From Al Fresco to Theemuge


From Al Fresco to Theemuge is a documentary directed by Mohamed Niyaz (Tedry) whose debut feature film Dheriya won critical acclaim in the Maldives. A production of Eternal Pictures, From Al Fresco to Theemuge is the documentary that will create raves in next year's Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals.

This is the story of one man who realizes his childhood dream of becoming the president of Maldives through his sheer determination, vision and hard work. This film is the story of Dr Munavvar, born in Addu Atoll Meedhoo, and migrated to Male' to complete his secondary education in Majeediyya School. This is the story of his rise in government, education in Russia and Canada, and how he became the Attorney General in his early 30s. This documentary traces the life of Dr Munavvar in the ten years he spent in Gayoom's cabinet and shows how he ultimately became the president of MDP through his shrewd political strategies.

This is a documentary that students of political science, scholars and members of academia must watch as director Tedry shows the political genius of Dr Munavvar through rare interviews and videos of past speeches. This is the film which will explain how a successful table-to-table campaign is conducted with guaranteed success.

From Al Fresco to Theemuge is the story of how one man succeeds to enter the presidential palace Theemuge through his strategies carried out in the nearby cafe Al Fresco.

Only an old mosque and a street separates the presidential palace Theemuge from STO Trade Center where the cafe Al Fresco is located in the ground floor. It is there in this cafe that Dr Munavvar and his supporters, including director Tedry, plot their plans for Dr Munavvar's entry into the palace as president of Maldives.

It is not by a stroke of good luck that Dr Munavvar chose a cafe in the block next to Theemuge. As the old saying goes "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line".

This documentary is to be screened after Dr Munavvar is sworn in as the President of Maldives.

Free CK perfume for Dr Munavvar's supporters

Le Cute, the premier perfume boutique in Maldives, managed by Lintel Investments and Management Services, is offering free Calvin Klein perfume for supporters of Dr Munavvar.

Abdul Majid, one of the shareholders and Managing Director of Lintel, is a close business associate of Qasim Ibrahim, Minister of Finance and Chairman of Villa group of companies. Majid is involved in the campaign of Dr Munavvar. Other Lintel financiers like Hassan Zahir (Rado) and Ahmed Zahir (Ahanma) are backing Dr Munavvar as well.

The perfume giveaways are CK Truth 3.4 oz EDT for Men and CK Contradiction Eau de Parfum Spray 100ml for Women. Dr Munavvar's supporters can use the perfume themselves or they could give the perfume as gifts for loved ones.

Contradiction is a complex blend of ingredients chosen for their individual clarity and ability to harmonize. We refer to this signature fragrance as a joyful oriental. The exhilarating freshness gives way to vibrant textural florals wrapped in a sheer blanket of soft warmth and femininity. She's strong, yet feminine. She's smart and sexy all at the same time. In many ways, she's a woman of contradiction. - Calvin Klein

TRUTH review by: KD
"ever since i entered my teens i was hooked on davidoff cool water...but that day at Le Cute, when i tried the calvin klein truth for the first time, i knew davidoff had a new rival. calvin klein truth offered everything that i had wanted, a natural yet outstanding fragrance and it lasted a long time too!"


The perfume giveaway is a new campaign strategy under the slogan "For clean life vote for a clean leader!". In a survey carried out by Ministry of Health, 85% of the Maldivians agreed that perfumes are an essential component of a clean life, in addition to Omo.

Majid launched the perfume campaign in a small function held at Seagull Cafe today.

KD promises to kick out Anni from MDP

Maldivian businessman and member of MDP National Council, Ibrahim Didi (KD) has promised to kick out Mohamed Nasheed (Anni) from MDP. In a CD released to mark KD's endorsement of Dr Munavvar as the candidate in MDP primaries, KD promised to fire the founder of MDP and former party Chairperson Anni.

