Parliamentarian working for Minivan Daily
Hi NormadicEditor, I wanted to ask you a question regarding the article you wrote about the Maldivian parliamentarian, Ahmed Haitham. It says that he worked as a photojournalist for Minivan Daily, and that he was arrested in 2012. Based on the references you provided (see: Reference 1, Reference 2), I couldn't find anything that corroborates that sentence. Is there any other reference you can provide that gives any support to that sentence? Thanks, Unilandofma (talk) 15:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is the news source which confirms he was actually the photojournalist.
According to this article, and during the time of minivan daily as journalists we used to get the pictures from a source called Insaafuge Dhathuru Photo stream ( which back in the days was run under his administration) and according to some Facebook sources it was reported he was arrested during that and I linked the article on the people arrested on minivan daily, the relevance of this is subjective yes! thank you for noticing this.

Thanks for raising the issue, I happened to find more on the incidents of 2012 during the attacks on Maldivian journalists

I am sorry that was a honest mistake! I will not do it again and I am always open to learning, ;) Also thank you for letting me know. Since you are pretty thorough with the policies can you patrol one of my articles for and suggest any changes or anything I have to resolve ?

Re:Hey Again!
Hi, I hope you're doing well and I am too myself! The reason why I'm sending a message to your talk page instead of replying to the one you sent on mine is because that I wasn't able to and my theory as to why is because you didn't sign it! Also please don't delete any previous conversations on my talk page and replace it with new ones. If you want to make a new one, there's a "New Topic" button where you can create a new one. As to the Ahmed Haitham article, you can add the PDFs in a reference but other than that I don't see anything wrong with it. Thanks! Unilandofma(Talk to me!)04:25, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey really sorry about acting like a boomer! :P That would be the best way to dictate that whole mess on your talk page! I just finished restructuring it! I have like 5 more bills and 3 more petitions and 8 more amendments to add there! any suggestions on how I can keep the layout of it ? ( I picked the most controversial ones and left the rest out and still these are the numbers). Also I am doing pretty good got on this after Christmas sugar rush! NormadicEditor (talk) 04:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend you add the most notable things he did instead of like everything he did. As for the layout, I honestly have no idea and I completely apologize! Merry Christmas! (if you celebrate it over there in Austria) Unilandofma(Talk to me!)04:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’m Muslim, so I don’t really celebrate it, but hey, I’m not about to say no to good food and presents. Priorities, right?Now, about those noteworthy numbers they’re so many, it feels like I’m reading Ganoon Asaasee itself! Honestly, bro deserves all the accolades.Speaking of deserving, I started reading the parliamentary Hansard last week, and let me tell you, it was like watching a sitcom. Most of the people sitting there clearly have no idea what they’re doing! I was facepalming so hard, I’m surprised I don’t have a permanent handprint on my forehead. NormadicEditor (talk) 04:52, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Same even I'm Muslim! Honestly, I think all parliament members in the world generally don't realize how much power they have, well I mean some probably do. What got you interested in reading the Hansard? Unilandofma(Talk to me!)05:00, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I had all the bills and documents with me which I got from the assessment, but I needed to confirm that a Maldivian had truly gone through with all of it. For all I see is them screaming atop their voices in parliament! At first, it was utterly unbelievable, so I began reading through the records, meticulously matching them to the dates.Yet, imagine my astonishment, there was a gentleman in the foreign relations committee who, with all earnestness, inquired about the meaning of a “treaty.” That, my dear, is when I abandoned all hope of delving further into the efforts of others. It is truly disheartening to witness such a state of affairs. And to see that Anni, of all people, has but a single piece of parliamentary work to his name this entire term? I was positively shoookath! NormadicEditor (talk) 05:09, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Really? Anni has only one? Honestly I'm shocked and disappointed in him. I expected more from him after all he was a former president but I guess you can't really expect much from Maldivian politicians. Unilandofma(Talk to me!)05:23, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Me too! (I had to hide the factor from my mamma, as it would have broken her heart) Btw I've completely revised the layout and updated the initiative section using information directly from the Hansard records, summarising