Bushry Column - 9

MDP must do more explaining of its policies and less bashing of Gayyoom

It was with high hopes and expectations that I went to the meeting of MDP on Monday night. It was the first general meeting after the formal registration of the party. It was at times exhilarating and hilarious; but it was at times disappointing as well. I don't think anyone went there expecting it to be a circus where the clowns performed and the kids clapped. We want our political figures and organizations to be more mature and organized. We may of course ridicule the regime when the need arises, but the opposition politicians should rise from the level of continuously ridiculing the regime. We need to hear some concrete political talk as well. more

Opinion
Our Nature!
OUR NATURE- infected people identified as "them" and treated punitively, naturally become less willing to contribute voluntarily to the social efforts needed for control. Very few government experts, except some Libertarians, seem to know anything about our unalienable natural rights. The former reads: "WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness …" more

Another Independence Day – Is it not a false sense of freedom?
Every year we tend to celebrate the 26th of July with great jubilation and happiness but the actual fact is that we are far from being really free people. We are not occupied by a foreign power and according to most historians, Maldives was never occupied. more

Readers Review
Traits of a Dictator: political corruption!
The illicit government of Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom has all the hall marks of the
biggest cancer called Corruption. The international study composed below to point out all the roots and traits of corruption very much add up to gayooms dictatorial rule. Simply put there is no rule of law in a full-blown dictatorship. more

DHIRAAGU price reduction policy!
Dhiraagu's Website says - "Since the launch of GSM mobile service in 1999, Dhiraagu has reduced Post-Paid prices 11 times demonstrating our clear commitment to offering the best possible value for all our mobile customers". After reading the above I couldn't help wondering what I'll do if the Government of Maldives grants me the exclusive rights for importing match boxes to the Maldives. See my business strategy below. more

Yes, Time has come for a revolt,
Fighting for freedom - 26th July 2005!

No doubt, the time has come for all of us to bring an end to this unjust and corrupt regime of Gayoom and his cronies. We all believe that this government has done believable damages to our country which no sincere Maldivian will ever condone. These injustices for the past 27 years against the sovereignty of the people prove its tyranny. more

THE DREAM

By the strength of our common endeavour, to achieve what we cannot do alone, to grant each of us the power to realize our full potential, and the means to create for this and future generations a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many not the few, where the respect we receive reflect the duties we owe, so that freed from the tyranny of poverty, ignorance and fear, we could live together in spirit of solidarity tolerance and respect.

[Clause 4 - Labour Party - UK]
