C&W to acquire Mohamed Nasheed Broadcasting Corporation

Careless & Worthless (C&W) phone company in partnership with Dhiraagu is going to acquire Mohamed Nasheed Broadcasting Corporation (MNBC), a source close to Naseem has revealed today. C&W is in talks with Mahmood Razi, the Chairman of Privatisation Committee. He is also the Minister of Civil Aviation and Communication.

Invest Maldives has announced to privatize MNBC and C&W is going to charge high prices from all Maldivian households for watching television. Services that will become expensive after C&W acquires MNBC:

1. Television Maldives will become more expensive (users will have to pay a monthly fee to watch TVM)
2. Voice of Maldives (Dhivehi Raajjeyge Adu) will become more expensive (Bakuru will have to pay for listening to his favourite radio programme)
3. Ringtones through the "high speed broadband network" of Dhiraagu.

Mr Ahmed Naseer (Bodhu) who is the President of National Council for Linguistic and Historical Research (Dhivehi Bahaai Thaareekhah Khidhmaiy Kuraa Qaumee Markaz) is going to introduce a new phrase to the dictionary of Maldives after C&W acquires MNBC. The phrase is "aiy foaraa fashah" and it means 'expensive' in English language.
