the residents. He could chat to the people about the housing policies of the new government and also about the transport network that the government is trying to build between the islands.
7. The same (as in point six above) could be done for VilliMale. The President and his delegation could visit VilliMale (by a VilliMale Ferry Dhoni) unannounced and the media would be given the opportunity to cover the visit.
Do you think its that easy to visit like that.
ReplyDeleteIt would also be nice if Nasheed just fire Qasim, Hassan Saeed and Shaheed and all rest of the crooks who was in previous regime. Wouldnt it?
Great idea for the president to visit the local market and the fish market and the rehab and villimale and hulhumale, etc. It's about time that he visits Addu Atoll too. If he doesn't visit Addu by the end of teh Eid holidays he may as well stay away from our atoll. We endorsed him by the highest percentage and where is the gratitude mr. president?
ReplyDeleteWe need quick answers about laying tar on the roads of our islands and about utility services such as desalinated water and sewerage and the airtaxi base in Gan and a golf course in Gan and the yacht mariner in Addu Atoll and so on.
Please ask your transport minsiter to do something about the mounting numbers of accidnets on the Link Raod in Addu!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang! What we need is stronger policies than these publicity stunts. I guess it would be a much better idea to form an independent economic forum both with foreign and local expertise . Their studies regarding the industry/ housing etc could be published on a quarterly manner so that government can streamline the policies as required, by allocating funds, finding veture capitalists or investment firms to finance for these special projects.
ReplyDeleteCurrently we don't manufacture or assemble on an industrial scale, this is one of the weakness that should be over come. We may have a booming Tourism industry, but subsidiary industries that goes synonymous Tourism like Handicraft or fruit/veg growers is almost non existent to cater to the Tourism Industry.
Hi MR. Busry. Dont try to be a president of Maldives. any way president might have a such a plan in his mind.but dont try to take credit from it.
ReplyDeleteAnd we want the relevant Ministries and other forums like Tourism promotion board, Construction Industry forums, Trade forums etc to publish monthly forecasts and indexes comparatively, so that the public and the business community is aware of the economic condition of the country.
ReplyDeleteYEa this would definitely be a Golhaabo style publicity stunt to make news on everyday TVM 8pm news. And We dont like that!!!
ReplyDeleteThe land that occupied the Local Market could be attache Presidential Palace. This will be a good investment for future as we would have a Presidential Palace with enough land area to provide for the necessities of the President and his family.
ReplyDeleteMr. Nasheed u hv an open invitation to visit Addoo Atoll now, but if u come after Eid hols u r not welcome then. If u dont come before the end of tyhe eid hols and if u try to come later than that we will make sure that u r chased away from our shores. Come b4 itz too late mr. prsdnt!
ReplyDeleteMr. Nasheed u hv an open invitation to visit Addoo Atoll now, but if u come after Eid hols u r not welcome then. If u dont come before the end of tyhe eid hols and if u try to come later than that we will make sure that u r chased away from our shores. Come b4 itz too late mr. prsdnt!
ReplyDeleteReagrding the "Anonymous" Cooment at "22/11/08 15:50", it is perhaps worth noting that Mr. Amin Faisal who was a swon NSS Official at the time of the coup, took part in the coup. He is now free (and more importantly he is now our DEfence Minsiter). Mr. Shahid who was similarly an NSS Officer, who took part in the coup also has been freed now. He is expected to be the Addu Ato9ll Chief soon. Same can be said about Karo Abbas. He is also free now. So why should we punsih Sagarey and Luthfee for life if we are willing to pardon NSS officers who betrayed the state? Just a point to ponder. I think it's time that we freed Sagarey and Luthfee.
ReplyDeleteTo Any Mice who said that this will be a "Golhaabo style publicity stunt!", I have to say that I disagree. Yeah, true that Golhabo did this style of stuff but Nasheed should do this not just as a PR stunt but as an opportunity to get close to the people. If done with a sincere and big heart, this could be productive for the countrya dn thepeople and for the government too.
