Dhiraagu sponsors Waheed's overseas trip

President of Maldives Dr Waheed Hassan is leaving Maldives on a short trip sponsored by Dhiraagu. Waheed said he is leaving to Singapore for a medcial treatment of his wife First Lady Ilham Hussain. Waheed said there is nothing he can do now in Maldives which he can't do through a phone call while abroad.

Dhiraagu is the number one telecom company in Maldives. They charge a very high fee for telecom services such as overseas calls and internet. Sometimes they hold promotions such as reduced rates for pilgrims visiting Mecca. But they did not provide low rates for overseas calls when President Waheed and former President Nasheed went for an Umra in Mecca earlier this year. Many people disbelieved President Nasheed when he said he went for an Umra. They disbelieved him because he is accused of being 'laadheenee'. But recently leaked photos taken from a NASA satellite shows President Nasheed inside a vehicle wearing a pilgrim's white 'ihram' dress and speeding across the desert. Still the disbelievers said this was a fake photo taken in the land area President Nasheed reclaimed in Hinnavaru.

Dhiraagu is providing a special rate for President Waheed to make phone calls from Singapore.
