Naseem stuck in Bangkok

My friend Naseem who polish english for this blog stuck at Bangkok because airport closed. Bangkok people protest because they don't like government. Naseem went to Bangkok to buy clothes for his clothes shop.

"This is huge loss," Naseem told me on phone using a Dhiraagu roaming phone.

I not going to night classes now. Because our teacher has left to Australia to get PhD in English. So I can't see Lubna now. Lubna now looking for job from President's Office.

I hear from Reethi Rah strike from TV. When I left my island I worked as roomboy in resort. I know resort employers very badly treating employees. I very sad to hear news Gasim and Sawad can't control mess. I don't support resort lease for 50 years also.

Now no night classes. So I write politics again in this blog. But English polishing only after Naseem come back from Bangkok. As experienced person in tourism industry as roomboy I will write on issues. I suggest Nasheed fire Sawad and Gasim immediately.

Sawad as running mate Gasim failed. Now with Sawad and Gasim as ministers Anni will fail too. Anni should also make Dr Munavvar Speical Advisor to President to deal this political crisis.

i like you. i hoping you like me too.

very boring now because in mvblogsphere everybody talking politics. i am going to night class English class to improve my english. this poem is dedicate to Lubna, very beautiful girl in my class. ever since I see Lubna, i am falling in love.

your eyes,
like diamonds,
sparkling,
your lips,
like jewelry,
when you smile.

i like you.
i hoping you like me too.

you walk like,
a graceful maakana.
and you talk like
the singing of Madonna.

i like you.
i hoping you like me too.

Smooth Transition Part 1: Phone Call Between Anni and Maumoon

This is a transcript of a telephone conversation between president-elect Nasheed (Anni) and outgoing president Maumoon. The conversation has been leaked by Himeyn Ingilaab and will appear in their website soon.

Maumoon: So have you selected the cabinet?

Nasheed: Yes

Maumoon: I heard that Dr Shaheed is the foreign minister

Nasheed: Yes

Maumoon: Ah! That is a good lad. He called me father of democracy. He said I belonged to the Club of Madrid* with such esteemed world leaders as Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton. Such a good lad. But spoiled by Dr Hassan. Who is the tourism minister?

Nasheed: Ahmed Ali Sawadh

Maumoon: Another good lad. He will increase corruption in the industry. He will please the resort owners. I am satisfied. Because I still hold some shares in a few resorts.

Nasheed: Which resorts?

Maumoon: That is a secret. I can't let you know that. You have taken my job. Now I have to have a source of income. Shouldn't I? I am old and Nasreena is old. We can't beg on the street at this age.

Nasheed: But Aneesa has proposed a bill on your behalf...

Maumoon: Don't you think I know what will happen, wise guy? You will replace the 8 members that I appointed with your own members. We will lose the majority in Majlis. Aneesa's bill will be thrown out.

Nasheed: I don't know. I will not have any control over the parliament.

Maumoon: But I am quite happy to know that your cabinet will consist of corrupt people. At least you will not get a good name from the people. Even you will not be saved from my legacy of corruption. That's what I call a smooth transition.

Nasheed: I know. That is why I am trying to save my face and hold a mid-term election. I will not stay as president after that.

Maumoon: Ah! I might contest in that election. If the DRP members allow me. Now let's get to serious business. In Theemuge there will be a top secret room. You will find strange equipment and different buttons. If the country is in danger and you need foreign assistance press the yellow button. Indian military planes will land at Hulhule within 45 minutes. In case of a regional or world war press the red button. Missiles will go from Aarah to various countries.

Nasheed: I didn't know you had such an arsenal.

Maumoon: I am not telling you every secret. Only the basic ones. Now let me tell you the location of the keys of the armoury.

Nasheed: No. I don't wanna know that before I take oath. I know how you were nailed in the Siyaasath program.

Maumoon: But for a smooth transition to take place, I have to tell you the location of the keys of the armoury.

Nasheed: I don't wanna know

Maumoon: Alright wise guy. I have told you enough. Now will you let me live in Muleeaage?

Nasheed: It is up to the Majlis to decide...

Maumoon: You are not as dumb as I thought. Now I have to bid farewell to the Gurkas in the palace. I will call you tomorrow to give you the details of my underground bunkers.

Thank you for the Shazra

Dr Shaheed resign last year because he afraid of no confidence vote from Majlis. He afraid because Yameen's PA will expose details of Project Druid. Only Yameen and Kutti Nasheed know details of Project Druid. Anni defeat worst dictator Golhabo in election. So Anni not afraid of anybody. So Anni appointing Dr Shaheed as foreign minister. Same Majlis as last year. Project Druid details still with Yameen.

