Appeasing the trouble makers

Male’ Municipality is opening up the artificial beach for entertainment. Municipality has said that necessary permits will be given upon registration of interest at the General Services Section of Municipality. Municipality further revealed that events are to be held during week end nights.

In a flash of inspiration, Municipalty has realised that violence and criminal activities in the jam-packed Male' is due to lack of entertainment especially during the weekends. Municipality notes many young people are seen mindlessly wandering around during night time.

Few years back, there were music shows staged during weekends at an open space in Maafannu. The young revelled while the neighbours found the music blast too loud to bear.

The strength of the Maldivian entertainment industry is anchored in the natural talent of artists such as singers and live bands. Concerts that feature both local and international talent can attract individuals from all socioeconomic classes. In order to promote arts and cultural activities, governmnet can offer various incentives to artists.