everything in a more organised paragraph format. I'd appreciate your review, as I needed to conduct extensive research on this matter. The issue is quite significant for us, and even a single misplaced word or sentence could potentially impact the entire proceedings and article.I spent the entire night reviewing the Hansard blocks, and found something quite interesting. In the records, Haitham first presents the numbers and factors, then requests stakeholder investigation because they were initially skeptical. Then, in the second committee Hansard, when they returned with their report confirming his findings, he actually says "I told you so" - word for word - to the stakeholders! Here's what's particularly intriguing though, while this was supposed to be a confidential committee due to national security reasons, all the confidential documents and minutes from the meetings have been made public. The resources are excellent (especially for investigative journo's and potential terrorists), but doesn't this essentially compromise national security? NormadicEditor (talk) 07:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I honestly agree with you it does in a way compromise national security but I'm pretty sure they agreed that for those documents to be declassified. I couldn't find anything from Hansard about Ahmed Haitham though - so I'm curious how you found it. Also, I recommend you don't go too off topic from Ahmed Haitham, after all this is a biography of him. Unilandofma(Talk to me!)10:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've conducted extensive research on maintaining its integrity and have included both the implications and implementation stages (mostly when writing about a resolution or amendment its required to write implication and implementation) , along with their subsequent outcomes. I've added a brief reference to the initiative's impact to demonstrate its catalytic effect. While I've aimed to be comprehensive, I've also tried to maintain focus without straying too far from the core subject. Please let me know if you think the scope needs adjustment. I appreciate your guidance on keeping the content aligned with the objectives.
https://majlis.gov.mv/storage/committee/meetings/minutes/P39StUA4bcKkzkTbjuiUMvnwJF59uxp9slQEkrOP.pdf Page 37 - During the initial committee meeting,(which is dated prior to this one under committee documents but the file is missing as being classified but its on YouTube under committee) Haitham presented specific statistics regarding undocumented migrants in the Maldives, citing approximately 63,000 undocumented migrants with total migrant workers estimated between 145,000 to 230,000. These figures were met with skepticism from stakeholders, who were then tasked with conducting their own investigation to verify the numbers. When the stakeholders returned to the second committee meeting with their findings(which is this one), their report confirmed Haitham's initial assessment. This led to a notable moment in the Hansard records where Haitham responded with "I told you so" to the stakeholders, highlighting the accuracy of his preliminary research and validating his concerns about the scale of undocumented workers in the Maldives- (this is confidential but is available under committee hansard labeled as confidential to public) Also my bad! I forgot to put this hansard as a cite! I'm so glad you are thorough!!
It’s very tiring, but I am a perfectionist. This was supposed to be my vacation, and I’m writing at home, not at work! Everyone else is elsewhere with their significant others, while I’m here digging up dirt on politicians! Did you see my article on Yoosuf Maaniu Mohamed? NormadicEditor (talk) 22:48, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aah! I will update that one, I need to revise the entire article, also its not yet reviewed by the Maldivian project. but before that, I require guidance on how to handle the ventilator corruption issue. MP Haitham was the one who brought this matter to parliament's attention. Subsequently, the minister provided false information about it. This led to multiple inquiries, followed by a letter from the Majlis (sent by the MP) summoning the health minister. The case then proceeded to the Prosecutor General's office, where they declined to press charges. It was then referred to arbitration before returning to parliament. The issue continued with further motions and extensive debates.It's important to note that debates and parliamentary work are distinct. Debates involve discussion, while actual parliamentary work primarily occurs in committees and represents the substantive efforts of the parliament.My main concern is whether I should create a separate redirect for the ventilator corruption issue or simply highlight the key points as concisely as possible, focusing on the most relevant aspects. What would you advise? NormadicEditor (talk) 01:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yes I will highlight the key points, but after the whole research I did last night, that one needs a section below the corruption in Maldives page, I didn't know it was a whole saga until last night. NormadicEditor (talk) 07:42, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
