This was a comment I made to a friends status, regarding the contentious issue of Addu City.  Ahmed Nadeem   I am really pissed-off when people don't think about consequences of the ruling by civil court yesterday. I am really pissed-off when I see people, otherwise so blunt and indifferent about the rule of law and upholding the constitution, sud denly finds this as something to be proud of and how this one decision is going to make the judiciary so free and fair in all its actions. I am pissed-off when I find people talking about services or the lack of it as the sole basis for making Addu a city, bloody ignorant on the decentralization act and the authorities vested in the city council and the people through the act. I am pissed because none of the people who talks so proudly about city council with "ma ves city akah addu hadhan beynun, but ganoonai ehgothah" tagline have not read the act itself; have not understood why the people actually NEEDS a city council.

Following is a chat log I have had with a DQP supporter, regarding the civil court ruling today. The funny thing is that this was a person who tried to convince me to vote for Hassan Saeed because he is from Addu. His argument to counter mine (I was in favor of MDP candidate, Mohamed Nasheed) was if we want to expedite the development of Addu the only way was to elect Hassan Saeed as the president as he is from Addu and loves the place so much that he will do everything to ensure Addu becomes the second Male'.

The problem with Maldives is everybody but the experts chooses to express their opinions & the experts choose to sit behind dollar curtains. What's left of the media acts as a tabloid to misguide the masses and promote their own agendas quoting opinions that they think will sell the paper and promote themselves in the community.  The perfect example is the news report posted on Haveeru Daily [ http://www.haveeru.com.mv/?page=details&id=106616&category=irWfwyiv ] which was just a series of opinions expressed by a handful of people. The article lacks in depth analysis of the matter and I am sure the author has not made proper research in to the subject matter. Quoting a person is not news; it's tabloid not worthy of mainstream news media. That is my opinion.
