A plea to President Nasheed...

As an ordinary Maldivian I would like to sincerely plea to President Nasheed to take all measures to prevent the spread of the consumption of alcohol and other intoxicants in our country.

If the President does otherwise, he would be just following the footsteps of his predecessor in intoxicating further our youth!

The overwhelming majority of Maldivians are Muslims and we do not need 'windows' to be created in the form of laws and regulations that allows alcohol and other intoxicants to be allowed into places where we normally live. If someone wishes to run a business in such places, targetted at tourists and other foreigners, then he/she should abide by the religious and cultural norms of the people in that place.

The rights of the majority of the people should not be overlooked and disregarded in favour of fulfiling the desires of a few individuals...