ReplyDeleteawsome idea but not very practical kz theb previus guy also did pull stunts like dat n did lotta promoises n nothing hapened... so mr nasheed president u better stay in ur ofiz n try to strenthen ur policies n make them work rather than geting publicity... so far the staf u did n r doing ok but not upto the expectation.. one mo thing addu pple plz chill addu is not the only atoll in maldiv n u guys r not the only ones voted 4 the change.. i kno y pple hate u guys o dislike kz addu pple think they r the only pple living in maldivs dat matters...
ReplyDeleteLOL...Bushry, Are we going to see another Umar-Bin-Khattab?
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if President would fire this small man Mr Shaheed and his gang out
addu pplz suxz bigtime anni aa laigen helegenna or something like that puleez
ReplyDeleteThis "feeling nice" ideas promotes self beneficial behavior. Then again if it felt "nice" to be eaten by sharks we'd all be dead.
ReplyDelete(Sagaru) Luthfee and (Sagaru) Nasir political prisoners?? do you really believe they must be let free after all the killings they engineered?
ReplyDeleteSentenced to life means 25 Years in Prison. Yep they should be freed if they have served the 25 year sentence.
ReplyDeletebuddy mice u really believe u are very smart huh? kekekekeke i think rather u are just a little guy (like this shaheed guy) with a big mouth. can u pls keep it shut. the comments make no sense. did u know ppl just need the basics from this new president before such things as yr forums and email chain letters and all this other nonsense u sprout out. pls shut it. for a better maldives atleast. i'll tell u y all yr smart ideaz will not work. maldivians are a lazy bunch who talk big and act small. just like u.
ReplyDeleteshall we, with your permission, ask the president to appoint mr bushry to the post of his political mentor given these wise ideas? we have no doubt the president will go into public to listen to their worries once he has resolved all the immediate issues concerning the change of government. opposeanni group
ReplyDeletenot gud with math either ic. the coup happened in 1988 - that makes it only 20 yrs very recently. kekeke what a nutter. hehehehe.
ReplyDeleteHey guys don't attck Anony-Muice. her ideas are worth consideration. Try to squeeze some respect for even small mice.
ReplyDeleteWho was that nutter-anonymous who attached addu people? Goa round all the professions and you will find that addu people elad in all professions. Be it taxi drivers, resort waiters, room boys, resort managers, shop owners, etc...even political activists and even political leaders. So don't open your trap to utter things that u don't know anything about.
ReplyDeleteHey oppose Anni Dude & the Anonymous guy, what so wrong have a blog the promotes free flow of ideas. If you guys cant live with that or cant digest the idea that someone actually is talking out loud and clearly expressing himself, then dude stay away from civilization and people. And instead of commenting about what others say, why don't you give some real inputs and reactivate your own lazy brain.

Bushry,
ReplyDeleteDont try to divert attention from real issues.
REMEMBER: 300 MILLION DOLLARS IN 10-15 DAYS AFTER ANNI SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT. 10 DAYS HAVE ALREADY PASSED, IF HE DOES NOT ANNOUNCE (WITH CREDIBLE EVIDENCE) THAT HE HAS THE 300 MILLION DOLLARS, WE WILL BE ALL OVER HIM, AND YOU AS WELL...YOU ARE TRYING TO COVER HIM EH?
WHO ARE ALL THESE UNDERSECRETARIES AND UNDER UNDER SECRETARIES ROAMING AROUND IN PRESIDENTS OFFICE, OFCOURSE WE ARE NOT SEEIGN UNCLE, AUNTS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, FRIENDS
REMEMBER: 300 MILLION DOLLARS IN 10-15 DAYS
ReplyDeletethis money is supposed to be generated by cutting government spending.
its not a cash gift from someone.
some people just dont listen to part of whats said!!
So @22/11/08 18:43 what will u be doing with ur share of the money ;)
ReplyDeleteI Support that idea. But, from all your recent posts, looks like that you want to be ahead of HEP Nasheed in every move he makes. Looks like you want to be seen like the person who gave the idea and then HEP Nasheed did it. Pls Bushry, don't behave like a little kid.
ReplyDeleteHE WOULD NOT DO ALL THESE THINGS>..
