The President’s childish policies - by zoo

It is time to say no to the President aka Anni. He has done more harm than good for the past 11 months of his presidency. Every week he brings to the public his ‘coffee table plans’ – the plans he discusses with his mates in the backyard of ‘Muliaage’ aka Presidential Palace. His tone is very much like Zaki and his MDP closed circle friends.

He comes up with phony plans in the coffee table and goes on the national Radio revealing his plans and changes it before the next dawn. In fact, the very next radio cast, he will have a complete different stance on his previous week’s policies. Anyone who listen to his absurd policies will think, ‘is this guy mad or what?’

It is not a question of perhaps, but certainly he is mad and got some damaged brain cells since his long activist campaign. The very instant, when he started the activist work, he told to the corner shop chap that he will bring food price down with affordable rates but instead things are getting expensive day by day. The matter of fact is that the government does not have any control over the food price in Maldives. As usual, when people complain such issues he goes on the national Radio by way of old-fashioned tone of voice with his bizarre explanations . When the camera runs the shot and the radio tunes his voice, he opens up his mouth with humility (show-off) and lies to the public of his convenience. But the inconvenient truth is that he has no experience to deal with the international community to obtain funds and market tourism to get cash for his unrealistic policies.

Last few weeks he was talking about reducing and capping up the paycheques of the civil servants. Bear in mind, he is the one who increases the salary package before the Parliamentary election. As soon as it’s over, rumours were out that the regime has got plans to reduce the civil servants income. Now, for few weeks, he was talking about his chronicle plan on his weekly radio show but what happened after few weeks of his cap plan? When rival MPs and public uproar over this issue he softened like a ‘sponge-cake’ and portrayed to the public that the reduction of the civil servants’ salary will stay for only few months. Is it going to happen in few months down the road? Indeed, the ambiguous dialogue could only be sold to his hardcore MDP gossipmongers but the wider public won’t buy his preposterous telltales.

How he comes up with these immediate plans? Are there any strategic frameworks for this regime’s policies? What measures he has taken into account for such changes to his policies? Is there any decent stand for such amendments? Does he’s aware of the foreseeable economic future of this country or the global economy? When you pose a serious question he just baffles around and change things as if he was dealing with an uninformed public. Mr President, the public that you see is not all activists who applaud any time you open up your mouth. You are a President of a nation elected by majority of its people to govern the presidential system fairly but not to put your party first. Sometime your actions are more like you are governing a parliamentary system of power.

On the other hand, what about the agreements he signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly enabling normalization of ties between Israel and Maldives. Without doubt, the Maldivian general public is against any sort of relation with this warmongering nation but still he tries to convince to the public that this is acceptable to have relation with Israel by hurting the brothers and sisters of Islam in Palestine.

In fact, this is a nation which killed hundreds of innocent children and women and occupies the land without the wills of the landowners and put them forcefully into concentration camps. This is a country where it challenges the international community and kills helpless innocent civilians with WMDs. The so called President justifies his poor foreign policy by saying that the Middle Eastern nations (Egypt and Jordon) have such relations with this warmongering nation too. Mr President, do you know that why they have such relations with Israel? It’s not because they want it but it’s because there is no other way to get their stolen land back! You are just comparing us and them with your ridicule mind to get some political gains but people are not that stupid Anni!

Does the public know what he talks about when he meets the international delegates? Every time he meets a white folk he talks about “Islamic fundamentalism”. This is a President of a Muslim country talking about his own people to outsiders (Non-Muslim) that we are ‘bad people’ and our children are terrorists. This is the message he put out there to get some publicity from his white folk friends. This whole issue of ‘Islamic fundamentalism’ is to alienate the Muslim nations and degrade its citizens. Therefore, the question is, are you a Muslim or one of them?

It is time for us to come out our little rooms and challenge this man. We brought this change not to hurt our brothers and sisters in Palestine. His conservative thoughts, unislamic actions are hurting the wider public and Muslim nations. The young generation of this nation is getting misunderstood of his poor judgemental measures and actions. The public has being misleading with his unrealistic mockery plans for years. His inexperience, activist, conservative and disdain thought have been a dilemma for the wider community. Before the nation falls apart it’s our duty to act and put our faith in God rather getting more involved with his bogus policies and actions.