Anni is contesting with Dr Munavvar to win the party's nomination for presidential election in Maldives. KD promised that Anni will not get even 100 votes from Addu, the birthplace of KD, where the owner of Fresh Air shop in Chandhanee Magu enjoys huge popularity among youth and businessmen.

The CD was launched in Seagull Cafe and later in Al Fresco. To make sure that more Maldivians, including those living abroad, are able to listen to the moving message from KD, the audio recording is now made available on Youtube.

More nonsense from anti-munavvar blog

We told last time about anti-Munavvar blog called Real Munavvar. We say last time that blog does not give facts and make assumptions.

After that they put another article. Heading of the article Facts. How come they can be facts. More assumptions. No facts. Just saying Dr Munavvar is bad without giving any facts.

I go with Naseem to Al Fresco and we have Lavazza cafe. We print anti-munavvvar blog articles and we studyed it. Our conclusions.

1. The anti-Munavvar blog person very good in English
2. anti-Munavvar blog person academically qualified
3. anti-Munavvar blog person personally jealous of Fathulla Jameel
4. anti-Munavvar blog person we think is not from MDP. Because MDP people love Munavvar.
5. anti-Munavvar blog person very coward. Because no comment displayed in the blog. Even we have comments.

Table-to-table campaign begins

A "table-to-table" campaign has been started today to campaign for Dr Munavvar. This table-to-table campaign means going from table to table in cafes telling the good things about Dr Munavvar. We are confident that this table-to-table campaign will be more effective than the door-to-door campaign of Dr Munavvar's main rival Anni, who stole Velaanaage when Dr Munavvar was the Attorney General.

Table-to-table campaign was launched in Al Fresco where people in many tables drinking Lavazza coffee agreed that Dr Munavvar is the best candidate.

We have seen new blog called Real Munavvar. That blog is against Dr Munavvar but they don't give any facts and evidence like us. They just write making assumptions. For best information on Dr Munavvar read our previous posts and keep reading.

Our Moment is Here. Dr Munavvar is Here.

Ladies and Gentlemen! There comes moments in the history of countries, when citizens search for leaders. There comes moments when citizens search for visionary people who can lead the country. When countries need steadfast people who can lead them into improved living standards.

Let us not make our martyrs' death be in vain. Let us not make our forefathers suffering be nothing but pain. We have to decide who can lead our nation.

Our moment is here. Dr Munavvar is here.

(This is small speech Naseem writes. Tomorrow we going to Al Fresco and we ask Kurendhoo Mahir and Kalbe, if Dr Munavvar can use this speech. We going to use this in campaign materials like this blog. Now Naseem back from Bangkok, I think we can write better articles and get high support for Dr Munavvar)

Naseem return from bangkok. Anni stole Velaanaage.

Naseem return from bangkok business trip. We have Lavazza coffee at Al Fresco. Naseem very angry that I feel confused about Dr Munavvar. Naseem tell Dr Munavvar is very good man and his enemies spreading lies. Naseem very busy with clothes for his shop so he can't polish my English. So many grammar mistakes. I think Naseem write better article tomorrow.

Naseem tell Anni stole Velaanaage. Anni stole Velaanaage because Velaanaage is more beautiful house than Kenereege. This was first time a house stolen. After Anni stole Velaanaage, it was found. So Dr Munavvar had no choice but to take Anni to court when Dr Munavvar was Attorney General.

For the time being I believe Naseem. He is very good friend. He give me tea many times.

Ali Didi tell breadfruit man story is true and Dr Munavvar very corrupt

I read this article about Dr Munavvar that say he is very bad man. I am now very confused. I wait for Naseem to come from Bangkok to clear this.

Today I meet Dr Munavvar's relative from Meedhoo. His name Ali Didi. We eat and Lavazza coffee at Al Fresco. Ali Didi tell me the story of breadfruit man is true. Ali Didi tell me that Dr Munavvar is personally jealous man and he was very bad Attorney General. I am now very confused.

