yes i believe so. even if the change is bad so it won’t be worst compared to the past 30 years. i believe, the Maldivian democracy is right now going through fundamental change. we may expect uncertainity in coming years but i have high hopes for the long run.
Change for good indeed. I have no doubt about it at all. Compared to past THIRTY years, this is a definitely a good cahnge. There is no way any body in the right mind can say that this is a bad change. Welcome Anni. You are the HERO.