ReplyDeleteGENTLE MAN N LADIES! DREAM ON>>>hehehe..nice game played... dream on..welcome to aNNI dhiveraaje..kissing qasims butt,,
Bushry..please update on this..
ReplyDeleteplease read a mail a friend have sent it to me
"TEAM met with the minister of Tourism on thursday by invitation from him. We discussed about the law and the refusal from the resorts to obey the law. The minister tried to convince us that it is very diffcult for the resorts to follow the law because it involves finance and blah blah. Basically he was talking as if he is the chosen one to protect the rights of the resort owners. We were not happy at all with the out come of the meeting because he tried to give us many excuses why the resort owners cannot obey the Employment Act.
We asked for his help to enforce the law and he told us that it is not within his legal authority to do so under the new constitution. He refused to help us! Please call him and demand to help us enforce the law! Every phone call counts.
We are not sold out to the new government! If we have to protest outside Hilaaleege, we will do so. Because Anni told that the new consitution is protest constitution! We will do whatever is necessary to get our rights. Please also call the special envoy of President, Zaki to demand to help us, because he promised us that he will give full labour rights in an MDP government. He made this promise on Live TV on 27th October 2008 during our endorsement of MDP coalition."
----------------------------------
I know ull much updated of this..
please raise ur voice..help fellow workers at Tourism industry..
Both foreign & local companies related are influencing on this..

Hey @22/11/08 21:15. Gasim's butt is feeding a lot of ppl in this country, so its no problem if the president kisses his butt a litle.
ReplyDeletecome on bushry, ANNI will find very difficult to leave the comfort of his office to go and visit the places you mentioned.that phase of his life is in the past now.I doubt if he will give up AARAH and eventually he will be forced to move in to THEEMUGE as well.All the Xcess baggage he has around him will find it very difficult to live a posh life unless ANNI start wearing designer suits and go on shopping trips to Singapore.spend weekends at the resorts own by the crooks.
ReplyDeletedicktator has left all of us in a loose/loose situation..
when nasir took over as the president of maldives, he made sure kilegefaanu was able to lead a normal and safe life in maldives. nasir forbade people from reverting to thier old ways of making life for the 'negunu katheeb' a living hell by singing songs and mistreating him. i think nasheed has learnt a lot from our nasir. if maumoon was a royal pain in the collective ass/es anni does not have to imitate maumoon's ungodly acts. just give nasheed a chance. he will prove to the maldivians that he is the one to bring true democracy to the maldives. we, i fear have been in the well for so long that some of us just don't see the bigger picture.
ReplyDeleteNO CLEMENCY OR PARDON FOR THE PRIME ARCHITECTS OF NOVEMBER 3RD ATTACKS. period.
ReplyDeleteThe fate of ANY who spill DHIVEHI BLOOD, will be a merciful condemnation to our dungeons for Life.
These ppl talking about the excess baggage r the real maumoonist. The ppl who voted Anni is aware of this ihthihaadh, so no complain there. These maumoonist are still tryin to divide nd rule but we r no fools...
ReplyDeleteREMEMBER: 300 MILLION DOLLARS IN 10-15 DAYS AFTER ANNI SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT. 10 DAYS HAVE ALREADY PASSED, IF HE DOES NOT ANNOUNCE (WITH CREDIBLE EVIDENCE) THAT HE HAS THE 300 MILLION DOLLARS, WE WILL BE ALL OVER HIM, AND YOU AS WELL...YOU ARE TRYING TO COVER HIM EH?

people don't need PR stunts like these. they r expecting solid outcomes.
ReplyDeletemma "10-15" = -5 so the money had been received 5days b4 he was sworn in. I think its with the ex-President
ReplyDeleteBetter to lock the President and his Cabinet in the Presidents Office for 3 straight months until they come up with a plan to solve all the problems that the country is facing.
ReplyDelete3months or 3years solving ALL the problems in a country is not practical. Can neva be achieved. Is jus a dream. Jus a figure of speech.