Dr Shaheed want to make history. As person who appointed as foreign minister by two consecutive presidents. Becoming foreign minister after resigning one term.

Dr Shaheed very happy to reunite with his mistress Shazra at foreign ministry. He make Shazra very senior staff when he was minister. Now he can unite with Shazra for change.

Dr Shaheed will appoint former H & K employees to diplomatic missions in Copenhagen and Oslo. He form new embassies in Reykjavik, Antarctica and Greenland in new term.

Maldivians experience only 2 foreign ministers in last 30 years. Gayoom friend Fathulla foreign minister before Gayoom elected too. Then in 2005 Dr Shaheed start foreign minister. Now again in Anni cabinet Dr Shaheed. Old wine in new bottle.

Dr Munavvar gets a place in new cabinet

A security guard at Hilaaleege, who wishes to remain anonymous, has leaked the list of the new cabinet to us. He found the list while going through the dustbin at Hilaaleege. As we had expected, Dr Munavvar's name was on the list. There are some names on the list that are not appropriate for Anni's cabinet. Dr Ahmed Shaheed who was very corrupt when he was at the foreign ministry and made secret deals with Hill & Knowlton and appointed former H & K employees to foreign diplomatic missions. His affair with his mistress Shazra was not a foreign affair but a domestic one that went on within the foreign ministry. We are fearful of Ahmed Ali Sawadh who did not come to Maldives for 16 years, but came only recently and is going to become the new tourism minister. His brother Janah is going to profit from the appointment because Janah is running a family-owned construction company that is developing resort islands. We have never heard of Sarangu Adam Maniku who is to become the trade minister. We hear that he was proposed by Dr Waheed because Sarangu is a key player of Gaumee Iththihaad Party. That is because Dr Waheed had been away from Maldives for a long time so he knows only the few people who came to form Gaumee Iththihaad. Despite our mistrust of some people on the list, we are jubilant that Dr Munavvar, the most capable politician in Maldives, made it to the list.

1. Minister of Education: Dr Musthafa Luthfy

2. Minister of Finance: Ali Hashim

3. Minister of Defence: Ameen Faisal

4. Minister of Health: Dr Aminath Jameel

5. Minister of Housing: Mohamed Aslam

6. Minister of Fisheries: Dr Ibrahim Didi

7. Minister of Home Affairs: Gasim Ibrahim

8. Attorney General: Dr Mohamed Munavvar

9. Minister of Tourism: Ahmed Ali Sawadh

10. Minister of Islamic Affairs: Dr Abdul Majeed Abdul Bari

11. Minister of Economics and Trade: Sarangu Adam Maniku

12. Minister of Foreign Affairs: Dr Ahmed Shaheed

13. Minister of Justice: Dr Mohamed Jameel

14. Minister of Youth: Hassan Latheef

Dr Munavvar more experienced and suitable for cabinet post

Dr Munavvar should get cabinet post under the new government. He is more experienced than others who are competing. Dr Munavvar became member of Maumoon's cabinet in November 1993 when he was appointed as Attorney General. He got ten years of experience in cabinet as Attorney General. He got elected to people's majlis in 1994. He got elected again in 1999 and was in the seat till 2004. So he got ten years of experience as majlis member too. So a person with high level of political experience like Dr Munavvar is rare to find.

1. Dr Shaheed has got only two years of experience in cabinet. He was appointed foreign minister in 2005 and he resigned in 2007. His experience in foreign ministry was mostly with his girlfriend Shazra and listening to old Bob Dylan songs.

2. Dr Shaugee aslo has about five years of experience in cabinet. First as education minister and then as tourism minister. His experience in tourism ministry is mostly taking bribes from Aitken Spence and other resort owners. This is not a story made by us. This is verified by DO Editor Sappe, the most authentic source of news about Maldives. Sappe will personally arrive in Maldives on November 8 to verify this story. He has already done the flight booking.

3. Dr Hassan Saeed has only four years of experience as Attorney General beginning from November 2003. His experience is mostly charging political activists.

4. Dhiyana Saeed has no experience at all. She was promoted up to eight levels in ranking by Dr Hassan Saeed because she was active member of DRP.

5. Lolly Jabir has 5 years of experience in Majlis but no experience in cabinet. But he has experience of fooling foreign investors and not paying staff salary.

6. Adil Saleem has got experience of corruption in MIFCO. He is expert of home-made porn.

7. ADK Nashid was smuggler when he was seaman before he became respected member of society.

So Dr Munavvar is better than them. Anni and Dr Waheed is good. But Anni, Dr Waheed and Dr Munavvar is better. (Anni, Dr Waheed ragalheve. Anni, Dr Waheed, Dr Munavvar adhi maa ragalheve.)
