Watching Over Maldives



Rf 2000/- to the needy

On the first day of office, Mr. Nasheed promised a pension of Rf 2000.00 to each Maldivian who is above the age of 65. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a package offered to all Maldivians not according to their age but according to their needs.

A comprehensive benefit package should include health care and housing for the old, unemployment benefits and several other elements. However these benefits will only be well received if distributed according to requirements of the community. For example, rather than including all the citizens above 65 as beneficiaries, it should only include those who are in need of the funds.

We are waiting anxiously for details of the promised pension scheme.

    like RF2000/- would be the answer to housing and healthcare needs kekeke…

    This first day of office Mr.Nasheed promised the pension to EACH Maldivian above 65. But later on a press conference, he told answering a question from minivan reporter, that he didn’t say it was for all maldivians above 65!(pointing out to those who already got pensions) lol. He needs a publicist and need to be instructed about what he is saying. Or else he’s gonna be in trouble.

    Now I know why Minivan news is going to stop its work. hehehe…