ReplyDeleteSagaru) Luthfee and (Sagaru) Nasir are technically part of Tamil foreign invation thus prisoners of war. They are charged with the highest degree of treason to National security. so fuck them and fuck Amin faisal too.
ReplyDeleteWas Amin faisal trialed in court??
ReplyDeleteAmin Faisal is now rehabilitated brought into the society. He is a success story. People make mistakes even if it coming to take over your own home country. But they have to be forgiven.. Look the turn around. He is our defence minister now. Isn't it ironic too?
ReplyDeleteYou can get arrested and thrown in to jail for an indefinite time period for slandering the defense minister Amin Faisal
ReplyDeleteThe way we are going now, Sagaru Nasir or Luthfy can become our next president.. who knows. This is aneh dhiveraajje.
ReplyDeleteOne noticeable change after Anni came to power is the popularity of Bushry's blog. At the same time Anni's popularity is no longer going up.
ReplyDeleteIf a proper correlation is done and if the results are extrapolated for the coming 2 years, there could be interesting results.
So far there has been backtracking on some pledges, such as Aarah, Ganduvaru, 300 Million, small government etc..
But we have not heard anything about election after 2 years. In any-case, this is a minor promise which may even be unconstitutional. Even if President Anni wants to have an elections, the constitution may not allow it as previously argued by Maumoon.
The 'high' we all had from dumping a brutal dictator as well as the great expectations of are fading fast. When the dictator was there, we were united by anger and frustration at him and his corrupt family. But at least we had unity.
ReplyDeleteWe still have our anger but there is no enemy to hate.
President Anni should create a new enemy (good scapegoat) fast or find a way to get the anger out of the people by keeping to his promises - which of-course is hard.
Who would be the most likely scapegoat? Guess.
Balaa eh nun. 25,000 tent ey e ee! ge yeh nooney!
ReplyDeleteAnni sux.n nasir sux too.maumoon sux as well.
ReplyDeleteBefore the visit to the fish-market, why not put the house in order.
ReplyDeletemass murderer vellanaage naasiru and anni (human right activist now the president )in love, using the state media and state money giving faulse information about naasiru, to make zaki happy, this is bullshit
ReplyDeleteBushry, should Anni go to fish market on a bike like Pindeys.
ReplyDeletefor thirty long years no maldivian have even ever seen this crap called nasir. why should we spend our money to burry this crap mass mass murderer latin kalhube .. if maumoon is golhaboa this naasiru 1000 golhaaboa (naasiru meehun maran thinadhoo ah boat ga gos huree.. anni sux ) and remember maumoon dhuvahakuves meehunan naasiru haa ihaanethi koh nuhadhaa) alhugandu kaafa maaalee naasiru
ReplyDeletebushry please tell us about this nasir without being one sided, like any other person if i was there for 15 to 19 years in power i wud have done something for my country, so thats just nothing nasir's family should be happy that maldivians gave him a CHANCE TO BE OUR PRESIDENT NOT THAT WE HAPPY THAT HE WAS A RUTHLESS DIC TATOR .. WHAT'S THAT DO SAPPE DOING NOW THE SAME AS DRP CROOKS PRASING THE LORD NASIR
ReplyDeletebefore going to fish market ANNI should take one more look at the audit report.recover the Millions of dollars stolen by the ex ministers and the the gang. its a shame those guys are still in the parliment or in various govt boards..
ReplyDeletedont think you can neglect this by taking time..we want those millions or by selling their resorts or properties.
25000 ge ey? dhen ma hee hee
ReplyDeletege eh nooney tent thakekey
Hey Maumoonists... why dont you guys give Anni a chance, it hasent been one month yet since he became the president.
ReplyDeleteYou have lived for 30 years under Gayooms rule, watched your sons grow up to become drug addicts and seen how your dads were dragged into jail and beaten up.
So hold on to your breath a little longer, give Anni a chance. he will be ten thousand times better than Gayoom
Bush while you are busy doing all the writings, why dont you give some insight to the opposition. Point some potential leaders within the opposition circle.
