Ministry of Research 🇲🇻

“Likes of these people”? You mean the Ministry and Dr. Adam Shameem? Your choice of that phrase says everything about your distaste for Islam and its Book. Let’s not refer to socio-political elites from Maumoon and Nasir eras as our “ancestors.” Tourism began not too long ago in 1972, and even they understood the importance of keeping it separate from our communities through the one-island-one-resort model. People have written extensively about how tourism mixing with local island life has affected our Dhivehi culture and Islamic identity. Just look at Maafushi. I’ve shared headlines from recent years, and there are plenty more. But none of that seems to concern you. As long as the money keeps flowing, the erosion of our religion, culture and national identity is apparently a price worth paying. Your position is no different from that of Anni. Your ignorance of local issues in a senior MoT role clearly shows how your consuming greed has blinded you with arrogance. And this “progressiveness” you keep promoting? We’ve seen where it leads. Clubbing, partying, alcohol and indecency becoming normalised on Muslim land. Look at what’s happening across the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE. And what happens to the Ulama who speak against these changes? Jailed. Like Shumba arrogantly promoted. It’s a familiar pattern. Normalise indecency, feed people’s greed, make them dependent on wealth like an addiction, and slowly weaken their attachment to Islam. This is exactly what we stand against. And I believe many of the original PPM & PNC members stood against it too. Your position reminds me of the warning in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:85): “Do you believe in some of the Scripture and reject the rest?” Our Rizq comes from Allah. Not Alabbar, not the Gulf states, and certainly not some so-called investor promising to solve all our problems. That’s our faith and belief. And from everything you’ve said, it’s clear that you don’t share that belief. 📚 Javaab dhehvee Ministry of Research والله أعلم

Our ancestors were more progressive than the likes of these people. Had they employed this kind of logic, Maldives tourism would have never kicked off. Where would we be today if we didn’t capitalize on tourism? And did it affect our Islamic beliefs and values? The answer is no. RasMale’s concept of tourism will be no different.
