HAPPY NEW YEAR!

PROPAGANDA...LOL

Thanks to all the comments. and special thanks to the article.
BUT FOR YOUR VERY KIND INFORMATION I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THE REALITY.
I joined the Republican party not for money,but for a better Maldives.and thats DEMOCRACY, i have the right to raise my voice.Join or associate with any organisation i want to. In my opinion Mr.Qasim Ibrahim is the perfect candidate in this elections. So i endorsed him as my candidate. True, i quit MDP, I support their cause, but still i believe Qasim is better according to our countries current situation. I believe he is the only canidate full of hope. I hope for a better tomorrow. I didnt follow my father or anyone else to the Republican party. I decided to join the Republicans when Mr. Qasim announced his candidacy. FYI-I have been a supporter of Qasim since the begining of the reform process and really appreciate his contributions, efforts and support to the reformists from the begining, directly and indirectly. I still remember the pledges and hopes given by MDP in lanka- Galle face Hotel before MDP was officially registered. i truely believe their cause. but thats another stage. We suffered but, passed and succeeded it,thanks to ANNI.But now we are in the next stage, we have to think wisely. thats what i believe. and i hope Qasim would bring the change we want.
And i never recieved any funding for my education from Qasim or anyone else. And i never studied at HELP Institute-Malaysia.
and theres nothing i expect from anyone.but HOPE for a better tomorrow to us all maldivians.
Thanks,

The Next Emperor- Inspiration Story dedicated to Qasim's Running mate Ahmed Ali Sawad

An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he decided something different. He called young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you."

The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today. One very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it and come back here after one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next emperor!"

One boy named Ling was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly told his mother the story. She helped him get a pot and planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered it carefully. Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
Ling kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks went by. Still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants but Ling didn't have a plant, and he felt like a failure. Six months went by, still nothing in Ling's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed.

Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Ling didn't say anything to his friends, however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling told his mother that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But honest about what happened, Ling felt sick to his stomach, but he knew his mother was right.
He took his empty pot to the palace. When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other youths. They were beautiful in all shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and many of the other kinds laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and just said, "Hey nice try."

When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. "What great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the emperor. "Today, one of you will be appointed the next emperor!" All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified. "The emperor knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!"

When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name. "My name is Ling," he replied. All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd, "Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!" Ling couldn't believe it. Ling couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new emperor?

Then the emperor said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds, which would not grow. All of you, except Ling, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new emperor!"

Ahmed Ali Sawad - The New Republican Dream -The perfect Runningmate

The Presidential Candidate of Jumhooree Coalition and Jumhooree Party, Honorable Qasim Ibrahim, has nominated Ahmed Ali Sawad as his running mate in the upcoming elections. Qasim made this special announcement at a ceremony held at West Park Restaurant on Monday night.

We dedicate this page to Dr.Sawad who is the sensation of the new political era. There are several educated youth in this country who aspires to become politicians. The 30 year old regime has been negligent to develop its future leaders. This has resulted in most educated youth to leave the country in pursuit of a better future elsewhere in the world.
Why Sawad?
As Maldives dawns in to a new ear of a multiparty democracy, Qasim has selected a running mate with sound academic background. A new face, which is spotless with strong ethics and legal background. Someone whose hardships and struggle in life is exemplary to others. Someone who believes that the foundation of the society lies in the family and role of parents. Someone without a history of blessed government scholarships or gained any position of authority through cronyism. Someone who did not abuse the human rights of our fellow citizens after returning from legal studies.
Only such people can give Qasim and the nation a good future. Only such persons can assit Mr.Qasim to deliver his promises and pledges and the people of the Maldives all the benefits of the new constitution.May Allah bless this country with a benevolent leader like Qasim Ibrahim - truly an example of kindness, compassion and tolerance.
Youth expectations
We want the same from the new leader; courage and fearlessness in the face of oppression, tolerance and strength in face of tyranny, compassion and kindness to the fellow citizens, work tirelessly towards promoting democratic principles, human rights, equality, justice, foreign relations and always strive and struggle to uplift the human dignity and respect of all the citizens .
Education
Sawad did his Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Political Science, Economics and History from India. In order to pursue his interests he did a Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism. After which he pursued his Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at Bangalore University and continued his Master of Law (LLM) in Public Law and Policy Choice from National Law School of India University .After three years he progressively continued his Doctor of Philosophy in Law at University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Awards and Recognition
Sawad received a first rank Gold Medal from National Law School of India University, for the Master of Laws Program 9 in recognition of the Best Thesis and High Grade Point Average in year 2000.The government of Maldives recognized this and gave a Presidents Award on 2004.He was awarded a PhD Scholarship from University of Otago.
Experience
Sawad has worked in both Times of India and Indian Express as sub editor and cub-reporter while he was studying in Bangalore.While he was in the Maldives he worked as a legal counsel and lawyer to private interests that includes,drafting , litigating and negotiating commercial interests.He was also a member of Legislative Review Task Force of National Law School of India University and was a teaching Assistant.While in University of Otago he served as a research assistant, lecturer,course co-ordinator and more recently as a researcher mainly in Shari ah and human rights.He has also participated in several international forums and his work has been widely published.

