Police to take over barber shops in Male

Maldives Police Service is to take over operations of all barber shops in Male, the police said today.

"We have found out there are several talented barbers and hairdressers in the police force. We have decided not to waste such talent. We will take over running all barber shops and hair salons in Male on July 26," said Ahmed Faseeh, Commissioner of Police.

An owner of a barber shop in Male, who does not want to be named, said he is not happy with this news. "The government is hypocritical. It is privatizing all other services but nationalizing the barber shops. This doesn't make sense."

Shouldn't teens be allowed to have their personal dignity?

Rather than hiding their identity behind their hairdos, aren't their hair actually their identity?

I thought that was the point of long hair anyway...
