After a prolonged hiatus, Maldives is on the road to democratic reform, strenghtening public institutions and enforcing good governance. Unfortunately, this is happening on a socially destructive path.
Amidst the new found freedom of expression in Maldives, what is emerging is a spiteful and negative culture.
Instead of addressing serious issues and seeking speedy solutions, political contenders are playing gutter politics in the name advancing ideological differences.
Rather than blaming authorities endlessly, more effort should be made to solve the nation's problems without wasting time needlessly over trivial matters or even over archaic rules that have long served their time.
We need to create strong family bonds, provide a citizens healthcare system, and a path of excellence in education and sports.
We also need to embrace and promote an economic model- whether the Anglo-Saxon capitalistic model or any other model- that promotes economic growth, eliminates poverty and allows for a fulfilling life.
Just like in tourism, we need to inspire growth of the other sectors of the economy in order to create more opportunities and better jobs over a diverse range of activities.

am in complete agreement.
ur views are textbook perfect.
might even be from one.
but who is acting that way ???
which country has a perfect or near perfect system ?
Thanks for the comment nashydhu. No country has a perfect system, some countries are better than others. The prosperity model on my last post is an interesting model- it measures material wealth as well as life satisfaction when talking about a nation's development. Even USA that is on top of the material side is way behind some Europeans on healthcare.
Even if we didn't worry about any survey, Maldives is a small country that definitely has the talent and the capacity to solve its social problems much better than what is happening now. What is required is the political will to move fast purposefully and resolve issues quickly so that everyone has the opportunity to a fulfilling life.
It looks like Maldives is blindly heading towards a more American style of model in health care.At least from what i hear it looks like that. It is going to fail us big time..
The players in the field need to put the health care debate on the open urgently at this stage...
