Dr Zakir Naik's son operates successfully at IGMH

Fariq Naik, the 11-year-old son of the famous Indian doctor Zakir Naik, has operated successfully on a 4-year-old kid at Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Male. Fariq Naik, who has replaced Dr Abdulla Niyaf at IGMH, is currently consulting kids with various ailments.

Dr Zakir Naik himself is consulting patients with asthma, blurred vision and migraine. Dr Naik's wife is consulting female patients seeking the advice of gynecologists. Within two days Dr Naik's wife has become more popular than established gynecologists such as Dr Yaganegi and Dr Aseel Jaleel.

"This shows the agreement Maldives government signed with Apollo Hospitals Group is bearing fruits. This is why we wanted to conceal parts of the agreement from the public and the media. We wanted the positive outcomes at IGMH to come as lovely surprises for the public," said Mohamed Zuhair, the President's Press Secretary.

The government recently signed a management contract with the Apollo Hospitals of India under which the largest hospital in the Maldives will be run by the Indian firm.

"Indo-Maldives relations is at an unprecedented peak with the arrival of Dr Naik to IGMH. This will be further strengthened when the government of Maldives invites Shah Rukh Khan to perform in the Maldives," said Foreign Minister Dr Ahmed Shaheed.

MDP promises lolly for all families once a month

The MDP government has promised lolly for all families in Maldives. The families can have lolly once a month. During presidential campaign current President Nasheed promised ice-cream for families once a month.

"The offer of ice-cream had to be toned down because of the global recession and our own economic troubles. All families can now enjoy lolly once a month. The brighter side of it is the lolly will come in three flavours: vanilla, strawberry and coconut," said Ibrahim Rasheed, the policy secretary at President's Office.

"We decided to offer lolly to all families after Lolly Jabir joined MDP. Now we will have no shortage of lollies," said Mohamed Zuhair, the President's press secretary.

"If we face a shortage of lolly, Dhiyana will ship a container from Kathmandu," said Abdulla Saeed, the cabinet secretary.

"We don't have any experience of running a government but Lolly Jabir has enough experience of selling lollies," said Ahmed Mausoom, the finance secretary at President's Office.

Former member of parliament and former deputy leader of the great Jumhooree Party, Abdulla Jabir recently joined the MDP. His wife Dhiyana Saeed, the former Attorney General, has been appointed as Secretary General for South Asian Association for Regional Consolation (SAARC). She will begin a three-year term serving the SAARC Secretariat based in Kathmandu, Nepal.
