Last night I met my friend Naseem in front of Seagull Cafe. Now Seagull Cafe closed so we can't enter. Naseem and I cross the street and stand in front of Dhiraagu.
"What a useless building," Naseem said pointing to Dhiraagu.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because they are worst ISP in the world," Naseem said.
Naseem said he having problems with internet for many days now. Dhiraagu problem. Dhiraagu said they are hacked. Dhiraagu said hacker group testing new type of attack called DDOS because Dhiraagu is in third-world country and easier to test attacks.
Naseem very angry because he can't send emails to his shipper in Bangkok to confirm new clothes for his shop. Naseem more angry because he can't chat with his Thai girlfriend in Bangkok.

Revenge is bittersweet for beautiful Rozaina
Rozaina Adam, the beautiful daughter of Mafia boss Don Adam Fulhu, has won Thulusdhoo Dhairaa (constituency). Rozaina first had a chance to sit in Majlis chamber when she was appointed as an Appointed Member by President Gayoom last year. As soon as the new president Nasheed was sworn in he replaced Gayoom's appointees with his own. Saying this was illegal Rozaina challenged this at the court but did not win. To win back her Majlis seat Rozaina contested for Thulusdhoo Dhaaira in the election this time. As a child Rozaina had visited Thulusdhoo several times as her father had owned garment factories there. As the family fortune declined during the last deacde and as they were forced to close down factories, Rozaina's enthusiasm to serve the Thulusdhoo people did not wane. As vengeance against President Nasheed for removing her from Majlis seat, she is also bringing to the Majlis her husband Nashiz, who won Alifushi Dhaaira, Nashiz's brother Thasmeen Ali, who won Kendhoo Dhaaira, and Thasmeen's wife Visaam Ali, who won Maduvvari Dhaaira. Rozaina's father Don Adam Fulhu also contested in the Kaashidhoo Dhaaira but narrowly lost. However, the Don is pleased that the family has won so many seats. Besides the 65,000 rufiya that each Majlis member will receive as monthly salary, winning so many seats will have positive effects on the Don Adam Fulhu family businesses and strengthen their position within the opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party. Rozaina will be sworn in as the most beautiful MP in the Majlis on May 28. Polls taken to determine most beautiful MP show Rozaina ahead of MDP's Eva Abdulla, whose husband Saabe is likely to receive the Best Hacker Award in California this year for his hacking of Elections Commission website and putting a photo of President Nasheed with a pair of devil's horns in the homepage. However Saabe could not access the elections database and thus he could not decrease the number of votes Rozaina received.

Candidate Abdul Salam Arif prays five times a day
Today I watched TVM political debate. Noonu Atoll Manadhoo Section debate. Presenter asked question why people should vote for you to candidates. Candidate Abdul Salam Arif said people should vote for him because he prays five times a day.
Candidate Abdul Salam Arif very pious man with beard. He was educated in Malaysia. A Lawyer. He did not attack any other candidate.
Another candidate Ahmed Faisal also very talkative candidate. He was born in Lhohi. But he makes me suspicious. Because he studied in UK, he worked in UK and he said he studied economics. But he worked in Maldives Police Service. What would a police officer do in two years working in UK and why police officer study economics? Ahmed Faisal was TVM presenter with Mariyam Waheeda when presidential election results announced in October. Was Ahmed Faisal put there by secret police to change vote result announced by TVM? I suspicious. When one candidate say Ahmed Faisal try to destroy democracy as police officer Ahmed Faisal become very sad. He say go and ask Assistant Commissioner of Police Abdulla Riyaz as Ahmed Faisal try to do many good things for democracy as police officer.
This makes I more suspicious. Because Abdulla Riyaz is very notorious man. Even now trying to get votes for Ghassan Maumoon in Thimarafushi. Was Ahmed Faisal studying with Ghassan in UK? I become more suspicious now. I think many secret police men supporting Gayoom are candidates.
Today debate MDP candidate Thoriq and DRP candidate Mohamed Hussain Shareef (Mundhu) also very talkative. But very difficult to believe what Mundhu say because he was liar supporting Gayoom. My favourite from debate is Abdul Salam Arif who prays five times a day.
