Reefside, the largest retailer of watches in Maldives, has announced that it will be giving free Citizen watches for the supporters of Dr Munavvar, the current MDP President who is expected to win the party primary for a presidential candidate.
"Maldivians have been only people for too long, deprived of their basic rights. Now we are providing Maldivians the opportunity to become Citizens. This is a moment for all Maldivians to seize because by voting for Dr Munavvar, you will be choosing to become full-fledged Citizens," Reefside owner Hassan Zahir (Rado) declared in a function held at Al Fresco.
Reefside is giving Citizen Nighthawk BJ7000-01E watches for men and Citizen Silhouette EW8140-54N watches for women. Both watches belong to Citizen Eco Drive series which requires no batteries and charges in sunlight or indoors. The Nighthawk's features include non-reflective crystal, dual date, pilot's slide rule dial ring operated by crown at 8 o'clock position and large luminous markers for easy readability. The Silhouette's features include blue mother-of-pearl dial, Swarovski® crystal, all stainless steel, jewelry clasp with push button and is water resistant.
"We chose to include Nighthawk in this giveaway because Dr Munavvar makes his political plans mostly at night. We believe this watch will be highly useful for Dr Munavvar and his supporters who never see the light of day before the sun is at mid sky," Zahir told the assembly of reporters and political pundits.
"We selected Silhouette for this giveaway because Dr Munavvar is like a silhouette in the political realm of Maldives. Nobody knows what he really does as MDP President, but his popularity is rising day by day," he added.
The watches are given with a 5 year warranty which will be equivalent to the 5 year guarantee that Dr Munavvar will be giving to the people after he is elected as the President. The watches feature a special alarm that Dr Munavvar and aides will use when extraordinary special functions are held in mornings. Dr Munavvar has promised to change the working hours of Maldives from 1.30 pm to 10.30 pm because he had noticed in his 10 years as Attorney General that a number of civil servants and students in Maldives simply did not have breakfast because of early working hours.
Hassan Zahir is a close business associate of Minister of Finance and Villa Group Chairman Qasim Ibrahim. He is a hardcore supporter of Dr Munavvar and is joined by other close business associates of Qasim such as Thuthubey and the shrewd political strategist Kalbe in bringing the campaign of Dr Munavvar to a new level. Zahir is a major financier of MDP.
Citizen Nighthawk has been reviewed by Mondale, an aeronautical engineer and businessman who is a frequent customer of cafe Al Fresco.
"The features are amazing. Apart from all the other timekeeping-based and solar powered-based features you can read about everywhere else on the internet, the Nighthawk also has a multi-functional Slide Rule. This is not really praised or mentioned anywhere else so I will tell you what it is, what it does and why it makes owning this watch very cool!
With the slide rule you can calculate your car's fuel consumption, average speed/velocity and the time you will arrive at your destination, you can also multiply and divide numbers, calculate ratio's into percentages, integers and decimals, covert liters to gallons, pounds to kilograms as well as other metric conversions. The slide rule also performs a few more complicated calculations that involve airplanes and nautical vessels that are beyond my understanding.
At any rate, these calculations can be done by simply rotating the NightHawk's bezel and matching specific arrows at certain points along the dial. (If you don't believe me, you can download the Nighhawk's PDF manual and read up on it for yourself.)"
Hassan Zahir is a businessman known for paying Customs import tariff promptly without any complaints. When a reporter asked why as a businessman he wasn't backing Anni who has pledged to reduce the import tariff Zahir gave a solid explanation.
"I have been giving my money to Customs as tariff for so long that it has become an addiction. I like to do business and make profit after paying high tariffs. There will be no appeal in doing business without paying tariff. I don't like it when life becomes a piece of cake. As a person who has become successful by selling watches, I always like being in a race against time. That is one reason why I picked Munavvar over Anni."
Citizen company was established in Japan in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company. During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.
Reefside has been retailing Citizen and other branded watches at affordable prices for Maldivians for over two decades.

I want one watch for myself, and two watches for my two wives, and another watch for my mistress. May God bless Hassan Zahir and help him get more money from Qasim Ibrahim.
i heard that he is giving some Citizen watches to some NGOs to make them Citizens.
My name is Shuaib Shah. I am a construction worker from Bangladesh. I have been here in Maldives for 2 years. My boss pays me only 90 dollars a month. I would like Mr Zahir to give me a citizen watch so I can be citizen of this country. I will vote for Dr Munavvar is i can become citizen of this country.
May God bless Reefside Hassan Zahir, Le Cute Majid, Ahanma, Tedry, Kalbe, Thuthubey, Kurendhoo Mahir, KD, Mondale, Qasim Ibrahim and Dr Munavvar. With 20 days remaining, Qasim is with us to spend few millions more. I can already see Dr Munavvar taking oath as President.
Hassan Zahir (rado)used to forge invoices and documents to pay a lesser amount as Customs import duty. Once his company's tricks were discovered and a staff at his company was used as a scapegoat to save the arse of Zahir. He pretends to be a very religious and pious person but his background is dark and he is a sinister stooge of Qasim Ibrahim.
I know this story too. The original invoices were burnt to destroy the evidences and fake invoices were made. It was Seedhi who worked for Rado Zahir. Seedhi was 'sacrificed' to save Zahir. In the end, Zahir was not even grateful to Seedhi for keeping Zahir out of the picture and admitting to a crime that was committed actually by Zahir's orders and joined by Zahir. Seedhi was fired by Zahir because Zahir wanted to appear as a very clean man who didn't employ crooks. Zahir had very good relations with Gayoom at that time, and he fired Seedhi to make it appear that Zahir wouldn't forge documents. Crooks will rule this country in the future. Not Citizens.