So think about Sawads Knowledge,
Whats Better than a Government of ACTION and KNOWLEDGE!
VOTE QASIM for the change you want.

“Tears to hope, strength and joy" VOTE QASIM!

Qasim Ibrahim was born to a poor family. As an infant of only 38 days he lost his beloved mother. He grew up in an uninhabited island with his father and brother. As a result of this misfortune ,he had little formal education. He spent his childhood as a servant boy .He worked hard day and night to survive and started from very humble beginnings which paved way for him to become a self-made multi-millionaire and a philanthropist, helping hundreds of Maldivians on the way. He is seen as an inspiration and a visionary; a person who has touched many lives, winning a special corner in everyone’s heart and someone who has beaten all the odds to become a potential for the top job.

Qasim is truly a living hero who has fought for democracy and injustices in the society. He is the only Maldivian businessman to stand against tyranny of the current regime and sacrificed his day and night to bring a constitution to the country that will deliver us a brighter future. He can deliver the promises made in the new constitution in action.WE believe Qasim has all the traits for the top job because he is ;

A man of compassion
For nearly two decades he has served the people of this country, who were struggling for higher education, health, survival and sustainable communities.
He requested everyone to join him to fulfill the wishes of those who were needy and more deserving; children and elderly with life threatening medical conditions such as heart disease, cancer,brain tumor ,kidney failure, various neurological and ortho disorders and youth desperately in quest for higher education...
All....to enlighten and enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
We call it compassion in action
He has the compassion and a heart to listen to the pathos of every Maldivian
He can bring a positive change, for he can colour your dreams..................

A man of action
For nearly two decades he developed a business virtually from scratch.
He has set an example for others..
He knows every inch of what he has built by commitment and dedication
He was on the floor to drive the team
He did not marginalize any fraction of his team
He learned on the job
He achieved success through compassion, not by ruthlessness
We admire and respect such humility
He can bring a positive change, for he can implement change

A man who dreams & thinks big
For nearly two decades he dreamed big
He tried to make seemingly impossible ventures
But nothing is impossible if you really set out to do so
He developed financially feasible, environmentally and economically sustainable projects
He tried this with much resistance from those who were thinking small...
Small in everything, who diminished the hopes for a developed nation..
And he acted boldly. because...it is this thinking big and acting boldly that will
move our country from where it is today
We are sure that he can change the mindset from small to big by being loyal to the nation
He can bring a positive change , for he can implement change.............

A man who has built minds
For nearly two decades he has invested in developing minds and an educated youth
He has urged all youth to respect the law and to abide by them
He has fought for democracy, human rights and equality of our people
He facilitated university education to marginalized people of the atolls
He succeeded in liberalization of our minds
We are sure that he will build a strong nation
He can bring a positive change, for he can change this system

A man who takes risk
For nearly two decades he has taken all the necessary risk
He has taken greater risk than anyone else in order to grow faster and thinking big
He has always visioneered in to doing new things and taking the nation to new heights
We were lagging behind because we did small things in small places
We were not concentrating on ventures that could have brought development like other countries
We are sure that only Qasim Ibrahim can take us to greater dimensions
He can bring a positive change, for he can uplift to you to greater heights!

IM BACK!

im back on the blog after such a long time.

CHeerz!

Another month...

Ramazan also passed, and i had a checklist of things to do. I have tried hard,but progress is very slow. But i still have hope. I will succeed. Im so much better in health now. And basically im getting back on the track. I have started gaining weight now...will get back to this blog soon. meantime, you all tc. Cheerz

a new begining....

I have been feeling down for quite a sometime. My health has been down for sometime too. After a few days, I am feeling a lot better. My meal skipping is no more. I take good meals everyday. I take at least 1100 calories daily. In addition I have been taking vitamin and mineral supplements in order to gain a few more weight and I have also decided to work out on some exercises for 30 minutes daily.

As my busy bee days are no more, I have also decided to start working like before. These past few months I have been 24/7 home doing nothing. But now I plan to start spending my time on something valuable.

In order to build my faith, I have also decided to pray all five prayers daily and recite the holy Quran at least every other day. And everyday during the Ramadan.

Building family relations, I also plan to meet my family more frequently. I haven’t visited or met my family for a long time. I haven’t even gone for family gatherings much. I feel guilty about this. But I hope to undo all this and become a true family member.

Meeting friends, I haven’t been going out with my friends for a long time. I have been a very close friend to a lot of people out there. I met them very often and had a lot of fun and remarkable memories too. I plan to go out and become more social from now on.

My life will be much better once I complete all these important dynamics of my life. And as always I will try to catch my dreams till I die. I have a lot of ambitions, all I need is to put more effort and achieve all my goals. It’s nothing hard for me; I know I can do it. I have always been achieving what I want in life, and I will do it. “Nihil Labore Dificile” (Nothing is impossible with hard work) I still keep in mind the motto of my school – Majeediyya. It will never be forgotten. I can do this, and will do this.