ReplyDeleteKutti Nasheed has mentioned the need of internal democracy with in his party and the change of leadership. Ex Tourism Minister Dr Mausoom is already on campaigning for MP. There definitely will be good people to lead the DRP, i guess currently they are so quiet caz their going through some major changes/transition in its leadership hierarchy.
anony mice...Gayoom was no different in his first few years. he became a changed person when he started enjoying the absolute power..
ReplyDeletewe dont want same fate to our hero ANNI...
@ Get a life
ReplyDeleteWhy are you so Angry?
cos he think he is the only one living a life..
ReplyDeleteIn the name of democracy they have ridiculed the trust given by ordinary people.Give him 30yrs and we will see worse.Luk at the way they claimed presidential seats n all those appointments.Nothing will chnage for ordinary folks except business tycoons and street fighters who helped him get there.
ReplyDeleteYea Furahani Shuaib is a not qualified for that post, I thought he was mentally ill person. Anyway that job was given as a political favor or to make him hush up on criticism.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how these political favors are repaid in other matured democracies. Is it the same was or some other other way?
Actually this repayment of these political favors is a early sign of weakness in Annis policies.
ReplyDeleteBecause strong political ties discourage global financing, corporate transparency is less
likely to improve in countries where political connections dominate economic activity.
"anony mice...Gayoom was no different in his first few years"
ReplyDeleteNow i think there is one major difference to start with. Maumoon was sworn in with a gun in his pocket (or where ever). Why the Gun? Maibe-cos.. Let me be the president or Bang!! Bang!!
Bushry. Im sure u wudnt want 23/11/08 08:35 in ur blog. O du u allow pornography in ur blog??
ReplyDeleteNow that bushree has mentioned it,anni clown will be visiting soon
ReplyDeleteu guys r showing ur unprofessionalism from thru ur comments. mind ur keys guys n have patience to see the changes. don expect changes overnight. u all had waited 30yrs n y not wait for at least 2yrs. b practical. its easy talkin than doin.
ReplyDeleten regardin Bushry bn the advisor to the president o watever, i've heard a few sayin that bappa bushry wanted son bushry to b in anni's cabinet, bappa bushry's hatred is multiplyin now coz son bushry is not among the ministers. i dunno. ppl suspected so from the way he talked wen he was in addu recently. how true cud it b!!!!!
Allow me to make a small comment on "Cherub"! It's true that my father (like many other MDP Supporters) were unhappy about certain appointments in the first few days of the enw government, but that does not mean that any of us were agaisnt the government or the enw president. Even if the vote were held again tomorrow, we will still vote for Nasheed. So don't confuse criticism with animosity. People criticise their own children or their own family also.
ReplyDeleteAs for my father being critical because he wanted me to be offered some position in the government, well I think that's a twisting of the truth. As I said before, he did criticise but not for the above reason.
But I have to admit that he (like any father) would have wished that I was offered soem post (he he)...But I have news for him (my father) and Cherub and any other doubters!
Even if I was offerd a cabinet or any other post in the new government I would not have accepted it. And even if I'm offered such a post even now, I will not accept. Be it ministerial or ambassodorial or whatever. I'm simply not interested.
Some people confuse my interest in political-thought with p[olitical ambitions.
Some may now think that I'm planning to run for Majlis! Even that is off the mark. I have no such plans and I do not want a government post.
If Nasheed or any other Muslim is willing to give me something then ther's something that I will accept from them. Say a prayer for me. Insha Allah, Allah will accept that prayer.
May Allah make this kotherland a heavenly place for us and guide us.
It would be great if Anni and the new governement get real and attend to the country's growing economic woes.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, it would be great if Bushry and other journlists could stop suggesting to Anni to engage in more publicity seeking stunts, and instead attend to rebuild our economy which is in shambles.
It would also be nice if hardcoe Gayyoom & Yameen loyalists posing here as anti- Qasim, anti -Dr Hassan and anti- Dr Shaheed MDP loyalists would come to their senses and stop blaming these individuals for Gayyoom's loss in th election. Bitterness towards them will not conceal your true colours! Instead, everyone should now lobby the government to dig us out of the deep economic hole that Maumoon left us in.
I think bush is trying to puppet the president from a distance..