Shabeer kept only Dhunikolhu island for himself, and he gave Velaavaru island to Zaki who in turn sold it to Champa Hussain Afeef. The case of Velaavaru island is unique. Maumoon Gayyoom knew that Zaki who was the head of the Tourism Ministry's resort awarding committee, had manipulated the process to benefit from Sunland's gaining of the three resorts. At one point, the case became very sensitive and Zaki had to seek the help of Gayyoom's executive secretary Abdulla Shahid and the then Attorney General Dr. Mohamed Munavvar to ensure the case was laid to rest.

Champa Afeef paid US$500,000 each to Abdulla Shahid and Dr. Munavvar to 'settle things', and Champa offered the same amount to Zaki. But Zaki wanted more than US$500,000 dollars and after some bickering, Champa who was desperate for Velaavaru island, promised to construct Zaki's eight-storey house complete with a swimming pool on the terrace. Now Zaki was really happy.

Zaki and his family frequently spent vacations in Lohifushi Resort at the time. The owners of the resort entertained him well. In return, DIMMS shareholders Solih and Didi each received a resort. Long after the resorts were given, Zaki continued to receive cheques from DIMMS.

Zaki's friend Dr Mohamed Munavvar, the Attorney General at the time, also visited resorts with Zaki and had drinking parties. Munavvar has family links with the Sunland group of resort operators. Out of the 14 islands, Sunland also received islands to develop as tourist resorts.

Munavvar as Attorney General changed a lot of things in the amended 1997 constitution to increase the President Maumoon Gayyoom's power. When Gayyoom removed the clause which stated that the president can only have two terms, Munavvar did not oppose it. This is just one example of many things Munavvar manipulated and twisted when he was Attorney General to further his own and Gayyoom's interests.

Munavvar can also be very petty. He once sentenced one of his neighbours to many years exile to another island, after that man who lives next door to people close to Munavvar accidentally picked a breadfruit from the 'wrong tree' because both breadfruit trees in the neighbouring houses had interlocking branches.

Munavvar's relatives decided to forgive the man, but Munavvar who bore a personal grudge against the man, gave him a disproportionately long sentence. This case was reported in the Maldives media but both Maumoon Gayyoom and Munavvar ignored it. This is how Munavvar treats even the weakest among his imagined 'opponents'. One can guess what torture he will inflict on any person who seriously politically opposes him if he is able to become Maldives' next dictator after Gayyoom is toppled by the MDP.

One similarity between the arrogant Dr Munavvar and paranoid Maumoon Gayyoom is that they both enjoy enslaving the people who work under them. If you fail to be publicly courteous and stand up when Munavvar enters the room, he will be your enemy for life. Munavvar lacks any sense of humanity towards his fellow beings and was even snobbish towards his fellow Cabinet members.

At various times he prevented draft bills by the former Labour minister Abdulla Kamaaludhdheen from being heard or read at the People's Majlis. (Abdulla Kamaaludhdheen is now the Fisheries minister; may Allah protect the fishing industry!)

All Maldivians know about Kamaaludhdheen's intellectual limitations, but bills by any majlis member, regardless of whether he can read and write, at least deserve a hearing.

Gayyoom removed Munavvar from the Attorney General's position in 2003 and offered him another post, but Munavvar declined the offer. It is believed that Gayyoom's brother and Trade Minister Abdullah Yameen wanted both Zaki and Munavvar removed from cabinet because Yameen saw them as a threat to his own presidential dreams.

Zaki and Munavvar never belonged to the core group of the Gayyoom regime, and they had visions of gaining power in the future. Both of them criticised Gayyoom in private gatherings, but in public it was all 'praise for Gayyoom'. Even in October 2003 during the peak of Gayyoom's election campaign, Zaki organised a ceremony supposedly to mark an anniversary of national planning in the Maldives, and Gayyoom was invited and gave a speech with maximum publicity. Zaki had organised similar publicity campaigns for Gayyoom on many occasions.

