Hulhumale
project exceeds the estimated time limit- not a surprise
Gayoom could not and
maybe will not continue and complete any project other than selling drugs for
business, which has become a major threat to the Maldivian society. Hulhumale project was such a one that had initially been
declared a home for the middle class and lower, but had now become his new
potential treasure.
Inventing a ‘bodukaafu’ was just another trick he led
Maldivians be prey to, to get the desired votes he needed to show the world. Every year nearing the elections Gayoom would
lay down some foundations that would never be completed and make up some more
illusions, which fortunately now has become totally obvious to the people.
Hapless people of the
Maldives had no other option but to listen to the void words of Gayoom, hoping
that someday they would be able to live their dreams. And they had waited 30
years, and pretty much gotten used to the waiting too. However, the new generation
has become more aware and much more intolerant now.
Like all other animals
in a jungle are aware of the king lion that rules it, Maldivians are aware of
Gayoom ruling and playing with their lives and rights.
Nevertheless Maldivians today have found a new
hope, perhaps an awaited light at the end of a dark panel that would become
their savior at the end of the day. And so have Maldivians realized the
importance of the presidential vote this year that would include candidates
from multi parties. And so will the Maldivians vote to exercise their rights
well and to get rid of Gayoom for good.
