Tholath has some very interesting points too, though I disagree that Maldives is poor. Yes all agencies should have a transparency in sharing information & also should be trained to detect and identify suspicious persons, but that is not enough. We have to first accept the fact that the attack on Mumbai is not about India. It's an attack on tourist's probably Westerners & Europeans. Our resorts are full of foreigners & are remote & it's fully insecured. So we should anticipate an attack any moment & should be prepare for it. Maldives has limited resources. It's obviouse in such a situation we have no training or capacity to resolve it. I do not mean to undermine our force but I speak the fact. Even the mighty India elight force with modern weapons, high tec, & man power took 3 days to take control so we will be only fooling ourself if we try to train our forces to such a situation. Our best option is foreign suport as the last resort ofcourse but our best option would be training to prevent such situation before it ever happens. Close co-ordination with other foreign organizations. It would be better to prevent before it happans rather than clearing the mess using foreign help after it happens.... Very interesting topic.

For me just MNDF and MPS alone could not be solely responsible, this must be equally shared by the other law enforcement agencies like the customs, immigration, penitentiary and other concerned agencies. They should sit and share equal intelligence among them. Even though our country is poor we should put a greater amount of concern to the defense of the country so that the people of Maldives and visitors feel more at home and safe at our islands..

We need to shape our national security capabilities to the new terror strategies. If something similar to Mumbai happens here, God help our country!!

We have to be more careful in the situation in Srilanka. We have to access the situation otherwise looking at the on going war in the North of Srilanka, LTTE is cornered and according to Army Sources it's just a matter of time before they wipe the LTTE from the North. In this situation in a last ditch effort, LTTE might use Maldives as a staging post to hijack Commercial planes and use it on suicide missions against Srilanka. This will be a point where all hell will break loose. On the other hand Maldives will be hosting the next SAARC summit. This will also lure potential assasins in the region to use this peace loving nation as a blood bath city. I think it is high time for the Government of Maldives act proactively look into the situation and act accordingly. tht’s something that we have to think of very deeply.

I have had the opportunity to work directly under the new CoP for some time. I am sure the government would have done a lot of thinking and research before appointing him. He is from a good academic background (Majeediyya and Royal Institute in Colombo), professionally trained at Singapore National Police Academy and the FBI National Academy. He is a very sportsperson, especially in basketball, volleyball and tennis. I am not sure of the length of his service tenure. My guess is he would have completed 19 or 20 years of service by now. All this puts him in a good position to lead MPS and I think with this new challenge, he would surpass his previous performances. I am hopeful that the new CoP work towards making MPS a well respected institution in the public eye by bringing in much needed changes. He would require all of MPS to back him to achieve it. There is a blog post by one of my colleagues about the new Commissioner http://thinkmaldives.wordpress.com/2008/11/19/new-commissioner-of-police/ Hello,

We need fresh ideas and thinking from our Police officers. Thought this is a bit controversial in the maldivian police, given that its a civil organisation it needs to shed its traditional limitations and restrictions. I believe officers like you could go a long way to enabling a bond of trust and understanding between the public and police. Just looking at most comments on your articles would act as evidence to this fact. I hope to see you continue in this path and pray that theres no negative effects to your career due to this blog. Wish to see officer such as you grow more common among our police force and to see a better and more efficient police organization in the near future. And btw it would be very helpful if you could give us a background on your new Commissioner of Police since he is a pretty new face to the public. Good luck, Sir I tend to disagree with the opposing views. We need fresh ideas and thinking from our Police officers.
