dammit, how many polls did Anni win.. use common sense.. its one year in his presidency and was your life better.. cmon its better only if your a political dog of him.

The guy has brought nothing but disaster to this country and broke its unity.. i will never vote for that dumb nut ever in my life. i didnt vote maumoon before but, i should have before. that mans 30 years is much better this 1 year. May god help us brace ourselves to the next 4 years.

Sium 01.18.10 @ 15.21

Naushad 11.11.09 @ 13.42

he is a legend! he is the best thing that ever happened to Maldives. I wonder why some people hate him so much just out of some weightless stories. like "bunyey bunyey kiyaigen dhakkaa vaahaka" no evidence whatsoever.

musa 11.10.09 @ 15.11

I think Maumoon should be more active than he is. Presidnet Nasheed is so scared of him. Look at the coincidence of the establishment of Riyaasee commission and nest day after he lost majority.

Ane.esa 11.7.09 @ 09.45

Like it or not, Maumoon will be the father of modern Maldives. Part of the development we see today was introduced during the last days of Pr.Nasir, but implemented by Pr.Maumoon, along with numerous other development. The failings of Pr.Maumoon were the inability of his administration to curb the drug usage and control corruption. Even with these failings, I would say that the development this nation has seen over his 30 year tenure will be appreciated by future generations and Pr.Maumoon will get his rightful place in our history.
