Airport Hotels, Safari Yachts should not have alcohol!


The increase in the smuggling and illegal sale of alcoholic beverages in Male has taken a sharp rise in the recent months. In most of the cases, it is expatriates (Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis, etc) who are seen to be taking part in such activities, along with help from locals. I suggest the following actions if we want to see a decline in this:

1. Permits are currently given to foreign teachers, seaplane pilots, etc. to purchase liquor from places such as resorts and the Airport Hotel and consume such products in Male’. There is no way to prevent such foreigners from selling alcohol drinks to locals. I suggest that we stop issuing such permits. Any foreigner who wants to consume alcohol should do so in resorts but he should not be allowed to bring such beverages to any inhabited island.

2. Currently many foreign residents of Male visit the Airport Hotel to consume alcohol. This has apparently become an easy access point to bring alcohol to Male illegally. Similarly the Ocean Reef Hotel in Addu Atoll Gan is also apparently such a point where locals could get easy access to alcohol. I suggest that we revise the regulations so that no hotel in an inhabited island (or with a causeway-connection to an inhabited island) should be allowed to sell alcohol. If such a regulation is implemented it would prevent the Hulhule Airport Hotel and the Ocean Reef Hotel in Gan from selling alcohol.

3. Similarly we should not allow any of the upcoming Airport Hotels (that are to be opened in regional airports) to sell alcohol.

4. Safari Yachts who travel to various islands and atolls (with tourists) are allowed to buy and sell alcohol. Such vessels could easily sell alcohol to locals. I suggest that the safari yachts should not be able to buy and sell alcohol.

  6. So you are advocating for more intolerence than liberating. There were couple of posts by you that actully interested me and for a sec i thought Bushree is coming to sense again. But dude you blew it. big time!
    This post is very narrow-minded.
    Problem is not consuming alcohol. There are billions of ppl consuming alcohol and they don't go nuts like us. Our attitude towards these things are really childish. you sir are out of your mind to suggest to not Permit for foreigners or anyone else for that matter to consume alcohol or anything else. you think alcohol selling in safaris and HIH is the problem.
    Close the fucking resorts and all the means of living and why don't we just hang our self. Man what a country !!!????????RRRGGGGG

  16. BREAKING NEWS

    DR SHAHEED HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR A TELEPHONE CALL BETWEEN EHUD OLMERT AND NASHEED AFTER A CALL BETWEEN DR SHAHEED (CURRENTLY IN GENEVA)AND ISRAELI FOREIGN MINISTER TRIPZI LIVINI. DISCUSSION WAS BASED ON ESTABLISHING DIPLOMATIC RELATION BETWEEN MALDIVES AND ISRAEL AND HOW ISRAELI INVESTORS CAN INVEST IN MALDIVES.

  18. Whats wrong Israel investments?
    Most of the resorts are build by their money anyway. Maldivians should welcome russian and italian mafia before the money ends some where else..

  20. good suggestions, but will president nasheed take these into account? his own deadlines are already past. we see little to no progress in most areas he talked about reforming.

  22. i have a better idea. how about we ban alcohol even from resorts. is there a single ayah or hadith which permits that. would you guys just drop that hypocrisy and quit dat fuckin fence sitting?

    personally i believe what anni was trying to say in that famous ganja speech is very important. being less strict on alcohol and ganja (which proves to be less harmful than tobacco even)....will help us in the fight against hard drugs, drug addiction and the social problems related to it.there are better things we can do than trying to stop an old man from masturbating, just because it is haraam.

  23. Come to think of it, there is no middle way. There is no choosing of which rules to follow, in our religion. It is strict. And you must follow them. If you don't, you are not following the religion. You cannot claim you are a devout muslim, if you pick n chose what you want.

    What you could do is :

    Denounce it. And then follow the world, based on nation's constitution, democracy, humanity, prosperity where ever it leads to. What you should not do is use religion as a tool to control, restrict, and scare the shit out of general public.

  24. I think this is very stupid! It is a Human beings right to choose if they want to consume Alcohol or not! What gives the maldivian government to stop this??? Even Homosexuality is a persons right!!! I am not homosexual but I know that you cannon force a person to feel something he doesn't.

    The regulations in maldives suck!

  25. And Sri Lankan;s sell alcohol because they are known as the nation that has the highest alcohol consumption rate in the world, even though the culture is very strong. Possibly even stronger than maldives! And Sri Lankans know the system is bullshit!