As the Attorney General, Munavvar relentlessly prosecuted political dissidents and people with moderate Islamic beliefs who were critical of the regime. His performance at the Sandhaanu prisoners trials, on behalf of Maumoon Gayyoom, was a national and legal disgrace. At the same time, he pulled strings to free his friends who committed all sorts of criminal acts.

There is no doubt that both Zaki and Munavvar would be faithful servants in the Gayyoom regime had they not been sidelined. If they had been offered acceptable cabinet portfolios they would have remained supporters of the regime and would not have 'defected' to the MDP.

As Attorney General, Munavvar received an opportunity to work towards constitutional and legal reform but he did nothing with his skills and power for the betterment of Maldives and Maldivians. Instead, he defended a corrupt regime, and ended up a corrupt politician.

Why is everyone say Dr Munavvar is so bad and corrupt?

Why is everyone say Dr Munavvar is so bad and corrupt? I am so confused. When I start eating at Al Fresco I heard from everybody that Dr Munavvar is good man. He come to Al Fresco many times and he sit next to the table where we sit many times.

My friend Naseem who polish my English language gone to bangkok on business trip. So many grammar mistakes. Sorry.

I read article person who commented on this blog said. I read it here. From that website I find the original article here. I also find another blog person's blog here.

The another blog person say Munavvar very bad.

Accusations of corruption leveled at the two have never been answered satisfactorily and it should be noted that Munavvar is the architect of the flawed constitution currently taking so much resources and time to ammend. To my knowledge neither have said sorry in public for anything they've done while with Gayoom. After Sandhaanu Zaki dramatically shouted at Munavvar, at his MDP leadership campaign, that he was responsible for the online editor's years of torture and suffering, the former attorney was forced to come up with with a half-hearted explanation. Apparently, Gayoom forced him to do all the bad things he did in office, while he was fully responsible for all the good things. In a laughable early speech at an MDP rally Munavvar blamed Gayoom for the constitution but took the credit for himself for creating the law school.

I want to ask Naseem about truth. He is very good Munavvar supporter. I think he come from Bangkok Airways flight soon.

Dr Munavvar has no history of corruption

Dr Munavvar is not a corrupt person. So many people say that Dr Munavvar is corrupt because they don't know Dr Munavvar. Friends and people who know Dr Munavvar know that he is as clean as the sand on our beaches.

When Munavvar was in cabinet, he was in the post of Attorney General. If you are the Attorney General you can't have any control over giving resorts to your friends. Because an Attorney General cannot give a resort to a friend. This is common sense. Even a child will know this.

Dr Munavvar and Abdullah Shahid were buddies at school. Later they worked together at foreign ministry. So they were good friends. When Munavvar was in cabinet he was seen together with Shahid many times. This was because they were good friends. Shahid could have abused his position in President's Office to award resorts to his friends. But Dr Munavvar had no involvement in the corruption of Shahid.

Ibrahim Hussain Zaki was Dr Munavvar's best buddy in the cabinet. When Zaki was the tourism minister they were seen together many times and they visited resorts many times. This was friendship. Dr Munavvar did not try to abuse this friendship and try to get resorts for his friends.

Zaki and Munavvar bid for Villingili in Addu Atoll because they knew that without influential people Villingili will never become a resort. So they did this because they wanted tourism to go to Addu. They told Maumoon also about bidding for this resort. It was all transparent and no corruption was involved.

According to the law even cabinet ministers can do business. They have to inform the president in advance. Who in the cabinet does not do business? All ministers are renting their houses. Abdulla Shahid is renting his house. Abdul Rasheed Hussain is renting his house. The ministers are also human beings and they have to earn money. So Munavvar also had done nothing wrong when he did business while in cabinet.

Vote for Munavvar - Vote for a clean leader!
