Maldives sickens me!

The only time I remember being proud to be a Maldivian was after the last presidential election, when majority of the people voted to oust dictator Gayoom. But that sense of pride and gratefulness that we as a people have enough sense to do good and what is best for us and our children was short-lived. Contrary to "Dhivehinnah veethee fakhuruveri vamaa", there is nothing to be proud of. We, as a people have failed to stop the drug problem that has infested us. We as a people have let lose amongst us pedophiles, murders, and child molesters. We as a people have let our society go from bad to worse right in front of our eyes as if we are not responsible for what it has become.

It is not some one else's problem to come and fix.

It is high time that we took action to choose good, do good and be good.
